Imagine if they got some of the Lost writers? Randomly during a match, we'd get flashbacks of the wrestler's life. Like during a Punk match, we'd get ROH flashbacks and learn THE ORIGINS OF "CM." Another episode would be of Mick Foley finally finding his father, only to find out he's a con artist and pushes him out a window from 80 ft. Or find out in another flash back that evil Vince didn't just buy the 'ol WWWF from his dad, he also killed some of the old hold out investors via a gas attack and buried 'em under the ring at MSG.

If Michael Bay gets hired, I riot! Michael Bay already wrote for a wrestling promotion. It was called Wrestling Society X. "We need explosions in our wrestling matches! Big ones! Awesome."

I would totally mark for a Jack Bauer-esq CM Punk or turning Evan Bourne into Barney Stinson.

The new writers initiative is a part of the company’s attempt to position themselves as part of Hollywood as another method of upgrading the company image. It dates back to Kristen Prouty’s hiring to head Celebrity Relations, with her big move getting Kevin Federline to do the angle with Cena on Raw in 2006. Her success in that role has put her as part of the recruiting team for new writers. getting a z-list "celebrity" who would only be considered famous by women who read tabloids, and is mainly known for being a jackass/wigger/failed wannabe rapper who leeches off his (ex) wifes fame and money, is considered a success? seriously, and i say this with no wrestling fan bias at all, i think cena was the bigger celebrity in that program

O that WWe. Just above Co$ in it's sad desperate attempts to be taken seriously. Just accept it Vince, you're a wrestling promoter learn to live with it. It's like Vivid hiring a bunch of HBO writers to make compelling dialogue for their adult programming. Or Martin Scorcese to direct Anal invaders II. Not that some haven't tried, have you seen Digital Playground's Pirates? That's first time I saw what could be considered an epic porn movie. Exactly it's like trying to put silk stockings on a pig. No matter how much WWE wants to slap on celebrity window dressing in the public's eye it will always be "Wrasslin'" whether Vinnie Mac likes it or not. Especially when you do crap like having midgets running through walls or blonde bimbos belting out off key dirges at every show and oversexed octogenarians giving birth to hands.
