Richard Reacts: None of today's releases were particularly surprising but I have to question the timing. Why would WWE publicly announce 10 releases when Stephanie McMahon was scheduled for a keynote speech at a major conference? Further, what does it do for talent morale to see one of the company's top executives smiling from ear to ear on a day where 10 people lost their jobs?
