Malcolm Bivens, whom we can probably call Stokely Hathaway again now, is a very talented male.
Apparently, he decided his future prospects were better outside of the WWE System than inside the WWE System. While we don’t know the financial or creative details that contributed to his decision to tell The ‘E he wouldn’t re-sign, which reportedly led to them firing him today (April 29), we believe that he is right. As much as I loved Bivens with Diamond Mine, I’m even more excited to see the creative spirit involved in the production of stuff like this (along with new former WWE Superstar Dakota Kai) fully unleashed…
Bivens earlier this month announced a stand-up comedy gig on May 5, which was likely a sign that he is leaving the company he has worked for since 2019.
And when he finally gets this show on the road, I’ll buy tickets. Because the man makes me laugh even when I don’t mean to, like he did with this great WWE release reaction video in our sport’s history. I won’t spoil it* but see it through to the end.
Thank god you funny little man. I can’t wait to see what you do from here.
* This is funnier if you followed Malcolm thirsty for Xia (like many of us) over the yearsbut i think it works no matter what.
