This piece of shit should be forced to watch the video of him crying when he got his job with WWE, and then they should film his firing to send him packing with a copy.

Not that I disagree with the he should be fired sentiment, the second you start putting your coworkers at risk, your ass needs to be gone, but I do wonder what would happen if WWE did fire Drake or Ryker given the things they've said and done. People have sued WWE for whatever they can, I do wonder if WWE fired them, would/could they sue WWE for wrongful termination and claim it was their politics that got them fired?

WWE would just say that their actions on social media are negatively impacting WWE's business. People have lost jobs due to what they post online, because that can hurt the company. And political party is not a protected class. Gina Carano lost her Star Wars gig thanks to her social media.

To be clear, she didn't get fired, her contract wasn't renewed. f*** Drake Wuertz, though, little QAnon Neo-Nazi brain-dead turd.

The amount of horseshit people in WWE can get away with is really really suspicious sometimes.

Oh and also don't slap your leg.

Dude is a main reason the Matt Riddle trial is going ahead with his involvement in writing a letter to the accuser saying her booking was dropped.
Not that this new thing isn’t a (very very good) reason to fire him but that basically put the company in a lot of potential shit depending on how that goes so he should have been dropped at that point.

They should have fired him for that ref group photo where he held up the White Power hand sign, but better late than never. Wow I hadn't even known about this but after giving it a Google, holy f***ing shit. That's exactly the kind of slimy move that that symbol is made for and I'm not surprised he got off without punishment for it because "it's just a joke bro lol u mad" but ughhh I need him gone like yesterday.

Kyle O'Reilly shoving Wuertz down twice last week on NXT was satisfying, and Wuertz' latest incident is proving why.

As my brother & very young nephew have just caught Covid despite being unbelievable careful for the past year, I cannot tell you how angry this moron makes me.
I don't want to hear any BS about 'it's just his opinion!' either. His 'opinion' is actively harmful to others, & their safety & health takes precident. It's not ok to shout "fire!" in a crowded theatre & defend the consequences with 'hey, freedom of speech bro.'

I've said it before and I'll say it again, nobody is ever going to be fired for having political beliefs that allign with Vince's. He'll eventually be fired if they get a lot of negative attention over Riddle, but otherwise he's bulletproof unless he says something out and out racist.

You won't hear none of that from us we all agree with you

Stephanie McMahon is a bad person. Triple H is a bad person. At best they're just greedy f***s, more likely they're all racist authoritarian scum. If you support WWE, you do so knowing your support, at the very least financially, benefits bad people.

Political party/beliefs is not a protected class, but I can see Wuertz bringing a religious discrimination claim if fired for this incident. Not that it would be successful, but I can see it being brought.

If he pulled this shit off at any other company, he'd be gone already.

Part of me kinda feels sorry for him, as he's clearly been radicalised by online propaganda. It's becoming a real problem and damaging a lot of lives now and Wuertz seems like he's in pretty deep.
