Maybe the newer crowd has but I think as a long time wrestling fan after being spoiled with the previous talent that I find a hard time buying into him.

And yes I did watch it, not live but I saw the full show of it on youtube and the match lasted what 18 seconds? They blew that match off right away, shows just how important it was, and I was happy it ended so quickly because I wasnt that interested in it, the quick ending was a pleasent surprise for me.

WWE Apologizes for Kobe Bryant Rape Joke

0730-wrestler-kobe-bryant-wwe-article-1.jpg

The WWE has issued an full apology after an on-air personality joked that one of the wrestlers was "like Kobe Bryant at a hotel room in Colorado ... he's unstoppable."

It all went down during a live broadcast of "Monday Night Raw" ... when a manager named Abraham Washington -- who was wearing a live mic -- was ringside for a match involving a wrestler named Titus O'Neil ... and during the action, A.W. let the Kobe crack fly.

The comment is an obvious reference to Kobe's 2003 sexual assault case -- when he was accused of raping a woman in his hotel room in Eagle, Colorado. The accuser eventually reached a settlement with Kobe and dropped her case.

A rep for the WWE has issued a statement to TMZ ... telling us, "A.W. made an inappropriate comment and WWE immediately apologized."

The rep adds, "WWE has taken appropriate action in the matter." It's unclear what kind of "action" the org. has decided to take.

Sources tell us A.W. "felt horrible" after he made the comment ... claimed he simply "got caught up in the moment" ... and realizes the comment could be hurtful to rape victims and their families.

A.W. immediately apologized to WWE honchos, including the McMahon family, and several wrestlers ... and has also vowed to refrain from making similar comments in the future.

Really? They apologize for that? This is why the WWE will never be anything decent anytime soon. Too much ass kissing and tip toeing with Linda trying to become a senator.
