You Won’t Believe Why Vince McMahon Fired Top WWE Writer

Vince McMahon once portrayed the character pf the evil boss “Mr. McMahon” on WWE television. In all honesty, his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, the hero of every American employer who wanted to slap the life out of their boss, was the turning point in WWE’s fabled victory over WCW in the Monday Night Wars.

For many backstage employees of the WWE, real life mirrors kayfabe when it comes to dealing with boss McMahon. If you rub him the wrong way, hearing “You’re fired” in his garbled tone isn’t something very far off. The lead writer of Smack down recently learnt that the hard way.

He was recently fired from his position for reportedly angering Vince one time too many. Chris DeJoseph was considered as one of the key components of the blue brand. Let’s find out some more details about the incident.

Why did Vince McMahon fire Chris DeJoseph from Smackdown?

As per earlier reports, DeJoseph had a bad attitude during company meetings. There were also reports of an altercation with Vince on a zoom meeting.

However, Wrestling Observer Newsletter pointed out the most reported version of the story.

He was on a Zoom conference call with Stan Stanski, Senior Vice President of Creative Services, and Kevin Moore, Senior Vice President of E-Commerce and Venue Merchandise. It was reported that he talked to them in a bad way which attracted the ire of McMahon. That’s when the boss relieved him off his duties.

This comes on the heels of WWE removing Paul Heyman from his position as the head of the creative team on Raw. It was also reported that Vince is unhappy with the current direction of things in the company. That’s largely due to the poor ratings of NXT and Raw.

Vince McMahon is known to make impulsive decisions when he feels that things aren’t going according to what he planned. The axed pushes of hundreds of WWE Superstars over the years serve as some prime examples. It’ll be interesting to note the new creative direction that is taken by the company going forward.
