Vince McMahon recently slammed the RAW writing team if the reports are to be believed. It was previously reported that WWE RAW will get a new TV-14 rating from now on.
Vince McMahon humiliated the RAW writing team
Ringside News reported that their tenured member of the writing team noted that Vince recently lambasted the RAW writing team, especially lead writers Jon Baeckstrom and Ryan Ward, in front of everyone on the company’s television mailing list. This was thanks to him hitting “reply all” which means everyone who gets show emails saw his reply.
They reported that “the RAW show was sent out by Jon Baeckstrom on Sunday night after some revisions by Baeckstrom and Ryan Ward.” This was sent out “to the entire RAW TV show distribution list.” That list includes a lot of people in the company, anyone who might need to know about an aspect of the show, not just the writers and producers.
This was the mass distribution of the show. Vince wrote a “reply all” note, which means everyone who gets the show, got Vince’s reply, about how uninspiring the show was, and how “we” (meaning the RAW team) need to do better. This was a total burial of Baeckstrom and Ward.
The outlet further reported that Bruce Prichard “did nothing to defend them.” Also, Ed Koskey “was not around Sunday night or Monday to fix things for Baeckstrom and Ward.” This is something he “usually does.” Baeckstrom and Ward were “left to take the blame and be the laughing stocks of the entire company.” It was not a good look, and one they certainly didn’t deserve.
