@Always-Right Liggins came up with a couple of the hottest storylines Smackdown has seen in the past decade

 

[TR7]

I like how "Plugged into Pop Culture" is a requirement

"So, do you read TMZ every day or watch Entertainment Tonight?"

"No, but I have prior experience writing for wrestling and I have a great knowledge of the history of the business as I've watched since I was a kid"

"Get the fukk out of here"

 

[BeefWellingtonThe2nd]

So the word "Wrestling" isnt in this advert..not once.

[El Cocodrilo]

If I had the experience I would try to get the job just for the fukkery.

I'd get fired within 24 hours when I tell cokeboy, Stephanie or Kevin Dunn, "you're simply wrong and you need to smarten the fukk up"

 

[Da King]

Now is my chance :2wow:

 

[JerseyBoy23]

I actually applied for a social media producer job last week. Hopefully I wouldn't have to work with Del Rio's perpetrator.

I'm more on the journalistic/social media side so they'd probably chuck my application in the bin

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

"You're fired!"

"I know, I just want to say thank you for the opportu..."

"You're fired, Patrice! You're fired!"

"I understand that, I'm just..."

"You're fired!"
