WWE News: AW released by WWE, unloads on Twitter

WWE manager AW has been released by the company according to WWE.com. AW took to twitter about 5:30 p.m. CT and started venting:

"AWPromotions is no more ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your support and hate, it's been a great run. Now I get to do me which isn't PG! @TitusONeilWWE & @DarrenYoungWWE thank you for allowing me to speak on your behalf. You guys are the best and I'm glad to call you my friends! I've offended the wrong people that taught me how to have ATTITUDE It was the #WWE that made me bold and now it has turned it's back on me. Let this be a lesson to up and coming talent in the WWE don't try and be great like the Rock or Stone Cold. WWE isn't the same. Just be normal, shut up and be a yes man so you can collect your check and feel like your special. #SELLOUTS!!

"I remember a time when the WWE didn't care about breaking the mold but now everyone is so afraid of their own shadow. Thanks to the fans who showed me support over the whole Kobe thing and to those I upset I apologize again. Remember it's entertainment folks. I really do hope Linda wins that election because If not then all of this BS has been for nothing." He then went on to retweet several comments that he receive from fans. You can follow AW on Twitter at @AWPromotions. [Thanks to Dot Net Member Kid Mojo.]

Shore's Slant: Wow, they took over a week to fire him for the Kobe Bryan joke? Seriously? That seems strange. I have no idea if he said something stupid on tonight's Smackdown, but I didn't hear anything last week that was out of lie, and then I don't remember anything from Raw this week. How very bizarre to wait this long.
