Script for the WWE 2013 Royal Rumble

Dreadful spelling aside, I'm surprised (or rather, not) that it all has such a last minute feel about it. The long scripted segments are awfully formatted, and amazingly prescriptive.

It's also mildly amusing that the matches have no notes.

It is a format sheet rather than a script no?

Scroll down. Specific wording in the promos.

Anyone find it weird that Road Dog is the only agent who uses a stage/kayfabed name (well, not counting Rotunda who probably hasn't been referred to on-air as Mike Rotunda since the Varsity Club days) not listed as his stage name?

[SteveJRogers]

And yeah, the lack of notes, including who was due to win, for the matches is a bit odd. Perhaps paranoid of leaks?

You would think with all the writers they could find someone who could write a promo to sound like something remotely resembling how people actually talk.

Looks fake.

Love "Pan to reveal Bret Hart (in a ponytail)"

That's what I was thinking. The Bryan/Kane exchange looks like something a 15 year old e-fed writer would rustle up.

Looks fake.

Thanks for the insight. On what basis?

Well, people tend to take anything thrown on the Internet as real if it looks remotely so. I'll wait to see if Meltzer or anyone confirms it. If it is, the lack of match details is due to the fact the talent and agents work that out. Nothing to do with them being unimportant. Also, why would DVD extras be on the sheet/script?

[Loss]

Perhaps because they need to be filmed at a precise moment in time?

 

I'm not saying it's legit, but a script of RAW did leak a few years back that looked remarkably similar. However, it did contain announcer talking points for each match.

I was more talking about the insertion of a Punk promo from RAW.

It doesn't look like any script format I've ever seen and I have a hard time believing a production at the level of WWE would have such amateurish looking shooting scripts. The scripted promos part in particular looks fake to me. Nobody scripts TV like that.
