During a recent appearance on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, former WWE/WCW writer Vince Russo discussed his time as a writer in WWE and compared it to the current WWE creative team. He said,
“You know, bro, there was a time when it was just me and Vince [McMahon] writing the show. That’s it. And then, when the Attitude Era really started taking off, Vince couldn’t do it anymore, so that’s when Ed Ferrara came in, and it was just two guys. Now, you’ve got 20-something writers and all these people, and, bro, I would not last in that environment for 24 hours, man.”
Russo also talked about how he wouldn’t be able to deal with a creative team in WWE. He stated,
“Bro, especially when you’re doing two live weekly shows. There’s no time for that, bro. There’s no time to get the opinions of 20 people and sit in on meetings and committees. There’s no time for that, bro. And I think that has to do with, in my opinion, why you see a very lackluster production.”
