Update On Recently Fired WWE Execs, Note On Taker’s Injury

(source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter)

— The woman who accused former WWE General Counsel head Jared Bartie of sexual harassment was Vice President of the company’s Sales/Marketing division. She too is no longer with WWE after allegedly being caught giving a oral sex to a man in talent brand management at the company’s Stamford headquarters during office hours. That man who was caught receiving oral sex, was also fired. He was said to be a favorite among many in WWE and was on the “fast track” for corporate advancement before the incident occurred.

— As reported earlier, Undertaker suffered a broken orbital bone, broken nose and a concussion after taking a seated senton from Rey Mysterio during a match taped last week for Friday Night SmackDown. It was not the first time in which he broke his orbital bone as he suffered the same injury while working a match with Mabel (a/k/a Viscera) in 1995. The injury forced him to don a grey mask for a few weeks while he recovered.

— This past weekend’s WWE shows drew above average attendance. Raw on 5/28 in New Orleans, LA drew 6,000 fans for a gate of $225,000. Raw on 5/29 in Monroe, LA did 4,600 and $130,000.
