Notes on a conversation on PW Torch's post Raw show between Wade Keller and a caller who "is close with WWE writers"
As previously noted, Triple H recently liked and then un-liked a few tweets that were critical of the current WWE product.
There appears to be some real-life frustrations from Triple H and other people within WWE. A close friend of three WWE writers recently called into PWTorch.com's post-RAW podcast and discussed the WWE creative process. The writers had allegedly been drinking and vented to the caller about Vince McMahon.
Here is what the caller said about the criticism of WWE:
>“No one should rip on WWE creative. They have some of the most brilliant, unbelievable cool ideas that I’ve ever heard… We’re writing for an audience of one and never forget that [and if not] you’re out of here.”
>“The most frustrated person in the back every single night is Triple H. He’ll always take, especially the NXT guys, under his wing. It looks like he’s consoling them. It looks so much like he was the most frustrated person in the building every single night.”
Here are some additional notes from the caller courtesy of WrestlingNews.co:
>– The Wild Card Rule was not in the script on the morning of the show.
>– The Superstar Shake-Up changed week to week and it didn’t pan out how it was originally laid out months prior. Everything changed because Vince just decided to change it.
>– He talked about the turnover with so many backstage people quitting or being fired.
>– SmackDown and Raw writing teams are the same for both shows. They used to be separate but that changed recently after the Shake-Up.
>– The caller emphasized that the problems in WWE are not creative’s fault and Vince McMahon is the one person who deserves the blame.
>– Vince wants suggestions from everyone but it never gets on TV. 99 out of 100 times you can come up with an idea for Vince and it won’t be used.
