""World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. is seeking someone to be a part of a magazine launch, sister magazine to flagship WWE magazine with a readership of 4.5 million. Candidate should have a strong knowledge of children based subject material. Wrestling knowledge is also a plus. An ability to write and top-edit stories is a must. Brainstorm clever creative pieces, front-of-book items and features while bringing fresh ideas to the role."" wrestlingtruth.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1197396034&archive= |

Don't kids already naturally gravitate to wrestling?

This wouldn't be the first time, I believe. Remember that comic book thing they used to do, Battlemania or something?

I love how wrestling knowledge is only a plus, not a requirement.

Maybe they think the current magazine is too 'real' for them, so thry're gonna start putting out WWE Jr, or Teen WWE, or something like that. Or they read our poll on putting out an 'Adult' WWE diva mag, and did what they do best, which is the exact opposite of what we want.

Well, this is just going back to the way it was during the attitude era. WWF magazine as it was at the time was children oreintated, while the Raw magazine was very much more adult and broke kayfabe alot.

Let me get this straight. Wrestling knowledge is a plus to write a kid's magazine but a big no-no to write the actual shows? Welcome to WWE.

I think it's some sort of canadian mammal, or something like that. I have a hard time visualizing it, because whenver I hear it, I always focus on Hardcore Holly for some reason. |

I love how wrestling knowledge is only a plus, not a requirement. I woke for, amongst others, a gardening magazine... doesn't mean I have any gardening knowledge... I don't. It's important that you have good editorial, design and production (like me), and then you can feed in the work by the actual wrestling knowledgable folks. If this was in the UK, I'd be interested in working there. |

Oh, I thought it was some Vietnam town the US attacked this week. (For anyone who doesn't get the joke, the special "1968 with Tom Brokaw" aired on the History Channel and on the old news airing, one of the cities with a cheesy exploding graphic is named "Ben Wuai".) |

You know what this means?
The return of "For Kids Only" by Dallas Hart and Stephanie Wiand!
(Of course, Dallas is much older now. Any younger Harts they could get?)

Only if we get a section ripe with cutely-drawn superhero rip-off comics of cliche style.
