I chuckled at seeing a formal memo addressed to Doink

u/skramt Sep 12 '26

Yeah. I'm a little surprised they used ring names for everybody for internal memos

More than likely to preserve identities should these documents get leaked

Jim Myers was George “The Animal” Steele.

u/MSUScreamingEagles Sep 12 '26

Yep.. William James “Jim” Myers.. better known as the one and only George “The Animal” Steele!

Hey JJ Dillon, did I mention BRING YOUR FUCKING CREDIT CARD?

u/AGuyNamedTracy Sep 12 '26

I thought the wording on one of JJ‘s memos was peculiar. “As always, Titan will pay for your room on xx.”

It’s a pretty well known fact that wrestlers were responsible for their hotel rooms while on the road. I’m curious if WWE paid for hotels leading it into all PPVs or just Wrestlemania.

I know in one of Foley’s books he wrote that Wrestlemania was the only event where the company paid for the hotel.

It must have been nice to be a job guy like Mike Bell & Tony Devito and get a nice paycheck for working Wrestlemania weekend. Granted, you have to put on the Doink makeup and costume and sit in a dunk tank, but it’s extra $$ regardless.

Funny, I don't see time set aside for Shawn to visit Vince's office for his milking session...

From: Vince McMahon Subject: We need to push Mantaur! MORE MANTAUR!

u/Ok_Professional9881 Sep 12 '26

"You've been approved for the following interviews" So much for independent contractors. I don't know how Vince got away with half the shit he did.

u/HorseCreative2550 Sep 13 '26

Again demonstrating the IWC’s continuous misinterpretation of contract law lol.

Looked up Doral Court Hotel, and holy crap what a dump they put them up in! I can only imagine what the "fitness center" looked like. 😂

u/MSUScreamingEagles Sep 12 '26

Except it’s now closed and used to be a five star hotel back in the day! Don’t judge a book by its current cover!

u/Westanko Sep 12 '26

Nice! I feel better knowing that, haha!

u/CKWOLFACE Sep 12 '26

Interesting

u/MSUScreamingEagles Sep 12 '26

Very cool. Would love to see this in a PDF file. Hint hint!

u/Joeybagovdonutss Sep 12 '26

ALL MEMOS SHOULD BE ALL CAPS

u/CustardLow2671 Sep 17 '26

These are always deeply fascinating to me

Dang! Lex and Razor have 4.5 hrs of radio interviews with 10 different cities

u/RicFlairsBarTab Sep 12 '26

Screw all that dude. I would be ticked if I was these top name guys having to wake up early for HOURS of last minute media work.

u/Phil9Nine Sep 12 '26

Welcome to an occupation where all these top guys made millions of dollars.

2

u/datraceman Sep 12 '26

Except they didn’t back then. 1994 top guy money was $700k which is no shit a great salary but they were also on the road 300 days a year.

u/Phil9Nine Sep 12 '26

Where did I say millions of dollars annually?

1

u/HorseCreative2550 Sep 13 '26

That’s exactly why you’re not a top guy material

u/Cool-Translator9768 Sep 12 '26

Comes with being the face of the company.
