BREAKING: WWE fires lead writer of RAW (but not bc of ratings...)

Quote:

Fightful learned on Monday that one of RAW's lead writers, Ryan Callahan, has been fired by WWE. He had been with the company for several years.

We're told that the firing actually has nothing to do with ratings, viewership, storylines or anything of the sort. Instead, we're told that Callahan had an issue with Dave Kapoor, who portrayed Rainjin Singh on TV for years. Kapoor felt that Callahan took creative changes a little too personally and wanted to make an example of him. Callahan was subsequently fired the evening of Thursday, May 2.

Legit those guys are stealing a paycheck every single week.

I don't know what Vince pays them, but if they are getting anything over $50 a week they are some of the best con-men in the world.
