Finlay Fired?

ProWrestling.net is reporting that WWE Superstar and road agent Fit Finlay has been fired, citing its source as PWInsider.Com.

Apparently, at a house show this past weekend, The Miz was supposed to come out and interrupt the national anthem to set up a match between himself and Randy Orton. Unfortunately, members of the National Guard -- one of WWE's biggest sponsors -- was in the crowd and apparently were not too happy about the national anthem being used for heel heat.

Finlay was one of the top producers backstage and was considered to be one of the biggest advocates and assistants for the Divas in the last decade. This is a horrible blow to the Divas, who have been struggling to find legitimate footing since the girls from 2000-2006 all retired or went elsewhere.

I should note that this is an unfortunate incident, and unless there is more to the story, then I can't see why they wouldn't rehire him sometime down the line, much like they did for Daniel Bryan. Unfortunately, I still think what Michael Cole did was a bit worse, and we still have yet to hear of discipline for him.
