WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently took to an episode of his “My World with Jeff Jarrett,” where he discussed the differences between WCW's creative process and the WWE's creative process.
Jeff Jarrett said:
“I knew day one, literally day one, this is a different organization than what I just came from.” “The buck stopped with Eric [Bischoff], Hulk was a part of the creative, it was a corporate environment from the very beginning. Love him, hate him, not like him, Vince [McMahon] even though [WWE] is a publicly traded company, it’s his call on every decision. I never got that feeling ever when I worked for [WCW], going back to 1996.”
Jeff Jarrett then talked about how in WCW everything was negotiable, but in WWE, the producer goes to the head writer and then to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, which means that if you work for the WWE it’s non-negotiable for most part.
Jeff Jarrett said:
“Negotiating a simple finish, not every night, but for the most part everything was negotiable.” “If you work for WWF, most of the time it’s non-negotiable. The producer is going to go to the head writer and then to Vince. That’s really the only way it’s going to get changed, when Vince sends that show out or that finish out, that’s what you expect to get. At WCW, for the most part, everything was negotiable.”
