WWE Agent Released

[Jobes]

I heard from multiple sources this week that Barry Windham was released as a producer recently. No one seems to know details behind the departure and it may have been another cost cutting move by World Wrestling Entertainment. He hadn't been around in a few weeks and word began making way a TV this week that he had left the company.

Windham was signed as a Producer around the time his father Blackjack Mulligan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame but didn't start for a long time as he was recovering from back surgery. While he was once one of the best in-ring workers during his prime, I never heard much about his ability as a producer. credit pwinsider

I say Arn Anderson is next.

How do you figure that exactly?

They said he hasn't been around in several weeks, I doubt Vince was going "Well he's friends with Flair, let's can the bastard".

Perhaps he wasn't doing a good enough job. We don't know the full story.

Never really noticed what Windham did backstage in this run, so it's not real big loss.

[Snitsky]

i think the next to go wiill be IRS since they are related through married but then again his son is in FCW- or it could be ricky steamboat

[blef]

Windham was specifically hired because of his dad. They wanted to induct the Blackjacks but Mulligan said "Only if you hire Barry." Kinda surprised they kept him around this long, as I'd heard nothing about him since then.

I had a feeling somebody would be let go today. Figured it'd be Burchill, after his apparently abysmal match with DJ Gabriel on ECW, but those links putting he and Katie Lea on ECW now seem to mean they're holding onto him for a lil' while longer....

I expected Arn to be gone months ago. But he's actually one of the agents we hear a lot about, and works well with the wrestlers, so he's safe.

They won't release Rotunda or Steamboat yet, as they're two of the better agents. I especially like some of the work Steamboat has done with Mickie.

I seem to remember Mickie and Arn having a huge argument about Mickie's punches which cost her a push for a little while, and there was an alleged quote where Mickie complained about Cena's fake punches.

I especially like anything to do with Mickie. ;D

I remember that, but I think it's a load of bullcrap. Most of the diva newz about pushes seems that way.

Like when Candice apparently had heat and then started to get pushed to the moon. Or remember when they said Melina was in the doghouse and had nuclear heat, and then won the Women's Championship about a week later?

That was about 6 months before she won the belt though. I'm not saying all the news about what happens backstage is fake, it's just that in the cases of women it's either very outdated or in context are relatively unsubtstantiated (examples being the aforementioned "push" things).

I'm glad this wasn't Dean Malenko.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

He'll just come back dressed as Sting.
