Unfortunately this year WWE had to release quite a few talents and employees due to coronavirus related budget cuts, and now a Hall of Famer has been added to the list.
Gerald Brisco took to Twitter recently to say that Vince McMahon informed him of his release when he posted the following:
“Ok, want to get this out the right way. Last night I received a call from @wwe Chairman Of The board
@VinceMcMahon to let me know after 36 years of dedication to @wwe i an no longer needed. I’m ok withthis. I will still be around to help talent. More info will follow. Thanks”

The Brisco Brothers joined WWE in 1984, but later retired in 1985. Gerald Brisco started working backstage as an agent. He later started making appearances on TV as one of Vince McMahon’s stooges, and went on to become a talent scout in 2010.
Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.
