-------------------------------------------------

I guess you will have to be 18 or over to try out.:(


But it's good that we'll see a Brit on RAW soon.:D

[PYRO-MANIAC]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! :(


You know if they did this kind of thing years ago i would have got some wrestling training and went for it.

I used to backyard a lot but i realised how shitty backyarding was. I mean i never injured anyone and felt pretty good at what i did back then.

I got one really bad stinger once when some dumbass dropped me spine first onto there knee - Papa Shango shoulder breaker! :lol:

I got a bad bad stinger and couldnt feel ANYTHING for about a good minute. Seemed like forever.

But yeah i wish they did this years ago because im 26 now and i just feel its too late sadly. :(

I wish i got the training years ago now.. so my advice is to anyone thinking about it JUST DO IT.. GET TRAINED UP AND GO FOR IT. Or you'll forever be looking back like i am now. :n:

[The Ravishing One]

Thats great news.

[Evolution]

AWESOME!

*Starts saving for train fare to Manchester*

Evolution could be on RAW!

*Tries starting an "Evolution for RAW campaign*

[King Jericho]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I guessing tapes will have to be sent in, but we'll see.

*searches for a tape to send in*

[Cool King]

*Wishes he was 18 or over*

:(

[Tornado]

Get Dave Mercy and Alex Steele onto WWE programming.

[Rob]

I'd rather drink my own piss than work for Vince McMahon

[Cool King]

:lol: Really?

But some people say that drinking it gives you a healthy something.(I can't remember what.)

Rolf Harris does that anyway.:-\

[PYRO-MANIAC]

I'd rather drink my own piss than work for Vince McMahon

:lol: Man do you come across as a pissed off old dude.

Live a little,at least the money would be good.. for a month or two! :shifty:

[Disturbed316]

You have to sign up by 7th November, you can't just turn up on the day. Thats what the queer said anyway.

[Evolution]

I clicked the link to where the applications can be found, and I can't find it. There's a Taboo Tuesday advert, a link that takes you back to where you just came from, ticket info for the Survivor Series tour and a wweeuroshop link. WTF?

[Rob]

:lol: Man do you come across as a pissed off old dude.

Live a little,at least the money would be good.. for a month or two! :shifty:

It's a job good I don't care how I come across then. I'm 24. There are like only 2 guys on the roster younger than me.

Good money? They are paying guys embarrassingly low yearly guarantees. Rey Misterio first signed for the company for $50,000 a year (obviously he makes more now). That's a disgrace. They are signing guys to low contracts because they know most guys had dreams for working for them so they treat them like marks.

And just for the record, WWE have an office in London no more than 3 miles from my house and I was offered a job with them a few years ago. I had my own reasons for turning it down that had nothing to do with Vince McMahon. But I have so little respect for him on a business level that he couldn't pay me enough to work for him. I'm someone who would take job satisfaction over money any day of the week. I don't blame anyone else for taking work from him but I personally wouldn't.

[Rob]

Oh yeah, I recommended Jody Flesich to the WWF twice and Johnny Storm once when I had a contact with them (I don't now) and they didn't take them when they were injury free, at their peaks and at a time they were dying for light heavyweight talent.

They won't take anyone now.

[Aussie Skier]

they should do that in Australia.

They could find the next Nathan Jones! :shifty:

[Dave Youell]

I'm not touching that with a 30 foot barge pole, no chance in hell. I don't have a look for them, like Rob said if they don't take Jodi or Johnny or DOUG! I have no chance.

I have a feeling this could be made out to look like a joke or just some skit to show on the UK Raw and I for one don't want to be made out to look like a fool.

Although it would be cool to say just once I worked in a WWE ring....

[Karlsberg]

It would be a cool thing to do but unfortunatly I think like a lot of other people it is a bit too late for me.

Hey im 26 and dont care how i come across to people either! :y:

Im suprised Mysterio was on $50.000 when he first signed with the company. I would have imagined him to be at least on $100.000 - $150.000. I guess if they wont take Jodi Fleish, Doug Williams, or Johnny Storm then unless you were either better physically like 6"5 - 7 Foot and 250+lbs then you have a slim to none chance, or they might give out a few OVW contracts to outstanding candidates.

They took Birchall if you remember, i know they've totally changed his character from monster to a technical grappler but he's still got a decent job in the end.

I suppose the WWE are looking for a special something in the first place and you'd have to be a perfect wrestling specimen to have any chance i think! :eek:

I wish i had the training though although i believe if you dont do one thing you can always do another. Its not the end of the world. :lol:

I respect your reasons for turning down the job. :y:

I work for myself and im happy doing it so i can understand you need job satisfaction, thats cool. :D

<font color=white>Post another thread in 6 months and see if Paul Burchill still has 'a decent job' then</font>

[CSL]

<font color=white>That's pretty wild. What did the job entail?</font>

[Corkscrewed]

First thing that came to mind when reading the first post was "THAT'S RIGHT! WORK FOR THE WWE AND GET TOTALLY CHANGED INTO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND INFERIOR WRESTLER THAN YOU ACTUALLY ARE!!!"

(referring to Burchill, or however you spell it)
