WWE And Second Screen Storytelling

Sam Ford at Fast Company:

But, on the other hand, let’s give WWE credit for having the mechanism in place not only to catch fans’ reaction to their mistake in real-time but to actually correct course of a scripted show during the course of the very same episode. Then, after the episode, they posted a WWE.com exclusive video where Laurianitis defended himself to fans.

I love Ford’s recurring column at Fast Company, because he often brings to light details about WWE we so often forget. Wrestling fans complain endlessly about how slow WWE is to get to certain things, but often forget how incredibly fast they can be if they want to.
