Lil' Bitch 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Eagan469 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godthedog 0 Report post 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.

Karc 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
