WWC Executive Committee Adds Ric Byrne as Talent Relations Manager

The WWC Executive Committee today announced an addition to their membership. Ric Byrne has been added to the Committee, filling the currently vacant role of Talent Relations Manager.

Ric Byrne’s history with the WWC begins at the very formation of the company. He’s been a solid competitor on both sides of the fence, holding and defending every major title in the WWC over the course of the past 7 years. Recent injuries forced him to the side, an event which frustrated Byrne to no end. Not content to be a background player, Byrne has been working hard at every WWC show since, trying to find a continued role within the company.

Executive Committee Chairperson Dustin Walken commented that “We’re very pleased that Ric Byrne has accepted the offer to join our ranks. His wealth of experience inside the wrestling industry along with his dedicated work ethic have made him the ideal candidate to manage, mentor and evaluate the WWC’s roster of talent on a permanent basis. We look forward to seeing the positive impact Mr. Byrne’s continued guidance to our established and upcoming talent will have.”

This does pose the question – Dangerous Damien Kass has been hinting for the past several months that he’s found a new mentor, with all the signs pointing to it being Ric Byrne. In fact, DDK was recently suspended for a show due to using Ric Byrne’s banned finishing manuever, the 3rd Degree. Byrne has denied the claim repeatedly, stating that DDK is “just using my name to try and get attention” – but then how does that mesh with the above photo, sent to us last week by an anonymous source? Are Byrne and DDK engaging in a war of the words in public, or is there more to DDK’s claims than Byrne has admitted?

Either way it goes, this relationship is one to keep your eye on as DDK is available to return from suspension at TitleClash 4 – but so far, no match has been announced featuring DDK. We here at wwcweb.com may not b e able to guarantee DDK has a match at the next show, but we can tell you that much like Ric Byrne, DDK can’t stand to sit on the sidelines. We’ll be keeping an eye out for DDK this Saturday at TitleClash 4 for sure!
