Maybe he got a job at a scissors factory. Just in case. *crickets* *tumbleweed* He said: Maybe he got a job at a scissors factory. This f***ing reply is worthy of your username in the extreme.

Meltzer addressed Arn’s firing on WOR today:
- There was an incident at a house show that Arn took the fall for. Dave says he has no details yet, but he’s heard from people who’ve sided with Arn and people who’ve sided with Vince.
- Arn and Vince weren’t on the best of terms to begin with
- Dave speculates that this likely wouldn’t have happened if John Cena was still full-time because Arn was Cena’s agent and they were close

Weird that there's still not a lot of concrete details. It's really as though this release appeared as if... ...from nowhere....

An absolutely minute piece of trivia from all of this - Arn was employed as an agent in WWE for almost 18 years. His entire in-ring career only lasted 15.

I don’t know if there is any correlation here, but it is interesting: I am watching Jeff Jarrett. I see him gaining power in the company quickly.

In my head cannon he spine bustered someone from catering when the order was late and that was the last straw.

Nice that they did this two days before the Ric Flair birthday celebration show. Does anyone know if he and Flair patched things up? I know Arn was on the outs with him for a while. Also, friendly reminder that Arn Anderson is the greatest of all-time and that's just all there is to it. Ric and Arn along with Lex, JJ, Tully and Barry have done 4 Horsemen reunion autograph signings over the last few years so it's not like they won't be in the same room or situation together. I can't imagine they would stay apart in their latter years, they were the best of friends for so long.

A lot of guys on the roster, including some main eventers, got their big break with TNA and no doubt have fond feelings for him. He seems to be so appreciative of WWE bringing him back and bound and determined to show he's worthy of that faith. I could see him being cut from the Dusty/Hunter mold; when he's not booking himself, he can apply his vast knowledge of the business well and create an entertaining product.

Scared guy in catering: We-we’re all out. Those 2 guys over there took the last of it. *points at Samoa Joe and Tommy Dreamer * AA: But I ordered it a half hour ago!! Guy in catering crapping his pants: They said they would eat me if I didn’t hand it over! *Arn delivers a spinebuster through the catering table to the caterer * AA: *sniffs* Go wash your ass!

Ric and Arn had a falling out? Apparently. Or from what I read it was more of Arn being fed up with Ric being Ric.

Reading between the lines of what Meltzer said, if I would have to guess, I think Arn called out Vince on what a mistake it would be to job out Cena to Sullivan.

Arn probably only stayed around as long as he did because of Trips. I doubt Vince/Dunn ever wanted the "southern NWA Stench" backstage. I can't believe Double J is an agent now.

But the problem is that unlike Dusty and Trips, Jarrett has failed at every wrestling venture he has ever tried. He has a resume filled with failures. If it wasn’t for Vince giving him a job, he would still be conning people with the gold scheme.

Everyone has ultimately been a "failure" competing against Vince since he put everyone out of business. He could have probably put TNA Out of business YEARS ago if he wanted to
