Spin: What If Your Favorite Promo Had A Ghostwriter

[jackswstd]

With everything about Drake having ghostwriters, how would you feel finding out Flair, Heyman, Dusty etc... had their best promos written for them? Not accusing any of them but for fukkery's sake let's discuss it.

I'd be if I found out Dusty's Hard Time promo was ghost written.

Depends on how you perform it..you can tell Dusty went off the top with Hard Times or Austin 3:16..you can tell that Hogan didn't have to kill himself to make that Bash at the Beach promo sound so legendary and impactful as he laid his reasons down..the Flair "This is the greatest moment of my life" promo after Rumble 92...the Rock's Toronto ETHER...these are special performers and can't no one do their promos like they do it.

Well, it could depreciate the promos a little, but you still need the right wrestler, with charisma and the it factor to deliver it right.

No ghost writer ever could help Lex Luger or Sid Vicious.

You mean like Brian Gerwitz writing Dwayne's promos? :michaelj:

I remember Ed Ferrara telling him to use Befuddled in his promo on Beyond The Mat, but collaborating and ghostwriting are two different things.

Did he?

I remember whenever the whole fiasco with Rock writing his lines on his wrist against Cena happened, Kevin Kelly mentioned how Gerwitz would hold up cue cards behind the camera for him backstage during the Attitude era

It wouldn't be that big of a deal to me.

Self-written promos are cool because they allow the guy to put more passion into the words, but at the end of the day all that matters is successfully telling a story. If Paul Heyman said that he wrote every one of Raven's promos in ECW it wouldn't make me look at Raven any differently because he did a hell of a job bringing that character to life.

I honestly wouldn't care, as long as you can say the lines right and sell the storyline I truly wouldn't care. Lets be honest some wrestlers today are so horrible on the mic that they need ghostwriters...

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Most of the greats had people they collaborated with

 

[Da King]

We already know Rock had all his shyt pre written

 

[Capitol]

wrestlers are essentially actors so no i wouldnt give a shyt

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I'd be really bothered if savage had ghostwriters for the mania v buildup
