Abraham Washington – The Kobe Bryant Joke That Ended His WWE Career

WWE manager Abraham Washington had a gimmick: a live headset mic that let the whole arena hear him hype his clients during matches. Then one fateful day, mid-match, he described Titus O’Neill as “like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado—HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” The reference was to Bryant’s 2003 sexual assault case. WWE went into immediate damage control and apologised before the show was even over. Washington was sacked less than two weeks later. A decade of WWE career, gone in one stupid line.
