McMahon Fires Writer

PWTorch.com is reporting that Vince McMahon has fired head writer Jay Gibson. The release happened on Friday, a day after 11 releases were made.

PWInsider.com reported last week that there were no office cuts, so this is the first one of note.

WWE Stock Note

WWE stock jumped .34 cents per share on Monday. This is being attributed to the cuts WWE made on Thursday. WWE will be making more developmental cuts in the near future and the rise in stock is seen as a positive sign.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
