New Formerly Creative Podcast – Alex Greenfield
Alex Greenfield (@alexdgreenfield) was on the WWE creative team in 2005-2006 including a run as the lead writer of WWE Smackdown. He joins David Lagana to talk the creative process, what being married is like on the team, and the breaking point that caused him to walk away. If you loved the Boogeyman, Jillian’s mole, and ever wanted to know how the creative time passed the time, this is the episode for you. We did record this podcast prior to the news breaking of Edge’s retirement. We discuss the booking of the Edge/Del Rio at 45:00 in. Obviously this was before we knew what happened. Also scroll down to see pictures of the motel next to the WWE Tower.
