You may have noticed that after every WWE pay-per-view, there are often a lot of actors and wrestlers who end up working for WWE full-time. It seems that some people just really like spending their time inside the WWE Universe!
However, what is surprising is that not all the people who work for WWE after attending a show are signed up for the full-time program. In fact, there are a lot of different reasons why these seemingly “perfect” candidates do not want to work for WWE full-time.
Here, we will discuss the various options available to WWE fans who do not want to work for the company anymore and why some people may not want to continue with the full-time program.
Option 1: Work for a Brand Outside WWE
This is something that a lot of fans wanted to do, but were not able to due to circumstances. If you were fired from WWE or left the company involuntarily, there are many brands that you can apply to and get a job. This is usually the best option for fans who genuinely want to continue working in the industry, but do not want to commit to full-time hours just yet.
There are a number of well-known brands out there, and if you can get an audition tape, you will definitely get the job. The downside is that you will not be able to develop your career within WWE, so you will have to start from the ground up if you want to advance. However, that is what you signed up for when you became a fan of WWE in the first place!
Option 2: Start your Own Company
For those who can afford it, this is the dream-come-true for any professional in the industry. Imagine being able to build a company from the ground up, create your own opportunities, and shape your own future. Starting your own company is a challenging task, but if you can pull it off, you can truly change your life forever!
There are many different paths that you can take to make this dream a reality. You can either start a business and see how it goes or you can register a business trademark and see what happens.
Option 3: Join a Company After Attending WWE Retreats
This is another great option for fans who really want to work in the industry but cannot due to circumstances. After you have been to a number of WWE Retreats, they will eventually invite you to join the company as a Producer or Executive Producer. Once you are part of the WWE family, they will give you the opportunity to pursue other projects and get more involved with the company. This is usually the perfect option for fans who really want to continue working in the industry but do not want to rush into becoming a full-time employee just yet.
The downside is that joining a company this way does not guarantee a spot in the full-time program. However, it is a great starting point for those who are looking to get more involved in the industry. You will not get the opportunity to build your own career path unless you are already connected to the company in some way.
Option 4: Start a Blog and Get Involved with the Industry
There are many platforms that you can use to get involved in the industry. One of the most effective things that you can do is to start a blog. It does not have to be professional in any way, and you can use it to share your opinions on different topics. Just remember that you should always be respectful when talking about other people or brands.
Blogs are great platforms to build a reputation, and the more that you can interact with your readers, the better. You can put out a lot of content regularly, and if you build up a big enough audience, they may even offer you a spot on their blog network. Once you are part of the network, you can use their platform to promote your blog and gain more readers.
Option 5: Make an App
If none of the above seem like a perfect fit for you, you can always make an app. This is especially popular among fans who want to stay connected to the industry even when they are not at a computer. If you can build a good enough app, you can get paid for distributing it. However, this is a fairly competitive industry, so you have to make sure that you build an app that is going to be profitable. You can also specialize in certain areas, such as news or sports, and build up a following in those areas. This way, you will be able to monetize your work even when you are not making money directly from the product that you are creating.
The Bottom Line
Whether you decide to join a company or start a blog, you are bound to have questions about how to make the most of your opportunity. Fortunately, this industry is evolving, and new opportunities are opening up all the time. If you are looking for a new challenge, or want to continue working in the industry, do not hesitate to reach out! Good luck out there.
