— WWE announced via an 8-K form filed today that Director and Chief Operating Officer Donna Goldsmith will be leaving those positions, effective February 28th. More shortly but she was a very high-profile employee. You’ve heard her name numerous times here on the site over the years.
— The Daily Post has an article about the city of Gwynedd, North Wales being upset that Vince McMahon refused to allow Mason Ryan to be announced as from there. A spokesman for the company said, “Mason Ryan is a character from Wales and that character is from Cardiff. We appreciate this is not his local town but Cardiff is used as WWE is a global brand. For ease of recognition we have chosen a city that is best known.” You can read that article at http://www.dailypost.co.uk/
