WWE Latest News: Former Manager Says Fans 'Too Hard' On The Company's Creative Team; Neck Surgery For Randy Orton
Former World Wrestling Entertainment manager Armando Estrada defended the company's Creative team from fans, while veteran superstar Randy Orton will likely require neck surgery.
The 36-year old Estrada (Hazem Ali in real life), began working with the WWE in 2006, as the manager of the late wrestling big man "Umaga" (Eddie Fatu by birth).
He left the WWE in 2007, where he worked with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and in smaller promotions within the professional wrestling circuit. He returned to the WWE in 2010, only to be let go of the company in 2012.

In a recent interview with Busted Open Nation, Estrada went on to respond to WWE fans, who often make comparisons to some television shows. According to him, the company's Creative team is doing their best to create quality content, adding how challenging it can be to constantly churn out material.
"Think about how much content these guys are asked to come up with on a weekly basis, every single week," Estrada said. "It's very challenging to keep it fresh, to keep it interesting. At the end of the day, Vince is getting a nice check from NBC Universal for producing 'X' amount of hours and you know what? People are still tuning in."
Most recently, former WWE Superstar Mick Foley also criticized the company for its content, and even went as far as saying he will no longer tune in to Monday Night RAW.
Meanwhile, veteran Randy Orton may be required to undergo neck surgery. In a report by The Examiner, it will be the second time Orton will be going under the knife since his shoulder surgery he had at the start of the year.
The said neck surgery is mainly to clean out bone chips, and if it does push through, Orton will be forced to the sidelines for another three to six months.
