"Gabe, thanks for the swift action here. Hope Evolve can remain a safe, positive space for all as it continues to grow/change."

Yeah it wasn't the best of things to say. Funny, but really not smart at all - especially not on air. Still not sure why there was such outrage over it, but not really something you should be joking about on unless you're specifically told to do so. Sure he won't be out of work long though... some wrestling company will take him to do something.
Joey Styles just can't catch a break ehh? lol

Gabe Sapolsky, who heads up EVOLVE, then tweeted the following:
This led to people saying that he should be fired if you're that furious with him.
