As a screenwriter, filmmaker, sports broadcaster, and a fan of wrestling for 40 years, this was absolutely excruciating to listen to. I would need my own podcast just to break down all of the things that was said that drives me nuts. Talking about 15-second holding shots on a TV show with a sports presentation, awful choice. Writing scripts for people that are athletes first, personalities second, and actors third is an awful choice. Not having a full grasp on the difference between writing for live performance and writing for a multi-take process is not confidence-inspiring either. I can't believe I made it to the end, I just couldn't stop the bleeding.
As a songwriter myself. This was the worst writer that I’ve ever watched. Why in the world would an actor write for a wrestler. This makes 0 common sense
Every time I hear someone give the "just work hard" or "be the hardest worker" advice I'm reminded of what my high school basketball coach taught us. He told us that every school on our schedule is going to be working hard so working harder isn't really going to cut it, but we can work smarter than them. Working hard and working smart are two very different things.
Mercedes can’t cut a promo. She can’t cut a promo when one is written for her, rehearses, and put on cue cards. So now they need to interview her writer to cut a promo for her. Can Jennifer Pepperman work at all in the ring? Might be better and less expensive than all that Moné going to Mercedes.
But what Pepperman will be, the one speaking clearly and fluent like in the first questions or the one with the you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know of the last question?? 😅
Basic storytelling is conflict, and that boils down to 4 types: Man vs man Man vs nature Man vs society Man vs himself You then figure out who is the protagonist (face) and the antagonist (heel). Our lizard brains are wired for this shit.
When she said “start at the end and write backwards” …I feel like the first thing they tell you about writing is that’s a terrible idea because you’re pulling stuff out of your ass to get to a story ending whether it fits or not
@@tHeCoNmAn2k Not sure I agree. Wrestling is littered with stories that started brilliantly but there was no end point in mind. The NWO is probably the most damaging case of this, but the AEW Devil is evidence that it still exists today. It's important to be adaptable if the crowd gets behind someone else, but starting a long-term story without knowing the intended end is rarely a good idea.
Why is Mercedes always scheming and dragging her co-workers into her self-centered ambitions? Married a WWE costume designer while working there, convinced her tag team partner to leave WWE (which derailed Naomi's career), and has now brought this Pepperman to AEW to write for her.
They shouldnt need writers period. Do you see baseball players hiring writers? Or football players? Wrestling doesn't need writers it needs wrestling.😊
@@robbybaby55 I've never seen any baseball players or basket ball player making heelish or babyface promos and nor so they have any love triangle Iike Liv and Dom . Infact the MMA fighters are inspired by wrestling Promos, gimmicks and entrances. Wrestling is all about storylines.

I’ll just say this: listening to your audience is important but, when your audience is in an empty arena, it’s clear that you’re not listening. She needs to be involved more with the serious stories like Kane vs. Undertaker at WM XIV, Kane vs. Snitsky, Guerroro vs. Mysterio in 2005, and Angle vs. Triple H in 2000. But, cutting in-ring promos that should be produced by someone with wrestling experience. At the end of the day, she’s saying a bunch of words without saying anything.
The problem boils down to this: We are watching "Athletic Entertainers" NOT "Wrestlers". This is especially true in AEW. Rick Flair did not have or EVER need a personal "writer'.
Hearing her take credit for angles that's already been in wrestling for decades is like listening to Elizabeth Banks brag about her directorial work in The Godfather.
I love it when people who were only around in WWE for the era of Vince at his worst talk about the company as if it's still like that, when it very clearly isn't
Funny enough, when my buddies and I would talk about watching wrestling with our significant others, we would call it "watching our stories." Wrestling is soap operas with more punching and less murder.

Mercedes has her own personal writer and her shit's been trash. If I had a personal writer and the returns haven't been good, I'd fire them myself tbh.
Lol! She's so cute thinking AEW has story telling 😂 They have clips up from their shows and its guys doing 5 moves in 10 secs for a 2 count to go to doing another 10 moves for a no sell e.g: A Brian Cage match where he's trying to get all his stuff in
Sounds like just wrestling clips lol😂😅 not story telling. You can watch a 30 second clip from WWE showing the wrestler interactions and commentary explaining the situation and you get what's going on. You don't get much of that from AEWs UA-cam channel.
@@TheMattypoo21 Maybe that was a poor example but if you watch their show it's almost the same. Their commentary team is either Excalibur trying to call every move he knows or Schiavone saying what a great time he's having while Taz in trying to do the serious work ends up yelling at one of the revious 2 and them all having a laugh at it.
Yeah, this lady rambles on and on and doesn't say anything. Its interesting how she talks as if she has been apart of from groundbreaking stuff. Not realizing or wanting to admit that this stuff has been done repeatedly for years and years. My favorite was when she said that u can use the camera to tell a story. That's like saying u can use a pen to write things down. 😅😅
This woman knows enough to convince people that don’t know anything that she knows something and that’s all. I’ve heard students speak more knowledgeably on tv production, directing and writing, I swear to god. I hope this woman behind closed doors counts her blessings that she’s getting a free ride in life right now.
A horse is a horse Of course of course And no one can Talk to a horse of course Unless of course the horse Of course is the famous AUBREY ED HELLLOO TONY
Hate Vince and piss on his grave all you want. One thing no one ever denied is the fact that he put people in their place. They all had to work overtime to maneuver the old man into doing their ideas. He filtered everything involving Jericho and didn't just let him do everything he wanted. He put Sasha in her place and took her back every time she walked out because it showed the control he had. Same reason why he always took back every time who talked so much shit about him. He had the control because they crawled back to him after all the shit they said
It’s not about putting people in their place or anything like that imo, it’s about having a system in place that allows people who know what they’re doing to get into these positions in the first place. That’s not possible in AEW, and it wasn’t possible when Vince was in charge of hiring writers either. The person hiring has to somehow know what they’re doing and who they’re hiring. I don’t know if there’s a way to do that, but AEW or Vince can’t do it.
The fact she recognizes there should be a heel and a face makes her automatically smarter than most of aews locker room
And she isn't wrong about the audience being a character insofar as the wrestlers interact with and use the audience to build their character. I don't watch AEW so I have no idea what her work looks like, but not everything she said was inherently wrong.

From the legless guy and Sunny Kiss to Punk and Cody Rhodes to Pockets to Jericho to Cuacumonga Kids and Kennnnny to the bank addicted drug robber and Moxley and the Hardys and plenty more.
They're all be there. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Rise and fall of AEW
Its all CM Punks fault
Mercedes has her own personal writer and her shit's been trash. If I had a personal writer and the returns haven't been good, I'd fire them myself tbh.
I'll go to my grave remembering the big Dolph tightening in shot.
Lol! She's so cute thinking AEW has story telling 😂
They have clips up from their shows and its guys doing 5 moves in 10 secs for a 2 count to go to doing another 10 moves for a no sell e.g: A Brian Cage match where he's trying to get all his stuff in
Sounds like just wrestling clips lol😂😅 not story telling. You can watch a 30 second clip from WWE showing the wrestler interactions and commentary explaining the situation and you get what's going on. You don't get much of that from AEWs UA-cam channel.
@@TheMattypoo21 Maybe that was a poor example but if you watch their show it's almost the same.
Their commentary team is either Excalibur trying to call every move he knows or Schiavone saying what a great time he's having while Taz in trying to do the serious work ends up yelling at one of the revious 2 and them all having a laugh at it.
"Post it on Twitter" killed me
Yeah, this lady rambles on and on and doesn't say anything. Its interesting how she talks as if she has been apart of from groundbreaking stuff. Not realizing or wanting to admit that this stuff has been done repeatedly for years and years. My favorite was when she said that u can use the camera to tell a story. That's like saying u can use a pen to write things down. 😅😅
You know when Jim stutters at the start of a clip its about to be a banger lmao
Something tells me that Jim doesn't like AEW .🤣🤣🤣 They do suck .
I heard the only way they can get Aubrey Edward's to talk is by putting peanut butter on the roof of her mouth.
I'm disappointed her name isn't Alexandra Pepperday.
This woman knows enough to convince people that don’t know anything that she knows something and that’s all. I’ve heard students speak more knowledgeably on tv production, directing and writing, I swear to god. I hope this woman behind closed doors counts her blessings that she’s getting a free ride in life right now.
Jim and Brian should react to what Madusa said about visiting AEW training day. Very revealing but not surprising.
Is there a video

HELLLOO TONY
this was hard to get through
That interview gave me tuberculosis
People in wrestling seem to really like overthinking wrestling.
Hate Vince and piss on his grave all you want. One thing no one ever denied is the fact that he put people in their place. They all had to work overtime to maneuver the old man into doing their ideas.
He filtered everything involving Jericho and didn't just let him do everything he wanted. He put Sasha in her place and took her back every time she walked out because it showed the control he had. Same reason why he always took back every time who talked so much shit about him. He had the control because they crawled back to him after all the shit they said
He ruled that place with a iron fist but he had his reasons and were all seeing it now in AEW with Mox Moan Miro to name a few
In the land of fruits and nuts, he was the head cashew
This doesnt work for me, brother
It’s not about putting people in their place or anything like that imo, it’s about having a system in place that allows people who know what they’re doing to get into these positions in the first place. That’s not possible in AEW, and it wasn’t possible when Vince was in charge of hiring writers either. The person hiring has to somehow know what they’re doing and who they’re hiring. I don’t know if there’s a way to do that, but AEW or Vince can’t do it.
@@HkFinn83 Very well put
When Jims jokes fall flat, Brian just sits there in silence and let him drown 😂
Why are you guys listening to the audio of this woman? This was so pointless.
