THE LIAR
Man is it just me or is "sending people their poo poo in a trash bag" really, REALLY low on the list of bad crap WWE has done? In some cases, to these very people in question!

I kinda don't get why this is blowing up or why WWE is falling over themselves so aggressively when they normally just don't give a poo poo.

I think it's blowing up because it's just something simple and so crassly disrespectful that it immediately grabs people's attention. WWE is quickly trying to fix it because they think they can present it as an isolated problem and score PR points by fixing the problem.

It's relatable to pretty much anyone who's been let go over the phone and their stuff shows up a week later clearly packed in a rush with no care. It's disrespectful in a way that casual tweet viewers inherently understand, unlike most of WWE's really specific laser focused disrespect.

Senior Director of Talent Relations

Mike Chioda a few months ago regarding him:

quote:

Mark Carrano. He’s the shits. Did he ever referee a match? Did he ever work a match? Did he ever set up a ring? Did he ever take ropes? Did he ever drive a truck? He did none of that poo poo. I guess he paid his dues in the office because he is still there. He is a smart mark, not his first name, but a smart mark to the business. He knows anything and everything. He couldn’t look you in the eye. He wasn’t straightforward with you. I didn’t believe him. Even when he called me, he lied to me that day when he called me to let me go. I believe he was one of the guys who put me up on the chopping block. I know it didn’t come from Vince and Stephanie who said, ‘Let’s cut Mike Chioda and cut his payroll because his payroll is so huge.

He put my name up, I guess, and got it approved through Hunter and probably Hunter got it taken care of through Vince. We got along on a business standpoint but I tried to stay away from him as much as I could. I believe he’s put in a situation to take all the heat, but to be honest with you, this is the first time that I’ve mentioned his name since I’ve been off and I really didn’t want to talk about his name. You put somebody’s name out there and you are putting him over either way, bad or good. He’s just never paid a lot of dues on the outside of the business. He was trying to get the referees to be stooges and everything. It wasn’t the way I wanted to see the referees go.

Also didn’t they just bring Lauranitis back and put him senior to Carrano? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they were looking for any excuse to cut him

This says they gave Laurinaitis a new job title specifically to slot him above Carrano so they could fire him for any minor grievance and probably not promote anyone back to his position. Absolute scapegoat poo poo.

Johnny Ace has been due some bloodletting since he's been brought back, yes. Got to bring in his people for the Johnny Ace palace coup second try.
