Before he announced his retirement, it was heavily reported that former WWE CEO Vince McMahon was known for ripping up scripts before tapings of RAW and SmackDown. However, former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz claimed that he had never witnessed McMahon do such a thing. While promoting his new book, There’s Just One Problem: True Tales From the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE, Gewirtz addressed the reports of McMahon scratching plans before tapings.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On reports that McMahon would rip up scripts: “No script was ever ripped in my presence when I was there. I remember in 2012 when I was able to take a part-time job with WWE, the process was far less dramatic than what some reports would have you believe.”
On how he saw it happen: “Ideally when it comes to SmackDown on Fridays and Raw on Mondays, some version of the script — and hopefully one that remains intact — is done before you show up to the arena.”
