That's too bad.
|
More of Vince's old guard leaving is interesting.
Either that means Vince is getting closer to deciding when he wants to step down or things might get worse soon for WWE since his inner circle shrunk again and less people around to help keep him in check. |
Sarah Stock who was furloughed earlier this year has been let go fully.
|
I get the cuts before, when at the start of everything and uncertainties with Covid.
Now though, after they did all those previous cuts and then had record profits last quarter, I just don't get it. They are guaranteed to make a profit even if they fire nobody. |
Maybe they don't fit WWE's scheme.
|
Gonna be weird with Bray now that they canned his dad
|
Weird like how he left his family for an early 20's ring announcer weird?

According to PWI, yesterday's wave of cuts was over 60 people in total and all from the staff side of the company.

I don't think the releases are specifically about saving money. That's obviously a side effect that the WWE is happy about. I think it's more about them pulling up their conservative pants and serving a smokescreen in the business world because Vince wants to fit in with his rich buddies. He'll take the heat for publicly firing people during an epidemic. It means other companies with less secure structures can make cuts that are more important to them than the WWE's are to them.

What a weird theory
|
cuts are due to redundancy. without running 2 touring crews 300 days a year you simply dont need as many people.
|
so the release are about saving money? are they saving money in the demo tho????
that's really the only place it actually matters. |
its not about saving money. its about not wasting money. prior you needed 3 guys doing the same job scattered about the country. you need 1 now. there's less work. this is pretty straight forward. there are fewer jobs.
|
so they're saving some $$$
|
According to PWI, seems the recent round of cutbacks was higher than previously assumed.
Both PWI and Observer initially reported it was in the 60-70 range with PWI reporting the low end and Observer reporting the high end. Based on a recent update, the real number is currently believed to be even higher. Quote:

Fightful had an update regarding the cost cutting measures going on in WWE despite the company posting their most profitable quarters ever even with the coronavirus pandemic ravaging their original fiscal plans.

Destor's right. You can have personal feelings about that either way, but I don't think that posting record quarters or Triple H selling his stock has got shit to do with anything.

Tony Chimel has been let go
|
But have the fans let go of Tony Chimel? Just think about it.

It's a work. She's joining Retribution. Then she'll be drafted by the RAW brand.

Released within 10 minutes of posting that. |
I have a feeling she requested her release over the Twitch stuff. And once it was granted, she posted that. But still, woof.
|
Is she a big Twitcher or something?
|
so we will find out she was the one who shot bravo
|
She'll be in AEW in a heart beat.

She makes quite a bit from the virgins drooling over her onlyfans with her cosplaying.
|
Nice to see her take a stand. I hope others start doing so in the next 24 hours.
|
wonder what they will do with paige, they might as well let her go.
|
Zelina is trending pretty strongly.

Wonder what that means for Aleister Black.
|
It would be so nice to see a legit established star just tweet out about how horseshit it is that Zelina just got fired.
But no one in that company has nuts. Except Paige. |

According to Dave Meltzer, issues with Vega's OnlyFans account likely was the cause of her release considering WWE's recent ban over talent using third party services and making extra money on the side that WWE doesn't get their grubby hands on.
Post Wrestling's John Pollock also reported that the decision to release her was made well before her tweet about unionization was sent. Just some really poor timing on WWE's end for their release tweet. |
