27th
I spent 6 months of my life, writing and producing on WWE Raw, in what I call the “dark period” of my 20’s. Usually people want me to talk about this surreal job, about my experiences and why it was so hellish creatively, but it’s just too much to get into really, and I just want to pretend it never happened. BUT, I found a healthy way to explain all of that in just over 2 minutes. Here’s what you do: watch the video above, then realize I was a writer on this bit (so, there’s an answer for you, Stryker), and a producer on what would be this final product shown LIVE on TV. Then think about how it was probably originally pitched, written and set up, until about 3 seconds before we went live - and then this idea became the “best one.” Gun in mouth. But in better news, I did write the joke a week later, where she comes back to Vince complaining about a new sickness, “Labia-gytis.” So, 2 guns in mouth.
footnote - This is the first time I’ve seen this since it was actually filmed in front of me, and now I actually am sort of depressed about even writing I had something to do with this. Not just Tumblr sarcasm.
-_-
How did someone write this scene? How does this get shot? How is this happening? What planet am I on?
