| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | It's official, the WWF has hit a new low. They're so desperate, that they've actually gone below Vince Russo's rehiring in a search for writers. Behold - the WWF has turned to none other than HotJobs.com for an available writer's position. Check out the job posting here. Anyone with the required experience, and a knowledge of the WWF storylines, can get this job. Anyone. Talk about injecting a lethal dose of poison into Vince's creation.

| TeenWeek what's a status? | posted on 02-04-2002 @ 8:04 AM | | |||
| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | They have done this before. What is wrong with it. They are looking for creative minds. There might be a lot of people out there who are looking for work as a writer who are very creative but just need a big break. Limp Bizkit is holding tryouts for a guitarist around the country, so what is wrong if the WWF interviews people for a writer job. quote: They are looking for people with experience. I am suyre they can find candidates better than Russo or Stephanie McMahon. You can bash the WWF for things, but this should not be one of them.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: 1) Limp Bizkit sucks anyway, so it's not that hard to scour the country for a guitarist that sucks. 2) They're also making it a RADIO CONTEST... which is more fucking insulting and demeaning than placing a want-ad could ever be. They know their next album will tank, so they pull this publicity stunt because they know people will buy the album out of curiosity over what the new guitarist will be like. ANYWAY... I'm sure they could look for people within the business. People that actually know how to make a wrestling show work. But instead, they only ask for two qualifications: -Experience writing, preferrably SOAP OPERA -Knowledge of WWF storylines Those are the two main things. The other qualifications really go with any job of that type, these are the two specific to this job. It doesn't say anything about knowing how to write a good sports-entertainment show. You just have to be able to write a soap opera, and know WWF storylines. Great. Some dumb soap opera writer who happens to watch the WWF is gonna come in and write some great amnesia angles, people banging other people while still more get jealous (mind you it's mostly guys here), and other ridiculous crap... Wait... I just figured it out... they want a slashfic writer... | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | This is not a bad idea from the WWF. They just want some new input and why not get it from the people. But it could bad too. Remember when Homer designed the car of his dreams when he met his long lost brother? I could end up like that.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Actually, TW's right, they've run this ad before. What's funny is that previously, they never even listed knowledge of WWF storylines or even wrestling in general as one of their requirements. I guess they finally decided to slip it in there somewhere after taking a lot of flack from sites like the Observer and Torch. Of course, as deep as their problems run, I can't help but think that hiring one or two new writers will make any sort of difference in the least considering the impending NWO Invasion and roster split, and the fact that the majority of talent McMahon wants to push is staler than month old bread, while newer wrestlers who have shown signs of getting over have been buried hard (see Tajiri, Hurricane, RVD, DDP).quote:See Mr. Brownstone's post in the music forum for some insight into this travesty. I wonder if Durst and McMahon might be on the same page... This message was edited by Sir Okonkwo on 2-4-02 @ 4:16 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I applied for that months ago, and even got a response back from them, but as is the case in life, no matter how good you are, it doesnt matter if you dont have these bogus qualifications. Who cares if you have Soap Opera experience. I have regular writing experience, and wrestling writing experience, but its not good enough. So screw them anyway.  | ||||
