5 reasons why Vince McMahon is reportedly "stopping" scripted promos

#2. It's a tried, tested and proven method

Batista has been highly critical of WWE's scripted promos

Batista is a superstar who belongs to the Ruthless Aggression Era. He was never the best promo guy but thrived because he was given the creative freedom, even in promos. In an intervie with Wrestling Sheet Radio, Batista tore into the nature of WWE's creative process, revealing that the current performers have their hands tied.

"The creative process I still don’t get. It was a nightmare to me the last time I was there, which was 2014, and it seems like its become worse. I feel like they don’t have a clear vision, a long term vision, everything is very week-to-week. It doesn’t seem like they stick to a plan very much.” [Chris] Jericho pointed out something to me that makes complete sense. He said that John Cena is the last guy who is gonna be over like he is and it’s because the performers now they’re limited. Their hands are tied. They can’t go to war like we used to. We used to go to war and beat the crap out of each other and it earned a level of respect from people. And it was just like a different level of respect, it was a different level of getting over. We had more freedom.”

What he's saying is absolutely right and he had openly stated in the past that he hated scripted promos and preferred one where he just needed rough bullet points. Basically, he is an example of it being a tried and tested method that works. Many within WWE know this and it may only be now that they've had their voices heard.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
