Directing/producing film, WWE related
Like say you went to school in Motion Pictures Production to study the whole aspect of film making etc.
Now after working in the movie industry for some time, would that give you an edge in possibly working as a writer for WWE? Or not? I remember WWE.com saying something that they want a minimum of 2 years experience in media etc. Now onto Vince Russo. How did he get his start with the WWF? I heard that during the steroid scandal, he was using this wrestler (who at the time was trying to bring down McMahon) to get his foot in the door. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

As far as Russo goes, I know that he began writing fantasy stuff for WWF magazine and Vince liked it so much that he promoted him to a real writer.

yeah, I know that he started off working for WWE magazine
but before that. What was he doing as a career before he entered the WWE? |

actually, I searched some old threads and found some useful stuff. Something I'm getting into anyways.
I want to work in movies as a real career, as a foundation, but if the opportunity came up to write for WWE, I'd take it in a heart beat. It's probably more interesting than being a wrestler |

Yeah I'm a film major but I mainly wanna write screenplays for movies/tv. But if an oppurtunity for WWE came up I'd def check it out. Sounds like it would be a fun job. Plus I would at least have actual knowledge of the industry (and check this place out).
