WWE Cuts Back on Talent

[CandyKANE]

As a cost cutting measure, WWE will be pulling back the number of talent, referees, officials, etc. that appear at house shows. What this probably means is that there will be less (tag team) matches at the shows but they will hope to make up for it by sending talent to do more media related work. Some lower level wrestlers will even be allowed to take independent bookings if it doesn't conflict with the WWE schedule.
