Arn Anderson Reportedly Let Go By WWE - Wrestling Inc.

WWE has reportedly parted ways with Arn Anderson, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet. While there is no true explanation for the departure, Anderson was apparently let go this past Thursday.

A WWE Hall of Famer, Arn Anderson retired from in-ring competition in 1997 due to neck and back injuries, but still got in the ring for the occasional tag match or bump. Anderson has been a road agent with WWE since WCW folded in 2001. He occasionally appeared in backstage segments over the years, whether that was to offer advice to young superstars or participate in small comedic segments.

One of the original members of the Four Horsemen, "The Enforcer" is a multi-time tag team champion, winning titles with the then-WWF, WCW and NWA.

Although not confirmed, the influx of new road agents like Abyss, Gregory Helms and Daivari may have been a factor in WWE and him parting ways. This news comes just a few days before Ric Flair's birthday celebration on RAW.

Didn't see that coming

Whats the conection between Naitch & Gurley?

:ohhh:

Since last season, the Los Angeles Rams have had a connection with wrestling legend Ric Flair. They’ve used his trademarked “Woooo!” in the locker room after wins, have had him on the sideline for a game and Todd Gurley took a picture with him at “WrestleMania” this year.

It was always a bizarre match between the Rams and Flair, especially given his love for the Falcons, but Gurley shed some light on how he and the Nature Boy came to know each other.

“Well, his daughter actually runs track at Georgia. Obviously, he lives in Georgia and I played at Georgia. Kind of just that connection. Then my close buddy, Kam, works for him. So, that’s kind of how I met Ric,” Gurley told reporters Thursday. “Good guy, man. He’s real cool. He sends me good luck texts like the last two years. So, that’s my guy.”


Flair was on the sideline for the Rams’ win over the Chiefs in Week 11, saying he was there to see his “main man” Gurley. He shared a message for the All-Pro back and the Rams, saying the Chiefs were going “down.”

Unfortunately, Gurley didn’t get to see him before kickoff.

“I didn’t even get a chance to see him. I didn’t even get a chance to see him, but I knew he was there,” Gurley said. “Yeah, it’s always good when a legendary guy like that comes out and supports you and just to be cheering us on.”

Sean McVay said after the Rams’ win over the Chiefs that he hoped Flair would be able to make a locker room speech, but that didn’t happen. It could be in the cards later this season, though, especially if the Rams reach the Super Bowl in Atlanta with Flair living in Georgia.
