Who? srsly who?

I watch a little and never heard of any of these jobbers.

When they layoff Becky Lynch, Asuka, Gronk, AJ Styles and The Miz and Charlotte Flair lemme know.

I mean Mike Rotunda are you fn serious? Thought he died in '93.

The doors will be closing to the whole place at that point.

You never heard of Anderson, Gallows, or Rusev?

Kinda hard to believe you don’t know who Gallows and Anderson are yet know who AJ Styles is tbh

Also you know The Miz who has been tenured for 15 years and was on the roster with literally everyone on this list. Seems a little fishy.

Mike Chioda getting the hammer just stuns me... he's been there forever and was 1 of WWE's senior referees (along with Lil Naitch Charles Robinson... who Chioda has seniority over even if you count Robinson's time in WCW)

so... let's start the guessing game of who gets brought back when this pandemic shite all ends?

I guess Chioda will be 1... maybe the Good Bros at a reduced price

I knew they would cut people, but, this is a huge batch. Sad that creative wouldn’t work with some of these.

Kurt Angle goes back when this is all said and done.....I'd say that for most of not all of those road agents/producers.

Cone (Nicholas's dad) and Patton have been the two senior referees on RAW. If you watch a lot of these FS1 aired programs you'll notice Patton is Brock's personal referee and he worked a ton of Cena matches before that. Cone works a bunch of tag team matches. Usually a young or black referee works diva matches.

The guy I knew who was at the WM taping was given his release today. Sucks but I guess no need to hold things back anymore. Charlotte/Ripley (ending was shot twice but same result), SD tag (there is a reason we're getting a live redo), and Zayn/Bryan were the 3 matches with two results taped. Edge/Orton had a few diverging points so they could play with the time (obviously they made the wrong decision... and in their tunnel focus while editing completely missed the Benoit/Edge comparison.)

VERY doubtful. He was laid off while everyone else was furloughed. There is a difference between how it's treated. Generally speaking furloughed employees keep their benefits while laid off people have to go the COBRA route.

Maybe this deserves its own thread but Los Angeles Mayor declares NO SPORTS UNTIL 2021
Looks like Tampa might get Mania back next year.

If Gallows and Anderson go to AEW eventually, that tag team division will be stacked.

It’s sucks because these people can’t perform anywhere.

Shitty timing, but it is what is.

That probably has more to do with his contract than anything else....he was on a legends talent deal rather than a producer deal if I'm not mistaken.

Kurt was a backstage producer. He probably has a legends deal too.

I'm guessing the producer stuff is written into his legends contract and factored into his downside guarantee.
