WWE Fires Longtime Spanish Announcer Carlos Cabrera
WWE reportedly fired their longtime Spanish announcer Carlos Cabrera this past Wednesday, according to Lucha Libre Online and PWInsider.
Lucha Libre Online’s Hugo Savinovich was the first to announce Cabrera’s firing, which was later confirmed by PWInsider from their sources within the company.
While the reason for Cabrera’s firing was initially not known, Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources stated that it was due to an age related decision by WWE officials who wanted someone younger for his commentary role.
Prior to his firing, Cabrera had been with the company as a member of their Spanish commentary team since 1993, first alongside with Savinovich from 1993 to 2011 and then with Marcelo Rodriguez afterwards.
