WWE to release Mike Adamle

Earlier today, I read an article on the Lords of Pain website that reported former World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE] announcer and Raw general manager Mike Adamle [pictured above] is done for now as an on-air personality and the company could be done with him for good soon as both sides appear to be in agreement NOW that Adamle just isn't cut out for this job.

I would like to know what the heck took Vince McMahon and WWE so long to realize that Adamle, who has three-decades worth of play-by-play experience and was the voice of the original "American Gladiators" television show in the late 1980's and early 1990's, had no business in the wrestling industry, which most fans knew as soon as Adamle uttered "Jest Harvey" instead of "Jeff Hardy" at the 2008 Royal Rumble, which was edited out of the dvd-release of the event.

Why it took McMahon and company this long to realize this is baffling to me. I can understand McMahon wanting to give a job to a friend and trying to find a spot for him [ringside reporter, ECW on SciFi announcer and Raw General Manager] but Adamle's constant blundering made all that impossible and sometimes one just has to cut a man loose.

I still don't know which was worst though.....Adamle's constant blundering on live television or the fact he was making as much as Jim Ross with a salary of $300,000. Am I the only one seeing something wrong that?
