Former WWE creative team writers are usually well qualified. For example, Dave Lagana worked on the hit TV show Friends before starting to write for Smackdown. That's pretty representative of the majority of writers, they all tend to have industry experience on other shows. Yet when it comes to WWE, so many of the writers leave quickly, often complaining of a "cult" like atmosphere. It has been observed that working for WWE isn't like writing for a proper corporate entertainment company. It's more like writing for a dark and shady cult, a power broker that demands conformity and a hive like way of thinking. "I would describe it as a cult-like atmosphere, with these marathon phone calls and unending meetings and endless conversations about wrestling, former writer Domenic Cotter told Power Slam. Dan Madigan backed that view up, I dont work there anymoreBut when I talk about it, I still say, We do this, we do that. Thats the cult talking.
