From what I've read and heard, matches used to be much more ad-libbed with wrestlers basically just calling their own match. The only thing they knew was how much time and how to finish.
BUt now, from what I understand, a lot of the matches in in the indy scene are becoming more and more rehearesed. While in the major promotions, bookers are definitely saying whihc moves they want to see and how they want thte match to play out. In the WWE's case, this could be for many reasons depending on wh you listen to: safety, they think workers get over if the fans become accustomed to their move sets, they want the HOLYSHIT moves toned down so they don't overshadow the main eventers, etc.
PM Dave Youell. As a real live worker in the business I'm sure he knows plenty on this subject.
