That's a good thing.
Before anyone says, Del Rio wouldn't come back, anyway, and already wanted to go, not to mention that he does not disagree with their decision to terminate him, but the sticking point has been the no-compete being so absurdly long.

Well, they burned their bridges with a multi-time former champion with near-limitless potential (provided he's written well)...but at least they didn't need to look for a new Twitter guy for a few months.

Obviously, this guy made some offensive remarks and deserved to be censured for it, but does anybody else get the feeling that the WWE was thrilled to have an excuse to let Del Rio go?

From the way the report reads, he left on his own, he wasn't released. He may have essentially been forced out, but it didn't seem he was released, which he should've been from the beginning.

FTC They had to wait. Firing him immediately afterward was going to open up a lawsuit over the slapping thing, at least waiting a bit and after letting the guy who did it go they've pushed that out of the way a little bit and they can claim the guy was just cut as part of budget cuts or something.

Exactly, now they've got their bases covered. Plus as has been said, Bertie admitted that he agreed with their decision to fire him for slapping the guy.

That and he already knew and so did the company that he wasn't likely going to re-sign, anyway. I think he had made quite a lot of money while with WWE, but he had plateaued and was interested in going back to Mexico. Probably making less, but he'd be a bigger fish, and beyond that, he'd be traveling less and probably saving a comparable about of money, anyway, as his bottom line.

It's hard to believe a guy who is part of the P.R. Machine and who supposedly knows the power of social media made his racism so obvious. How can he get work after this.

Totally, the only way this couldn't backfire on him was if he were called John Smith or something. Due to his unusual (and ironically enough Southern European sounding) surname he stands out massively if you search for him on google. The first two pages of a google search of his name are all stories on the ADR incident with a few in Spanish. Pretty much all corporate employers do google, facebook, linkedin and twitter searches on anyone who applies these days. I feel, sound and am old but kids at school now should have to take some sort of course on how social media/the internet can really mess up your life if aren't smart.

It's gonna be hard as hell for him to get a job with the nickname "racist Twitter guy". Oh well, that's what you get for being a racist Twitter guy.

I'm not happy that he lost his job, I just hope he learned from his mistakes.
I hope they offer Del Rio's his job back, violence isn't the answer, but releasing a victim of racial bullying does not look good for them, a suspension would have been fine.
