Shane Haste Announces He Is A Free Agent

Shane Haste announced this past Sunday on Twitter that his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling recently expired and he is currently a free agent.

I was prolly a little too cryptic with this post but "free agent" sounded too fancy pants for me 🧐

Maybe I should have gone with "funemployed" 😅 https://t.co/3OQQduejDx

Reason Why Jeremy Borash’s Name Is Not Listed on End Credits for AAA TV Shows on FOX Latin America

Since WWE’s acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA this past April, WWE producer Jeremy Borash and WWE Hall of Famer have been working for AAA as part of their creative team with Borash being the lead person in charge. AAA made their official debut on FOX Latin America this past January but one notable abscense has been Borash’s name for the end credits to AAA TV shows.

The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported that his sources stated that the reason why Borash’s name is not listed in the end credits for AAA TV shows is due to WWE’s current policy is to only list those with a role of Executive Producer for shows. Alvarez reported that Borash does not have this job title for his work in AAA.
