This story just keeps getting worse and worse for WWE Commentator Michael Cole.
WWE had a problem on its hands this past weekend when Michael Cole tweeted a homophobic slur to fellow WWE commentator Josh Mathews. The tweet has since been deleted, but not before being picked up by TMZ and the media.
What makes matters worse here, is that WWE has just announced a partnership with GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, stemming from their discomfort with John Cena and some of his comments. WrestleZone.Com is reporting now that WWE feels that Michael Cole has embarrassed the company by shooting himself in the foot so soon after the announcement.
According to multiple, unnamed sources, WrestleZone claims that many in WWE feel that Cole has overstepped his boundaries here and has been letting his current push go to his head. They also claim that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon feels that Cole embarrassed the company, which he really has, if you think about it.
They also claim that at least two key insiders say that Cole would be fired by Producer Kevin Dunn if he wasn't so prominently featured on the WrestleMania card this year in his match against Jerry Lawler. The article also notes that there is no word on whether or not Cole has met with Kevin Dunn or Vince McMahon as of yet, or if there will be a meeting at tonight's go-home edition of Raw.
