It owns that the WWE has been around for nearly 70 years and just today somebody decided “Hey, you know what we need? Somebody to make sure our writing makes sense.”

You mocked Chris Kreski for this shit even though when he was head writer you had one of your greatest years ever, 2000.

[Mister Pigwell]

I love how stories making sense in WWE is such an afterthought.

Damn this job will be super high stress. Everyone will be barking at you and arguing every time you say something.

WWE is like Saved by the Bell. Bright colors, good looking people, and no continuity or long term storytelling. I almost feel bad for the person who gets this job.

WWE Continuity Supervisor Commited to Mental Health Facility

I don't feel bad for the person who gets this job. They will probably show up and just hang out eating since they will never be presented with anything to check continuity on. So many of the ideas presented on WWE TV are completely incompatible with any sense of continuity.

if I'm honest I don't think wrestling needs long term continuity.

I mean there are some things that should stick... people that have teamed in the past (unless like it was under a different gimmick entirely like Repo Man and Smash) and if they had massive bloody feuds with each other should at least still not like each other even if one turns heel.

Lance Storm should do this

Goodluck to anyone who wants that thankless job.

Tries to keep continuity ..only for someone even higher up to override your efforts.

Vince: "So I've been writing a show that made no sense for 30 years? Why didn't anybody tell me?"

HHH: "Hehe, we all thought it was funny."

Vince: "....that's not funny."

This job will last a month before the person quits or they ignore its purpose.

[Final Countdown Jones]

I give it until September before whichever sad sap gets the job either just stamps everything through or the job role is quietly dropped because it's making things 'too difficult'.

* Responsible for watching all shows and up to date on all creative and all WWE related events. (Digital, Social, Publix Relations, Community Relations, etc.)

That's like a 150 hour a week job before you even start doing the rest of your duties!

Right? What dickheads, lol. This is a thing in virtually every written form of entertainment and WWE, the company that promotes themselves as being more of a TV show than just wrestling, gaffed at the idea. 

It's the same type of shit like Vince deciding now is the time to bring back the XFL. It shows a total lack of awareness of the world outside of your bubble.

I pity the poor bastard who gets this job and has to make Kane's continuity make sense.
