Former Writer Tom Casiello Discusses His Release from WWE

Tom Casiello took to his personal Twitter account to set the record straight on why he is no longer with World Wrestling Entertainment as Managing Lead Writer, overseeing the Raw and SmackDown writing teams: 

See, here's the thing you might not know about writers. We are nomadic. We lose our jobs all the times. I've lost 12 jobs in 20 years.

Not because I'm not good at what I do. But it's what happens with TV writers. We write somewhere for a few years, then we move on.

So believe me when I say there is ZERO bitterness, Ergo, no need to spend the next years of my life on podcasts bitching re: a job I loved.

The elimination of my position had NOTHING to do with my stand on the election, my sexual orientation, or anything else invented by websites

I have been open and honest from day one about who I am and what I believe in. And Vince was respectful of that.

Have I made it abundantly clear this is a non-story? Man, I hope so. Because signing on to THOUSANDS of mentions is a real headache.
