Would you dare insult this behemoth, who calls himself “The World’s Strongest Man?”
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
But for some reason, writer Michael Hayes thought he could, and used racist language to boot, reported TMZ.com.
Hayes, who is the head writer for WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown!, has been suspended for 60 days – for allegedly using racial slurs in front of wrestler Mark Henry.
“Due to inappropriate behavior, Michael Hayes was suspended for 60 days with no pay,” a rep for the WWE released in a statement. “In order to return to work, Michael Hayes will be required to undergo further investigation.”
Hayes was rumoured to be thrown out while drinking at a party during Wrestlemania weekend, where reports said Hayes boasted to Henry that he was more of the N-word than Henry was.
Whether the 6 foot 1, 380-pound Henry hit Hayes in the face with a chair or gave him his signature move, the World’s Strongest Slam, is unknown.
