Updates on wrestler firings

Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) was fired for violating the Wellness Policy for a third time. He was found to have a prescription drug in his system and was unable to produce a doctor's prescription for it. (Note that if he had been able to do so, it would not have been a violation of the Wellness Policy at all.)

Cryme Tyme was fired because they performed their finishing move on a referee who was not expecting it or trained to take it. Even though they did this as a result of a joke pulled on them during the match by Cade and Murdoch (who got the referee to count fast at the end of the match, disqualifying Cryme Tyme), it was Cryme Tyme who came out of it looking like the bad guys, and they were released after the show. They are not burning their bridges behind them, so the possibility remains open that they will work for WWE at some point in the future.
