All sounds pretty believable, but it also all sounds pretty easily faked. I can't believe The Road Dogg was so unfairly maligned.

VJeff posted:All sounds pretty believable, but it also all sounds pretty easily faked. Same. Just one thing on modern Creative writers they tend to write in the "wouldn't it be great if" mode rather than asking would it generate business or draw money and their identification of talent/star is usually bizarre. I've never been impressed by anyone in the last 15 years when they gave interviews after their release. But given the current state of play, I'd settle for a story any story rather than endless erratic reboots and zero continuity we currently get.

the only thing that seems off is the FS1 thing because why would it either be in the writers contract or why would the writers know details about the wwe/fox contract that doesn’t directly involve them

Very much looking forward to the crowd chanting "Yow Wee Wow Wee *clap clap clapclapclap*" during his matches Since we're going dark circus and Harper requested his release, will he be partnered with Bray again and dress in drag to be the bearded lady? e: The mask isn't the dumbest thing I guess, hell WWE did a whole thing where the McMahons were constantly trying to hide Kane's mask from him and it was... okish?

At this point I kinda have to wonder if being on WWE creative is a nightmare tier level job. I mean you could be an incredibly skilled storyteller but it doesn't matter because Vince woke up that day and put his right sock on first, so he's throwing everything out.

Isn't it well-known Road Dogg resigned? You don't resign despite being one man's death away from being the next Kevin Dunn unless you're really, really miserable. "But he would defend WWE on Twitter" you may say. Pretty much everyone who left TNA and shat on it during the complete purge was defensive of it while they were working there.

For what its worth, some of those comments may have been made while he was under contract. Not quite sure when he signed exactly other than the year (2013), but some of his posts were from that same year.

I mean you could be an incredibly skilled storyteller but it doesn't matter because Vince woke up that day and put his right sock on first, so he's throwing everything out. Imagine having your every idea shouted down, hours of work and research being thrown out minutes before the show started, and having to constantly change everything you write. Unless it pays a hell of a lot, I can't imagine anyone being really motivated there, which probably doesn't help things at all. It also probably drives you insane when your storylines are limited to "two guys have a contract signing and don't like each other" to "two girls don't like each other because one is prettier than the other one" with the ever popular "This guy is a loser geek and Baron Corbin should beat him up" thrown in there.

What's the average employment for WWE writers, like 3 months? I feel like time and time again we hear about writers that came in starry-eyed and left shortly after.

Raskolnikov38 posted:god help us if road dogg ends up in aew Eh, they wouldn’t be putting him in creative, he’d probably do what Billy’s doing and be brought on as an agent and just be coaching the indie kids on how to work for TV since like 90% of their talent at this point have barely if ever done it before. He’d probably be a promo coach above all else. Between him, Billy Gunn, and Jerry Lynn, I’d definitely go to Road Dogg first if I needed help nailing a promo.
