Communication gets very muddy, and I think a lot of guys feel a little trapped. Almost like they can&#8217;t defend themselves within the constructs of the company. So, when you have a system like that, you&#8217;re gonna continue to have outbursts, and some are going to be more public than others, depending on the frustration level. That&#8217;s just the system that they&#8217;ve set up, so they&#8217;ve gotta deal with whatever happens.<\/p>\n<p><b>On the backstage environment:<\/b> I think the main disconnect is that you grow up watching Stone Cold or The Rock and you think it&#8217;s super awesome. Then you get on the road and you&#8217;re traveling 300 days a year and you have to drive 300 miles in between shows, there&#8217;s so much stress. Just booking travel, just that by itself, booking hotel rooms every night and booking cars, paying for all your travel, is a constant thing. I got caught up into it as well, I got sick of a lot of the aspects of it when I was there. It&#8217;s a bit different when you get there than what you think it will be. That&#8217;s the thing about the system is that you can&#8217;t really take breaks, especially if you&#8217;re in a decent spot. You gotta stick it out, and ride it out until they&#8217;re not writing you anymore, because if you pull out &#8211; unless you&#8217;re [John] Cena or The Undertaker &#8211; you lose your spot. So if you want to take a vacation, good luck getting back into the rotation. So it&#8217;s a little stressful in that regard as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wrestlers having scripted promos:<\/b> The problem with a lot of the promos nowadays is that not only do [wrestlers] not believe in what they&#8217;re talking about, they don&#8217;t even know what they&#8217;re talking about because it&#8217;s not even their words. I which I can take back every promo I did on Raw or SmackDown, because I was always handed an exact word-for-word script, full pages written out. My first promo killed me, because I was trying to memorize every word of it. You only have a few hours to memorize a page of words, and try to make it seem at all genuine, which is not easy. Every now and then I would ask the writers, &#8216;Do I have to say this exact thing?&#8217; They would say, &#8216;Well. It was written by Vince himself, so yeah.&#8217; There&#8217;s a bunch of writers, and they would be interchangeable depending on the week or the month. [There is sort of a high turnaround], and I wouldn&#8217;t know what would happen to these guys, whether they would get sick of it and quit, or what. I know they were frustrated as well, because everything has to be run through Vince or [HHH], so they didn&#8217;t have a lot of freedom themselves. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re talented [writers], but they really didn&#8217;t have a job to do, other than run back and forth between performer and Vince.<\/p>\n<p><b>Randy Orton&#8217;s backstage bullying:<\/b> Randy [Orton] would get angry at something in a match. I remember a few instances when I was a referee, so I was in [the Gorilla Position] a lot of the time. A few times he would say things or threaten other guys, like right there in Gorilla, and I would be standing there with my eyes wide open, not believing that he is saying this in front of all the producers and in the same room with Vince. I was kind of amazed by that.<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include how he &#8220;hated the referee thing&#8221;, how Paul Heyman influenced his career, his Raw general manager stint, meetings with Vince McMahon in the bathroom, and more.<\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3559334918\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pancakes and Powerslams Podcast with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,50,2,4],"tags":[928,307,101],"class_list":["post-8207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview_highlights","category-mustreadarticles","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-brad-maddox","tag-randy-orton","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
