Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Kudos to WWE for keeping Cappotelli on the payroll as long as they did, considering there were no guarantees he'd ever wrestle again and he hasn't really done anything for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, I just had a similar experience at work regarding a meeting. The person organizing it couldn't get the difference between the two.. Oh, and also re: Capotelli. He won TE the same year that Nitro/Morrison did, right? I always thought that Capotelli had the look and ability to be what WWE had always wanted Jeff Hardy to be.. well, back then anyway.

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Developmental Hade Vansen was released. Vansen was the wrestler who cut the cult-like promo on Undertaker in a vignette that aired once before Vince killed the idea. So he goes from being considered good enough to get a call-up to released in less than a month. I wonder if the hiring of Low-Ki has anything to do with this, as they were similar enough in-ring, look and size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Was he on payroll? I mean, if you're under a developmental contract but cannot work, do you get a downside guarantee? Yes. A.J. Styles said when he was offered one (and turned it down) back in 2001, it was $500 a month. It's probably a little more than that now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Add Stephanie McMahon's assistant. From F4W: Mary Blinstrubas, Stephanie's executive assistant who had been with the company since November of 2006, was cut. She was said to be pretty much incompetent and "constantly was sending out creative scripts via e-mail to random departments within the company, putting random people in the loop on creative before Vince even had a chance to review the shows, [and] had humorous slip ups where she'd call Michael Hayes 'Virgil' and call Virgil 'Brian' (after Gewirtz). She'd also accidentally patch in important calls with random extensions on the WWE board during conference calls with Vince." She also grocery-shopped for Steph, bought her clothes, relayed messages to her nanny, etc. Said to be not a fun job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 This is too weird, as before I even got online this morning, I had mentioned to someone that I was surprised a guy like Sgt. Slaughter hadn't been cut yet (since we usually hear of road agents like Anderson, Malenko, etc. and not really of the Sarge anymore). Then I come here and read this.
