#3 Andrew Goldstein
Another former writer to leave the company but remain within the television industry is Andrew Goldstein. Working primarily on ECW and SmackDown, Goldstein joined the company back in 2006 before leaving the very same year.
Since then, he’s been credited with writing various TV shows. IMDB cites Uncommon Sense with Charlamagne and a number of MTV specials on his résumé, whilst he was also a producer for VH1 where he worked on Big Morning Buzz Live for a couple of years.
Add in the podcast that he also co-hosts—the fittingly named ‘Sorry I’ve Been So Busy’—and somehow his schedule post-WWE sounds even more hectic than the one he had whilst working for the company.
On top of all that, he still has time to maintain some ties to the world of pro-wrestling, contributing guest pieces for sites like Complex and ESPN, including his recent article speculating “how the WWE would script Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor”.
