Just under a year ago, Max Landis showed up on the radar when he released “Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling,” a YouTube short (embedded above) about how how awesome the weird drama of pro wrestling storylines can be. WWE acknowledged it once it blew up, and Landis became more of an ongoing presence to wrestling fans, most visibly buying pizzas for all of the fans in attendance at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s shows in southern California. Then, on Friday, he revealed (about 15 mins in) on #TableTalk (https://www.vessel.com/videos/QIrlaK9pB), a video podcast, that he’s been a consultant on Monday Night Raw since not long after the release of “Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling.”
Landis said that none of his ideas have really been used, but he was contacted by NBC Universal to help with the show and his contract is almost up. The way he explains it is a little confusing as far as if he works for WWE or NBC Universal, but most likely it’s with WWE after NBC Universal made the connection. WWE has a lot of consultants nobody ever hears about, as it’s a role they use to pay older wrestlers they want to help out. Make sure to check out the video to hear Landis’s thoughts on how Raw is best laid out: The gist is that he doesn’t like when Raw is a disconnected “variety show,” instead preferring when the big moments effect the other segments throughout the show.
