More on Finlay Firing

Yesterday, shock waves were sent through WWE when it was announced that road agent/WWE Superstar Finlay had been fired regarding an incident involving WWE Champion The Miz at a house show this past weekend.

Basically what happened was the Miz went out to interrupt the National Anthem to set up a match with Randy Orton to open the show. Unfortunately, members of the National Guard -- WWE's biggest sponsors and partners -- were in the crowd and were not happy to see the national anthem used for cheap heel heat.

WrestleZone.Com is reporting that the decision to fire Finlay came from the top of the company itself, from Chairman Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

Unfortunately, this will have WrestleMania reprocussions, as Fit is supposed to be the agent handling the six person tag match between LayCool, Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison, Snooki and Trish Stratus. No word on who is going to take over that now, though it could go to Talent Relations head John Laurenaitis.
