using potentially dubious political means to get your wrestlers (who you don’t even GIVE HEALTH INSURANCE TO) classified as “essential workers” during a pandemic so their wrestlers have to keep working (which increases their likelihood of getting sick, and of their families getting sick through them)
and then immediately laying off a truckload of these workers who were supposedly so essential to the economy of florida that they needed to RISK THEIR LIVES is just such fcking peak McMahon awfulness jesus fcking christ
Yeah, it hurts a lot. Maybe some can come back after this is over or they'll find better elsewhere.
Most of these people won't be done with wrestling and I sincerely hope every single one of them gets and incredible career if not just to give vince the middle finger.
I imagine a lot of these employees will also be furloughed (mainly backstage personalities) so will hopefully be able to come back once this mess is completely over.
People are getting laid off everywhere. It's not just wwe. This absolutely sucks and I hope they all can recover from this
That's why this is hurting the fans so much. This situation is familiar for a lot of people, especially in the last couple months. We watched wrestlemania to get away from this harsh reality and now we have to just sit here and watch the names come through.
I am so sorry every single person released from the wwe today. Wrestlers, producers, trainers, referees, and most likely many backstage employees have been let go today. These people have families to feed and their livelihood has been ripped out from under them because of a greedy 74 year old man. This whole thing has just made my heart sink and I truly hope they all manage to recover from this.
