The corporate section of their website also says you need legitimate experience for writing in the Hollywood/Television industry already before they will consider hiring you.

Yeah I assumed as much when I read the OP. I doubted WWE would higher someone unknown with no credentials

[MKPunk]

Besides the experience issue, I would do it if I had the money for the interview opportunity and to head out for it. That is one of the parts of the enitre process that people do not think of.

[Zeki]

Hypothetically, if the experience thing was not an issue (and neither was the money/travel factor) I still wouldn't do it. I know I'd be no good at it.

[Mizzite]

Heck I'm gong for it . Even though I am not "Hollywood" Material I really don't care.
Somebody around here has got to take the plunge and I'm just the man for it.
Wish me luck ..here I come WWE...your worse nightmare!!!!!mwahahahaha!
Seriously..I'm going for it.
Oh and if I do get it...Johnny Ace is coming back with a vengence!!!!!

[The Rocker]

Yet they'll hire someone with no wrestling credentials...because WWE is entertainment and all.

Go for it, man! And good luck!

[Matt]

Minimum of 10 years writing and production experience in television.

Other than that little detail, I'd be in.

[Falcone]

I'm gonna apply. Why not?

[Big Pete]

I'm gonna apply. Why not?

Because it's one of the worst jobs you could have?

[Falcone]

I get paid more money than I'm making now, meet wrestlers and spend all day in a room with Stephanies boobs.

Yeah, sounds like a real nightmare.

[BestInThe205]

I would LOVE that job..

[Mizzite]

Well.....UPDATE....
After six hours of doing a kick ass resume and a whole year of great storylines and a two hour video saying why I am the "chosen" one for the WWE,I had just sent the bad boy over.
Now the waiting game begins...........

[Bang Bang]

This is the easiest job in the world. you only need to know how to do one thing.

"So we were thinking Jack Swagger----"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO"

"So we start the show with Sheamus telling us a stor------"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO"

"All our champions lose non title matches"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO"

"WWE champion never closes out a PPV....unless its Cena"

"NOOOOOOOOO"

Easiest job in the world.

Actually, you'd have to change all those no's to yes's.

Because if you disagree with Vince that often, you'll be hearing those famous two words.

[Bang Bang]

Vince isnt the one pitching the ideas. Overseeing creative makes it so these shit ideas never cross his desk

[Miss HHH]

They've just sacked Eric Pankowski, the senior VP of creative and development as well today...

Shake-up!

[oWn]

I hate Vince McMahon enough just watching his show, I cant imagine how much I would hate him working for him

[Todd]

WWE sent out the business strategy at the same time they released their year-end financials. They basically said they were looking at maximising content and creative in order to pry more eyes over to the proposed WWE network. They were specific that they were looking to improve their content and creative direction. A shake-up doesn't surprise me.

[paulo75]

I'm work in the creative department of an ad agency. It's not as glamourous as it sounds, lol.

[Justin Valuable]

I would imagine being a creative writer when Triple H takes over will be a lot better than being a writer under Vince. I don't think I could handle the constant mood swings of Vince in regards to storyline ideas.

[King_Steve]

I love how everyone points out how much of a pain in the ass it is to work with a bipolar Vince Mcmahon.

[Mal]

I vote RT. He'd be perfect for this job.

[WMS]

I don't think RT's new employers would be too pleased on him quitting his job already. Give it to KJ instead.

What amazes me is how technical sounding the ad makes the job seem. And we see the end results of what this decorated writing supervisor produces every Monday Night. I could write a good episode of RAW with a box of crayons and a scrap piece of loose leaf.
