– Table Talk recently interviewed screenwriter and Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling creator Max Landis. During the interview, Landis revealed that the parody video got him a consultant gig with the WWE, which he’s been doing for the past year. You can check out some highlights and a video of the interivew below. Landis on consulting for WWE: “Here’s a secret, I’ve been a consultant on WWE Raw for the last year. I would occasionally say stuff like ‘add another member to the Wyatt Family,’ or ‘make it so the NXT divas come up,’ but I think other people were saying that s–t too.” Landis on his problems with WWE’s current direction and how there needs to be more interaction between WWE Superstars and Divas: “I would say it needs to be cohesive, where each segment blurs into the next segment, and what happens at the beginning of the show affects every character. It needs to be cohesive. You can’t have only the women interacting with the women, the midcard guys only interacting with the midcard guys, the nobody guys only interacting with the nobody guys, and the top guys only interacting with the top guys, because that creates a vortex of boredom,” Landis said. “The best episodes of that show is where one thing happens at the start and it starts a ripple effects through the entire thing. They don’t do it often.” Landis on his current deal with WWE: “I think my contract’s finally coming up, and lord knows they don’t listen to me. I might end up continuing to work with them. They’re their own thing. When I brought in there was a sense of ‘Why should we listen to him?'” 411mania.com/wrestling/max-landis-reveals-hes-a-consultant-for-wwe/

His analysis there seems spot on. Pity that it hasn't had more of an effect.

I was under the impression that this was already known.

Might explain why they didn't point him out sitting next to Seth Green a while back.

Really sucks that nobody seems to be listening to him, because he's pretty damn right, and just in general I agree wholeheartedly with aboiut 99% of the things he's said about X franchise.

"Why should we listen to him/them" should be the motto of this company

Does this mean we'll be getting the cute Rule 63 Cena soon?

That explains the dip in ratings.

I know it's been said before but damn WWE sounds like a horrid place to work It's REALLY strange. WWE will bend over backwards for any celebrity who's willing to spend 10 minutes on RAW to shill whatever project they're working. But if a celebrity like Landis or Freddy or whoever else actually works FOR them? "What's Mr. Hollywood think he knows about THIS BIZNISS?! Smile, nod, and tell him to go the **** away."

If they let him go, they'd better look out, or else he will write some more very strongly-worded, self-aggrandizing Reddit posts.

"Oh, what do you suggest they do?"
"Things that people would like? You know, like this thing that happened and people seem okay with, or that other thing that happened and people liked."
"You suggested those?"
"I suggested things like them. Also, I think it'd be cool if Triple H talked to Curtis Axel or something like that."
"Well...thank you for your time."
"Please watch my Frankenstein movie. Or that American Ultra film."
"Did they pay you in American Ultra advertisement?"
"...Mostly."

I liked Chronicle, but he's wrong about Rey in Star Wars.

He actually has a good(and for once,not said by everyone) point,about having more interaction between divisions.
Besides main eventers squash tag teams
