Which immediately places you above the writing team

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

See, anyone who actually fits these qualifications has either sworn the business off or is on WWE's shit list or doesn't know shit about wrestling. Argh.

· Strong team player

I guess this is their way of phrasing "No independant thoughts."

Isn't thiat why Dreamer got kicked off the writing team. He actually knew what was going on and realized it made no sense.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

Well....all you journalist majors/grads should give this a shot.

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

Tommy Dreamer was past his prime, so WWE wanted nothing to do with him I saw it on 411mania which is a mainstream site and tells me what to believe.

 

</Prime>

[Guest JHawk]

I'll give it a shot, but if I get the job I'll probably get fired in about a week.

 

Of course, I don't have 1-3 years of sports play-by-play experience. But Steve McMichael DID. Think about it.

[Guest edotherocket]

I can't remember where I read this but didn't someone in WWE (Pat Patterson?) have a policy of only hiring 'Attractive Young Men' for their PBP which was their thinking behind hiring Todd Pettengill and Michael Cole?

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Im sure that Tazz, Josh Matthews, Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, Ernest Miller and Al Snow all have a College degree in Journalism or Communications. I would say that I doubt that any of them have one, but Cole or Coachman probably could although I doubt it as well.

[Guest razazteca]

Can't they just put Paul Heyman back on tv as an announcer or get Joey Styles.

This from the company that used Lita as an announcer? LMAO!

Maybe following the Lita debacle they decided that it just wasn't worsth the rithk to use an untested announcer.

[Guest Sandman9000]

I don't have the college degree (just a frosh) but I do have the 1-3 years of experience. Hell, only thing I am missing from that list is the degree.

[Guest crandamaniac]

Hurry up and get your degree man!

[Guest Sandman9000]

Let's see, hurry up from an environment in which I enjoy to rush into one which will drive me even further insane in a matter of moments.

 

I think I'll be on the seven-year plan from now on...
