The knock on members of the creative team is that they are all “Hollywood writers who don’t know wrestling.  Sean Conaway did it the reverse way.  A huge wrestling fan in college, Sean interned at the WWE Studios in the hopes that he could be on the WWE Creative team.  At age 21, he did.  But instead of becoming a “lifer”, Sean decided to move to Los Angeles and chase his Hollywood writing dream.  After six years, Sean has gotten his first script on the Fox TV Show – “Raising Hope” and that episode airs on 4/26 at 9:30pm on FOX.  Hear the entire podcast here…
