WWE releases top executive, Shane McMahon's new role with WWE, SD news Submitted by Brian Cantor on Monday, February 21, 2005 at 2:06 PM EST
-- WWE creative team member Bruce Prichard is once again on hiatus from the SmackDown! team. He is away dealing with personal issues.
-- WWE has formally released Barry Werner, the man behind WWE's magazines. Werner had a strong publishing background and was paid rather well by WWE, which likely implies money was a factor in the decision to let him go. For the time being, Shane McMahon will assume Werner's duties with assistance from his right-hand man Jim Monsees. Everyone in the magazine department will report to the duo.
