WWE Wrestler Speaks Out? You be the judge!

[Silly Puddy]

OK, I'm not going to vouvh for the accuracy of this, but I figured it may be interesting for people out there. And BTW, if this is truly a letter from a WWE wrestler, my bet is on Christian....

[quote]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 make

[TeRRoR]

i say it is jeff hardy, hardcore holly, umm... that one dude from tough enough... AL SNOW(possibly)... because he talks to that guy a lot.

or it could actually be rob van dam or kane themselves how just last year they were main eventers, but because of triple H they are nothings now because triple H with his slow ass wrestling and can't lose to anyone and if he does lose its by DQ.

bill demott. i doubt it is him...

for some reason, im sayin if it is true, it is al snow, rob van dam, kane, jeff hardy(because he does bust his ass for teh company and gets no respect). hardcore holly also.

it cannot be the APA because they are both rehabbing right now... unless it could be them reguarding a run-in. but in all honesty, who knows

I'll go with Christian. He did so much for the tag division and just gets shit on now.

Wow, this guy, if indeed is a WWE wrestler, harbors alot of resentment toward Nathan Jones and Albert. My thinking it is just another internet geek who tried to get over on Dave over at 1wrestling.com

I bet it is Test because he did go on record that he was upset that he couldn't get a match at Wrestlemania.

[SuperClerk]

Wow. Whoever this is is 100% right. I'm leaning towards Al Snow or Christian. It has to be someone who has been there for awhile.

Instead, guys like Albert and Nathan Jones were out there instead, stinking the building up. Those guys couldn't lace up my boots

Now THAT would be funny!

Seriously, no way. The person who wrote this (IF it's true) talked about Vince's love of big guys. That's the only thing Test has going for him, so he wouldn't say this. Plus, he's banging Stacy Keibler, and he definitely owes that to Vince.

I got four guesses: Test, Christian, Snow or Rikishi. Rikishi is my pick.

Gotta love the honesty though.

[Silly Puddy]

Another thing. The name "Willie the worker" sounds like something one the sillier guys in the WWE would come up with. That definitely rules out the no-personality types like Test. As for Rikishi, he's another guy who's only asset is, well, his ass. Doesn't fit the profile of the person who wrote this.

I still say Christian. Snow's a longshot, since Vince has taken care of him with the Tough Enough gig.

edit: I don't think it's Jeff Hardy. He hasn't cared about wrestling in a long time. He's said in interviews he's more interested right now in exploring a musical career. Plus, if you watch his matches, you see a guy who just going through the motions with no energy. I don't see him caring enough right now to write this.

And if you don't think Christian's sold merchandise, back in the Edge & Christian days their T-shirts and other stuff (sunglasses, posters, etc.) often made the WWE Shopzone Top 10 items. Sure, most of that may have been for Edge, but Chrisitian's got an ego like everyone else and might think he's the reason their stuff sold.

It is someone who I guess sells a lot of merchandise. That is hurricane and Test and his testicles.

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.


It is definitely not Al SNow as he has Tough Enough and is barely on anyway.

You have to figure it is someone who is on tv a lot. I don't think it is Hurricane because he has gotten a huge push with Rock and is happy with his role. It is between Test and Christian and maybe Goldust on Raw. Looking at Smackdown's roster anyone good or on tv had a match or was injured.

[The Nature Boy]

I was instantly thinking Hardy, but I didn't realize there was heat on him. I couldn't believe he wasn't on the card.

I could see Christian, but he's always sucked in my book, and I can't see him having this big a head on him. I mean, Hardy, I don't care WHAT he did, the man is a star waiting to happen. Why not involve him in the Michaels-Jericho match? And while we're on topic, how great a triple threat could that have been(but I won't knock a near perfect match).

And given the push Hurricane got, pinning Rock and what not, he should have most DEFINATELY been on the card. Why not a Christian vs. Hurricane squash and make a lot of people happy?

I don't care about the WWF politics of their locker room. I don't care if RVD stuck his dick in the catering mash potatoes, I PAY TO SEE HIS ASS ON THE CARD!!! The customer is always right, damn it!!! Hell, I thought Flair even deserved a match!

But I will say this, whoever wrote this is a pussy, if it is infact a worker. I still have major doubts that a worker would pen this. Other than Albert, who should they have appeared over? The Miller Lite Girls are so last football season(would have been great on the Survivor Series), and it scares me to think the WWE is this far behind the times(what's next, a match between the "Wassssup" guys?). But, I"m sure somewhere, some how, this MAY have generated a few extra buys, that a Christian/Test match wouldn't. This is all about making money.

But if Hardy wrote, this, I'd take heart. That guy has laid his ass on the line for the company so many times, it's hard to keep track, and he'll probably be crippled in his old age, and he was good enough to literally risk his life at the last two Wrestlemania TLC matches(taking far and away the highest impact bumps in each) , but he can't get on the card? Again, I don't care if he's late to a meeting, he's what we love to see, and he's the guy the WWE uses to advertise their product(amongst other risk takers, they sure aren't using HHHIV's sledgehammer shots).

The 2 that come to mind are Christian and Goldust. Christian was kicking ass for a while with Y2J, then just abandoned. Typically WWE, get what you need out of a guy then push him to the side.

Goldust is also a good pick, he seems like he might write something like that. Plus, he's been with the company for a long time.

[HAMMERHEAD]

It's gotta be Test, if not him then either Rikishi or Hardcore Holly.

[who6489]

There's no way it would be Holly or Christian. I don't think either of them sells that much merchandise.
The guys who do sell stuff are Test, Goldust, Jeff Hardy, & Hurricane. No one from Smackdown was left off the card that matters for the most part, except Funaki (LOL) Even Rikishi knows he's on the downslide at this point.
I'm gonna go with Jeff. He's very over with the fans, and he's been a 'Mania mainstay the past few years.
He also seems like the type to shoot off his mouth.
I might have been Goldy, since he just had the Howard Stern appearance, which was on last night. An OK show, but Artie was funny rippin' on him.
I doubt Test, because without Stacy, he'd be a Heat regular.
I also doubt Hurricane, because of the Rock rub.

Bottom line... probably Jeff Hardy, if after all this is even true in the first place.

The column made a statement about Vince having a hard-on for big men. Test wouldn't write that.

Willie the Worker has another column up at 1wrestling...apparently he is going to do it a bunch now. here is todays column

http://www.1wrestling.com/columns/landofzog/default.asp?B1=View+Column&articleid=9765

and much like yesterday i agree with him here. what is Vince bringing Sable back for? and i hope they gold old school with Pipers Pit.

[Se7en]

I must say I question the veracity of this whole "Willie" thing, because, well, after all, this IS 1bullshit.com we're talking about.

That said, if we're gonna guess, I'll go with Dustin "Goldust" Runnells. He can't be happy with is current gimmick.

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.


The very foundation of my existence rests upon the belief that this CAN'T be Test. If I found out there are legions of WWE fans buying Test paraphernalia, I may lose the will to live.

But if Hardy wrote, this, I'd take heart. That guy has laid his ass on the line for the company so many times, it's hard to keep track, and he'll probably be crippled in his old age, and he was good enough to literally risk his life at the last two Wrestlemania TLC matches(taking far and away the highest impact bumps in each) , but he can't get on the card?

Oh, I disagree.

Hardy should be FIRED. The guy is the very definition of burnt-out. He hasn't had a decent match in ages, he doesn't have the drive anymore, and his workrate has gotten so goddamn sloppy that he's likely to severely injure himself - or his opponent - at any moment. Plus rumors of constant depression and drug abuse continue. I don't know why this guy gets the golden treatment - I can't figure that a few pops from the female audience members is worth keeping him around.

Se7en, what's the matter, you aren't a testicle!

[Cyclops]

Wow, whomever wrote this article (gotta be Test) is telling it like it is. You know he is just one of many backstage who probably feel that way. I watched Wrestlemania on sunday and really thought it was average. Albert sucks, hes fat slow, and doesnt deserve to even be in the ring with Undertaker. Same goes for Big Show. The WWE reles to heavily on these big guys when guys llike Beniot and Angle always give the best matches. It doesn't look like things are gonna change anytime soon. Too many gimmicks, too little wrestling.

[Heather 8]

Instead, guys like Albert and Nathan Jones were out there instead, stinking the building up. Those guys couldn't lace up my boots.

The ego exploding off this statement just screams Test. Straight shooter or not, whoever wrote this is more than a little full of himself. :)

Ok, I officially have a new path to go down. I was thinking this before reading Willie the Worker's second column, given that Joey "Styles" Merlino owns half of 1bullshit.com. They went out of the way to be very ambigous about the identity of the performer, and the fact he represents the FEELING of the lockerroom(seeming to stress they may be speaking for more than just themselves). And given the verbal blowjob afforded Raven in today's column, my lean would now be toward Paul Heyman or Tommy Dreamer. Now they do not fit all the criteria described, such as being in the WWF forever or selling merchandise(but I don't think the writer ever said that they personally sold lots of merch). But I think the writing could definately reflect either of their attitudes, and Heyman is probably recently disgrunted, given his depush and removal as Smackdown writer. He may feel he has little to lose, knows he can trust Merlino to keep his identity hidden, and is old enough to want to make a difference, since a young guy is less likely to write so effectively, or trust that they'd be obscured. I guess it could be a Dudley boy as well, or any other longtime ECW worker in the WWF(where legitmate pride motivated those boys).

that's a good point Nature Boy. the site has always been pro whatever ECW did. doesn't matter to me though as long as i agree with the person. and if it does somehow reach the writers of WWE and they change things around a bit then its even better. just to throw a name on who i think it could be than i'll go with Dreamer or Heyman also

[Tenbatsuzen]

I'd venture a guess of Hurricane Helms. But considering the push he's getting, plus a cover shot on WWE Magazine, maybe not.

Here's the latest from "Willie the Worker". The more columns this person writes, the more I'm convinced it's not a WWE wrestler. Sucks to admit that, since I started this topic, but that's my current sentiments.

The odd thing is, I was thinking almost the exact same thing as this "Willie" guy proposes here.

i don't know why everyobody hates them. I know that i've never been mislead by something they said and sure they're pro-ECW, that's the sentiment of everybody i know. Dave Scherer isn't some bullshit kid putting up a site, and i'm pretty sure he was ECW's webmaster. But whatever...

I don't actually think that it is a WWE wrestler, but if it was i'd think Goldust or Test (he might just be trying to mislead with the whole Vince and big men comment)

[walking joint]

i agree with this guy again. when Cena was making fun of the rappers on the PPV i thought to myself, and also read someone else here say it, that those aren't the people you want to be messing with or you could end up dead. i think it would be a cool angle. not sure it has to be Cena, but why not.
