It's been pretty heavily rumored/suspected that CrankyVince was a writer or former writer given the Mania deal so I wonder if that lends legitimacy to the tweet about Del Rio wanting to quit and that was the last straw.

This is all completely unrelated to WWE reaching a business agreement with Twitter earlier today.

I never know if I should take a Moose post seriously, but:

quote:

Twitter announced this afternoon that selected content partners could integrate photos, videos, and audio directly into users' Twitter feeds--effectively bypassing the traditional 144-character post limit.


A post on Twitter's company blog noted that followers of content partners "can now see content previews, view images, play videos and more." Initial content partners include The New York Times, Der Spiegel, WWE, The San Francisco Chronicle, BuzzFeed, TMZ, MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Lifetime, BET, and Dailymotion. The expanded tweets program was launched on twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com today and will be expanded to mobile and tablet apps next week; there is no word on whether Twitter-owned TweetDeck will be upgraded to include this functionality.

There was a very short period at the beginning of the account where WWE_Creative had some funny stuff - quite a bit of it was quoted probably in this thread or the last one. After a short while it really fell off and they just started tossing out anything they came up with and most of it was bad.

Yeah, wrestling related stuff very rarely trends for any length of time. According to Tweetstats Chris Sabin actually trended for 4 minutes today, so not that long at all.

Not necessarily -- we always hear reports about the creative team being constantly frustrated by Vince's mercurial personality, and then guys like DeJoseph and Lagana go on the record and we find out that their ideas were just as terrible, because WWE tends to hire failed sitcom writers.

I think they have a team of 16 writers just to act as Stephanie's sewing circle so it looks like she's being productive while they all eat ketchup soaked steak wraps.

Doesn't Lagana have a hand in current TNA and the great Ring Ka King? Dude's not that bad. (although his twitter babel can gently caress right off.)

The main problems with WWE creative is

1) Vince is a indecisive loon who flip flops at the drop of a hat. That hat he wore on ECW? He bought it just to drop it.

2)Stephanie McMahon isn't a talented writer, nor a talented head of writing.

3)Too many writers. Even when a great idea comes out like Nexus or CM Punk the Rebel comes along it ends up muddied and tarnished by too many cooks spoiling the soup, leaving a great idea followed by a bland, flavourless mulch.

4) Too much emphasis on mainstream success of writers. There's great bookers out there, it's just WWE wouldn't hire them unless they wrote at least one episode of "CSI:Bumblefuck Wisconsin". Guys like Jimmy Cornette and Paul Heyman wouldn't even get a look in today.

There are more, but those are the main ones.

Isn't Dusty Rhodes still one of the head writers? I wonder if he's ever repeated the Austin promo with one of the younger talents.

turn it all around

Vince Russo made one good point in his YouShoot video - the best way to have wrestling written is by one guy being the head and having an assistant/partner. With a committee of people writing the show, there's going to be too many people trying to do their own thing and nobody is ever going to get over. One person writing the show in his/her vision and everyone sticking to those plans really does seem to work best. At least everything seems cohesive, even if it's a cohesive poo poo show.
