Did Cameron’s Blog Get Her Fired from WWE?

The fallout from Cameron’s public shaming of the WWE and IWC just got worse.

Our very own Rob “Christopher” Wolkenbrod wrote an interesting article which praised Cameron for her willingness to speak her mind but didn’t shy away from the fact that the grand finale destroyed her entire argument:

"Everything seemed to be going fine, but then she implied that these wrestling fans live in their mother’s basements. Cameron is no writer, but this is unprofessional. If she would have just ignored the people who are looking for the attention by leaving out that last line, her already-provided arguments would have mostly been valid."

In the age of social media there is the irresistible draw for celebrities to get in a good zinger on their haters. (The kids call it “throwing shade”) It harkens back to the good old days of playing the dozens when we would insult our friends and try to one up the other, each of us trying to use Don Rickles-like mastery of this art form. Cameron was making good points, even if they included a fair amount of humble-bragging; “You can’t criticize me because I work hard.” Sure we can. It’s our right as fans. Just look at the Crying Michael Jordan meme. The greatest basketball player who ever lived isn’t immune to internet mockery so that means no one is off limits.

However, no one is arguing that threats or cyber-bullying should be condoned but Cameron’s choice to respond in such a public forum showcases the difficulty of keeping famous people out of trouble. Twitter and Facebook are such easy tools to keep in touch with both famous and “normal” people but those communications won’t always be nice and civil. It’s hard to blame Cameron for wanting to respond to these detractors but as a celebrity, she simply cannot. It’s not fair, but that is the reality of being a famous person. If you spend all of your time responding to people who don’t like you then you won’t get anything done. The time it took her to write this blog could have been better spent in the ring working to improve her skills.

That being said, it would be difficult to say for certain whether or not this blog was the deciding factor in WWE releasing her, but I’m sure it didn’t help her case. On the flip side, it’s hard to imagine the WWE releasing a top name like John Cena or the Bellas if they had simply voiced the same concerns as Cameron. The difference here is that both Cena and the Bellas have been in the business much longer and understand from experience that everything they say and do inside and out of the ring reflects not just on them but on the company.

If the Hulk Hogan saga taught us anything, it’s that the WWE will quickly distance themselves from any negative press and the fact that Cameron was still extremely green just made the decision easier. A more senior wrestler may have just received a scolding or possibly a suspension, but Cameron was nowhere near as indispensable as she may have believed.
