If Mr. I-Paid-My-Ticket thinks he knows so much about proper booking, he should just march right up to Stamford and apply for a position as a writer. Tell them your qualifications -- you've been watching wrestling all your life, and you never worked for a soap opera. You'll have a job in no time. *cheesy Mick Foley thumbs up* Wasn't there a point where the WWE didn't want anyone involved or interested in Wrestling as a writer?

If they crowd does start going off during the show, the announcers will just play it off as them either being an NYC crowd.

They were more interested in someone with experience writing soap operas, and they made it very clear they didn't even want potential writers to be wrestling fans at all.

Someone come up with a potential chant for Chris Masters. He definitely can't go the night without being tormented in some way.

I was just looking at the new job description for a Creative Writer and got this: Qualified candidates should possess:
* BA/BS in Film, TV, Drama, Media Studies, Communications or equivalent
* Minimum of three to five years writing and production experience in network television
* Professional TV staff experience in drama and comedy a plus
* Experience in all aspects of live TV production a plus
* Highly creative (a prolific idea generator)
* Plugged into pop culture and trends
* Able to work closely and effectively with talent, writers, and producers throughout the creative process
* Strong understanding of WWE's audience (demographic and psychographic) a plus
* Must live in Stamford, CT area or be willing to relocate there
* Knowledge of WWE shows, talent, and storylines
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment
* Flexible travel schedule (extensive travel required)If you have watched WWE TV, you can see the wide irony of alot of these points ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

the ny crowd should be fun to watch. As could be seen with ECW, they make a boring show worth watching. It's only worth watching if you like watching an immature crowd jackass around. If you want to watch a wrestling match with even the least bit of potential (i.e. Big Show/Batista), you will be sorely disappointed. "Change the Channel" chants are a prime example of how a very hot crowd can totally ruin a match (as are "Boring" chants and "You F***ed Up" chants). They're disrespectful to the guys in the ring and to viewers at home who want to watch wrestling, not a fifth grade field trip. The best thing a crowd can do if they don't like a match is sit on their hands. There's no sense in ruining it for everyone else. Well, considering that nearly the whole crowd on 8/1 was chanting it, I'd hardly call it ruining it. If they were doing it at a Smackdown taping in front of Smackdown fans, then ok I could understand. But that match shouldn't have been done in front of a mostly ECW crowd. If it was part of a Smackdown taping, the crowd would've ate it up and as I mentioned yesterday was bad booking on their part. Did they really truly think that the ECW crowd would get behind Batista (hated hoss in those parts) and Big Show (another hated hoss by many)? I admit sometimes they can go overboard, but until they make an edict or ruling that says that you can't chant certain things and you must chant what WWE tells you to chant, it's not going to stop.

If the HHH/Vince match actually happens I'm sure some fans will start a chant related to how they'd rather be watching MNF.

Except for the 3-5 year experience minimum in creative (I'm only in my first year), I pretty much hit the qualify button. The only problem is, I know what the McMahons would do with anything I came up with.

And today is the 5th anniversary of 9/11, so expect the WWE to make some tasteless jokes about it. Normally i dont care for Raw but tonight in NYC I wont miss it because the fans will make it worthwhile.

I'm actually looking forward to RAW, and it's just for what the audience is going to do and say! It should be fun.

The audience won't be anywhere near as interesting as the Hamemrstein Ballroom crowd. It's harder to start fancy smark chants when there's like 16,000 more people in the building.
