[Breaking News] Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci Fired by WWE for Involvement in Drug Scandal

WWE talent executive Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci was released today by WWE.

Bucci worked as an executive in all the WWE developmental territories. Dave Scherer of PWInsider.com is reporting that the word among the wrestlers is that Bucci was called in for a meeting today by WWE in the wake of his name being mentioned by the New York Daily News yesterday as being someone on the list of workers named in the Signature Pharmacy growth enhancing drug scandal.

Bucci's dealings with Signature Pharmacy took place when he was still an active wrestler, not a manager.
