Not sure how much of a discussion this will make, but I figured it was interesting nonetheless.

I thought in order to be a WWE writer you just had to have short-term memory loss and forget stuff that happened three months ago. I stand corrected.

1. Old. These "requirements" have been up forever.

2. Vince: "Requirements? What are requirements?"

And by product you mean someone who lives in a pineapple under the sea right?

Expect Snitsky & Tomko to be renamed Mr Krabs and Squidwood shortly after the position is filled.

Geez. When my brother gets 2 years of TV/Film experience, he's eligible to apply for a WWE job.

[The One]

I technically have all the requirements to be a writer other then the two years experience... :shifty: Maybe in two years WWE will stop sucking ass :p

[Fox]

Add "NOTE: Fellatio and/or anal penetration (donated to Vincent K. McMahon) may deem all other requirements void."

You have no idea how tempted I am to get myself a degree in one of those fields...They've got some good internship programs around here, I could get the two years experience while working on a degree.

[Kane Knight]

Add "NOTE: Fellatio and/or anal penetration (donated to Vincent K. McMahon) may deem all other requirements void."

MAY?

:wtf:

[Skippord]

I thought in order to be a WWE writer you just had to be retarded

[Lara Emily]

So I take it they got rid of the old requirement that basically said you had to not be a fan of wrestling to get hired?

[Kane Knight]

It's still there, this is just what they put on the corporate site to attract resumés they can laught at.

[94 SVT Cobra]

Im not noticing the "Must have a long history of smoking large amounts of crack/freebase, as you will be doing that before any ideas are put on the table in a creative meeting" part, could have swore i saw it there before
