WWE Releases 2 More (Details) + A Major Update On The Firings

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (F4WOnline.com)

» Greg Disco, who worked in the Talent Relations department, was released last week. Disco worked directly under Ty Bailey and Mark Carrano. Several within the company believe his release has hurt the department. There are a lot of stories regarding people not getting phone calls returned this week, from that department.

» WWE has also dropped referee Mickey Henson (Mickie Jay). Henson had been out of action the past few months with undisclosed health problems and it was unknown if he would return. Henson was brought into the company in the fall of 2005 and asked to change his stage name due to the similarity to the name Mickie James.

» Thus far, WWE has released a total of 13 talents/producers. The cut list so far is as follows: D-Lo Brown, Val Venis, Bam Neely, Gavin Spears, Kevin Thorn, Mike Kruel, Ron Simmons, Sgt. Slaughter, Jim Korderas, Tim White, Mike Posey, Kevin Keenan and Mickie Henson. Reportedly, “several other names” were given from various sources saying they have also been let go, but the names in question have yet to be 100% confirmed. WWE still has yet to announce the departures of Gavin Spears, Ron Simmons and Mickie Henson as their respective profiles still remain on the company website. Jimmy Korderas’ profile was quietly removed from the website without an announcement regarding his departure from WWE.
