Imagine getting handed a script that's just one giant page-spanning wall of text in like 8 point font about 5 minutes before you're supposed to walk out into a stadium full of people on live national television and recite it word for word with the looming threat that if you forget even a little bit of it your career could fall apart immediately.

And then worship the people in charge of it even after they can your rear end with added garbage bag of locker gear!

I wonder if Vince ever had his part, scripted, when he was an active part of the show

If you're wondering why so many people go into the PC and get hidden away for a decade because 'they're not ready', a lot of it probably has to do with the ability to memorize and recite word vomit

The lockbox was totally something that wasn't scripted because nobody ever followed through on it

I’ve worked on big Hollywood sets and no budget schlock fests and even the worst indie scripts looked better than that.

Even the worst indie scripts have had to go through so many layers of quality control and rewrites and are literally never torn up and redone the day of shooting.

Unless you work for like David O Russell or something.

I'm pretty certain that happened on The Room, largely from the rest of the crew desperately trying to make something resembling a movie out of the batshit nonsense scripts Tommy Wiseau had written.

That's about the level that WWE's creative process is on. The Room.

I'll grant that. A room full of writers and you're still chasing the high water mark of screenwriting established by " oh hi mark"

Sorry if I offended you - I don't go on fanfiction.net but the writing of that script reminds me of the worst type of descriptive writing by fanfic writers that is sometimes highlighted on these dead forums.

My partner once told me about an ex-boyfriend who would write WWE/Highlander fiction. So like WWE wrestlers would fight each other but at the end of matches they would behead each other and do the quickening thing. I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of HHH putting a guy in a pedigree and just having his head pop off. My partner didn't totally understand what a pedigree is so she drew this when I explained it to her.

The problem with Moon/Kai is it ended in a DQ. This is at least the second match where Raquel has hosed everything up and its so incredibly main roster.

As for Kross, he's definitely retaining on Sunday but it would be a mistake. Everyone else in that ring completely took a hatchet to his character and completely shredded any credibility he had.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Poppy is a musician who was working with Titanic Sinclair and making weird youtube videos and a pretty decent second album. She started collaborating with WWE, began producing kind of lame metal music, but fortunately got away from the abusive Titanic Sinclair. It feels like she has a lot less buzz now than two years ago when she was kind of a niche thing.

Thanks. Saw the name and thought she was an indy wrestler who got an unfortunate NXT name.
