Joey Styles released

[Stopspot]

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Joey Styles was recently released from WWE. It was noted that the last tweet he made was on July 29th, days after he participated in a Facebook Q&A that was later deleted. During that Q&A, Styles discussed why Vince McMahon continued to push Roman Reigns.

"Bottom line is, if our chairman thinks he sees a future star as a babyface, that's how things are gonna play out," Style replied (h/t to Uproxx for the transcription). But the answer is Vince thinks it can work. He's been right much, much, much, much, much more than wrong over the course of the last 40 years. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna second-guess the chairman."

Styles has been with WWE since 2005, and had been working as the Vice President of Digital Media Content since 2008. He is most famously known as the voice of ECW during its entire time in existence until its bankruptcy in 2001.

I always enjoyed Joey Styles. Too underrated. He called hundreds of events, by himself. I wouldn't be surprised if Paul Heyman still owes him money.

Hope he does well.

I see nothing wrong in the comment he made, puzzled if he has been the reason for his exit.

Easily the rudest person in the pro wrestling business I've ever met. Hell, Shawn Michaels was more pleasant. I used to like Joey Styles before I met him and he was just so blatantly unpleasant that I couldn't even enjoy his commentary afterwards.

But at least he had a job in which I didn't have to listen to him or see him so it didn't bother me to have him around off microphone.

Edit: if that's the reason, it's a pretty poor reason even though I despise the man

Hulk Hogan calls a random black guy a Nope, on a private video, 10 years ago, and gets fired.

Joey Styles calls the president a Kenyan, Muslim, Marxist, Corrupt fraud on Twitter and on his WWE endorsed blog, and enjoys 10 more years of employment.

Eh I never cared for him. Anyone who is in the entertainment industry and treats people like crap irl can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.

Head of the web department from what I understand.

That's what type of job Vince gives you after you knock out a drunk JBL with one punch
