10 Times A Wrestler Exercised Creative Control

[@whitemamba24xe98]

“That’s not gonna work for me brother” -Hulk Hogan before he uses his creative control

[@smoothinvestigator]

Hogan used creative control more than the leg drop.

[@azrael_ao1]

Knowing that Shawn Michaels used his creative control to switch his series with Vader to one SummerSlam match in which he won, kind of makes Hulk Hogan's actions against him in the summer of 2005 seem like karma rather than Hulk Hogan being Hulk Hogan 🤣

[@darkcloud4905]

Maybe both? Lol

[@templeos2954]

Everyone sides with Vader, but forgets that he was needlessly stiff and apparently he never washed his ring gear so it stank

[@davidyoung6649]

I fully agree. Hogan did to Shawn, what HBK did to Vader. I couldn't care less if Vader was stiff or stinky. The man deserved the WWF championship.

Pachita can't do a single list without bashing Hogan one way or another.

[@zachwhitlow4]

I don't think any of these qualify as creative control as much creative influence. Nash wasn't on the booking committee at the time so he didn't book himself breaking the streak. And Lesnar still went over Dean, he just didn't want to do any ridiculous stunts that would damage his credibility. The other 2 was the company making the decision, not the 2 individuals involved

That wasn’t Shawn’s call. That was Vince. He wanted to keep Shawn a Heel. Seeing as though Survivor Series was coming. He had already signed Bret to the 20 year deal. But couldn’t keep his end. So he was going to put the world title on Shawn because Bret was leaving.

[@jmp591]

Last time Vader was takin serious as a main eventer in WWE, he went on to win the triple crown in AJPW. Also not to nitpick but there is a differance between creative control in a contract and using pull u got from being a top guy or world champ to get your way. Both usually have the same conclusion but when its not written into a contract it really just comes down to the owner or booker not being willing to put down his foot and tell them to go out and do what there told. Ex. Shawn Michaels never had creative control in his contract. Hulk Hogan did in WCW but as far as i know didnt in WWE

Bret's gone on record many times to say it didn't matter to him if he lost in Canada. It mattered to him that he lost to Shawn Michaels in Canada (and in general), because of one specific conversation they had. Bret said to Shawn that no matter their personal beef, in the ring Shawn would be safe with him, Bret wouldn't take liberties and he would be happy to put him over. Shawn responded by saying "Thank you for the sentiment, but I will never do the same for you." If not for that conversation, Bret would have dropped the belt to Michaels in Montreal without batting an eye and even after that conversation he would have dropped the belt to anyone else at that event.
