In a move that shocked everyone we've heard from, longtime WWE timekeeper and production worker Mark Yeaton was let go by WWE this week. Yeaton had been with the company for decades and his departure was described to me as a sign that "no one was safe" from the company cutbacks.

Beyond his on-screen role as timekeeper, Yeaton was very involved in ordering and maintaining materials WWE used for their rings and other logistical responsibilities.
