I love how it says "Be yourself"and yet,it limits you to be something specific.

So this is a list of common sense things to do. Who works for them when they need a list of beyond obvious things?
What makes it difficult is the nonsense word and phrase substitutions and dismissal of some IWC phrases which clearly shows how energy is being wasted on unnecessary things that maybe, jut maybe improve the product for about 2%.
If this lists is genuine that means that any normal reasoning person can work for WWE actually without any special skills cause this list could have been written by someone who has never done any announcing in his life. Which tells us that WWE is in deficit of normal reasoning personel.

I like how it says to be "real" with you passion but then it tells you watch pre recorded matches beforehand and then force a change in voice tone at important moments. Super natural...
Also JBL must have missed the part about not calling your partner and idiot and emasculating them.
I hope it isn't real but it probably is.

I got a feeling some of this is legitimate but some of it is made up. That or I don't want to believe that WWE has production maintenance this ass backwards. Not only that, some of these dos and do nots on this thing are done week end a week out. This really makes me question the legibility of these notes.

To be honest, it doesn't seem anything different from what any other broadcasters would get. I've worked college football broadcasts and this really isn't any different (or longer) than the notes they work with provided this is true. If true some of the suggestions are funny as they are the exact opposite of what actually happens on commentary. Funniest notes I ever read while working college football games (Fox Sports Net)were "Don't mention Hal Mumme's butt" and "Dont' say 'did you just see that', of course they just saw that, you are on the TV not the radio' What was wrong with Hal Mumme's butt? Was there something about it that announcers couldn't help but mention if not directed against it? |

Keep in mind, these are all years old, some of it is from 2008. Some of these things have been loosened up on, and there's probably new rules in place that we haven't even picked up on. But I would guess that they've stuck with this set of rules and tweaked it along the way. |

- 'Do not use the word hatred.' That cracks me up, reminds me of Paul Heyman on the ECW DVD - 'the network preferred "intense dislike"'
- 'Nobody knows dates' - 'Our audience are f***ing idiots'
- Passive/aggressive words section doesn't even say 'face' or 'heel'. f*** my life
- Why can't they say hospital? I don't get it. Is that a hangover from the kayfabe era so fans don't go looking in local hospitals?
- Guys... 'lay out' is two words. You said it as one word like 400 times.
- 'No one cares what you think' - Thank God we have heel commentators then
- 'Don't call a move before it happens. If it's predictable, why are we watching?' - This is actually a really good principle, and one that they do not follow even f***ing slightly with the booking.

"Don't call a move before it happens. If this is so predictable why should we watch?" Judging by their ratings trend in recent years, many fans have asked that same question. This list is comedy gold. It's the end result of an overproduced, micromanaged product. Ain't nothing "Raw" about the show, hasn't been for years. Cannot stand when Cole calls a guy done right before they get pinned. Who cares if we know it's probably true. |

"I saw CM Punk at the waffle house this morning, he treated the waitress so nasty it was embarrassing", typical short order cook behaviour.

"The business" was a banned word? Now you hear it 1000 times everytime Triple H or Steph is on screen.

Didn't this already come out once before a few years ago or am I completely insane?

I'm pretty sure the emasculation thing is more about the PBP guy taking the high road when that happens. |

I dont know how anybody could do their job with a tyrannical overlord like Vince micromanaging every single thing.
Seriously it would be easier to do a broadcast without using the letter E.

"PLease do not use the term "Sports Entertainment". Going forward, please use "Entertainment" in place." So now I guess we're just the Internet Entertainment Community? 5 years from now they wont even be able to use entertainment "Please refrain from using the word entertainment to describe WWE action...entertainment is bingo night with grandma. Please stick to calling it the WWE super insano funosphere galaxy as we've been encouraging" |

I guess it's my turn today to be "that guy", but this is literally just pictures of a few pieces of paper with writing on them. No logos, no copyright icons, absolutely nothing professional looking that a multi-million dollar corporation would have to stamp onto their letters.
Yeah I know, typing up all of this just to pass it off as real would be incredibly pointless and time consuming, not to mention sad. On the other hand...this is Reddit we're talking about.

"I...am...a...good...talk...guy" They couldn't even say the initials of the company. That'd be such a Vince thing to do. |
