WWE released producer/agent Dave "Fit" Finlay yesterday.

Finlay was said to have gained heat and criticism for booking The Miz to interrupt the national anthem at a recent house show in which a number of National Guard representatives were in attendance, of course a sponsor of WWE. Word got back to WWE management that the reps were not impressed and they decided to release him. 

Finaly has been with WWE since 2001 as a trainer and returned to the ring between 2006-2011. It is hoped when this blows over he will be able to return being a popular and well liked figure backstage.
