Former WWE Superstar Ken Anderson was a recent member of the Headlocked Panel at C2E2 where he was asked about various topics.
During it, he noted that WWE always pushed for everything to look as realistic as possible.
“When I was at WWE, it was always stressed to us like, ‘what would you do in a real fight? This would never happen in a real fight.’ Now you’ve got invisible man matches and stuff like that, they are not going on in WWE, but I love that. I love the fact that people are just able to express themselves and have fun.”
Anderson also talked about dealing with the writers not being easy and how he felt he had to make them feel like it was their idea.
“There’s a lot of guys will say, you always have to pitch in a certain way,” he said. “Especially when you’re dealing with writers. Because, they’re the writers, like, ‘you’re the wrestlers, we’re the writers, let’s do our job, you do your job.’ So, people will say you have to present it in a way that it sounds like it’s their idea almost.
“Then there’s a lot of situations, it has never happened to me, but I have heard of situations where somebody will pitch something, and then they will say no. Then, two weeks later, somebody else is doing that.”
