WWE has hired four new writers. They are Andrew Goldstein, John Carle, Dave Kapoor and Pantelis Ypsilantis. Carle is said to have the least wrestling knowledge of the four - he is being described as having absolutely no knowledge of pro wrestling. credit: Wrestling Observer

MCMAHON: So John, what ideas are you going to bring to the WWE creative team?

JOHN CARLE: I'm a visionary, Vince, so let me envision onto you the vision from which I am currently envisioning: Vincent Kennedy McMahon versus Triple H, with the custody of Stephanie's new daughter on the line! Baby on a pole match!

MCMAHON: ....I love you.

Gerard 08-21-2006 08:22 PM

I dunno maybe people with no knowledge of wrestling are whats needed, they might come up with stuff thats not been tried before instead of sticking to the mcmahon cookie cutter rulebook of storylines. :?:

Xero 08-21-2006 08:24 PM

I was going to make a jew joke here, but Pantelis Ypsilantis? Where the fuck is that person from?

#1-norm-fan 08-21-2006 08:30 PM

Or Sit 'n all I spy... silly TNA :-P

Mark my words, this means something.

Blitz 08-21-2006 08:32 PM

I bet that guy got called Panty Ypsilantis as a kid.

And I bet it scarred him for life.

Iceland?

Blitz 08-21-2006 08:40 PM

It's a greek name, I think (?)

Loose Cannon 08-21-2006 08:40 PM

glad one of the Keebler Elves found something else to do with his time.

FourFifty 08-21-2006 10:24 PM

Why can't they hire people who... I don't know... know what the fucking industry is about?

Kane Knight 08-21-2006 10:25 PM

You've been, blah blah

Darn, I thought it would be 2 ENG 101 students and 2 ENG 102 professors.

YOUR Hero 08-21-2006 11:25 PM

Perhaps WWE could convince the Wayans brothers to write for them.

Come on now.







You know they don't like anyone upstaging them.

Yes, because guys who get credit for being funny when they rip off a Bugs Bunny cartoon would be a step-up, as if we don't complain about recycled stories as it is. Plus, I don't think SmackDown! would do much better with the new slogan, "I'm black, you're white, and that's hilarious!":roll:

Petethegeekstreet 08-22-2006 11:18 AM

Sarcasm AL

Afterlife 08-22-2006 11:20 AM

I know that. But the company might take you seriously.

With Cena on the show, I thought they were writing for Raw anyway. I mean, come on, can you get much more "white stereotype?"

Corkscrewed 08-22-2006 03:15 PM

I'd mark out if Cena sang "1000 Miles."

OK, so not really, but it'd be hilariously painful.

The Naitch 08-22-2006 04:35 PM

I agree it's good to have a writer with no wrestling knowledge to represent the 'casual fan' to have that vision of what it should take to bring in new viewers who haven't watched wrestling before

But it's not a good idea to have any writers without any REAL knowledge.

If I ran the WWE, AT LEAST 1/2 of the staff would be required to know at least as much as Russo did when he started writing for them.

Destor 08-22-2006 06:31 PM

For the record I think it's good to have a guy that doesn't follow the product so you can get an outsiders point of view. As long as his opinion isn't held in high esteem.

Kane Knight 08-22-2006 06:33 PM

The problem being that the mainstream view is one with no prior wrestling experience whatsoever.

I agree. But the MAJORITY of them don't know the product. The job description says that they DON'T want them to be familiar with the product.

If it were only one or two, I'd be fine with it. But you should be hiring people who know your business more than people who don't.

Destor 08-22-2006 06:36 PM

Oh I completely agree. I was elaborating on my thumbs up back there.

I don't think that really a problem. If the mainstream audience isn't familiar with the product if you cant get them they will have low standards. If you can get them to begin with.

Except I was addressing the same thing Xero was.

The majority of (mainstream) writers are ones with no knowledge whatsoever.

Destor 08-22-2006 07:08 PM

I thought you meant the audience. Writers need the backing for sure, you need to please your core audience. So yeah, you be right and such.

Kane Knight 08-22-2006 07:09 PM

What in the message I replied to would have indicated the audience?

If anything, responding to your statement about writers would indicate I was refrring to the same.

Destor 08-22-2006 07:11 PM

Stonned, got confussed. It happens.

The Naitch 08-22-2006 07:15 PM

Just hire Kane Knight to give the Ninja persepective

Kane Knight 08-22-2006 07:16 PM

A vote for me, is a vote for the end of Raw as we know it.

Probably not a good thing.

The Naitch 08-22-2006 07:36 PM

it's a good thing
