'Must never hit fellow employee' Drew Galloway (McIntyre) disagrees. Considering they weren't fighting each other but fighting fans in a bar don't see how this applies

Im not Bertos biggest defender. And beating the crap out of someone isnt cool. "Take my job, not my dignity" is right on the money though.

www.pwmania.com/top-wwe-stars-reportedly-side-with-alberto-del-rio-will-he-speak-out-in-us-soon-moreAlberto Del Rio will reportedly be doing media appearances in the United States soon to go into more details about what happened with his WWE departure. Del Rio’s representatives have contacted indie wrestling promoters in the US and said that Del Rio will be taking bookings for autograph signings and matches in the US very soon because he doesn’t feel that WWE’s one-year non-compete that keeps him from doing MMA and pro wrestling, while not paying him, will hold up in court. Del Rio’s asking price for indie bookings is said to be extremely high. Del Rio has been upset about WWE’s social media worker Cody Barbierri not being fired for the incident they were involved in but for legal reasons, hasn’t been saying anything like that publicly. At first Del Rio was going to speak out in the US media but decided against it. Now, his lawyers have reportedly given him the green light to speak out in the US. It was also reported by those close to the situation that when Triple H called Del Rio about the departure, he told Del Rio to keep his nose clean and when the heat died down, they would re-hire him in 6 months. Del Rio said he wasn’t interested in coming back. Top stars including Big Show, Randy Orton and John Cena all told Del Rio that they would push for him to be re-hired because most of the locker room was sympathetic to what had happened. Again, Del Rio made it clear he didn’t want to come back.

Good job, WWE. Fired the guy who was a victim of racism. Kept the racist on staff. Upset some of your top guys. All over a guy who can easily go elsewhere, bury your company with impunity, AND HAD ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR ALREADY.
A cunning strategy.
No. Wait. Not cunning. What's that other word?

Wow so Del Rio might be the one who actually challenges the BS no compete clause in court.

Wow so Del Rio might be the one who actually challenges the BS no compete clause in court. He will perhaps challenge his own NCC, which is not the traditional NCC that WWE issues, which I think is completely legal. Del Rio's NCC is more restrictive than the typical NCC because he was deemed to have breached his contract. Reportedly Del Rio's restricts him from working in the U.S. in wrestling or MMA for a year and Del Rio also does not get paid at all. I believe Del Rio's own agent or attorney has confirmed this. This NCC may be found unenforceable or not legally binding because it could be judged to have placed an unreasonable restriction on Del Rio's ability to make a living. I think WWE's traditional NCC would stand in court because the talent only has restrictions for 90 days and they are compensated during this period. Once that 90 days are up, they are free to work anywhere in wrestling or MMA. A similar case was when Brock Lesnar challenged his NCC. People sometimes say he won his case, but I am pretty sure WWE quickly moved to settle with him due to a judge hammering WWE in his or her questioning of WWE about Brock's NCC.

I love how Del Rio repeats he can't give any details then proceeds to tell all the details of the incident in this interview.

Besides not making a living, if he competes in the U.S and WWE takes legal action, it brings upon a BUNCH of more legal stuff that WWE wants to avoid.
Which is why Homeboy Social Media is still employed.
The controvery comes from their coniving tactics in refusing to own up to just how corporate they are these days. And trying to clutch unto their wild, wild west days. Nuh uh. Cant have your cake and eat it too. I hope Berto grips their balls tighter.

It's just an ugly situation all around, really. If just one of the social media guy (by not making a racist joke in the first place, or apologising for it), Del Rio (by not hitting the guy in response to his non apology) or WWE themselves (by providing an environment where Del Rio wouldn't have felt hitting the guy was necessary to keep his standing among "the boys") acted differently, this whole situation may have been avoided.

And please let us know what is this more bunch of legal stuff that WWE wants to avoid. They canned a guy who assaulted another employee. Yes it was over a supposed racial joke. Doesn't excuse it. Especially when the employee is already on record as saying he handled that incorrectly and shouldn't have done that. If anything ADR has been very classy in this whole thing. I can see him getting that 1 year no compete clause rescinded to possibly a normal 90 day paid termination or even gotten rid of entirely. Really don't see all this more legal stuff they are worried about. Unsafe work environment? Doesn't sound like it. I'll wait though, cause I mean I'm sure their balls are starting to hurt.

Wut? And please let us know what is this more bunch of legal stuff that WWE wants to avoid. The other legal stuff was the prior lawsuit cited in the article when Big Show assaulted a tech guy. Tech guy issued a lawsuit against Wight and the 'E for fostering an unsafe work place Which is why the social media guy kept his job despite disorderly conduct at work ala (but not really) Berto. See? I like to recap. Its fun. They canned a guy who assaulted another employee. Yes it was over a supposed racial joke. Doesn't excuse it. Especially when the employee is already on record as saying he handled that incorrectly and shouldn't have done that. When did I excuse Del Rio assaulting the guy? Hell, even Del Rios admiting to it with a smidge of regret. If anything ADR has been very classy in this whole thing. I can see him getting that 1 year no compete clause rescinded to possibly a normal 90 day paid termination or even gotten rid of entirely. Really don't see all this more legal stuff they are worried about. Wait, now its my turn: wut? Every news report, and even Del Rios own interviews, and his buddy K-dawg telling anyone that will listen, that he is most certainly not happy about a single thing. I do see WWE bitching out (again) and altering the contract or simply not doing anything if/when Del Rio competes in the U.S Unsafe work environment? Doesn't sound like it. I'll wait though, cause I mean I'm sure their balls are starting to hurt. Nah, i'd say its that deep-rooted blue ball tension at this point.

I don't correlate a racist comment and a guy that sounds like he confused kayfabe and reality but whatever.They canned a guy who assaulted another employee. Yes it was over a supposed racial joke.

Really don't see all this more legal stuff they are worried about. Wait, now its my turn: wut? Very simply saying out of all the parties involved in this he seems to be handling it with the most class and dignity. Never said he was happy, but he just comes out, says his peace and gets on with things.Every news report, and even Del Rios own interviews, and his buddy K-dawg telling anyone that will listen, that he is most certainly not happy about a single thing. I do see WWE bitching out (again) and altering the contract or simply not doing anything if/when Del Rio competes in the U.S How is making a good business decision "bitching out" In the real world that's called smart.Unsafe work environment? Doesn't sound like it. I'll wait though, cause I mean I'm sure their balls are starting to hurt. Nah, i'd say its that deep-rooted blue ball tension at this point.

WWE’s one-year non-compete If that is true someone must be really pissed. I mean, one year?

Nor do you in the UK
But I would hope in both countries that making a racist slur at work is enough to get SOME degree of punishment.
Has the social media guy faced any yet?
