More WWE Employment Shifts; New Creative Head Fired

PWTorch has confirmed that brand new WWE creative writer Adam Rudman has been released by the company, after only working six weeks following WrestleMania.

Rudman was let go last Friday, along with all the NXT Superstars that were fired on WWE's "black Friday". He recently replaced former head writer Eric Pankowski, who only lasted one year in his job as Senior Vice President of Creative and Development.

According to the report, Rudman was let go because of his inexperience with professional wrestling, and many backstage did not believe he would last long.

Wrestlezone.com reported that WWE Vice President of Television Production, "Big" John Gaburick finished his last week with the company. Initially, no details other than a farwell party with his co-workers were known about his departure. WZ is now reporting that sources inside the company say Gaburick leaving was not in fact his own choice.

"You don't leave that kind of spot and money unless the right people have problems with you," is what one source told us.

Gaburick always had a good relationship with Kevin Dunn, WWE's Executive Vice President of Television Production. However, Vince McMahon was never said to be the biggest fan of Gaburick. A source said, "Kevin protected 'Big' from Vince." When Gaburick was promoted to his VP position several years ago, his relationship with Dunn began to sour. One source believed the departure was the result of the company's "changing landscape" as Stephanie McMahon and Triple H continue to overhaul the internal structure.

It seems things finally got to a point where the company decided it was time for a change and Gaburick quietly left his position.
