How many of you know the name Mark Yeaton? How many of you knew his name before he was let go by WWE earlier this year? The 30 year veteran was one of WWE's longest serving and most loyal employees. He was the timekeeper, the man who rang the bell before and after every match, who made sure matches and segments ran accordingly. You see it takes more than wrestlers to run a wrestling show. Referees, and commentators may share some screen time with the in ring performers, but WWE also employs a staggering number of road agents, cameramen, television producers, directors and stagehands to construct the ring, the stage, the set, everything that many WWE fans take for granted. Back in July, 55 WWE employees were cut to make up for lost revenue. Say what you want about JTG, but at least people vaguely remember him. How many of these former employees will ever receive any recognition from the fans for making WWE what it is?
As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG.
I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
