For several years now scripted promos have been a thing. The wrestlers used to be handed a script out of which they had to deliver the promo, and this was the brainchild of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. Throughout his stay in WWE for the past few decades, Mr. McMahon held a strong authority in the company. However, such is not the case anymore.

Vince McMahon retired from his position last month after hush money allegations and Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Nick Khan took over. Since Triple H took the creative over, it has only received praise. Long ago, unscripted promos were a thing but one until one day, when a WWE Hall of Famer went off-script. This incident led to Vince McMahon banning unscripted promos.

While speaking on AdFreeShows, former WWE writer Brian Gerwitz revealed that it was Ric Flair who once went off-script during a show at Madison Square Garden. This angered Vince McMahon to the core and led to him banning unscripted promos.

Gerwitz said, “There might have been an incident in Madison Square Garden once when Ric Flair went off script that got Vince a little heated about what he had said and said, ‘Dammit, from then on, I need to know what every single talent is going to be saying going out there.”
