  1. Define "design."  If you're referring to what happens in every single match, I suppose it's a combination of the creative team and the wrestlers.  Most of what goes on in the ring is on-the-fly, and called during the match.  Aside from certain high spots and the finish, nothing else is talked over.  Both wrestlers just go out there with a general idea of what to do, and how much time they have to accomplish it.  Then, they go out there, talk during rest holds (like a headlock, or any ground submission where they're heads are near enough to one another) and call moves aloud if the crowd's loud enough for it not to be picked up by audio, or be heard by the audience.  Sometimes that doesn't pan out though.

    I'm sure commentary knows what's going to happen for the most part, or at least as far as outcome of the match goes.  I think there's some spontaneity in their reactions to certain things though, considering they don't know every hold that's going to happen.  It's also a fact that Vince McMahon is in their ear throughout the broadcast giving suggestions on what to say and what to plug.

    Referees know as much as the wrestlers.  If a referee is going to take a bump in a match, they'll inform him.  If a dusty finish is scheduled involving another ref, they'll know about it.  Ref's are really the unsung performers.  I've also heard that they have ear pieces linking up to Vince, but I've never seen one.  I've also heard that time keepers or announcers will signal if a match has gone over, which seems more rational.  When they're told this, they'll tell the wrestlers during a rest hold to wrap it up.


  2. The WWE uses what are called "road agents", retired wrestlers (such as Blackjack Lanza and Dean Malenko) to help the boys put together their matches.

    The commentators have a general idea of what is to happen, but they can't possibly memorize every bit of every match.  Jerry Lawler, though, is proud of the fact that he doesn't want to know what's going to happen until it happens, so he can be very spontaneous with his commentary.

    The referees do know how a match will progress.  They are part of the "act", and need to do their part to make the match flow smoothly, including "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" so they can be "knocked out" when the time is right.

    I'm okay with Punk as WHC, but I'm a big fan of Matt Hardy.  I would rather see Matt as WHC.

  3. The people who design the matches like how it should be going, how it should begin, how it should be ending are called bookers. They are the ones deciding who to win, what are going to happen in the match etc. Certain wrestlers do have this power in the wrestling promotion known as Creative Control, which is usually embedded in their contracts with the promotion. It is actually a power which enables them to have a certain control on the storyline as well as the match outcomes and progress, and they have the right to object certain bookers' decisions. For someone else, I think it would be the chairman of the promotion, which is for WWE's case is Vince McMahon, he is undoubtedly involved in the outcome of the match.

    Commentators are already informed on what is going to happen in a match, and their task is to monitor the crowd's reaction of the match. If the reaction of the fans is generally good, and the level of enthusiasm is high, then the commentator would give a two-finger signal to the referee so that the referee could tell the wrestlers to keep up with the heat of action for another few minutes while if the reaction is not good enough or if it's the appropriate time to end the match with regards to the audience's current enthusiasm level, the commentator(s) would show his pen indicating that the match should be wrapped up now.

    The referee's task in a match is thus to act as a messenger. Not only as a messenger between the commentators and the wrestlers as mentioned and explained above, the referees are also acting as a messenger between the two wrestlers in the ring as well as between the wrestlers and the bookers (for last minute instructions). Firstly, we could see that before any matches, the referee is performing a check on the wrestlers for foreign objects, while it seems to be a Standard Operating Procedure, it is actually time for the ref to give last minute instructions from the bookers on how the match should start and go. Secondly, if one wrestler wants to perform a certain move such as a suplex, the wrestler would tell the referee about it and the referee would then pass the message to the other wrestler so that he could prepare himself to receive (or rather to help perform) the suplex move.

    I think Matt Hardy wold not prefer to be in CM Punk's position now. CM Punk's position is of a champion which does not really generate a lot of heat from the fans. I think to be a stale champion is not good for a wrestler, especially for an established wrestler such as Matt Hardy, and no, I don't think I would prefer Matt to be in the same position as Punk. That's just my own opinion on this issue. Hope my answer helps. '

    Cheers.

  4. **SPOILERS**

    Wrestling is scripted.

    The wrestlers actually talk to each other during the match and tell them their next move.

    But no one can hear it because the crowd is so loud.

    The commentators read off of a script.

    And before the match, the referee talks to the superstars in the match.

    He tells them who will win.

    BQ:Not really.

  5. 1)The wwe board of directors and the creative team and the managers.

    2)Yes they are and so are the referees

    3)Will maybe but he won`t still be champ like cm punk but hardyz rock.
