They just fired a couple with a newborn baby and multiple people out injured. They fired Darren Young as soon as he was finished doing all the media rounds about being the first openly LGBTQ WWE wrestler. They do not give even the slightest of fukks about shyt like that and never have. They went to do their Saudi show right after the prince had an American journalist chopped to bits. I mean shyt, Vince gets named to Trump's economic recovery/reopening task force and the day after fires 45 people. Optics mean nothing to them.

The sooner the wrestlers realize this, the sooner shyt can get done and changes can be made stateside.:francis:

Ventura tried to make a union :francis:

Snitching ass Hoegan had to fukk it up. :martin:

I don’t think they have a union over in Japan, but they’re handling this shyt MUCH better. Trying to get independent workers coverage and even The Ace said Pro Wrestling should be the last thing to come back to show that everything is truly good.

The cuts were business, I don’t think any of it was personal. Just last year they were holding on to everybody and over paying them so they wouldn’t jump ship. Most of the people cut were either thinking about leaving or not drawing money anyway

Vince is a piece of shyt but not cause of this. It’s also funny how everyone believes 100% what these dudes like meltzer posts. If I’m Vince I’m not trying to pay drake Maverick and zack Ryder out of my emergency savings account.

we all said wrestling needs an off season. Well here it is. Dudes have nothing but time to work on their gimmicks and heal. I just heard Matt hard say that’s when he came up with the broken stuff while recovering from injuries. This gives them time to find new inspirations

I think people are having a difficult time understanding this. The virus outbreak has many taking it personal. Does anyone blink an eye if this happens under normal circumstances?

As noted, WWE made several talent and staff cuts on Wednesday as a part of their COVID-19 business update and changes.


Several producers were a part of the cuts – WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, Billy Kidman, Mike Rotunda, Pat Buck, Fit Finlay, Shawn Daivari, Scott Armstrong, Sarah Stock, Shane Helms, and Lance Storm. While Angle was released, the rest of the producers were furloughed and it’s believed that they will be brought back once WWE resumes regular live event touring, which should begin once the coronavirus pandemic is contained. It’s believed that a few other non-producer employees were furloughed as well, but not confirmed.


In an update, the furloughed employees received an information packet this week following the cuts, according to Wrestling Inc. The packet stated that they were being furloughed because of “the current level of work available as a result of COVID-19.” The coronavirus outbreak was referred to in the packet as an “unforeseen circumstance, akin to a natural disaster.” It could not be confirmed that each furloughed employee received the same packet detailed here, but it was sent to at least multiple people.


The furloughed producers were also told that they will remain on the payroll until this Saturday. Wednesday was their last official work day, but the furlough officially begins on Saturday.


The end date for the furlough is Wednesday, July 1 of this year. However, it was specified that this is subject to extension “given the current situation and ongoing uncertainties.”


It was also stated that while there is no definitive end date, it’s expected that the furlough will last fewer than 6 months. WWE reserves the right to extend or terminate the furlough at their discretion. It was also stated that WWE plans to keep furloughed employees informed of the decisions they make during that period. WWE hopes that the furlough will be sufficient, but they told the employees in the packet that layoffs may be necessary.


WWE will also cover health insurance contributions during the furlough period, for employees that are enrolled in the WWE health insurance plan. They will also retain their seniority with the company. Furloughed employees will not receive a paycheck during the period, but they may be eligible for unemployment benefits, in addition to federal benefits issued due to the coronavirus pandemic.


basically what's happening in pretty much every other business in the country
but because wwe does it, the marks want to make it out to be some evil conspiracy solely done to ruin lives. :unimpressed: it's almost like a virus hasn't touched down on earth and crushed the buildings.
