Vince McMahon has the last say in everything that goes on in WWE.
Dave Meltzer explained on Wrestling Observer Radio how WWE writers worked late into the night in order to decide the card for Fastlane.
Meltzer explained this is nothing new in WWE since everything works according to Vince McMahon’s schedule.
“It’s been bad because on the mid-week day when they have the big meeting to do all that stuff it’s just like Vince will put ’em off and put ’em off and like they don’t even start the meeting sometimes until ten at night even if it was supposed to start at five or six.”
“They just sit there and wait for Vince to finish whatever stuff he’s doing. They start at ten and it’s been real regular that it ends after three and for most people it’s probably a negative doing all of that work. Because number one you just wanna get it over with. The other one is you’re so freakin’ tired that you’re not at your best.”
“So that’s probably of the reasons RAW is bad this is probably a very small reason, but when you’re adding up the reasons it’s another reason. It’s a reason why a lot of people have, you know fallen by the wayside on the creative end. Because a normal person — eh — you’re supposed to start at six and you have to wait another four hours and you’re out there until 3:30 AM… or 3:05 AM depending on the week — there have been 3:30 weeks. It’s like it’s a pretty tough job in that sense.”
“It’s a tough job to have while at the same time leading a normal life.”
If Vince doesn’t like something, he will have it changed, regardless of how many hours the writers put into it.
