Over the past several months, you have not seen live WWE programming and have noticed that the Royal Rumble in Boston that was scheduled for February 19th was cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. Well, I am writing this to inform everyone as to what is going on as of late. After the January 9th edition of Raw, there was a confrontation after the tapings between certain WWE superstars and me over creative and other litigating matters. The confrontation was hostile at best with several talents walking out of building and vowing to not fulfill the contracts that they have signed with the company. The next morning, I received a call from Jack Tunney-President of the UWA addressing the phone call he received that morning from a representative of some of the talent that had left the building that evening. Mr. Tunney informed me that they are seeking a release or trade of their services to another organization. I stated that if this is what they wanted, all they had to do was ask in a professional manner instead of the hostile attitude that they displayed that evening. I informed Mr. Tunney that I would go to work immediately on their request. Then, on January 13th, I get a call from a Fox and USA Network executives, and they have informed me that they are backing out of their television deals with the WWE since they preferred to work for Mr. McMahon instead of myself and that the shows were suffering because of it. After several minutes of discussion, I decided to no longer do business with Fox and USA Network, and I wished them the best. As far as the Raw and Smackdown shows, they are the property of the networks, and I will not be using their show format in the near future.
In the end, I did decide to give the wrestlers and staff a temporary vacation and shut down the WWE for these past few months, while I figure out a restructuring of the company. Well, I can happily say that the restructuring is nearly complete, and I am beginning to call back all the wrestlers and staff to a series of meetings this coming week to inform them about the new direction that this company is going from here on in. Thank you for your patience and I will unveil the full details of this new direction in the coming weeks.
