Brian Myers on What It’s Like Working as a Producer in WWE
– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Impact Wrestling talent and former WWE Superstar Brian Myers discussed what it was like working as a producer behind the scenes in WWE. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Myers on working as a producer in WWE: “It’s an impossible question to answer, man, there’s just so much to that. I saw the genius of, ‘Wow, this is why [Vince] is where he’s at and why he’s done the things he’s done,’ and I also saw the other side where you’re like, ‘What?!’Â So it’s like: Is he crazy? [A] super genius? I don’t know. I saw it all in the months that I did it, so it’s hard to answer.”
On how being a producer is a thankless job: “I think you nailed it: Those guys work their asses off and it’s a very thankless job, because it’s more to it if you mess up than if you do something right. If it’s correct, you move along to the next thing, but if you mess up, you’re getting your ass chewed out. And the same goes for the writing team: I learned a whole new respect for those guys, because people just bury them, but they don’t have this epic power to really make or break a career like sometimes they get the rep for. They’re just trying to do their best, as well, and it’s an audience of one when Vince is in charge at the end of the day. If he’s not into something, it’s not going to happen.”
