You no doubt did the right thing. The pressure on these guys is astronomical.
I think I did the right thing. Even at my tender age of 22 coming out of college, already one of my universal truths of life was to never work for (essentially) a family business. Strange places.
I interviewed with the VP of Arena Booking at the time, Ed Cohen. Nice guy and we hit it off. I spent the day at WWE and interviewed in many departments, and spent much of the day with Ed. He is an oldschool fan so we just ended up going down memory lane about wrestling from the 1970s and early 80s! I didn’t pursue a job with WWF seriously, but stayed in touch with Ed now and then, since we got along so well. Nice, nice man. He was there for a long time and I know he ended up having some health problems. I don’t know if he is still there. Super guy.
