In May of 2016, Complex.com ran an article entitled “Wrestling With a Dream Job: How a Regular Guy Became a Writer for the WWE”. It was written by Andrew Goldstein.
Before 2006, Goldstein had worked as a production assistant for MTV. The year before, he has responded to a job posting from WWE on an entertainment jobs website, not expecting anything from it. Instead, he was called in for an interview and eventually - after failing the first interview - became part of WWE creative.
In his piece, he discussed working with the aforementioned Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Patrice O’Neal, as well as Bob Mould and future-owner of the National Wrestling Alliance, Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s a fascinating story and well worth reading.
