Negative Reaction To AW’s Firing, He Could Get Hired Back
-Wrestlers are said to be upset by AW’s WWE firing on Friday after his continued use of offensive and inappropriate comments on live television and social media, including making a rape joke on the July 30 episode of RAW. The reaction is said to be as negative to any termination in a long time.
AW slammed the WWE in a series of Twitter messages for what he called double standards. He pointed out Big Show making a remark about the Kobe Bryan sexual assault case years ago, and said that Vince McMahon ignored the anti-bullying campaign by making fun of Jim Ross’ Bell’s palsy.
Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer posted on the F4Wonline.com message board: “The more he says, the better his chances of being brought back in a while. Vince has no respect for people he bullies and don’t fight back. He hired Bischoff, Bret (spent ten years begging for him to comeback and even brought him back after Bret walked out on him the day of Mania), Sable, Billy Graham, yet never touched Heenan except for one shots. I doubt even he knows it but he’s playing it smart in the long run.“
