Jim Cornette Understands Why WWE Fired Mandy Rose

Mandy Rose was let go from her WWE contract on December 14th, to the astonishment of practically everyone. Mandy was fired from her job, one day after Roxanne Perez ended Rose’s 413-day reign as NXT Women’s Champion. Many people have commented on Mandy Rose’s release, and Jim Cornette is on that list.

According to reports, after learning about the “explicit nature” of the content Mandy Rose was selling on a private fan site, WWE felt they had “absolutely no choice” but to terminate her. Shawn Michaels made the last-minute call to pull the plug on her championship reign after hearing about how NSFW her premium content is.

Jim Cornette addressed the subject on his Experience podcast and said that from WWE’s perspective, he can see their course of action. The fact is that if WWE is going to be a TV-PG product, then they can’t have Playboy material on television anymore.

“In all honesty, and by the way, I’m completely pro-porn. But if they’re supposed to be [PG], they can’t do Playboy anymore, right? Because they’re a PG company, the sponsors they don’t want [it]. So I haven’t seen the material, so I don’t know whether it’s mild to wild or anything in between. But if the executives of the company that she works for said well she’s a featured person in NXT, and she’s the champion and all this stuff but holy sh*t, if anybody sees and finds out.”

“You know, that’s the thing if they say Jesus Christ, you can’t, you know, have an aunt Fanny out there in front of God and everybody. Whether it’s a private or personal deal or not, or whatever. If it’s going to show up on the internet in some fashion, this is probably something you should have not done while representing us, and we’re trying to do deals with Disney, then I understand that.”

Jim Cornette also commented on the subject of Mandy Rose’s source of income. He stated on his podcast that if the money from her fan site had even come close to matching what she was earning from WWE, she may have preferred to stay with it.

“The question becomes which endeavour was she making a bigger profit at? Was she making more money travelling all over the place, getting in a ring with people that are going to land on her and landing on sh*t herself and getting beat up or whatever the f*ck? Or is she gonna make more money in I assume a less violent setting showing off, as aunt Lola would say, what God gave her? So if it’s anywhere close, maybe that’s the preferable f*cking direction there.”

“But I would think I would understand why you can’t do both. They’d be playing video games with wrestling fans and making money at it, that’s one thing. Unless, while you’re sitting there playing video games, you go ‘I hate the f*cking WWE I can’t wait till I get out of there…’ Well, then that’s another thing. But no, not if you’re fiddling with the little man in the boat on the f*cking movie screen for everybody to see.”

Mandy Rose was let go from her WWE contract because of the material she placed behind her premium content paywall. In fact, Mandy Rose was not given enough time by the company to delete her NSFW content. That being said, she hasn’t slowed down on that NSFW content, either.

WWE also isn’t closing the door on Mandy Rose’s return to the company in the future. It remains to be seen what will become of Mandy Rose in the end. Stay tuned to Ringside News for more.
