My friend works for WWE

[Sephiroth]

So, the other day I reconnected via social media with a guy I have not seen since Jr. High, and was blown away to find out he is now a senior production assistant for WWE. On one hand I am really not all that surprised-he was always a fan, and while we had largely been out of touch I knew he studied television production in high school and college. But on the other, WOW, he actually made it! For the most part we just caught up on old times, but I could not resist asking "So what is Vince like in person?" He laughed and said "Pretty normal, but sometimes just like on tv." And for some reason even that was pretty predictable to me.

For the record, no I will not be fielding questions from anyone to him, nor will I pester him for a job with WWE myself. But he did give me a little info to the effect of that it is an incredibly hectic and draining job, despite how much he enjoys it, and that he "practically lives" in the production studio. I'm glad to see he is living out his dream, good for him.

ask him if Vince ever tried drag-racing with him

[Andrew is Good]

I'm wondering if he lives in Titan Towers, or this little dinky studio they have that's not Titan Towers that I've heard about.

[mystikz]

maybe he'll get stuck in the vault with Roaddog and Josh

The burning question here is if it's true what they say about the Bellas and their urinal humour.

MAKE HIM FIND OUT.

MAKE HIM.

AS IN FORCE.

I kind of wonder what jobs at WWE aren't hectic and draining. I almost wonder if being the janitor at Titan Towers might be the least stressful job in the WWE.

Maybe their medical staff/athletic trainers, but I dunno how many of them are permanent hires or how many of them they pick up at each city or how that works at all.

Kudos to him. They have some of the best production people in all of sports and entertainment working there. If he has reached a senior position with them he must be freaking good...

That is so awesome.

I love it when that happens. It's rare to find that people actually get to pursue their childhood dreams and do so successfully.

This probably doesn't mean anything, but congratulations to your friend and thank you for sharing.

My brother and I have a friend who worked for the WWE as a senior production assistant from 2006-2010. He has awesome stories.

[ronin705]

damn i was just coming in here to tell you to get the storylines for us lol, naw but that's awesome but a little crazy to hear you two drifted apart seeing on how you both love wrestling. Ah well, got him back now, that's all that matters.

[The Varsity Club]

seriously man get your friend to do some espionage work and get us the future storyline scripts for RAW. Hell if i can read it in advance I might be able to save myself a lot of time on monday nights

Does he get free unlimited access to the WWE Video Library?
