That happened Monday. Jericho and Benoit took the tag belts thanks to two willing veterans who helped move the business along. In wrestling, booking is politics as much as it is talent. About the only difference in the WWF is that a creative team develops the storylines with the agents. Then owner Vince McMahon has the final say.
Wrestlers are involved to a point.
But, for the most part, their job is to perform what the creative team writes. Credit goes to the WWF creative team Monday for putting the players in place. The praise goes to HHH, who scripted almost the entire match, for the way he carried it out. HHH and Austin came out first, which is unusual since they were the champs. The match was worked almost flawlessly until HHH fell awkwardly.
