EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 This is what got me. World Wrestling Entertainment has an immediate opening for On-Air Talent. Candidates must posess knowledge of WWE programming, talent and story lines HA yeah right. The last few on air talent like Coach and Cole weren't fans to begin with and even if a cadidate did know lots about the WWE you just know JR aint going to hire him.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 "Name a wrestler" Paul London "Who?" Paul London "Uh, I don't think thats a wrestler." He's on Velocity sometimes.. "Whats Velocity?" Thats the Smackdown brand show on Saturday nightl. "We have a Smackdown brand show on Saturday night?" Yeah, its on at 10. "What channel?" Spike TV, same as RAW. "Really? Thats great! But I still don't know who you're talking about." Paul London, you know, he tagged with Brian Kendrick before he quit. "Who, what, huh?" Brian Kendrick, you know, Spanky? "Don't know him" The guy that delivered the singing telegram to the Undertaker and ran around naked. "Not ringing a bell, but it sounds stupid." Ok..you work for the WWE but you've never heard of these guys? "Nope, NEXT!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 Wow, I meet all of those qualifications. If I actually wanted to work at a place with a man who is way past his prime and an overly horn dog loser would tell me why I suck everyday then I'd apply. Let me see: I know wrestling, I know wrestlers, I meet the qualifications and I could easily leave the job I have. And why WON'T I do it? Cause you couldn't pay me enough to enter that hell hole and constantly give the Kliq and McMahon family on air bjs and then be told by an over the hill deadweight that it's not working out.
