No wonder they never responded to my package.

I always wondered if/when the Worldwide Leader would be affected. Now I'm surprised it's only a hiring freeze and no layoffs considering how massive the Bristol Empire has become.

And this comes after rumors about Pat O'Brien (formerly of CBS Sports/Access Hollywood/The Insider) possibly making ESPN his new home began to spread?!

They might still do those, you'll just have to get to Bristol and get your own hotel if you win.
They might throw in some snacks.
