Our own Ed Boston has made several comments recently regarding the use of an open mic by Abraham Washington known on WWE television as “A.W, owner of all world promotions”.
This week on WWE Raw he made a no so PG friendly joke, Michael Cole apologized for Washington’s off the cuff remarks but the media heat continues.
A.W. was making reference to the sexual assault allegations brought against Kobe Bryant in the summer of 2003 where a 19-year-old hotel employee filed a sexual assault complaint. The case was later dropped when the accuser refused to testify . A civil suit was later filed by the woman in which Bryant settled out of court and issued an apology but admitted no guilt.
“WWE has taken appropriate action in the matter.”
says a rep for World Wrestling Entertainment
A.W. immediately apologized to the WWE, including the McMahon family, and several wrestlers … and has also vowed to refrain from making similar comments in the future. according to TMZ
