OFFICIAL RACIST
On Dominic Dijackovic's white nationalist tweet:

quote:

I don’t get why this is such a big deal, look I understand the political climate we’re currently living in and all that you know the mess that comes with it. But I don’t get anytime professional wrestling we have a controversial gimmick there’s an issue we say you watch wrestling and you’re supposed to suspend your disbelief but anytime we do anything in a political sense everybody gets their panties in a bunch I don’t understand what’s the point to get to you made. What is the problem with them having a white nationalist gimmick??!wrestling is a television show I don’t get why people get offended all the time unless these guys they’re just heels and the faces will get the last laugh end of the day so what’s the problem? Like I remember listening to a podcast and they were saying how uncomfortable the Del Rio and Jack swagger storyline was from wrestlemania 29 and I’m just sitting there thinking to myself why do people get this offended by a wrestling storyline if you don’t get offended by a film that does this then why get annoyed by WWE doing you get its ork so why does it loving matter?? it’s stupid man it’s like these guys are really going out here and doing racist poo poo which they won’t be because again they’re loving actors!!! what’s the problem. Also I’m not white for those that’ll came me a nazi.

God bless Reddit. Such a terrible site.

I mean the gimmick is tasteless because A) It drives away viewers, and B) Some people watch wrestling (or another show of their choice) to escape all of the drama of the real world.

The Swagger/Del Rio storyline was bad because the end of their feud was Dolph Ziggler trying to help finish the crippling of Del Rio to massive cheers.

If he hadn't tagged politicians in it, I'd say he was aiming for a Rorshach type speech.

I know The Big Trump Fundraiser appears to be terrible fan fiction but unfortunately their terrible white nationalist gimmick was not created by fans. It must be discussed in an appropriate thread or with the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Did anyone post the people who were mad Dave RTed pictures of the Kofi shirt that WWE put up before his title match was over?

On the flip side, I think it is unreasonable to be upset that the most prominent voice in wrestling journalism made note of the fact that WWE had openly put on sale merchandise spoiling a major title match at their biggest show of the year before it happened. If he hadn't reported it, I'm sure there would have been people saying,"I thought you were a real journalist but you deliberately sat on a story about the biggest company in the world loving up on their biggest day of the year?"

Why would you be following Dave Meltzer and specifically looking at his tweets during a title match if you cared about the match and not getting spoiled? It's not as if the fact he comments on future plans is obscure.

Unfollowing Dave during the show just to follow him after the show seems kind of labor intensive. But there was also a Bryan shirt up at the same time, so, shrug.

I mean, I think the bigger issue is that the reporting doesn't necessitate the spoiler.

Like, news sites reported on Avengers Endgame getting spoiled without tweeting the spoilers. He could just say "According to ______, WWEshop may have spoiled outcome of match with t-shirts."

This is the real answer. I once got spoiled on the finish of a match by WWE's own twitter account. Just avoid twitter if you care about a finish. :|
