UPDATED: A.W. Released From WWE – Continuing Coverage

“Unfortunately, Brian Jossie, playing the character of A.W. was terminated because he continued to exhibit poor judgment by making offensive and inappropriate comments on live television and on social media.”

That was the statement given to TMZ.com by a rep for World Wrestling Entertainment on Friday confirming reports that A.W. had been released by the WWE. The statement followed a collection of tweets from A.W.’s twitter account which included the following…

“It was the #WWE that made me bold and now it has turned it’s back on me.”

“Just be normal shut up and be a yes man so you can collect your check and feel like your special. #SELLOUTS!!”

“I remember a time when the WWE didn’t care about breaking the mold but now everyone is so afraid of their own shadow. #RemeberTheFans”

“Thank you WWE for creating me and then killing me because I only portrayed what I grew up watching… The #WWE!!”
