More details on missing Wrestlemania 30 money, unhappy WWE Road Crews

WrestleMania XXX

Reports from last week said that WWE’s Vice President of Venue Merchandising & Operations, Alan Rebhun was dismissed right after WrestleMania XXX because of major concessions problems in New Orleans in which a large sum of money apparently went missing at the end of the weekend.

However, further reports and updates say that the vending company that Rebhun hired did not go bankrupt and while there was a shortage of money, some say it wasn’t a large sum. The sale of Merchandise at WrestleMania XXX outdid budget projections by $300,000 and was the second-highest sales recorded in company history, just $100,000 less than WrestleMania 29. The WrestleMania XXX Superstore cashed in $1.4 million in sales in over four days and the shortage of money that was reported last week was due to a theft at the Superstore.

The company brought in to handle WrestleMania XXX concessions has licenses for several NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB teams. Rebhun and several other WWE employees observed the company working the NBA All-Star game at the Superdome in New Orleans before considering them for hiring. The company’s bid to handle WrestleMania concessions was approved and signed off on by WWE officials higher than Rebhun.

Another situation rose up when a WWE accountant signed for a certain amount of cash and then claimed he was $5,000 short when making the deposit. A source close to the situation said that the WWE road crew was upset over the fact that the deal to run concessions weren’t given to them.

When released, Rebhun was actually told he was being let go for financial reasons, not because of misconduct.
