WWE Producer Mike Rotunda, 62, was among those who were officially released by WWE as part of today's cutbacks.
Rotunda, the father of WWE stars Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas, had been with WWE in a Producer/Agent role since 2006. he was Forloughed back in April and now they decided to just go all the way and fire him.
Rotunda retired from in-ring performances in 2004. He is perhaps best known as former WWF Tag Team Champion Irwin R. Shyster (IRS) and had a long career in the WWF, WCW, Jim Crockett Promotions, the AWA and Championship Wrestling from Florida, including a memorable run as one of the core members of Kevin Sullivan's Varsity Club in the late 1980s for JCP where he held the NWA World Television Championship.
Beyond his IRS Tag Team title run with Ted DiBiase, he and Barry Windham held the WWF Tag Team Championships twice as the U.S. Express.
WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco was cut by WWE last night.
Brisco had been scouting talent for WWE of late and had been with the company since 1984, when he and his brother Jack sold their shares of Georgia Championship Wrestling to Vince McMahon in a clandestine meeting in LaGuardia Airport, giving Vince McMahon that promotion's TBS timeslot. Over the years, Brisco worked as an agent and had been one of McMahon's closest confidantes.
