I mean Tye going anywhere and helping a midcard can still be good for any company. In some aspects WWE’s midcard is a mess so the fact they couldn’t use him for something is still baffling.

Agreed.

So here is news from Wrestle Inc about Arn Anderson being fired:

"Arn Anderson was released from WWE in February due to an incident at a live event with Alicia Fox.

Wrestling Inc. has confirmed with multiple sources that Anderson was fired because Fox showed up at a live event intoxicated. Anderson was the agent for her match and allowed her to perform. Vince McMahon was reportedly furious when he found out and it was the final straw.

Anderson had been working with WWE since WCW folded in 2001. He would occasionally appear in backstage segments and even got physical at the WWE Starrcade event in November of 2017, where he delivered his trademark spinebuster to Dolph Ziggler.

Fox's status is unclear. She was not backstage at RAW last week, and hasn't wrestled since the February 10th live event in Saginaw, Michigan, where she teamed with Mickie James and Nikki Cross in a losing effort to Bayley, Dana Brooke and Natalya. We have reached out to WWE, and will provide an update if we receive it."

Arn Anderson maybe thought if she could walk and talk, she could also compete like in the old times where roids and drugs were running rampart.

I would be interested to know if WWE has a contingency plan in the form of both a male and a female replacement worker or if someone has to work two times then.

While I see it as lacking in professionalism...I feel in the end it's just a judgment call he made on the spot. He took a chance that Alicia could pull it together enough to do her job. Hell she might have begged him not to tell since it could cost her job. While it did endanger a few people, I think a hefty fine/suspension would have been fine...with Alicia to be the one who gets fired.

Considering it was a six man tag match, my guess is Arn felt she could just stay on the apron and maybe take a bump, and then they could just move past it without issue. It was a judgement call, but it was a bad call on his part. Maybe he was trying to protect her from backlash from the office, but it was the wrong call completely. He should have kept her off the show and replaced her with anyone else.

Same report says it was "the last straw" so odds are Arn has pissed off Vince before.

Alicia they can't fire outright if she has a drinking problem, not without at least offering her rehab first. Supposedly, if dirtsheets are true, she was OFFERED to go to rehab, refused, and hasn't so much as shown up at all ever since early February.

I am amazed at the fact he is not in HOF.

You'd think "The first world title challenger at Mania" would get more prestige :/

RIP
