3) More On Why WWE Fired Writer
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has provided some more details about the firing of Kenice Mobley. This was the WWE writer who was fired after saying during a podcast that she didn’t watch WWE before she was hired. She also said that she didn’t know who Bobby Lashley was.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
As Fightful reported, writer Kenice Mobley was let go by the company after a podcast interview surfaced where she mentioned that she didn’t know much about wrestling, and specifically didn’t know Bobby Lashley’s name. Reputable sources within WWE have reiterated constantly that fan backlash did not contribute to her being let go. Instead we’re told that they actively discourage writers from speaking about the job, and several wrestlers and staffers felt disrespected by the nature in which she spoke about the wrestling business after being hired, being on the team, and not knowing who the primary characters were. Numerous across both Raw and Smackdown said that writers coming in without wrestling knowledge isn’t rare, but that the early effort is made to pick it up. Mobley hasn’t commented on the situation as of yet, and none of the wrestlers we spoke to had worked with Mobley directly.
My Take:
- Sapp added that if you are sending Kenice Mobley hate mail, you are a loser. I have to agree with him. She made a mistake, lost her job and now it is time to move on. No reason to pile on.
