World Wrestling Entertainment has issued a
statement to TMZ confirming the 60 day suspension of Michael Hayes, Head Writer
of Smackdown, for the use of racist comments.
In a report filed April 23, 2008 at 7:02 pm by
TMZ staff, the celebrity news site posted There's no doubt that
using the n-word is stupid -- but allegedly using the n-word in front of a guy
that's over six-feet-tall, weighs nearly 400 pounds and calls himself "The
World's Strongest Man" is beyond idiotic. Enter WWE writer Michael
Hayes.
TMZ has confirmed that Hayes, the head writer for WWE's "Smackdown," has been suspended for 60 days -- allegedly for using racist language in front of wrestler Mark Henry. Michael's haymaker was supposedly thrown while out drinking at a party during the weekend of Wrestlemania, where reports say Hayes told Henry, "I'm more of a n----- than you are."
It's unknown whether or not Hayes was subsequently hit in the face with a metal chair.
A rep for the WWE released this statement: "Due to inappropriate behavior, Michael Hayes was suspended for 60 days with no pay. In order to return to work, Michael Hayes will be required to undergo further evaluation."
