Lil' Bitch Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 WWE is looking for a storyline researcher whose job will be to help the writing team maintain certain connections in storylines, chart Neilsen ratings to provide analysis of trends, and generate ideas for future storylines. One of the requirements is knowledge of WWE's past and present storylines, I know most of you wrestleholics believe you're already qualified, but they also require that you have at least two years experience writing soap operas. Yes, soap operas. Cred: RajahWWF
Lightning Flik Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Like any GOOD soap opera writer actually watches the WWE...
Guest Eagan469 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Well, it explains why the current writers don't know shit about comedy.
Papacita Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 What the hell is it with Vince and soap operas. Soaps aren't exactly the hottest trend in entertainment these days. Damn stupid Vince.
Guest Eagan469 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I'm waiting for someone to fake their own death. It would be untasteful, but imagine if they said Flair died, then a week later he did a run-in. Arena would go fucking apeshit.
DerangedHermit Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I'm waiting for someone to fake their own death. It would be untasteful, but imagine if they said Flair died, then a week later he did a run-in. Arena would go fucking apeshit. I'd think they'd make Flair a ZOMBIE~! though. Flair: Brains? Brains? ::walks over to Vince, Steph and HHH:: no brains.
Boner Kawanger Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I still mark out for Zombie Flair and his feud with Fozzy.
AndrewTS Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Anyone have that pic still? Pissed off, bloody, heavy-metal hating Flair trashing their equipment was awesome. Flair even got a big face pop for doing that. And wouldn't zombie Flair want brains--and balls? I don't know how their albums sound, but that performance live sucked. When Bossman was hung, I expected him to come back as a cyborg or a bionic man. Instead, he was just fine. Hmph.
razazteca Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I watch alot of Novelas, the WWE needs to hire some writers from that show on Telemundo, you know Pedro the guy with the killer mullet.
AndrewTS Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Like any GOOD soap opera writer actually watches the WWE... Like there are any GOOD soap operas.
Lightning Flik Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Like any GOOD soap opera writer actually watches the WWE... Like there are any GOOD soap operas. I said writer. Big difference between the writer and the soaps. ...ok, it's like an small difference, but you get what I mean. Choko Says: Dory silly goofy boy. Choko knows be no diffy tweeny writy and soapy.
King Cucaracha Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Man, I am so getting a writing job on a soap opera when I leave school.
Anakin Flair Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Didn't they already have someone for this job? What happend to him? Oh, yeah, Vicne FIRED him when he pointed out that there was NO continuity. AT ALL.
Jobber of the Week Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Anyone have that pic still? Pissed off, bloody, heavy-metal hating Flair trashing their equipment was awesome. Flair even got a big face pop for doing that. That was awesome. Flair needs to do The Who impressions more often.
The Czech Republic Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Anyone have that pic still? Pissed off, bloody, heavy-metal hating Flair trashing their equipment was awesome. Flair even got a big face pop for doing that. That was awesome. Flair needs to do The Who impressions more often. Evolution should all do Who impressions! Flair can be Pete Townshend, and HHH can be Roger Daltrey. Randy Orton should do Keith Moon.
godthedog Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 What the hell is it with Vince and soap operas. Soaps aren't exactly the hottest trend in entertainment these days. Damn stupid Vince. soap writers are used to unholy amounts of workload, having to churn out 80+ page scripts everyday and whatnot. the fed has tons of characters and lots of tv time, so there's LOTS of work for the writers to do. vince needs people who can write a lot of shit really fast and can juggle multiple storylines: hence, he wants guys with experience in soaps. if he got, say, a staff writer from 'law and order' (whose team only has to do 26 episodes in a year and who will write MAYBE 6 of those scripts himself), he'd have quite a rude awakening.
BoboBrazil Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I still say they should get the writers from OZ.
Fökai Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 The "soap opera" requirement was sarcastically inserted by Meltzer in his news update earlier this week, so Rajah took it upon themselves to steal the news and include Meltzer's joke as fact.
Karc Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 It's not really a joke. I know a couple of years ago there was an actual information link to WWE jobs, and one of the requirements was some experience in longterm storyline writing. But there, they only used soap opera writing as an example, it wasn't a requirement.
TheFranchise Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 When Bossman was hung, I expected him to come back as a cyborg or a bionic man. Instead, he was just fine. Hmph. This is just one of the reasons that Boss Man > Goldberg.
Enigma Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 I applied for a spot on the creative team in March, but they told me they were aiming for people with soap opera experiences and that I would not be needed as of right now. But they did "appreciate my vast knowledge of the history and the workings of professional wrestling." What does that second "W" stand for again?
Guest RollingSambos Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Wow...you actually got a REPLY to your application? How'd you manage that?
