It's not exactly their fault. They do that during the week, but at the meetings at the weekend they go through it with Vince and others and he inevitably calls for rewrites. This can happen several times in a row, so suddenly it's Sunday and the show is still being put together. On Monday there might be even more last minute changes by Vince.

Really though, it seems way too easy to blame it all on Vince forcing rewrites. You'd think by now they'd be use to it and maybe plan ahead a bit or something. I'm not saying Vince doesn't make them do rewrites, but maybe they have to do rewrites because its something that's just as terrible as what comes out Monday, who knows really.
That problem been happening since 2002. On a podcast with two writers from Raw and Smackdown talking about Katie Vick. They mentioned that if Vince has a phrase he wants to use he will use it. Like the screw your brains out in Katie Vick or the hymen joke he had. Also, they were asked if they had any storyline they were proud of and both said no because what aired was always different from what they wrote.

Get equipped with five shots of doom.
Hmm actually Guts man lobs rocks, well it's a burial at least.

Apparently Kane was going to take the belt from HHH in 2002. There was a writers meeting the day before the PPV and everyone agreed it was the appropriate way to go.
That night, HHH had dinner with Vince and convinced him to hold onto the belt a little longer. The finish was changed the next day, and HHH kept the belt.
In other words, yeah.

What?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
Well now i'm just genuinely annoyed, if there was ever a title match Kane should've won it was that one.

It's a shame because this is such a good forum with a great community with a lot of activity.
Wow. That's bullshit.
Kane was a huge push back then, and really damn over. He absolutely should have won that time.
Booker T and Rob Van Damn was supposed win back in 2002 over Triple H but was changed as well. You got to remember in 2002-2003 it was the Triple H show and he was at his peak in burying people.
There were tons of guys back in the early 2000's: Benoit, Angle, Kane, Taker, Michaels (to a degree), Jericho, Booker T, Lesnar (02-04), RVD... that's not even counting Austin and Rock which were the two go points in those early years of the decade. There was an abundance of talent. And if you went by Triple H's mouth, you'd think he deserved it all.

Reminder if anyone wants to watch some good wrestling this weekend.
Yeah, this was confirmed by two writers on the LAW podcast this week.
It's what has convinced me that this show will suck just as much with HHH in charge. He's going to be in every damn major storyline, and still bury people. Him beating Punk last year showed me that. Hell, I still can't believe he went over Punk, without even a rubber match to even it up, lol.
He went over Sheamus at Wrestlemania 26, although you can make sure he put that young buck over because Sheamus won in the April PPV, Backlash Extreme Rules. Still stupid - why not have it done on the biggest stage? Reminds me of the Cody-Big Show thing this year. It's mindless.
Man I was looking for that gif the longest time, thanks!

HHH won all his ppv matches last year, he crushed Punk with his COO powers, brought Nash back to make him job and defeated Undertaker in the greatest match in WM history because Undertaker couldn't walk out on his own power.
edit: On closer inspection there was a forgettable tag match HHH lost against Awesome Truth, then again I bet Punk took the pinfall.
Yep and WrestlingCrap guys need to show up and present the 'Certificate of Authenticity' for the Katie Vick stuff she signed.
The Cody Big Show thing was more of a "feel good" thing for Big Show, to give him his "Wrestlemania moment" or whatever. It's not like Big Show wins too many of his feuds.
Never forget. This is were Nexus angle died. Still don't understand why this happened.

Goddammit what a promo, he was definitely shooting in much of that, don't care what anyone says, you could even see it in Cena's face once he sat up and leaned against the ring. I also loved he still ripped the crowd, that tweener face/heel character was perfect. Unfortunately you gotta sell merchandise so they had to make him a babyface.

I'm fucking fuming right now. I thought that guy was alright because he always slams TNA and Sting every chance he gets. Now I don't know what to think; TNA and Sting are good?

Why? BECAUSE CENA. FUCK YOU.
Spin gets a white girlfriends and that happens.
:lol
does he make her say YES all day?
i dont think an action figure is a sign of things to come. Kelly Kelly and Layla have a toy. i recall the one Raw where Maryse caught Santino playing with her toy.
if AJs shirt doesnt look like a girl shirt id wear it. I was thinking of picking up the Kofi Kingston shirt anyway.
Nah, Sonic catchphrases.
gotta go fast
You know he does.

You know who was awesome? The Warrior;
OK, he wasn't awesome, but I wish more of today's wrestlers had even an ounce of his intensity.
"Now you must deal with the creation of all the unpleasantries, in the entire universe, as I feel the injection from the gods above. I only know that the Ultimate Warrior is TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL!!!!"
