and it's not like there's college wrestling and football going on that they can send Brisco to talent scout at. 

I think scouting NCAA wrestling tournaments was pretty much Brisco's whole "job", yeah. Smacked a bit of Vince paying an older, loyal employee/friend to go do something they enjoy doing anyway with the occasional fringe benefit of finding a signing or two & the outside chance of turning up the next Angle/Lesnar.

Brisco's been furloughed rather than fired, which suggests they want to avoid paying him, but have the option to bring him back when there's actually something to scout.

Was thinking as different countries are on different schedules for returning to normal. Would the WWE consider packing up and recording from elsewhere in the world for a short time if America remained in lock down or at least banning large gatherings for much longer than anticipated? Not sure how it would go down publicity wise or would even be feasible as many countries easing up are establishing entry quarantines anyway but could make for some rather unusual tapings if they decided to do work with more flexible countries rules with less restrictions.

Being reported Curtis Axel has been released. 

WWE posted it on twitter. Lasted long enough without ever being spectacular.

Him winning the IC title is still easily one of my favourite moments in recent years.

Just one of those cunts who screws you over on Sporcle like Ezekiel Jackson.

Do we think another wave of firings are coming or has this been a follow on of people asking fir their release so Axel taking his chance? 

I think they are staggering the announcements of some of the releases, but these are still part of the original mass sacking.

Meltzer was also reporting the other day that they’re seemingly willing to let anybody that wants a release to have one to reduce costs wherever they can.

Which could either be Covid19 related or they are getting the payroll down to look more profitable for the Fox/ESPN takeover deal.

There's something to be said when Becky Lynch doesn't feature on a poster about taking the opportunity to cash in on a champion but MVP does.
