Select Answers: Producers, Script Writers, Rousey
Added 2025-01-25 17:00:06 +0000 UTCWelcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.
What attributes do you think make former wrestlers turn into great producers? I’ve only been a subscriber for year so apologies if this has been asked but after the Penta/Gable match I was thinking, when Gables career is over I imagine he would be a great producer.
A number of things. Longtime wrestlers have a knack for understanding crowds, locations, movements, footwork, when and where things work because of their experience. Also the fact that they've worked with and learned from other great producers. Ultimately, experience in that spot is much more important than in a writing or business role.
I know WWE has hired script writers from the tv/movie industry for years to work in creative. Has AEW hired any script writers like that, or is their creative made up of all former wrestlers/people from the wrestling business? Thanks.
Sort of, if Jen Pepperman counts. She came from WWE, but she won Daytime Emmys for her work on soap operas. RJ City worked in the television industry as well.
SRS, with Ronda Rousey just having her 2nd child (congrats to Ronda and Travis BTW), do you think we ever see her back in a WWE or a wrestling ring?
Ultimately Ronda Rousey is going to do what she wants. I don't expect to ever see her come back for an extended run. I could absolutely see her doing Bloodsport, the Royal Rumble, working against or with Marina Shafir.
