WWE Releases Finlay
WWE RELEASES TOP BACKSTAGE NAME
http://pwinsider.com/article/56522/w...-name.html?p=1 By Mike Johnson on 2011-03-29 12:45:38 World Wrestling Entertainment released their top Producer/Agent Dave Finlay yesterday, PWInsider.com has confirmed. The story making the rounds is that The Miz was booked to come out and interrupt the national anthem during a house show in Champaign, IL over the weekend in order to cut a promo that would set up himself vs. Randy Orton to open the card. There were a number of representatives for the National Guard, who are a HUGE partner and sponsor for WWE, in attendance. Obviously, they were not pleased with the anthem being used to get heel heat. When word made it's way back to WWE management, the decision was made to release Finlay, who as the top Producer of the show, "had to fall on the sword", as it was described to me. There were a lot of shocked people within the company today as word began to make the rounds among the wrestlers and staff. Finlay was well liked and more than a few people I spoke to hoped that it was a situation where he was let go only to be brought back down the line. -------------------------------------- Yeah, kinda shitty it went down that way, but Im sure he'll get his job back. |

Even so, going so far as firing somebody is a little retarded, reminds of when Daniel Bryan was first released. I bet Daniel Bryan wins at Wrestlemania BTW.

I don't care for Finlay but my thoughts are
"Aw poor babies, they couldn't the handle anthem being used to get heel heat in a wrestling show?" lol Last edited by dronepool; 03-29-2011 at 01:47 PM. |

Two Things.
1. Finlay wouldn't get "Released" in this regard. As an agent, isn't he actually an employee. He would have been fired, not "released." 2. How much money is the National Guard (aka the GOVERNMENT) paying the WWE for this sponsorship? Could that money be better spent elsewhere? |

So wait, they're angry because he came up with a brilliant way to get the Miz more heat? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they want people booing the heels? Jesus Christ. It's not like he took a shit on the American flag.

Maybe Finlay wanted to show her his brand new shillelagh he recently bought and she thought it was something else and got offended.

We are in 2 wars, and people are sensative to that shit. If you dont get why they fired him , you are naive. This is the type of shit that leads to bad PR. Tons of people would be pissed.
And I am sure the National Guard wasnt too happy to be brought in for a ceremony only to have it turned into a fucking house show angle. |

I'm guessing that if what happens on this video at 2:08 happened today, WWE would get shut down or something, then:
