What do you think the percentage is of wrestlers who either think the rona is caused by 5G or believes the Q story?

If it’s less than 90% it’s all the proof you need that wrestling is fucked now

Kurt Angle was part time producing for RAW. At least on the producing side, if you're not living in Florida, WWE probably doesn't want to fly you in unless it was needed, so money wise, it probably makes sense to cut producers not living in Florida.

it sucks but also without any house shows they don't need a roster big enough to be in 2-3 cities every night. i can see some of these folks coming back whenever they can run shows again, like what they are doing with the producers.

nachobro · « **Reply #10166 on:** April 15, 2020, 03:55:28 PM »

if these folks were at the end of their contract or were already paid their guarantee they weren't making any money right now at all so at least it frees them up to sell shirts or do twitch streams or whatever. it definitely sucks but it was inevitable if the company isn't running any live shows and might not til next year.

Covid-19 has been devastating for me & my family. My brother in law; who was my legal guardian passed away to Covid-19.

Today, Covid-19 stripped me of my dream job. Feels like life is being sucked from me.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out. Be safe and stay strong.?

As of this writing, at least 39 people (wrestlers and employees) have been released by WWE but it looks like more releases are coming.

WrestleVotes is reporting that the expectation is that the number of people expected to be released will go into the hundreds when all is said and done. That would include people who work behind-the-scenes on the road and at company headquarters.

Rumblings from the sheets about a potential union forming after all the releases.

Not likely since all WWE staff have been conditioned to see Vince as a god. If the wrestlers can even be contracted as actual WWE employees, that would already be a step up lol
