PWTorch Exclusives EXCLUSIVE: Break these unwritten rules in WWE and be the subject of Vince McMahon's wrath
Mar 26, 2012 - 4:39:14 PM
Earlier this weekend we published a story featuring former WWE Creative Team member Andrew Goldstein talking about how he found out the hard way about unwritten rules in WWE when you go to work there, specifically not to bring up Undertaker's "American Badass" gimmick.
On a recent PWTorch Livecast, I asked Goldstein about other unwritten rules other that he could remember. He said: "Other unwritten rules? You could do a whole one hour podcast on the unwritten rules of WWE." Then he listed these:
-Don't put your hands in the peanut jar, pour the peanuts into your hands.
-Don't sneeze or yawn in front of Vince.
-Don't email talent you're in charge of. Call them and reach them.
Over the years, many people who have worked in WWE have said there are many unwritten rules not just for writers and not just for Vince McMahon, but also locker room etiquitte around wrestlers (such as shaking hands with everyone when you get to the building, which Sean Waltman on a recent Livecast said is a tradition he would like to see go away). Newer roster members should not upgrade to first class on airplanes because first class seating is for senior members of the roster and management teams.
