 I mean, there's really no reason to come to WWE at this point unless you're destitute

 Hunter is not perfect by any means but there's like no way it can be a worse product when Vince dies. It's not possible.

 I can see him loving up big stuff by inserting himself but I just can't fathom the overall product being as lovely as it currently is.

mary had a little clam posted:

Regarding Writer/Vince/HHH chat earlier in the thread, I have a stupid question:

Do you think WWE could, if they so chose, hire the showrunner of a successful "prestige TV" show to come do a "season" of WWE and help unfuck all the dumb writing and bad planning? Like would the skills translate? I'm thinking, like, could you throw some money at Game of Thrones' David Benioff and have him point WWE in the right direction? I mean, he runs a show with like 50 main characters where the whole point is people fighting and betraying each other. Do you think that would make him able to write WWE better?

If not an outside showrunner, who would you have replace HHH/Vince as the heads of Creative?


They think they do everything better than everyone else. There's nothing that could be done to change anything until Vince is gone.

 If you completely remove the McMahon's from the equation, there's absolutely no reason a professional TV showrunner couldn't add to the product assuming they let the match agents worry about the in ring stuff.

As things stand now, no reasonable tv person who could get a job elsewhere would work in the wwe environment and in the off chance they took that leap, it would probably be 90 days or less before they quit.

The writers exist to flesh out Vince's bad ideas and be interchangeable parts which can be disposed of when those ideas inevitably fail.
