What a mess this turned out to be. Now this is something that felt like it was at least 10-15 years ago, but it was only 7 years ago. I haven't heard ANYTHING about this guy since. Is he officially blacklisted from WWE or something?

I mean with his post-firing response he's not doing himself any favours, but he's not a dude WWE was ever going to do anything with again; he had a three year non-wrestler stint that's only memorable because he said something really stupid. He got chewed out, and then dropped after that over bad press, and I'm going to wager they gave him the 'just lie low until the heat is off' treatment they've given plenty of people before and he pulled an Enzo about it, so now he's just not going anywhere.
As for the 'since', I mean he was someone who in developmental got looked at and told "We think you're an interviewer", which says a lot about his ring skills, he was never breaking out onto the indie scene. To my knowledge he's working like one small scale Florida indie and that's the extent of it.

At any point between that RAW and his release, a simple "yeah my bad" humble pie would have saved his entire career. So its hard to feel much sympathy for him.

It's his own stupid fault. If he'd just kept his head down they'd have brought him back once it blew over but he had to throw a fit over it.

I was just thinking about this. I was not sure how to mention this in other threads. "He's like Samoa Joe (Tommy Dreamer) at a hotel catering! ... he's unstoppable!"

I thought he was brilliant to be honest.
Loved the Abraham Washington Show and AW Promotions had a ton of potential.

I was a big fan of Abraham Washington, shouldn't have given him a live mic with no script though.

I was a big fan of Abraham Washington, shouldn't have given him a live mic with no script though. On one hand, yes. On the other, I think it's a reasonable expectation that a trusted talent wouldn't make a rape joke on a family television show.

At the time I didn't think the line was too bad because in 2012 I still had a long way to go learning about social issues, but then like the next week or so he was still on the live mic and made a joke about Rosa's domestic violence thing and I was like "Oh boy this dude is an idiot"

Man, I did not remember him being on tv after the whole unstoppable situation. ^ Is there clear quotes about the Rosa thing? Interesting.
