Mark Henry and Big Show cheated and double-team attacked Rusev outside of a match. That's really weird!

This is surprisingly the thing that stood out to me most on Raw. Why the gently caress did two faces team up to double team a heel who didn't even cheat to win his match?

The face also encouraged the crowd to be racist. That whole segment was tone-deaf. I mean, even at the end you saw Lana looking super sad while Rusev was trying to get back up after being punched.

Rusev is a babyface and I'll not hear another word about it. He does babyface-style selling and he's booked as a face with the odds stacked against him.

Your favorite furry wrestler.
So last night I was wondering if See No Evil 2 was what I saw in that commercial or not since I was pretty sure it had already been released years ago, and looked up WWE Studios entire filmography and upcoming releases.

We're going to see Santino in December. He's filming a sequel to Jingle All the Way.






With Larry the Cable Guy.

I do have to wonder if it's not a coincidence Willie Mack got released right before his tryout. I could see them thinking one stocky black dude is enough and Uhaa would be a better fit as eh already has a better physique than most guys in the company.

With respect that's crazy talk. If anything NXT is in the beginnings process of hiring as many African Americans and Hispanics as possible. Kind of like Johnny Ace did at one stage.

Willie just failed a test sadly.

To be honest I think Big show and Mark are going to turn heel and start screwing with people because I really don't see WWE having faces act the way them two did on Raw.

Personally I just really want Rusef to win the US championship belt because that would make people so mad, especially if they hosed with the flag and replaced it with a russian one.

So Orton worked babyface for his match last night. His offense looks so good when he's not heeling it up wrestling slow intentionally. It's fun to watch and that RKO owned.

If the card does not get changed (there are still many days left for Jhon Cena to occur) then I am excited for HIAC. Maybe Luke Harper will start his big credible solo run there and eventually get over and beat Sheamus! Shame about Justin Roberts though.

It hasn't been officially said, but Sheamus vs. Miz and Ziggler vs. Cesaro are obviously locks for the HIAC card.

Big Poppa is fine.
Is anyone reminded of Ambrose/Cena being a lot like Austin/Hart in 1997? I wonder if they could pull with Cena what they did with Hart as far as Heel to one side, and Face to another.

Watching Cena start to lose it like Hart did in 1997 would be gold.

I don't know but Mike Johnson just reported Willie passed his physical - making the point it wasn't a Nigel McGuinness situation. Beyond that Mike said no one really knows what the situation was and we may never know citing Claudio's first WWE signing.

Willie got the call the middle of last week.

It's a shame that Reigns had to get surgery at the last minute, because this angle would make a lot more sense if it was him vs Ambrose instead of Cena.

e: On the other hand, Reigns would almost certainly win HIAC, so eh.

Rusev is a dickhead who insulted the crowd and the country and said he would break Big Show in half, attacked Mark Henry on the apron first then celebrated a DQ win by detonating a giant Russian flag and waving it in their faces like an rear end in a top hat

It's a fine once you're in the door. I can't imagine it's something they want to find in initial testing, especially considering you'd know about those tests well in advance.

It's not except the chant itself is racist. It's racist. Don't pretend it isn't.

They had Lana cut a heel promo saying Native Americans were treated poorly and the crowd booed her for stating that and then a crowd of mostly white people began imitating a Native American chant and waving their arms like tomahawks. If that doesn't look pretty insensitive just looking at those words then I don't know what to tell you.

She was clearly trying to bait out the chop. That's the only reason you mention native americans in Atlanta. The chop is racist but it's WWE's fault for giving the fans an obvious cue to do it.

i wondered if it'd be possible to have a single weekly thread (especially during the week that lividliquid is probated) that didn't find something to cry RACISM!!!!!! about

guess not, time to start whining about a wrestler using a local chant to get face heat

until the WWE starts having KENTA come out in a coolie with buck teeth, the wyatts come out in white hoods and mark henry come out in chains i don't think any one other than the people who spend all day looking for reasons to be offended on the internet are going to care

just imo
