10 Reasons WWE Raw Will Never Be The Same Again
5. Vince McMahon Doesn't Respect His Writers
Or he doesn't respect their time. Or their process. Or their work.
So no, he doesn't he respect his writers. He can't do - if he did, he wouldn't arrive at Raw shortly before airtime and tear the whole script up over and over again as we've all heard about over the last few years.
It was this precise indiscretion that WWE documentaries used to savage WCW for during its decline, but the practice since been normalised because, it would seem, McMahon likes it this way. A system that was set up to allow him to have a bit less needless control now finds him assuming the reins at the worst possible moment - with hardly any time before air.
Raw takes the brunt of it, and has in recent years undergone some flabbergasting changes as a result. Remember all matches being 2-out-of-3 falls ones? It's a bit like how they're all "contender" scraps now, as if that really means anything.
There was a time when McMahon used to call himself a genius on screen as a heel and people agreed. When he does it now, it plays as parody. He's lost control of his own narrative - there's no way he should be in charge of anybody else's.
