WWE not a girl's best friend
Professional wrestling has three basic tenants that one must accept before attempting to enjoy a live event.

2. There will be a hard sell for merchandise, from T-shirts to hats to videos to replica championship belts. And it ain't going to be cheap.
3. The treatment of women will straddle the line between patronizing and misogynistic...More?

Ken Kennedy Comments on the WWE Writers
The writers are always accessible to us. I can call them at any time. I try not to call them after certain hours of the night because they have lives just like anybody else. But no, I have access not only to the writing team, but Vince, Stephanie, Hunter, anybody. If you have an idea, you're always welcome to pitch your idea, or present them. It's just a lot of times, in our business, maybe because of there's a lot of Internet writing and stuff like there where people try to find out the scoop ahead of time, so a lot of stuff is kept secret squirrel. A lot of times, you'll present an idea, and it just doesn't fit with what their long-term plans are. A lot of times, we don't find out what's going on until the day of, and nine times out of ten, 99 times out of 100, you'll find out what you're doing the day of. So it's really hard to come up with something long-term. On two separate occasions, I've come up with storylines which the trigger was going to get pulled on, it was just, for whatever reason, injuries, or whatever -- and not necessarily about me, either, other people that were involved had injuries, and things just fell by the wayside, and I ended up going in a different direction.
