john laurinaitis resigns senior vice president of talent operations

[y2jman]

WWE.com announced that John Laurinaitis submitted his resignation for his position as Senior Vice President of Talent Operations, effective immediately. According to the article, Laurinaitis is "burned out," but will continue working with the company as a producer putting together matches.
We've been reporting that Laurinaitis' real-life power behind-the-scenes was weakening, and Triple H had his people running most aspects of WWE's talent relations department. According to The Wrestling Observer newsletter, Triple H has not been a big proponent of Laurinaitis, which led to his reduced role in the department.

Greatest news in a LONG, LONG time. Hopefully, this paves the way for top indy guys to come into WWE and not be wasted to WWE made guys who cannot draw.

[mattsheliine]

two of the biggest names right now are former indy wrestlers

[Jake]

So, he will put together matches. Wow, so he still has a say on what happens.

[JoMo]

Who can Laurinaitis be credited for scouting and signing? I know JR is credited for guys like Swgger and the Hardy boys and Triple H signed Sin Cara, Ambrose, and Kharma.

[Todd]

*high fives everyone*

[Jack Nichols]

I'm surprised they didnt try to drag this out in a storyline.

[Untouchable]

And the whole internet rejoices...

I like the direction the WWE has been going as far as young talent is going and no surprise that it has little to nothing to do with Johnny Ace , so uhh good riddins to you in your new position Ace!

I think we should all wish big Johnny luck in his future endeavors.

Yeah, but have you watched the show lately? Almost complete formula. Either Ace is gonna stick to the formula, in which case there's no harm done, or he's gonna break from it. And even if he breaks bad, at least it'll be something different. I can think of worse jobs for him in the current climate.

[Miss HHH]

It's okay, his replacements are already being readied:

[System]

I wish that meant he'd have more time as an on-screen persona..was a great GM.

Triple H is my favourite wrestler, but Sin Cara and Kharma have been total busts.

[Miss HHH]

Yeah Kharma's run was disappointing but it was really out of their control in the end.

Cara, I don't really count as a Trips signing but he still has time to improve.
