FORMER WWE WRITER GIVES INTERVIEW:

Former WWE creative team member Brian Mann was a recent guest with John Pollock and Wai Ting on The LAW chatting about his time with the team from this past summer through his exit in October. Here are the highlights…

The chain of command on the team: At the end of the day, the show has one writer, and that's Vince. So, you can have a team of 12-15 people, and they're being delegated certain responsibilities at certain times, but ultimately what ends up on TV is, of all the ideas and everything that Vince hears, what he decides to go with. Ultimately, when it goes to Vince, there's no writer credit, nothing like that. As far as the hierarchy, it sort of gets thrown out the window. People have various responsibilities, but it's nothing that interesting to really talk about. As far as the creative aspects, at the end of the day, the show has one writer. A lot of the preconceived notions that I had going into it, as far as various egos and why certain things are done, I was wrong about a lot of it. Just coming out of the experience, I certainly view the product much differently, and I would certainly say that I left the process having a whole lot more respect for everybody involved.

I'd say one of the biggest misconceptions that goes out there, and this is something I felt sometimes the Internet communities are a little too harsh on the creative team...being able to look at it from the scripting phase and the brainstorming phase, and finally what ends up on television, the things that are on TV that maybe sometimes don't necessarily come across as the best written are rarely due to poor writing. A lot of times I'd say it can be poor execution, sometimes it can be just be simply poor response. Other times, you have a really great, solid idea, and when you just get so many opinions and ideas being thrown it, it waters it down. This is something I was told in the very beginning - for every idea that comes up, there's a fantastic reason to do it, and a fantastic reason not to do it.

The CM Punk​ angle coming out of 'Money in the Bank': I certainly heard tons of stories afterwards, because everyone who was on the writing team was obviously there during that. I started two weeks afterwards. I'll certainly say that everyone involved in that angle was extremely proud of it. Everyone on the team just could not say enough, as far as just saying how electric it felt to be in the room. As far as being in Chicago, just how it really felt that you were a part of something huge. They were all so incredibly excited for it.

I don't know who it was on the writing team, but a couple people were feeling a little down, as great as it was, because it was like, "Oh great, how are we gonna mess this up?" Knowing that, whenever something huge like this happens, it's the follow-up. Again, I think a large part of that is not necessarily the writing team, it's the way the show is produced that makes it so hard to get an idea and stick with it.

I remember one of the big stories that was all over the Internet that (Dave) Meltzer was pushing a lot was the story about when Punk came back, there was this whole thing where Hunter was supposed to Pedigree him, that was one of the story ideas. Now, without going into that full story idea, because I later heard what the full idea was, this is just kinda the thing of half-judging something knowing only a portion of the story that leaks on the Internet. That other storyline, that would have culminated with Triple H Pedigreeing him that evening, I think would have been much better for his character. Knowing the full context surrounding it, I think it would have been much, much better.

Interview with Dixie Carter of TNA:

Source: PWInsider.com & ImpactWrestling.com

Dixie Carter answered questions from fans on TNA's website:

On the show name change: "The show has always been called Impact. But as we grew the TNA corporate brand beyond Impact, we felt it was important (and the time) to let Impact stand on its own. It's still under the TNA banner, it's still the TNA World Heavyweight Title, but the show name is Impact Wrestling."

On taking Impact live: "I would love Impact to be live each week, but it's a matter of economics. As far as wrestling news sites are concerned, if you want to be surprised then people should not read them. If people choose to, they certainly shouldn't judge anything based upon one person's opinion, good or bad. The few times I have seen a spoiler, they always tell a limited, one-dimensional side of a story, and usually a very biased one at that."

On letting the younger talent do media work: "We work very hard to get as many of the younger talent doing media as possible. If I had to guess, Hulk Hogan has done tens of thousands of interviews and of course, everyone in the media always wants to talk to him. It is a top priority to expose the younger talent in mainstream media and in outside film/tv projects. The more they do, the bigger their profile."

On taking Impact on the road: "It is our top priority to take the show on the road on a permanent basis. Hopefully we will announce more live event Impact taping dates soon."

On the six-sided ring: "I liked us using the 6-sided ring for our X Division Pay-Per-View, Destination X, this year. We should do that every year, but at this time, there are no plans to bring it back as our permanent ring."

On dealing with heat: "I think you meant haters. If so, you grow tough skin and know you will never please everyone all the time. You work to please the most people as much of the time as you can."

On the X-Division: "I am a huge X Division fan. In the beginning, we had great talent representing that division, but those top guys have moved on to other opportunities on the roster. Today, we have the best crop of new and upcoming X Division stars and we are going to give them time on the show each week."

On having a slogan of 'Wrestling Matters' yet only having seven minutes of wrestling on a recent show: "Very rarely does Impact have that little wrestling, but on occasion, there is a need for that. It was necessary for the 10/20 show to have the focus it did and to bring forward our wrestling stories, and I'm happy to say it was our most viewed Impact Wrestling episode to-date."

On the direction of the company: "I've never felt better about every aspect of the company. I think Impact Wrestling is better than it has ever been. So many of the younger talent have stepped up and are earning the spotlight. We are having tremendous international success, and are growing the corporation in many new areas, which are critical to our overall growth. I'm very excited about the upcoming year."

I hate it when they interview the owner of a company, and they ALWAYS say, no matter what's REALLY going on, that the company is doing the best it's ever been and that they're so excited about where things are going in the future for the company. Um, what ELSE are you gonna say? That you think you're heading a sinking ship? Of course not. You're gonna say you're so looking forward to the future no matter what because the minute YOU seem worried, there'd be no reason for the public to wanna invest in whatever it is that you're doing. So, just give the fuckin' facts and figures and shut the hell up about your so-called "optimism".

Oh, and she's in my "mature" division of my stable, fellas. Hands off, L4OA! mad

Last night, I watched the HBK/Hitman DVD and it was really well done. It was great that they laid everything out there and give their sides with the other sitting next to them. Bret mentioned they left some footage on the cutting room floor and I'd love to see that too.

One thing I think they skimmed over though was the "Sunny Days" thing because we all know Shawn had just broken up with her but that's never talked about lol

You know what would've made the DVD even better? If they had Vince come down and be a part of the whole Survivor Series discussion. Because there were really 3 parties involved in that whole thing and the biggest one wasn't even there.

One thing I did not know was how close or cool HBK and Bret were when HBK sorta first started there. He was close with Bret's family and everything. That, I never knew. I just wish they had put the bonus shit that they put on the Blu-Ray version onto the DVD version, like the segments between interviews and shit.

I kinda knew about it. I skimmed through Bret's book back in '08 and saw a picture of him and Shawn (when he had the '92 mullet lol ) and he mentioned he and Shawn hung out back then. If you remember in Bret's "Wrestling With Shadows" documentary, in one segment where Bret is in Vince's office having a discussion, Bret's son is hanging out in the ring playing with Shawn lol

TNA & OVW Reach Deal

TNA sent out the following today…

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE TRAINING PROGRAM AT OVW
Focus On Development Key To TNA


NASHVILLE, TN (November 7, 2011)– TNA IMPACT WRESTLING announces that they are entering into an exclusive relationship with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), effective immediately, as the official training and developmental facility for TNA's current and future stars of TNA IMPACT WRESLTING. Former wrestling star and OVW owner Danny Davis will work closely with TNA SVP of Programming and Talent Relations Bruce Prichard in the development of the talent through training, live events, and weekly television production allowing talent to explore every aspect of the business.

"OVW is the best of the best as far as training and nurturing potential superstars. Their track record speaks for itself. Whether looking to develop brand new talent or to fine tune existing talent, OVW has the talent and program to fit our needs." says TNA's Prichard. "TNA is providing developmental talent the opportunity to hone their craft in an environment that will allow them to grow and prosper."

TNA talent will be arriving soon at the facility to begin an extensive training program with the industry's leading experts. The program is akin to a college scholarship program where talent is provided a scholarship style agreement with TNA to learn the craft. The talent to attend the program is selected by TNA's Prichard and TNA officials who will be monitoring the progress of each wrestler at camp and the live events.

Let's hope so!! Because TNA's wrestlers could sure use a nice development program like what OVW was to WWE 10 years ago! Hopefully, it will be just as fruitful for them. FCW has absolutely SUCKED for the WWE. Look at the lack of stars they have now. Hell, the stars that they do have now came from OVW and not FCW, so that says what?! lol

A couple of things that made OVW so successful were Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman. This OVW won't have that.

But TNA having their own development territory is definitely a good thing.

I remember Lita when she was Miss Congeniality in ECW with Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill.

CHICKENS!!!

Damn, did ANYONE in the 1998-2000 ECW period go and do bigger things?

Rob Van Dam was THE only one to win world titles outside of the original ECW (one-time WWE champion, one-time ECW champion (ECWWE era), one-time TNA World Heavyweight champion).

Even Taz (consider one of THE best ECW champions of all-time) has never had a great career outside of the original ECW other than being a 1/2 of the former WWE tag-team champions with Spike Dudley.

Even when Vince put the belt on RVD in '06, he was too late. He should've put the belt on him in 2001 to 2002.

He was hugely over from the moment he walked in the WWE.

Most guys from that whole WCW/ECW storyline were treated as heels, but he was extremely popular right away.
