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.
Kevin Christopher Sullivan has been writing online professionally since 1999, which makes him probably older than you. He's written for sites such as Uproxx and Austin.com. He's also performed stand-up comedy, attended Butt-Numb-A-Thon and E3, and owns some pretty cool t-shirts. He lives outside of Austin, TX with his wife, daughter and four annoying cats. And, yes, he knows who he has the same name as.
When he's not watching and writing about wrestling, he's probably playing video games, advocating for mental health issues, or yelling at something in his house for not "working the way it's supposed do, dang it!"
