WWE News Suspended WWE creative team member made controversial statements regarding Barack Obama May 19, 2008 - 06:38 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Michael Hayes, the suspended Smackdown lead writer, made derogatory statements regarding Barack Obama that WWE officials feared would come out before the U.S. Presidential candidate appeared on the show. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Hayes asked, "How can we have a President that can't read the constitution?" He also reportedly stated, "If that boy gets elected, I'm moving to Canada." Powell's POV: It's amazing that the mainstream media hasn't picked up on the story. What's more amazing is that despite all the things Hayes has said over the years, he is still expected to return as the Smackdown lead booker after his suspension concludes.
