Angry WWE worker

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

i gotta say this is a fake.

 

my bullshit-o-meter is going off the charts right now.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Yeah this is an April Fools joke.

Well you are on the TSM message board. Maybe if you go to a different webpage the meter will go down.

[Guest CanadianChick]

This is utter bs. C'mon, why would a wrestler send this to 1wrestling with risk that Vince could fin out. No one is that stupid.

Bob Holly has always struck me as being really dumb. He might.

[Guest JDMattitudeV1]

If it's not an April fools day joke (which it probably is) could it be one of the Dudley Boyz? They've been with the company for a while now, I'd say they would have sold some merchandise and were left of the card.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Dudz merchandise was sold there but they had a Heat run in. They also recently had singles mini-pushes that went nowhere, so I doubt they'd complain about their current spot in the ladder.

Buh Buh is injured. Thats why they weren't on.

Or simply don't read Rad's posts.

 

There is zero conclusive proof that it's real, so I have no reason to believe that it is.

Here's the second and third columns by "Willie the Worker":

 

Second Column

Welcome to my debut column here on the powerful site known as 1Wrestling.com. Dave is telling me that yesterday's column was a huge hit, so huge that he's asked that I'd set up an E-mail address where people could write me instead of you guys overflowing his E-mail box. I did just that and at the end of this column you can have my E-mail address to write me.

 

So, the big question is am I really a current WWE worker? Was it a big April Fools joke? Am I kayfabing Dave? Is Dave kayfabing you? All those question really don't matter now, do they? The fact is that "Willie The Worker" has gotten the attention of the Internet and I'd dare to say that I have the attention of the higher-ups at the WWE. Only I know who I am. Dave has a pretty good idea of who I am, but you will never get it out of him. So from this point forward I will be known simply as Willie The Worker, and I'm happy to debut my first column here on the site called "Bumpin' On The Road."

 

Rena Mero has signed with the WWE. Fart! Are you ribbin me? This "talent" is pushing 40 years old and if I recall correctly, she didn't leave the company last time on the best of terms. Is this the same Rena Mero that bashed the company publicly every chance she got? Is this the same lady that had heat with 90 percent of the locker room the last time she was there? What is Vince thinking? "Hell, we need something to turn these ratings around, let's give Rena a call and see if she wants to come back for another run. Hell, it worked in the Attitude era, let's try again." Is that what Vince was/is thinking? Oh my.

 

Rena Mero doesn't mean squat to this business. They just let go of a talent that I've been very high on for many years, that being Raven. If WWE would have given Raven one-tenth of a push they gave Rena last time she was there, he would have been a huge star right now instead of having to worry about picking up indy dates when TNA isn't running. Raven is a world class worker and I shook my head when I heard they let him go. How couldn't they see what a great talent he was? But yeah, let's bring Rena Mero in for another run.

 

Heck, while we are at it, let's bring back Chyna, Nicole Bass, and Tammy Sytch too. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. We can call them the Four Horsewomen and have them run wild in the WWE. They could be a group of four nasty heel ladies that are bitter towards the business and are out to destroy Torrie, Trish, and all the current WWE Divas. I hope you know I'm only kidding right now. Gosh, what a mistake bringing her back. Unless Vince pulled a big April Fools rib himself, I can't believe she's back.

 

On another note, the idea of bringing back "Rowdy" Roddy Piper might not be a bad idea. He has to stick to just doing Piper's Pits though once a week, that's it. I don't want to see him getting involved in storylines and working matches, unless it's a legends match against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 20. It'll be interesting to see a Piper's Pit every week on Smackdown. I hope they don't do it in the ring. They should build one of those old school sets they had for him like years ago. That would be pretty cool.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with an idea that I've had for a few months now. It's an idea that I think would bring a boat load of mainstream press for WWE. I would pass along the idea to the creative team, but nah. I'm going to debut the idea in tomorrow's "Bumpin' On The Road."

 

I hope you enjoyed today's column and if you haven't read yesterday's yet, what are you waiting for?

 

Willie The Worker--

 

 

Third Column:

 

Does WWE want to turn things around? Do they want to get their ratings up? Do they want that next "big boom" period? I think I have the answer to their problems.

 

Call me crazy, but bringing a ton of mainstream exposure to the WWE right now would be what they really need. It would be perfect. Bringing back Sable, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Goldberg, or even Hillbilly Jim isn't going to answer their problems. The business is on a down cycle. It has been for a while now.

 

Do you remember what made this business hot a few years ago? Sure, it was the Attitude era, but there was something that got that ball rolling. It was when WWE brought in Mike Tyson to do the gimmick at WrestleMania. Tyson got the company a boat load of mainstream exposure. Casual fans or people that weren't even wrestling fans turned in to see what Tyson was doing on WWE TV. Once they tuned in, WWE hooked them with the Austin/McMahon angle, DX, and all the other fresh and new things that they were doing back then.

 

The point is, WWE used Mike Tyson to get exposure, and then hooked them on a "new product" they were offering. They need to do that again. They need to switch their product around and offer something new. I'm not talking about having Hunter, Austin, Rock, and Goldberg on top either. They have to create new stars and create them fast. The fans want to see something different. Those guys no doubt deserve to be where they are at, but there comes a time when fans can only see Austin vs. Rock so many times, and need to see some fresh new stars pushed as the top dogs and fresh new matches headlining the TV shows.

 

I'm not saying they need Mike Tyson.

 

They need to do what I just said the paragraph before, but they need to bring in a big time celebrity to get them a ton of mainstream publicity. I can think of someone that would fit perfectly into one of their storylines, and this person would get more press for the WWE than any other single person out there today could that is available. This person is the hottest guy in the entertainment industry, and like Tyson, the reporters and TV shows flock to him.

 

I'm talking about Eminem.

 

If I were Vince, I'd spend whatever it would cost to bring Eminem to the WWE to do a month-angle with them. The first show he can be sitting ringside and the cameras can show him several times throughout the show. They could then have John Cena come out and cut a promo on Eminem. Cena can grab Eminem and throw him over the guardrail and beat the snot out of him.

 

The following few weeks they could have Eminem showing up at the shows looking for revenge on Cena. They could build it to a SummerSlam "Rap Showdown." Can you imagine how huge something like that would be? Firstly, it would turn John Cena into a huge superstar. Stations like MTV, VH1, and other "hip" TV shows would jump all over a story like that. WWE could take a full-page advertisement out in magazine's like People's Weekly and Rolling Stones. It would be huge.

 

Once you get the old fans, casual fans, and new fans watching Eminem on WWE TV, that's when you hook them with a new 2003 WWE product. That is where you introduce them to your new stars, John Cena, Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, Booker T, RVD, Christian, Team Angle, Rhyno, Hurricane, and the other young guys that they need to start giving big pushes to.

 

Vince McMahon signing a deal to bring in Eminem would be the start to turning around WWE business.

It's jeff - nobody else would put him in that sentance.

Even though I hate rap, I would actually watch this to see what would happen, Hell Cena would be mor credible in my eyes. Besides, if Vince wants new stars, then why doesent he raid NWA-TNA.

[TheFranchise 0]

Maybe he's just letting TNA get the stars over, so he can just nick the over-stars and not worry about pushing them.

[Guest My Eyebrow is on fire]

Willie = Dave.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

When the hell is Booker T a young guy? He's considering retirement in recent months.

[Guest Brian]

Not young guys, new stars. When people are on the verge of breaking out, you need to capitalize on it.

[Guest Renegade]

No way this is legit.

[Guest Coffey]

The fact that this dude wrote two more columns take away any credibility that I had given it.

[Guest The Hamburglar]

These colums are the biggest load of toss around. Its as if they were written by Internet Fan Stereotype, its merely shit culled from all the messageboards. Are the people who run the sites allowing these columns really that infantile?

[Guest tpww7]

3rd column seems like shit from Tommy Fierro.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

3rd column seems like shit from Tommy Fierro.

Maybe that means that..... DUN DUN DUNNNNN

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

wayy to smarkish..... only a smart mark would criticize atrain and nathan jones that much. if i HAD to guess, then possibly lance storm.... but i doubt anyone from the wwe honestly

[bobobrazil1984 0]

Dave Meltzer said on the WrestlingClassics message board that it was indeed legit... that means something to me, mainly because 1) I trust Meltzer a helluva lot more than anyone at 1w. That's enough for me.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

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?

In the words of scott hall, or paraphrasing slightly, we're wrestling fans just like all of you. Sides, if we can see it and we're on the outside looking in, its got to be even more obvious to the guys on the inside. I mean I'm sure RvD, in whatever state of mind he may be in, can hear that his pop is obviously louder then Albert's or HHH's is.

[Guest Choken One]

I think the answer lies in the Name...Willie the Worker...

 

Wouldn't WWE be looking at guys who tend to on Laptops alot? Which makes Storm an heavy favorite here...

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

I bet someone like Brian Solomon is writing these at the request of a WWE worker looking to have some fun at the expense of the internet. So much of it is just "smark speak" with words that most wrestlers probably never use.

 

on the powerful site known as 1Wrestling.com

 

This line alone makes me think the thing is now being written (or edited) by Dave. The 3rd article sounds like classic Tommy "WWE should have Hurricane fight Spider Man" Fierro. If these are the real feelings of a real worker, and that's the way he actualyl writes, I'd be pretty surprised. To whoever said Zenk: that's also a pretty good guess, but the lack of swearing, insults, and general immaturity makes me think it couldn't be straight out of his mouth.

[Guest Celtic Jobber]

I emailed Dave Meltzer asking about the true identity of "Willie", and here's what he had to say:

 

 

"From: [email protected]

 

I really don't want to answer it, because the name will end up coming out somehow real quick and I don't want to be part of getting the guy in trouble.

Dave "

 

That might be Dave's prepared email to anyone asking about Willie, but I'm not sure.

[Guest EN090]

The third one did seem a lot like Tommy "It would make WWE millions" Fierro to me as well.

 

I do think the idea is good though - get your shit together, create some new stars and interesting storylines and use Eminem (which he will no doubt get major media attention) in an angle with Cena as a catalyst to expose fans to the new WWE.

[Guest areacode212]

Here's what Meltzer wrote on WrestlingClassics:

 

This is going to surprise a few people but here goes.

 

I received the same thing, and like Bob Magee said, the person writing it said he was sending to me because he didn't like Scherer and Ryder (who he sent it to, and I'm figuring he wrote them saying he didn't like me--typical wrestling con).

 

The idea of printing something anonymous like that is mind boggling. I've gotten tons of stuff from guys in that company and they say who they are but know I won't print their names because that's the business. This came anonymously and I did later find out it was from a wrestler that I know a little (and really didn't like Scherer at least in the past) and...

 

It is legit.

 

If it is indeed legit, I'm leaning towards Al Snow.
