I always hear the opposite- they hate wrestling fans and won't hire them as writers. I know Cornette for one has said it.
Did Prince Jr. state he was a wrestling fan before being signed by the WWe? Then again he was stepped over and ignored until he quit.
He was a RAW guest host before he was a company employee, and he'd said on more than one occasion in interviews that he was a big wrestling fan.

Actually, his guest host gig was AFTER his first run on creative. His second (and current) run came after he guest hosted.

I think the last wrestling fan Vince hired before FPJr was a loud mouth in New York who had his own wrestling radio show.
Was I right? Isn't that what Russo did? | thecubsfan

I think there's probably a difference between fans and fanboys. I could see why they wouldn't want a guy who reads at a third grade level, lives in his mother's basement and still plays with action figures at 36.

I believe it about as much as I believe a pretty girl who tells a homely guy "It's not you, it's me."
