#5 Involving wrestlers in the writing process

Back in the regional days of pro wrestling, the match winners were predetermined but often it was the wrestlers themselves who would write the script.

Every match should ideally tell a story, and the promos, interviews, and sneak attacks are just chapters in the overall arcing angle. However, the WWE is well known for involving writers in the creative process who have had little or no experience with actual pro wrestling.

The WWE creative team is one of the most maligned factions on social media, and sometimes it's not just the fans decrying them. One very vocal critic is the Big Show, who says he likes live events better because there's less interference by the writing staff.

I hate TVs. (As in television taping days.) TVs, I just want to bash myself in the head with a hammer because they're just long, useless, time-wasting, bulls--t days where you sit around all friggin day for some idea that absolutely sucks. Debating it for hours and 17,000 inputs. And one or two guys laced up a pair of wrestling boots in their life and know what they're talking about. The others have never laced up a pair and really don't know s--t, but for some reason, they're telling you what to do.

By allowing more wrestler input into the creative process, WWE can help retain their wrestlers.
