Here's something to chew on...and it ain't an April Fools joke...or maybe it is. But I *think* Scherer is above that -he can make his points without subjecting his audience to tomfoolery.

from 1wrestling.com

* * * * * *

Note: The following column was sent to the site by someone who told us that he is a very frustrated, current WWE wrestler. He said that he did not want to reveal his name to us, for obvious reasons. I made the decision to run the column because the things said in this column completely echo things that many WWE wrestlers have told me in the last week or two. So, even if this isn't a current WWE wrestler (and I am not saying it is or isn't since I have no way to corroborate it), I can tell you that there are a number of current WWE wrestlers who feel the same way as the writer of this column does. So, whoever Willie is, I can tell you that what he writes in this column definitely reflects the feelings of many WWE wrestlers right now. --- Dave Scherer

Never did I think I'd sit down and pen a column for 1Wrestling about my frustrations and concerns regarding the current WWE product. However, it's not like I have an open forum to do so. I can't exactly can go and post a column on their website talking about all the things they are doing wrong right now. There have been several times when I have wanted to contact Dave Scherer and ask him to let me write an anonymous column in the past, but I never got the balls to do it. But after sitting in the locker room this past Sunday at WrestleMania watching it on the monitors, when I should have been somehow factored into the event, watching my peers perform in front of such an amazing live crowd; I've decided it's time that I spoke my mind.

Now I'm not going to say who I am, I mean, that would be career suicide. I'll just pen this column as "Willie The Worker."

So, let me get this straight. I'm good enough to be on the road with WWE for almost 300 days a year, busting my ass and being away from my family, but I'm not good enough to be a part of their biggest show of the year? They couldn't even throw me a backstage interview or a run-in? Get real. I've been with that company for many years now and I'd like to think that I'm of at least some value to the company. Well, at least I thought I was. However, given the fact that they found spots for Nathan Jones, Albert and the Miller Lite Cat Fight Girls but not myself or many other deserving wrestlers boggles my mind.

Now I have nothing against Albert. Matt is a real nice guy and has always been cool with me. But come on already. How many times are they going to try with this guy? They have been trying to push him down the throats of our fans for years now and he's just not connecting with the crowd. But he continues to get chance after chance because he's a huge guy and Vince is a mark for big guys. I dare to say that they probably sold more merchandise of me at WrestleMania on Sunday than Albert has even drawn for the company in all the years he's been there.

Don't even get me started on Nathan Jones. The guy is a putz. He's the joke of the locker room. Well, maybe the joke is on myself and all the other guys that have busted our asses for the company throughout the years because he had a WrestleMania spot and we didn't. This is what really makes me hot. What dues has this guy ever paid? All he's done since being here has been to hurt guys in dark matches and mess up moves. But yeah, let's give him one of the WrestleMania paydays that are available when it could have gone to at least thirty other more deserving guys that I can think of off the top of my head, myself very much included.

They didn't have enough time on the PPV for Kane, who's been with the company for many years, and RVD, who's without a doubt one of the most over performers we have. But yeah, let's give the Miller Lite Cat Fight Girls ten minutes to go out there and hit each other with the worst pillow shots I've ever seen in my entire life. The Miller Lite girls made the show and Kane and RVD didn't? Yeah, that makes a boat load of sense.

What's my point of this column? Heck, I don't even have a point. I'm just so frustrated and hot right now. I guess I just wanted to let the readers know how it feels to be someone that has busted their ass for WWE for many years and then is not even factored into their biggest show of the year. I felt like a jabronie sitting backstage watching all the boys work one of the biggest shows we ever had, knowing that I should have been out there contributing to the great show they had. Instead, guys like Albert and Nathan Jones were out there instead, stinking the building up. Those guys couldn't lace up my boots.

Yup, that's Vince for ya.

Sincerely,
"Willie The Worker"

* * * * * * *

ain't that something? and here is the closer...

Dave: You can send Willie feedback at info2@1wrestling.com?Subject=Willie The Worker. He has told me that if people like and respond to his columns, he would like to write more.

* * * * * *

It's not my place to question the legitimacy of this. But Goddamn. Although based on his attitude and the rumored "house cleaning", a gig for the IWC may be his best offer.

Just finished reading that on 1wrestling.... I wonder how legitimate it is. Virtually anyone could have written the same complaints. The `Nathan Jones is the locker room joke' was reported in the Torch a few weeks ago.... also, almost all of those complaints were ones that numerous people have made on the `Net.
I don't know; I don't doubt Scherer's integrity or anything, I just wonder whether ``Willie'' is legit or not.

I cant help but wonder why he refers to WWE as "that company" if he's been with them for so "many years". I dont know.

If it IS legit, I put my money on the letter coming from either Kane or Bubba Ray. I'm leaning more towards Kane.

If this was REAL, this person would be incredibly stupid. You could take the "I've sold more merchandise than Albert" line, and the complaining about big guys getting favors, and all the other little hints, and narrow down the suspects quick. It's really not that anoymous and if it's legit or not, it's gonna take very little time for some fingers to get pointed at people.

I think it's far more likely someone fooling Scherer (not impossible, we know) and stiring up trouble perhaps under the pretense of an April Fools Joke. Someone's gonna get burned, tho'

I bet that joker Scaia wrote it and then SENT IT to Scherer. And people thought the funnyman wouldn't strike again this year!

I have absolutely no belief whatsoever that this is actually a WWE employee, especially given the goofy "if you like this he might write again (giggle giggle, high five Ryder)" postscript. However, for the fun of it if I had to guess who Willie really was, I would go with Jeff Hardy because he's been in the company for years, sells more merchandise than almost anyone and didn't appear at Wrestlemania.

If it was Spike, it would've had better grammar.

``Willie'' (nudge nudge wink wink) talks about how nice a guy Albert is, and how Nathan Jones is the locker room joke... sounds to me like, if he did exist, he'd be on the SmackDown side of things.

If its legit, which is very doubtful, I agree with Jay that this has Jeff Hardy written all over it. Number of years/merchandise/little guy/not wanting to see scantily clad women. If that doesn't say Jeff Hardy, nothing does.

Is it really possible to hit someone with a GOOD pillow shot?

My guess? Tom Zenk. The Z-Man strikes again!

If it is a worker, another guy could be Christian. I don't know how much stuff the Brood/E&C/Christian has sold, but in 2000 and 2001 he was in amazing matches, and was on the card in 2002... and off in 2003 of course. And the guy has insane talent, and has been doing great all year, but gets nothin!

I'm leaning toward Jeff Hardy, personally. He's got a lot of merchandise, wasn't on the Mania card, worked with Albert a ton...and one of the guys that Jones reportedly injured in one of his early WWE matches was...Matt Hardy.

But who knows. It's 1wrestling.com. Their specialty isn't reporting the news, it's stirring shit up.

HAHAHAA I was thinking the same thing Big Bad. You know those Japanese Pillow fight work rate is much higher then these Miller Lite Girls... Well if Trish was involved (and thank gawd she wasn't) she'd be bumping off the bed like a possessed Linda Blair from each weak pillow shot LoL.

I few stuff I found funny "Now I have nothing against Albert. Matt is a real nice guy"... I though Alberts first name is Prince. If I was writing it for real I'd write "He's a nice guy". Adding his real name seems very smarkish, I have inside knowledge type of feel to it.

he's a huge guy and Vince is a mark for big guys... Sorry Frosty but this writer must feel that Vince has a big man loving bias and both Bubba and Kane are in the big man bracket. Even thought Bubba might be in that big man bubble but Kane definitely is a big man.

Some other candidates are Jeff Hardy, but he's so full of his Imagi-Nation I doubt he cares and from recent gossip, he the last person to talk about houseshow edict. Spike has been mentioned but I don't know if he sold any merchandise of his own... Of course the most noticeable name off the 4 hour PPV was RVD, but dude RVD is so mellow, how can he be so bitter. But if the user email name has 420 in it or was send in or around 4:20AM, it might be RVD, but then again it's way too well written to be 420 message from Rob.

This has hoax written all over it, A WWE Wrestler just 24 hours from WrestleMania felt the need to rant to 1wrestling while still on the road. Don't buy it.

THANK YOU. I thought I was the only one who enjoyed that part of SNL.

As for the article, I think it reeks of suspision. I'm suprised no one mentioned RVD or Jericho (inspite pf the fact they're on RAW).

Your forgetting if it was Rob around 4:20, it would heep so much praise on the WWE it's not funny.
"Hey dogs, I was on the Heat and the Mania dog, and like Vince hahahhahaha Vince was looking at me man, and I love that guy cause he's like no one gets higher than RV.... oops I can't say who I am man, cause this is all secret, but I just like laughed at Vince and shook his hand cause I love him so much dawg!"

Assuming this letter is legit and assuming it's a Smackdown wrestler due to the name-dropping of Albert and Nathan Jones, there seems to be one guy, IMO, who fits the description of the letter's author (longtime WWE wrestler, small guy, available to be used at WM but not)...
