Lilian Garcia recently caught up with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T to discuss a number of issues, including how he wishes that today's WWE Superstars could go back to writing their own promos. In other words, he wants to see the company scrap the promos which are written by WWE's Creative team.
"It's a different world now as far as the scripted promos," he said, reflecting on how things have changed. "I think it takes away a lot of the originality of the guy actually being able to put himself against the wall and have to go out there and get over, the guy to have to think about it, opposed to when you just have someone writing it for you."
"You're not going to take the time like I did to go and look in the mirror and pretend I'm cutting a promo on myself. You're not going to do that," Booker T continued. "You're not going to go and look in the mirror and just try to make your top lip move, to see how angry you can make yourself look. It's just small, little bitty things. You're not going to take the time to actually try to hone your craft, because you got someone handing it to you unless you're that driven."
It's a valid and interesting point, and one that is echoed by the vast majority of wrestling fans out there today. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if things are going to change that much, but there have been rumblings about Paul Heyman giving Superstars on
RAW more freedom.
