During a recent interview with TV Insider WWE star John Morrison spoke about his on-screen pairing with former WWE champion The Miz, and what the creative process is like for the duo when working Monday Night Raw. Highlights from the interview are below.
Says sometimes the bits he and Miz do are scripted and sometimes it’s improv, but anything they do they get approved from Vince and the writers:
Sometimes it’s improv, but I would call it more collaborative. We’re not going to talk or say anything without producers, agents, writers, Vince [McMahon]. As soon as we get anything, we read it and talk to each other. We may say, “These lines are crap. Let’s fix it the best way we can and then go talk to them about our fixes.”
How they’ll make suggestions on how to make things better:
It’s not good to be thrown into an office and just say something is garbage. You may say, “You know what I like better is this other option.” We constantly do that. A writer or Vince may agree and say, “This is better. But you know what would be even better? This.” It then evolves…Also, something that is lost on so many people is it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and be affected by something. Just being cognizant about that, which I wasn’t during the first run. Doing improv and saying things. We are having fun, but we also work really hard on the promos. Everything you see on TV, it’s a process.
