Indi Hartwell on creative freedom in wrestling: “At WWE things are very micromanaged”
While speaking to Dominic DeAngelo, TNA Wrestling star Indi Hartwell commented on creative freedom in TNA compared to WWE…
“I’d obviously heard how much creative freedom you have at TNA, but it’s something that I’m still trying to get used to. Like you mentioned, at WWE things are very micromanaged, especially at NXT because at NXT you’re kind of learning the ropes. So every step is intentional. Everything is micromanaged.
It’s something that I’m not really used to. I feel like that kind of made my creativity go away, so I’m still trying to find it. It’s only been a year. You could look at a year and think that’s a long time, but in reality, I’ve been wrestling for 10 years.
So the past year at TNA is only 10% of my career. There’s still more to come, still more to learn, and more to grow.”
