I kind of doubt that he got fired for that joke, if anything it just became part of a snowball effect that lead to him being fired. I'm saying this partly because of what I read and mostly because I just really don't want to believe WWE would actually fire someone over something like that.
But I hated the guy's guts on WWECW, and his manager role didn't do him any favors with me, so I can't say I'm at all bothered by this decision.

I think the reason he wasn't fired right away was that he had the chance to apologize and make up for it, but instead he took to twitter to talk about how he was right and everyone else was wrong. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and in this case, it cost him his job because he wasn't able to do so. Have fun in the unemployment line. |

i like how this happens to a guy like A.W. whom people are up & down on, but if it happened to Christian or Cody Rhodes this board & most of the internet would BLOW the  up and basically boycott the WWE forever. |

Sounds like she was a whore to me, having sex with a married man. Nobody in the situation was raped, so how is it a rape joke? Seems to me, AW was making a joke at the expense of a whore. Just like you do.  You've got a point here. No she (that is actually a he) doesn't. A.W. made a joke at the expense of someone getting raped... not at the expense of someone being a whore. Anyways - I am done with this topic. I have already said what I wanted to say. I am not here to argue with people. |

Fair enough, but calling Melina (and other divas) 'whores' based on some dirtsheet reports and rumors is pretty senseless.

I don't have a point, but you run to change your sig to a picture of Melina to try and prove a point. lol

Did I get fired from a kid oriented show? Is my name A.W.? You guys have gone off topic and are talking about ME instead of A.W. Done. |

Because it's absolutely known Kobe raped that girl right? No. Stop acting so high and mighty about this.

WWE probably fired AW because they didn't trust him to not say anything else that would offend the general public and in sense rebound on the WWE in social media and just in general.
WWE is more censored now, and has been since it was turned PG. No more blood, no swearing and no remarks that could affect the company.

...Why has nobody said anything about Vince McMahon calling John Cena "his Ni***" in front of Booker T? That was an obvious joke .. oh cause it's the boss. nevermind.

That's just messed up. |

I wasn't really a big fan of AW's in the first place, but being released over that remark when WWE has done far more egregious things in the recent past is just flat out hypocritical. I hope Linda loses her Senate race because if she wins it, the TV product will suffer.

He brings up great points on twitter. Orton called Kelly a slut in an interview and he got nothing. Cena told gay jokes that made GLADD upset, the WWE apologized, and that was it. He really shouldn't have been fired. If they just had to punish him, a 30-60 day suspension would have been more justifiable. Haha so you're seriously going to compare two of top names/draws in the entire company to a manager who didn't even matter? Please, get real. People are acting like he was some integral part to the program, when he was just a sideshow manager. Good riddance, especially after acting like prick about it over twitter. Nobody should get any special treatment over anything. Simple as. |

While his release is unfortunate, it happens, and sure it's controversial, but he said the wrong thing at the wrong time. You can't blame WWE for what they did, because while most people didn't mind the joke, like myself, others did, and in a PG product, there are just some stuff you can't say or do. ![]() boards.possible virus/wooo/src/1344830075015.gif[/img] |
