| #2 Posted on 10.7.02 1357.36 Reposted on: 10.7.09 1359.01 | I think it would be really cool to be a ref. Sometimes I think it would be more fun than being a wrestler, actually. Especially if you have the experience of Earl Hebner and get to be involved in all the major happenings.
And I'm surprised they are actual advertising for employees.

| #7 Posted on 11.7.02 0434.47 Reposted on: 11.7.09 0436.00 | This is my probably my second favourite job choice were I to actually go into wrestling (first being PBP announcer) but now I shall list the big reasons I'm not applying:
1) Probably older than they're looking for 2) Not in cardio shape [and unwilling to go into training to get back there :)] 3) Most importantly, unable to absorb the inevitable pay cut which would differentiate the job I've currently got and that one
I think there's a more important question here, and that is: which refs are they letting go? I can't see them needing MORE without some disappearing first. I know Tim White has been there something like twenty years - maybe his shoulder injury is career-threatening? Earl Hebner's been there probably about that long as well. Jack Doan debuted at WM9 after a long stint as a ring attendant, so he's over a decade. And Mike Chioda used to have the best permed mullet in the business! I can't see any of these guys quitting.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen Teddy Long for nearly a month...hmmmmmm? | DMC

| #8 Posted on 11.7.02 1119.59 Reposted on: 11.7.09 1129.01 | CRZ, comparing you to the ages of most the refs currently on the roster you are very young by comparison. Why would you say age would be a factor in your case?
The not being in shape thing is a better reason, but don't they have some refs with a bit of a gut?

Hey, I've been out of work for seven months(anybody out there need a good administrative assistant?)and have been considering a change of career. If I only had a shard of experience, I'd consider applying!
Hmm. "Blind Diva". That'd work. What the hell, if I ever decide to stop doing opera/operetta/classical music, I can keep the name and become a blues singer. | DMC

| #14 Posted on 11.7.02 1459.42 Reposted on: 11.7.09 1510.12 | I just sent in my resume. Sure, I have no true wrestling experience, but I was the Syracuse University mascot for three years. I think that's about as close to getting the right kind of experience as you can get without wrestling school. Plus, I'm local.
Unless you count substitute teaching (which isn't full time), I've been unemployed since last September. I've got nothing to lose.
At 5'6" I never thought I'd be a wrestler, but I have definitely dreamed of being a ref (or a booker/writer). Wish me luck! | drjayphd

If I had a choice of job in wrestling I would go with Funky. I always thought that being a Stevie Richards type flunky looked like a lot of fun. That or a character development type deal, fuck being a booker/writer. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
