Del Rio got offended because his job is mowing the lawn.
What's wrong with slappin' a Social Media Manager?
No excuse? How about Montreal '97?
Racism & violence. This has to be a PR nightmare for BAStar
Starting to look that way, still just using his kayfabe name.
if somebody said that about me and i was hispanic id smack the shit out of him too.with that said nobody gives a spit about del rio and the wwe product will be better without him
It's likely a suck ass spot to be in. Being independent contractors, I don't think they're protected by many of the labor laws that employees have. There may very well have been nothing ADR could have done but smack the guy. Maybe racial harassment is viable for independent contractors, but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't apply to them. More than likely, even if he could have filed a suit or some sort of complaint, doing so would have cost ADR either a decent spot. He'd have become as relevant as Zack Ryder.
If they WWE wants talent to handle things more "professionally" in a way befitting a corporate workplace, they can't tolerate some of the shit that goes on there. You want to keep guys that throw around slurs, look the other way when someone takes issue and handles it old school style in five seconds.

I honestly didn't see anything racist when I read that joke, I thought "haha jabroni wash my dishes" not "haha spic wash my dishes".....I mean, you replace Del Rio with a Zack Ryder or Tyson Kidd and you get what? A joke about a guy low on the totem pole....like a Brooklyn Brawler or Harvey Whippleman doing odd jobs backstage justifying a job.
:hm:
interesting that they would even tweet out like that. Usually its super hush hush
I might agree if it were one of the boys near the top of the card. Their Facebook monkey isn't likely given anywhere near that sort of status where he can be making jokes like he's somehow above the talent. I think if Facebook monkey made the joke at a Brooklyn Brawler, the Brawler would be entitled to put the dude in his place.
the simple fact that WWE didn't fire that guy makes me think work.
With WWE in cost cutting mode, one would think this would be perfect to get rid of "facebook" monkey because WWE is looking to get rid of administrative jobs and not on air talent....Because this is the company that has fired high ranking executives for these types of circumstance.
And they still didn't refer to Del Rio with his shoot name.....That isn't raising any alarms here?
