3) Another WWE Signing
During his NXT Takeover media call, Triple H confirmed another new signing for WWE. Triple H announced that the company has signed Bronson Rechsteiner, who is the son of Rick Steiner.
Here is what he said:
“I’m incredibly excited about Parker Boudreaux coming in, Bronson Rechsteiner, we have a lot of people coming in the door. Just as I am on people who have been here for awhile”
My Take:
- Bronson had an impressive college football career and I am excited to see how he does in pro-wrestling. If he is anything like his dad, he is going to be amazing.
2) No Raises Or Promtions For WWE Employees
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, WWE informed employees this week that they will not be giving out any promotions or raises.
Here is what Johnson wrote about the situation:
World Wrestling Entertainment informed employees and staffers in different departments today that promotions and raises would not be going forward, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.
The belief among those we have spoken to is that the company made those decisions over the last several weeks out of financial prudence stemming from the most recent earnings release.
Based on what we have been told, employees would still be eligible for bonuses based on their performance for the company. The edict would prevent them from being given promotions and being given official raises.
My Take:
- I definitely feel bad for these employees. Especially since WWE is still bringing in major profits. It isn’t just a WWE thing though unfortunately, this is happening in a lot of big corporations.
