WWE is asports entertainmentcompany based inStamford, Connecticut.[1] Former employees (family name letters D–H) in WWE consist ofprofessional wrestlers,managers,play-by-play andcolor commentators,announcers,interviewers,referees,trainers,script writers,executives, andboard of directors.
WWE talents' contracts range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals.[2] They primarily appeared onWWE television programming,pay-per-views, andlive events, and talent with developmental contracts appeared atNXT (formerlyFlorida Championship Wrestling), or they appeared at WWE's former training facilities:Deep South Wrestling,Heartland Wrestling Association,International Wrestling Association,Memphis Championship Wrestling, orOhio Valley Wrestling. When talent is released of their contract, it could be for a budget cut, the individual asking for their release, for personal reasons, time off from an injury, or retirement. In some cases, talent has died while they were contracted, such asBrian Pillman,Owen Hart,Eddie Guerrero,Chris Benoit andBray Wyatt.
Those who made appearances without a contract and those who were previously released but are currently employed by WWE are not included.
