Procrastinator posted:lmao your work week is definitely not 40 hours Oh, it is definitely not. Bischoff even said people were upset with him for not being available 24/7 or not taking calls outside of a like 9-5 schedule when he was around most recently. And sure, it's Bischoff saying that, but like, that'd be a dumb thing to lie about and it's something completely believable anyway.

dsriggs posted:Somebody on Reddit posted a temp writing contract that the WWE offered him (which he had FRAMED, because these loving people... This reminds me of a time when I was much younger and applied to be a WWF writer. I thought I had some skills and would be useful. I had trained as a wrestler, had experience in tv, and was a writer. They actually responded and asked me for some storyline write-ups. I sent them and then got a form letter from Stephanie (no way it actually came from her, obviously) saying they weren't interested. I did NOT frame the letter. It might be somewhere or maybe I threw it away. But I was heartbroken at the time but now I think I dodged a serious bullet.

JOHN CENA posted:they fired patrice o'neal because he took a tuesday off to take a standup gig. then when he took the news well they tried to fire him two more times after that. you're expected to live breath and sleep wwe as a writer for them. It's funny that Freddie Prinze Jr. stayed on for so long. IIRC it was because he was tall and a bully. I mean, I know his acting career wasn't working, but I wouldn't leave Sarah Michelle Geller 5 days a week to be a lovely writer on a lovely tv show. I think there are a ton of people, myself included, who would live breath and sleep WWE if your contribution as a writer mattered. But it doesn't. So why put yourself through that?

I don’t think anyone’s suggesting that there isn’t long-term storytelling, it’s just that the stories suck.

Drake Maverick spoke to TalkSPORT about his firing becoming a storylineDrake Maverick posted:The most nervous I was out of all of the matches was the Jake Atlas match because it was the first one. I was going into work thinking ‘am I gonna get treated differently?, am I gonna have to talk to Hunter and have these weird talks where we sit down and it’s like a counseling session?’"

I'd love a Rock political career it'd be great watching everyone read the obviously ghostwritten autobiography about how he choked and beat his girlfriend told in a joking way and how he grabbed her tongue because she disrespected his dad and poo poo.
