This has been really fun to read so far, I'm looking forward to the next update
World Wrestling Federation 2001
in The Dome Retro Room
Posted
Note: I will not be continuing the other diary I had posted a backsotry for, as I do not feel that I can be able to present a realistic scenario (somewhat) for it, as I can for the WWF 2001 scenario, which is what I planned to do.
Backstory
Ah, yes, I woke up this morning knowing that today, November 22, 2000, the World Wrestling Federation would be calling me up to express their interest on whether I should continue my training at the Ohio Valley Wrestling facilities. I had been working real hard lately, making sure to perfect my moves to impress everybody, and to especially not spend another year down in OVW. I had made up my mind, it was either hit or miss. If I hit, great. If I miss, not so great, and I take my bags and go do some indy work. Here I am, a 26 year old wrestler who needs to find a real job outside of wrestling, that is, if I don’t make the WWF. So, I walked to my wooden drawer on the other side of the room, and the phone rang. Nervously, I picked it up, and there was Jim Cornette, head booker of the WWF. He told me that my 5’10”, 185 pound frame would be too small to make it into the WWF.
I was so angry! I took a minute of silence, and some shoes were thrown, before I got back onto the phone and asked Cornette if there was any way possible to land a job with the WWF. Cornette told me flat out that he doubted it, but he would try and talk to Shane McMahon, to see what he could do, since I had a lot of dedication. I continued to do my morning routine. Eating, showering, brushing my teeth…the usual. I had nowhere to go and nothing to do, so I put in my Wrestlemania 2000 VHS, and watched it. During the main event, my phone rang again.
I rushed over to my drawer to pick the phone up. I could not believe my ey—ears…It was Shane McMahon! He told me that he had two options for me. He could either, stick me on the production team in the van, or he could stick he in on the writing team as part of a consultant. I chose the writing team, as that was always my dream. He said he would give me a month tryout, and if I did well, I would officially become the head booker. A little unrealistic, yes, but it happened.
So, on December 22, Shane McMahon called me into his office. We greeted each other, and he told me that the head writer had taken leave for a month, and he put me in charge! If I did well, I would be on full time. I thanked Shane, and got to work. As I left, Shane handed me the roster.
