We have heard that Mark Carrano, who works in Talent Relations under Triple H, is the man who made most, if not all, of the calls to the released talent today. It is fair to say that at least some of those let go would have appreciated that the call came from Triple H himself.
There is a lot of talk that the cuts/releases are not done and that there will be cuts on the administrative side of the company as well, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. Potential cuts loom across pretty much all departments.
The word making the rounds is that the current state of The WWE Network, its success or lack thereof, is what is precipitating cuts both in talent as well as potentially in office staff. That wouldn't bode well for state of the Network base when they release the current subscriber numbers at the second quarter earnings conference call.
So it may very well may be that tomorrow continues Black Thursday into Black Friday.
Mike Johnson and I talked about changes that the company could make to the Network to make it appeal to their core base on this week's We Don't Need No Stinkin' Name show for our Elite members, if you are interested in hearing our thoughts on the subject.
