Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Backstage Note On The Hiring Of Adnan Virk
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE president, Nick Khan, made the decision to hire Adnan Virk for the RAW Commentary team. Khan used to be the agent for Virk before he joined WWE.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Regarding Adnan Virk, as noted, that was a Nick Khan move. Khan was his agent before Khan took the WWE job. He’s only in week two and is about what you would think from someone who wasn’t a major fan thrown in after two weeks.
My Take:
- Later in this article, you will hear more about Nick Khan’s growing backstage power. Interesting to see that Virk was brought in by him. I am not sure how I feel about Virk yet but I am willing to give him several more weeks on commentary before forming my opinion.
4) Backstage Reaction To Mark Carrano’s Firing rom WWE
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), there were a lot of former WWE employees who were happy to see Mark Carrano get fired.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
We heard from over a dozen former names in WWE, and the reaction was unanimously in favor of Carrano being let go. From simple “Fuck Mark Carrano” responses, to more elaborate explanations the temperature that we took was consistent, but with varying degrees of fervor. Multiple former wrestlers called Carrano a “snake,” while one said that they thought deep down he was a good guy who let the power get to him.
My Take:
- I am sure that we will be hearing plenty of stories about Carrano in interviews over these next few months. Interested to hear what comes out.
