So if Papa Shango is the patron saint of the injury thread, who is in charge of the hiring and firing thead? I'd like to suggest Marty Janetty's 2018 Hired & Fired Tracker. That's brilliant. And readily accepted. |

I thought he was hired and fired already.

Everyone here will hate me for this, but I want Ricochet to get a Rikochet gimmick:  Who will be The Flea? The Hobo King himself, Dean Ambrose. |

I can't see Tamina being employed another year. That's what I said about her five years ago and yet... |

Cant see them keeping the War Machine name. Pulling for Engine Of Combat, or something else that sounds like an ESL death metal album title. |

Squared Circle Sirens is reporting that WWE have signed Candice LeRae and she will be reporting to the Performance Center by the end of the month.

I'm not sure whether to update the first post when first reports of a signee come in or at a later stage like when they appear on TV or they tweet about it or they're at the PC themselves. I'm leaning a bit to the second option for now.

I see what you mean. That's a good idea. Thank you. |

You know, this kind of thing is why WWE's attempts to cut down their budget seem to amount to nothing.

The first post has been updated with some editorializing, and more importantly, some numbers. Some scary ass numbers. If it's even 90% correct, WWE has more people than they ever plan to use... even just on the main roster and still eyeing more.

What CAN you do with all that talent in making sure they all get their fair shots at the top? Your title pictures would resemble revolving doors. |

Well, part of the problem right now is the midcard logjam. They're still hiring people like 10 years ago, but not firing people like 10 years ago. Cena, Miz and Ziggler have been in WWE longer than anyone from the Attitude era except Undertaker or Triple H, and you could probably name 10-15 people to wonder if WWE will either piss or get off the pot with. |

.....ok I'll be honest I saw this thread and honestly thought Jannetty had already been hired & fired in 2018.  |

What CAN you do with all that talent in making sure they all get their fair shots at the top? Your title pictures would resemble revolving doors. Not fair shots at the top. I'm not asking for that. Not even shots at any title. I'm not asking for that. But just... like, utilize people. Rotate talent. A lot of WWE runs, that vast majority I'd say, are marked by brief spikes of weekly usage and then long periods of absolutely nothing. On the main roster, they have like 30 or 45 people that they focus on if you want to be really generous. I couldn't name right now but that's probably it. The rest are just filler. That's not a good way to do things. |

Candice LaRae, War Machine & Ricochet are the first new signings of 2018. The first post has been updated to reflect that there are now 196 in-ring performers currently signed to WWE. |

Didn't she sign (alongside Shadia Bseiso) months ago (making her a 2017 hire)? I seem to remember them being put in the front row at an event (forget which one) and announced as having signed. |
