Major heat on WWE Executive over Punks contract situation

- Sources within WWE have exclusively revealed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and Triple H are said to be very angry at talent relations executive John Laurinaitis over his failure to re-sign CM Punk. We have been told the heat on Laurinaitis is serious because this is seen as his second serious failure this year, with the failure to keep Chris Jericho on the roster falling on Laurinaitis’ shoulders as well.

One WWE source says “this is the same job JR had for years, and it’s a heat-magnet because you’re trapped between Vince’s expectations and the talents who want to break away from the brutal schedule.”

Another company source told us “Laurinaitis has made millions in salary and stock options. He’s expected to perform for that money, and produce results. Right now, he’s not getting done the job Vince expects of him!”

Several key WWE sources have informed us that the new priority for talent executive John Laurinaitis is to re-sign Rey Mysterio, whose contract expires early in 2012.

"Laurinaitis has a lot of egg on his face right now," we were told, "think about all the talent that has refused to re-sign. Jericho wouldn't re-sign. MVP wouldn't re-sign. Punk won't re-sign. Even undercard wrestlers like Chavo (Guerrero) won't re-sign right now. Laurinaitis needs a key re-signing to keep his corporate credibility alive right now!"

With the serious fallout from CM Punk's homophobic remarks in Australia, Laurinaitis has targeted keeping Rey Mysterio in the fold as a demonstration to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon he still has the talent under control. "Laurinaitis always had big shoes to fill since he took over from Jim Ross," we were told, "now he has to produce results. This is going to be very interesting to watch!"

Keeping Rey

He's been due knee surgery for years, fuck off and get the surgery ya wee dick.

He makes a lot of money for the company though doesnt he so they'll need him

Instead of blaming this John Laurinatis guy for them leaving and not resigning, shouldn't the blame be more on the people who decide who gets pushed or script writers for giving them crap storylines?

For an example; if Chavo wasn't reduced to being a jobber, would he have left?

Or why doesnt Vince or HHH step in themselves and offer the contracts?

Chavo had been in the company for the best part of a decade, and had never got himself over as a singles star. He even had a run with Rey, got credited with injuring him... and still got met with total apathy from the crowd.
