Hollywood writers write the story from start to finish.
The wrestlers are there to be actors who perform the script.
At NXT they're trained to do that, which is why nobody on the roster who's schooled there knows what to do or how to proceed with a match if something goes wrong.
They're having to wait for the producer with the script in the production truck to tell the referee what to do, who then relays it to the wrestlers.
And because a lot of the wrestlers don't personally engage with the people who actually write the show, but engage with Paul and Stephanie as the representatives of those writers, most of the writers have no idea what the wrestlers are actually like.
It's not a TKO problem, this problem started when Vince first brought those writers in.
It's why Steve Austin took his bag and left several times and ultimately quit wrestling.
And do you know what else doesn't help?
Most of the writers don't watch the product. They don't like wrestling. The writers then didn't, and the writers they hire today think PG was the only good era in wrestling because it's the only one they ever saw.
