He showed up late to a house show over the weekend, which upset the wrong people. He was released after RAW last night.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I imagine King is a little miffed, a bit at the brass, but likely more at Brian. Not everybody gets a second chance in WWE, and King probably stuck his neck out to get Sexay the break. "I swear Vince, the boy has changed, grown up, he won't let you down."

None of them were in the audience.
He seemed to drop the Sexay gimmick in the NWA-TNA as part of a legitimacy angle for his character. He would have had a much better chance of getting over if he was no longer a grandmaster upon his return.
At the very least, he should have been shifted to SmackDown to accompany the dead guy, the voodoo man and the evil republican. | StaggerLee

As with any investment, the risk would be greater but so would the possible rewards.
JR was also instrumental in the reclamation of Eddie Guerrerro, IIRC, so let's judge him on his whole portfolio and not his failures alone. | redsoxnation

I'm looking at it more along the lines of guys Jim Ross is signing now that he no longer is in charge of personnel, except to hire specific individuals he thinks should be hired. When JJ Dillon left the job and Jim Ross took it, did JJ decide to hire a few guys afterwards, regardless of whether they fit into the overall plan/philosophy of the company? If not, why should Jim Ross be involving himself in an area that has now been passed to Johnny Ace? | Alex

The fault in this argument is that Dillon was leaving for WCW, and Ross is still with the company.

| #20 Posted on 11.5.04 1912.50 Reposted on: 11.5.11 1913.35 | No, it wasn't cocaine at all. It was a body enhancing drug that is legal in the US and illegal in Canada. In his defence, Brian claimed that a friend of Steve Blackman's (who Brian was travelling with as well as Blackman) had put it in his luggage.
As for him getting fired again...when you get a second chance it's kinda wise to you know..show up on time and be humble. |
