As of December 2015, WWE has had a “Managing Lead Writer” (actual job title) by the name of Tom Casiello. Casiello comes from the soap opera world where he won an Emmy Award for outstanding writing for the show “Young and the Restless” in 2011, and 2 more Emmys while writing for “As the World Turns” in 2001 & 2002. He also has a writer’s guild award for “outstanding achievement in daytime episodic writing” in 2010. And between 2006 & 2008 he was “Associate Head Writer” for Days of Our Lives.
He actually first started with WWE as a writer in April 2011. He eventually worked his way into being the lead writer for the NXT: Redemption show between September 2011 until May 2012. In October of 2012 he was given the job as lead writer for Main Event, a position he would hold until September 2014, when he would leave the company to be a freelance writer.
He would work casually with WWE during that time, often going to tapings when needed, on a freelance basis. He returned to the company full time in December with the new “managing lead writer” position. His duties include overseeing the writing teams for Raw & Smackdown, as well as some WWE Network shows, WWE Publications, and also works on long term stories throughout the year. Insert your own joke there. He also oversees the scripts for all weekly TV shows.

This morning we were joined by Crazy Train/The Wasteland Zombies singer Chris Waddell. Chris was in to talk about this weekends 4th annual Maritime Metal & Hard Rock festival happening in Windsor, Nova Scotia at the Hant’s County Fair Grounds. The festival runs from Friday July 22 to Sunday July 23 (The early hours of Sunday!)
Lynn Miles our guest today on Rosie Morning.
On this weekends episode of The Crazy Train our guests were one of Fredericton’s most promising new up and coming Metal bands ‘Soulstice’. Having won the Leo Hayes school battle of the bands the guys from ‘Soulstice’ entered into a local recording studio just a few weeks ago to record a smoking track called ‘Apocalypse’ (personally one of my favorite new local Metal songs to come out this year. The guys, Enzo and Konnor are soon to graduate from high school and the bands guitarist, song-writer Ezra has just graduated. Like ‘Anesthesia’ these young guys are filled with great ideas, burgeoning talent and loads of ambition. I can’t wait to see what else the guys have in store for us. If you didn’t catch them on Sunday July 11 at the Charlotte St. Arts Center, you can catch them playing at East Coast Awakening on Saturday, July 30th (more info on that in the episode).
