Arn Anderson no longer with WWE
Arn Anderson, who had been a long-time producer for WWE, is no longer with the company.
Pro Wrestling Sheet reported overnight that Anderson exited WWE on Thursday and had “apparently been let go” by the company. Further details on why Anderson is departing WWE have yet to be revealed.
Rusev tweeted about the news: “Thank you AA for teaching me and letting me sit under the learning tree. #ArnAnderson”
WWE has recently hired several new producers, with Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, Sonjay Dutt, Shawn Daivari, and Shane “Hurricane” Helms joining the promotion in behind-the-scenes roles. WWE uploaded a video yesterday that featured brief interview clips with those five new hires.
Anderson, who is now 60 years old, joined WWE after the closure of WCW.
Anderson’s Four Horsemen stablemate Ric Flair will be appearing on Monday’s Raw for a 70th birthday celebration segment. The Four Horsemen (Flair, Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham, and JJ Dillon) were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
