"Lack of creativity" - 51-year-old personality goes off on WWE's work culture

WWE has thrived under Triple H's leadership in the past few months, but the company's workings probably won't change anytime soon. Recently, Jonathan Coachman went off on the excruciating work culture in the Stamford-based promotion and pointed out a few concerning things.

Recently, Rolling Stone released an article titled 'Inside the WWE Writer's Room', where six previous writers opened up about their experience of writing weekly content for the Stamford-based promotion. One such writer pointed out the management's lack of faith and stated it won't change anytime soon under Triple H's regime.

Later, Jonathan Coachman (former interim General Manager and commentator) went off on WWE's work culture. The 51-year-old personality pointed out the issues with the hectic writing shift and structure and stated that complacency and lack of creativity are clearly shown due to the tiring culture.

"Until there is a fundamental shift in philosophy writing for the @WWE will continue to be one of the best/worst jobs out there. Imagine having a deadline for a big project every week at your job. You work ALL week on it and then they rip up your work on Saturday. And they tell you instead of spending that Saturday you had to get on a 4-8 hour conference call. And every week is like groundhog day rinse and repeat. That leads to complacency and lack of creativity. They are more worried about the deadline at 8p on Mondays then writing a great show," Coachman wrote.

Jonathan Coachman doesn't want to return to WWE on a full-time basis

Almost two decades ago, Jonathan Coachman was a regular on WWE television. The 51-year-old veteran portrayed different roles before he left the Stamford-based company for ESPN.

Despite a second short stint in WWE, Coachman has no interest in returning to the Stamford-based promotion under Triple H's new regime. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, he detailed the key reasons behind his decision.

"If everybody's [commentators in a three-man booth] not on the same page, the ball's going to go out of bounds. And that's what I felt like those few months when I came back in 2018, we fumbled the ball out of bounds because it was a three-man booth. If I had been there with Michael [Cole] or whoever, and I would've been allowed to go back as heel Coach in a two-man booth, I think it would've been completely different. So, that's why I say, Never say never," Coachman said.

It'll be interesting to see if the company makes any positive changes to its writing culture behind the scenes.
