Longtime annual WWE tradition has reportedly come to an end for the time being

WWE had been producing an annual “Tribute to the Troops” special since 2003 but it appears that the tradition has come to an end for the time being. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following…

“No more. It’s done. The year being up, I think in the last month, people kind of asking, like, ‘When they’re taping it?’ it’s like it just was not being taped. They had too many other things going on. And I don’t know if it’s done for good, but it was, this is the first year that they haven’t done anything with that. I think that [in] 2019 I believe they didn’t do a television show, but they still did events and they still taped stuff, but this year, nothing.

It was a Vince McMahon thing, and it’s not Vince’s company anymore, and you know, it’s not something that you’re going to advertise. ‘We’re not doing this anymore,’ but it quietly went away this year.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
