Guest Mr.Negativity Report post Posted April 2, 2003 Note: The following column was sent to the site by someone who told us that he is a very frustrated, current WWE wrestler. He said that he did not want to reveal his name to us, for obvious reasons. I made the decision to run the column because the things said in this column completely echo things that many WWE wrestlers have told me in the last week or two. So, even if this isn't a current WWE wrestler (and I am not saying it is or isn't since I have no way to corroborate it), I can tell you that there are a number of current WWE wrestlers who feel the same way as the writer of this column does. So, whoever Willie is, I can tell you that what he writes in this column definitely reflects the feelings of many WWE wrestlers right now. --- Dave Scherer Never did I think I'd sit down and pen a column for 1Wrestling about my frustrations and concerns regarding the current WWE product. However, it's not like I have an open forum to do so. I can't exactly can go and post a column on their website talking about all the things they are doing wrong right now. There have been several times when I have wanted to contact Dave Scherer and ask him to let me write an anonymous column in the past, but I never got the balls to do it. But after sitting in the locker room this past Sunday at WrestleMania watching it on the monitors, when I should have been somehow factored into the event, watching my peers perform in front of such an amazing live crowd; I've decided it's time that I spoke my mind. Now I'm not going to say who I am, I mean, that would be career suicide. I'll just pen this column as "Willie The Worker." So, let me get this straight. I'm good enough to be on the road with WWE for almost 300 days a year, busting my ass and being away from my family, but I'm not good enough to be a part of their biggest show of the year? They couldn't even throw me a backstage interview or a run-in? Get real. I've been with that company for many years now and I'd like to think that I'm of at least some value to the company. Well, at least I thought I was. However, given the fact that they found spots for Nathan Jones, Albert and the Miller Lite Cat Fight Girls but not myself or many other deserving wrestlers boggles my mind. Now I have nothing against Albert. Matt is a real nice guy and has always been cool with me. But come on already. How many times are they going to try with this guy? They have been trying to push him down the throats of our fans for years now and he's just not connecting with the crowd. But he continues to get chance after chance because he's a huge guy and Vince is a mark for big guys. I dare to say that they probably sold more merchandise of me at WrestleMania on Sunday than Albert has even drawn for the company in all the years he's been there. Don't even get me started on Nathan Jones. The guy is a putz. He's the joke of the locker room. Well, maybe the joke is on myself and all the other guys that have busted our asses for the company throughout the years because he had a WrestleMania spot and we didn't. This is what really makes me hot. What dues has this guy ever paid? All he's done since being here has been to hurt guys in dark matches and mess up moves. But yeah, let's give him one of the WrestleMania paydays that are available when it could have gone to at least thirty other more deserving guys that I can think of off the top of my head, myself very much included. They didn't have enough time on the PPV for Kane, who's been with the company for many years, and RVD, who's without a doubt one of the most over performers we have. But yeah, let's give the Miller Lite Cat Fight Girls ten minutes to go out there and hit each other with the worst pillow shots I've ever seen in my entire life. The Miller Lite girls made the show and Kane and RVD didn't? Yeah, that makes a boat load of sense. What's my point of this column? Heck, I don't even have a point. I'm just so frustrated and hot right now. I guess I just wanted to let the readers know how it feels to be someone that has busted their ass for WWE for many years and then is not even factored into their biggest show of the year. I felt like a jabronie sitting backstage watching all the boys work one of the biggest shows we ever had, knowing that I should have been out there contributing to the great show they had. Instead, guys like Albert and Nathan Jones were out there instead, stinking the building up. Those guys couldn't lace up my boots. Yup, that's Vince for ya. Sincerely, "Willie The Worker" credit: 1wrestling _____________________ Say this is legit, who do think it could be? If it really is a WWE wrestler or not, I totally agree.

Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted April 2, 2003 Bullshit, probably. ..or Bob Holly, which would ammount to the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted April 2, 2003 I doubt it's legit but if it were my guess would be: RVD Kane Hurricane Lance Storm either Dudley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted April 2, 2003 Perhaps it's someone like Christian who was looking to break out early last year but has completely been buried in the past several months. I don't know how legit it is though, it really sounds a little too "smarkish." Anyone else think that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted April 2, 2003 I would guess Jeff Hardy. He's small, has been around forever, sells merchandise, and wasn't at Wrestlemania. He fits the criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr.Negativity Report post Posted April 2, 2003 I would guess Jeff Hardy. He's small, has been around forever, sells merchandise, and wasn't at Wrestlemania. He fits the criteria. I could also see him being angry since his brother made it on the card and I could see him believing that he is the more popular + gifted of the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheBostonStrangler Report post Posted April 2, 2003 It's someone who's been there for a while (four years or more, I'd guess), who's on the smaller side, has merchandise that's sold at some point in his career, and didn't appear at Wrestlemania. Christian seems to make a lot of sense, since he fits all four criteria there. Guys like Storm and Hurricane and Van Dam haven't been around long enough, guys like Kane are too big, and most other guys who didn't appear on the PPV wouldn't have sold merchandise. Jeff Hardy is a possibility, but I don't see him writing a lot of the stuff in this article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest HardcoreMF'nHolly Report post Posted April 2, 2003 This would fit Jeff Hardy perfectly if it is a legitimate letter. It echoes what he has said in a recent interview I heard online. The link was on 1wrestling before Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted April 2, 2003 What does Jeff have to be upset about? He's lost his passion for the biz but is still praised by Vince at just about every turn, so he really doesn't have much to bitch about. I can't seem him putting together a coherant piece of writing together, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 RVD couldn't write that if he was stoned as hell. A: I beleive it's a joke. However...if I am to assume it's real then it has to be Jeff Hardy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted April 2, 2003 That letter is complete and utter bullshit. Sounds like one of us. The part about Vince is a mark for big guys and such sounds like the complaints from a smark and not that of a disgruntled worker. It's a fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted April 2, 2003 April Fools Day anyone? I mean, not that I totally disagree with whatever this person is trying to say, but it was written as if someone from this board wrote it. "Vince is a "mark" for the big guys." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 2, 2003 FYI: The only merchandise they were selling at WM that didn't have a wrestler on Heat or the WM program were Scott Steiner and Jeff Hardy.
