Part of the reason AEW exists is so many fans and wrestlers were turned off of this system.

Yeah I mean it’s honestly hard to say if writers could be used well in wrestling because there are only so many examples and they are A) a promotion that tried a cinematic model that nobody else has adopted full time, B) a crazy old man using a writers room to exert control over his employees/contractors, and C) Vince Russo.

imo the crux of the argument is that the stuff that you'd want writers for are things that already exist in the promotions (bookers, coaches, etc) and everything else a writer would do is the sort of thing people've already gone over as not working

Should they go learn from a writer? Yeah, might help. But at the end of the day it needs to come from them. Or think of it this way, Sports Entertainment is pop music using writers and Wrestling is song writers performing their own music.

Drakkel posted:What wrestling companies besides WWE and maybe Lucha Underground have even had professional writers? Because every other example I can think of that had a "writer" that writer was literally Vince Russo. The Kikuchi guy at the centre of the whole Ibushi saga was a former TV writer for TV Asahi

Endless Mike posted:Want to know which shows Roman stole Struggling to think of any outside of the Shield vs Wyatt Family six mans. Roman looked fantastic in the Elimination Chamber 2014 one as the last man fighting desperately but eventually getting overrun by the numbers. Any other notable good matches have been main events and a main event can't steal the show since it's the big selling point.
