1. Don't Tweet Any Racism

This probably goes without saying but: don't ever be racist in public if you want a job with a high profile, public company. No matter how compelled you might feel, writing bigoted comments on Twitter (or failing to delete any from your murky, less mature past) is just not okay in the eyes of the recruiters. Or indeed the police.

Just ask Jessicka Havok, whose deletion marathon on her old Tweets wasn't quite quick enough to stop her homophobic and racial slurs - including one directed at Mark Henry - being shared virally just as she was getting into WWE's good books. No amount of blaming it on an unhinged ex who used to play on her phone was ever going to work, and neither did the public apology she then removed.

Up until then, NXT management were super impressed, but then the roof caved in, unsurprisingly. And now she's a morality lesson for everyone who wants a chance with WWE.
