with the loss of revenue as well, you have to imagine they had to cut the bloat. AEW might have to face the reality of doing the same.

Wonder how many of those salaries are going toward that 20 million dollar bribe, oops, I mean donation, to ensure WWE be classified as essential? Also seems like Vince might be in some hot water after telling everyone that the XFL was a seperate entity from WWE, it was revealed when they filed for bankruptcy that WWE was very involved in XFL funding...

I'm no expert but if he mislead stockholders, that's a very serious crime.

I wonder how many of these guys and gals had previously requested their releases and had been denied, only to now have it sprung on them.

Again NO real surprise that most on the list git released . WWE hasn't known what to do with most of them for a long time , maybe just jobbers or doing stupid storylines . Everyone hoping Filsingergames can sign a few of them . Good luck ! Anyone interested in signing Rowan's pet ? How many will join AEW ? MJF & EC3 faction ? The Club (Tag team) ? Sarah Logan ?

How many will join AEW ? MJF & EC3 faction ? The Club (Tag team) ? Sarah Logan ? The state of the business (shoot, the world) tells me that sadly, a lot of those released may be without jobs for quite some time. Imagine the dire financial straits most indie promotions will be in if not already. Sad.

As one of my friends pointed out, how ironic is it that IRS (Mike Rotunda) lost his job on April 15th?
