>>18217255You have no idea how far creative control goes in the WWE.
Specific moves, facial expressions, the way you walk, the way you bump, everything is directed by creative.
Ever heard the Dusty Rhodes quote "next year we'll be making motion pictures and sitcoms"?
In the WWE, they decided to do that with the wrestling show, the wrestling promos, and each wrestling match.
All choreographed and directed on a motion-by-motion level.
Keeps a lot of talent from getting over.
The whole "Hollywood writers" narrative is completely true.
