WWE LAYOFFS UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2009-01-09 13:17:13

World Wrestling Entertainment layoffs continued today with what one employee referred to me as "The Titan Tower Massacre" as a number of department heads were let go. Three different people I've spoken to noted that just about every supervisor and boss they've ever had has been let go. It's about as depressing as you could imagine.

WWE had security guards (one person told me armed guards, but I haven't been able to doublecheck that) escorting fired employees off the company's Stamford, CT property.

We've also heard that ECW brand referee Mike Posey (who some of you may remember as "Dropkick" Mike Posey during his tenure in the TNA Nashville PPV era) was released today as well. Additional talent releases from all areas, including road agents/producers are expected today.
