Part two of his "Top 10 Easiest Talents to Produce" list can be viewed here.
"Producing talent is perhaps THE most important element of any wrestling show. Yeah—the writing is crucial—but if the talent doesn’t pull it off in a convincing matter—then it wouldn’t matter if Shakespeare himself was writing their verbiage. And without question, it is the producing that gets the most trying and taxing at times—even more so than the actual writing of the show. You see, whether you believe it, or not—the talent doesn’t always cooperate."
"In many cases, this is due to the talent thinking that they know more than you—the writer–and in some instances—they do. Just look at the facts—on any given wrestling show the writer/producer may have to worry about the verbiage and direction of up to–and over–25 performers, while the individual wrestler only has to be concerned with one–himself, or herself. So, at times, this will lead to a “character” knowing his “character” better than the writer does, however those times are few and far between."
"You see many performers are congested with a disease I like to call—“not being able to see the forest through the trees.” This deadly disease means that they are only seeing what’s immediately in front of them in the here and now; or tonight’s show. They’re failing to see the “big picture”, or the entire “vision”, so they only concern themselves, or in some cases—nit-pick, with what they are doing that night when in reality, that night is a very small piece of the puzzle."
