Mostly because you wouldn't be able to credibly validate which promos were scripted vs not. Unless Vince has an incredible memory and willing to talk.
On the flip side, how many terrible promos in the past were non scripted? A good promo guy should be able to do either.
From what I understand about the scripting of promos is that guys who are identified as needing to be kept on point are given less rope when it comes to promos. A guy like John Cena doesn't have every word written for him. A guy like Foley or Flair who is constantly losing their place when they are in the ring needs to be reigned in. Also some guys today PREFER to be scripted. When you watch a show like SNL do you think they are just winging it? Everything is scripted word for word.
