Chuck Woolery Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 As some of you may know, I'm an aspiring actor. During a recent (or, like, two minutes ago) browse for casting calls, I stumbled upon this... World Wrestling Entertainment has an immediate opening for On-Air Talent. Candidates must posess knowledge of WWE programming, talent and story lines. Requirements: 1-3 years sports play-by-play announcing a must. Strong announcing, writing, and television production skills. Excellent verbal communications skills. College degree in Journalism, Communications, and/or related field. Strong team player. Extensive travel required. All candidates MUST provide resume, non-returnable tape, photo and salary history to be considered. Attn: Human Resources Subject: HJ-TV Talent/P.B. World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. 1241 East Main Street Stamford, CT 06902. For application details click http://corporate.wwe.com/ and then “WWE Jobs”. One of us should definitely apply, but I just found this interesting. Is the ninety shitty announcers they have right now not enough?
EdwardKnoxII Posted March 2, 2004 Report 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.
JoeDirt Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 They just hired that Grisham guy...who's leaving/left this time?
ChrisMWaters Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Damn... If it wasn't for all those qualifications, I'd apply. Oh well... EDIT: Hmm...internship...
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 By "knowledge" they mean: "Name 5 wrestlers" "Um... The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin... Mr. T... and um...Andrew the Giant." "Close enough. Now, name 5 wrestling moves" "Err... the power-crusher, the piledriver, the a-bomb, the powerdriver, and the power bomb... and the pilecrusher" "That was 6... HOLY COW~! You sure know your stuff. Now, have you ever reported overseas or played college basketball?" "I once interviewed the president... of the 4th largest corporation in Nebraska" "You're hired!" "YES! I can't wait to work for the Wrestling World Federation of Entertainment" "World Wrestling Entertainment" "Close enough" "That's the spirit!"

Wait..WWE knows what the power-crusher is?!
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 2, 2004 Report 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!"
2GOLD Posted March 2, 2004 Report 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.
Vern Gagne Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 "I once interviewed the president... of the 4th largest corporation in Nebraska" "Jim Ross hears Nebraska mentioned and tackles you. Sitting on you, with a crazed look in his eyes keeps yelling Boomer Sooner.
