Meanwhile, Rosa was granted time off to pursue legal action against her abusive ex that some may remember as Tyson Kidd's bodyguard, Jackson Andrews.

Times ain't that different from 2005 at all. Punk just told a fan to kill himself earlier this summer and got nothing.

AW is a black manager, not a former/present world champion. Simple as that.

What does black have to do with it?

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Well WWE did say it was continued misuse of social media, this might've been the last straw and the reason why they only fired him this week.

LMAO this makes it more embarrassing. They cut him for being in character. Fantastic policy. Its not like he called a paying customer a derogatory term for a gay person or told a follower to kill themselves. That business is one giant joke man.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Did Prince Albert ever get fired for his comments? I haven't seen him on TV, not that I'm complaining about that, but just wondering.

And that's terrible about what happened to Rosa, but c'mon, just take a look at that guy...

It wasn't over the line at all. You hear worse jokes on Conan for crying out loud. I thought it was funny.

Find me one joke from Conan that's worse. It's not that it's a joke about Kobe rape case that's way over the line. Daniel Tosh makes jokes about it all the time it was the actual joke itself.

Brian Jossie won't be stumping for Linda McMahon.

On Friday, the McMahon family-run WWE terminated its contract with Jossie, a wrestler-manager who goes by the stage name A.W.

Jossie wound up in the WWE's doghouse after making an ill-advised Kobe Bryant rape joke during a live broadcast of "Monday Night Raw" on July 30. The 34-year-old from Tampa, Fla., told Greenwich Time in a telephone interview Monday that it was a post from his Twitter account last Thursday telling his social media followers to support McMahon for Senate that ultimately led to his dismissal, however.

"#AWPromotion$ says vote for Linda McMahon!!! The PTP'z support Linda and so should you!" Jossie ended his Tweet with the hashtag, #voteordie4Linda

"That's how they show support for their employees who want to support Linda. They fire them. That's complete bull(expletive)," Jossie told the newspaper.

WWE, which is based in Stamford, rejected Jossie's claims in a statement from company spokesman Brian Flinn to the newspaper.

"WWE is a non-partisan organization. Superstars as well as employees are free to support any political party or candidate they choose," Flinn wrote. "Unfortunately, Brian Jossie, playing the character of A.W., was terminated because he continued to exhibit poor judgment by making offensive and inappropriate comments on live television and on social media."

Jossie said he received a phone call Friday afternoon from Jane Geddes, a former LPGA golfer and vice president of talent relations of the WWE, telling him he committed a major faux pas with his Tweet.

"For some reason they don't want to associate her with anything to do with wrestling because it's in the past," Jossie said of McMahon, the company's former chief executive.

"Vince (McMahon) doesn't want any association with her campaign. They told me it's two totally different entities, which I didn't know. I thought I was doing a good thing."

A spokesman for Linda McMahon, who is favored to prevail in Tuesday's Republican Senate primary, had no comment.

Jossie expressed regret for likening wrestler Titus O'Neil to "Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado" and calling him "unstoppable."

In 2003, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was arrested and accused of sexual assault by a 19-year-old hotel employee in Eagle, Colo. The charges were later dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify.

"If I had made a Jerry Sandusky or a Colorado shooting joke, OK, fire me right there," Jossie said.

Jossie complained that he was never suspended or put on probation by the WWE, which he accused of pandering to voters and consumers out of political correctness.

He also accused the WWE of applying a double standard between him and Mike Tyson, who the conglomerate honored earlier this year.

"The WWE put a convicted rapist in the hall of fame," Jossie said.

Several hours after he was warned to cease his Twitter activity, Jossie said he was informed he was being released from his three-year contract with the WWE.

Jossie's Tweets didn't end there, however.

A.W., short for Abraham Obama Washington in a play on the names of the presidents, had a Twitter rant for McMahon and her campaign narrative as a job creator.

"Creates jobs my ***! I'm fired thanks to you and your campaign."

Shortly thereafter, Jossie's Twitter privileges were suspended.

Jossie acknowledged that he has never met Linda McMahon and started with the company around the same time as she turned over the CEO's reins to her husband.

"I don't hate the WWE. I love the company," Jossie said. "But the way the politics are with her campaign, it screwed me."

He has a HELL of a point with the Mike Tyson stuff.

In 2010, didn't Vince have bumper sticker of Linda's opponent on his butt in a hospital sequence? But you aren't partisan

Wow, did he really do that? I mean, I've never been shocked by anything VKM does, but that's pretty crazy considering how serious they try to be w/Linda's political career.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

WWE officials considered adding Randy Orton to the Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio World Heavyweight Title match at Summerslam. The feeling was that the feud didn’t need him included, and with the WWE Title match already being a triple threat, the call was made not to use him.

While Orton has just returned to WWE television after sitting out his 60-day suspension, he will be taking time off again shortly to film 12 Rounds: Reloaded for WWE Studios.

- Damien Sandow and Brodus Clay were scheduled to have a match last night, but due to time constraints, their match was pulled from the show.

Gosh I wonder what that time could've went to?

Don't know what to think. The message isn't on his twitter anymore that I could see.

Rick Petko from Orange County Choppers, which is featured on The Discovery Channel's American Chopper television series, tweeted this message and photo: "Annealing aluminum for a WWE Championship belt"

Also, Tyler Reks asked for his release from the WWE and was granted it.

That looks a lot like the back view of this:

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

On Monday's RAW, we saw masked luchadors Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara join forces as a tag team. According to a report at PWInsider.com, WWE is looking forward to having the two superstars wrestle each other at WrestleMania 29 next April.

WWE originally planned a Mysterio vs. Sin Cara match at WrestleMania 28, with the idea being that WWE would hand out Mysterio and Sin Cara masks to the audience and set the Guinness World Record for the most masks worn in a public gathering. Both wrestlers were injured prior to the pay-per-view, which put those plans on hold. WWE has not given up on this spectacle.

The Mysterio & Sin Cara pairing is also being done because Mysterio is not 100% healthy right now and they want to use Mysterio to strongly endorse Cara, get his fans to follow the young grappler and pass the torch to him as WWE's next great Mexican hero.

There is a good chance Mysterio and Sin Cara will win the WWE tag titles prior to breaking up and wrestling at WrestleMania 29. Current plans call for the Prime Time Players to get a run with the gold, which would lead to Mysterio & Sin Cara chasing them this fall.
