WWE Writer Allegedly Dishes Racist Smackdown

Posted Apr 23rd 2008 7:02PM by TMZ Staff

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 ProWrestling.net reports 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."

9. is this the same michael hayes that used to be a wrestler way back when........

Posted at 10:18PM on Apr 23rd 2008 by anastasia

10. anastasia, you are correct. Its Michael P.S. Hayes. He isn't exactly a small guy. They make it seem like Michael Hayes is 5 foot 3 and 125 pounds. Wrong! He's over 6 feet tall himself & probably at least 250 lbs.

Posted at 10:56PM on Apr 23rd 2008 by RAMONE

11. Maybe Michael P.S. Hayes should remember where he came from before opening his mouth! Otherwise he could have ended up back on BAD STREET USA with the Fabulous Freebirds! Oh wait this isn't the 80's. Maybe Hayes forgot that before getting in Henry's face. Too big for his freebird britches?!

13. wtf is the big deal. first off Mark Henery called Hayes a Ni@@er first because of the suit he wore at the hall of fame cermony. then later in the evening when they had all been out. mark made a comment about Hayes being a CRACKER. and hayes said Mark "im a NI@@er than you are, remember the suit i had on eariler.." so its ok for mark to call him a ni@@er but Hayes cant repeat what mark said. and isnt CRACKER a racial slur also. once again its the black man useing the race card to get the white man in trouble. and wtf mark is 400 pounds if it really bothered him he should have done something about it at the time. not wait until the talent meeting a week later when hayes is on vacation to bring it up. look we all know that the blacks were used as slaves and so forth way back when, but quit using that as a fuc4ing crutch to get through life..

14. Uhh, I just wish black people would get off their over sensitive high horse. It's all good when you're calling someone a cracker, but drop one n bomb and jessie jackson's up your ass, what a crock. Last I checked it wasn't anyone alive that put your ancestors in to slavery, so get over it, move on and quit holding on to the crutch that is racism. It's not that big of a deal.

15. Blacks call one another the slang word all the time. I even say it to my black friends. We are allowed to say what we want anytime. We have freedom of speech. It's people like the M. Hayes bosses suspeding him for talking shi. That are taking America down. Soon we will be intolerant of our own right's and we will bestow illegals more rights than out own brothers and sisters.
