I'm in shock actually that Mark Henry was offended by that. Really? Most black people I know wouldn't take offense to that, because Hayes didn't call Henry a nigger, he said he was more of one then him. No one here has ever gotten wasted and made a racist joke? Really? Are you kidding me? Please. Step off the high horses gentlemen.
I'm not even slightly racist, and despise true racists of all kinds. But this sounds to me like Hayes got drunk and made a bad joke. What a monster.
Has no one ever heard of dark humor? Really?
I'm not condoning racism, and if one person responds in such a way, they can go fuck themselves.
Should Hayes have gotten punished? Yeah, definately. But 60 days? That's ridiculious. One bad joke and he's out of a paycheck for two monthes? Even if you hate Michael Hayes you have to see the absurdity in this.
First off, I personally don't think that Michael Hayes is a racist. Both Booker T and Bobby Lashley held titles while he was head booker on Smackdown. I think the comment he made to Mark Henry was an example of alcohal indueced stupidity. Even if he apoligised to Henry for what he said alot of people may have lost respect for him, especially any of the black wrestlers in WWE. Some people may not feel comfortable working with him anymore so I think it would be best if he never came back. Also it will be interesting to see how Smackdown fares without him.
There's a difference between joking around and bullshitting with people in your private life, and doing something in your professional life.
Any other fortune 500 company would have shown Hayes the door. I get what you're saying, but again, Hayes is a superior, and Mark Henry is a worker for him.
With the word out on Michael Hayes' 60-day suspension for using a racial slur towards Mark Henry, other individuals within the company are coming forward to management regarding similar past incidents involving the head writer of SmackDown.
A source claims that in one incident, Hayes mocked Dave Kapoor a.k.a. Ranjin Singh in a booking meeting. In addition to his on-air role as The Great Khali's translator, Singh is also a writer for the Raw brand. The alleged incident involves Hayes calling Kapoor a derogatory word, not to mention speaking in a stereotypical Indian voice to mock him. To make matters worse, the alleged incident occurred in the presence of agents, writers, and even members of the McMahon family, but nothing was done about it. Also note, Kapoor isn't the person complaining about the incident.
"I'm sure some will be b****** and just people looking to deliver receipts," the source said. "Others, well, unfortunately will be valid claims."
its sad any more with the wwe. all you hear anymore is drugs. michael haynes told everyone on mvp show last month (don't do drugs) well he did them. he is probly going to end up like the von ericks. DEAD!
Racism happens.
Racism happens.
Does that make it right?
Not in the perfect politically-correct world that most of our posters seem to live in.
I've told countless racist jokes, so many I couldn't even keep track of them if I wanted to. Does that make me a racist? No, that makes me someone who enjoys humor.
I highly doubt that Hayes is a racist, if he truly was a racist, he wouldn't be working with and developing stories FOR black wrestlers. That would make zero sense whatsoever for Hayes to want to push black wrestlers if he was an actual racist. Sounds more like to me that Hayes is just a bad drunk who doesn't know when to stop talking. I highly doubt Hayes is a registered Klan member with a shrine to Adolf in his closet.
If you think like that then nothing is right in this worl.
But it happens.
