I'm not sure whether you're saying that to the music or to Big E's implication that the faction isn't happening anymore.

Because there was a small chance that it wasn't going to actually be an 'angry black guy stable' and people in general would like all three of them to be pushed some

Realtalk you really shouldn't be wearing a war bonnet unless you're an actual honored Native American warrior (which I doubt Renee is) and the trend of people wearing them for fashion is really awful. Here's a good article about it.

It hasn't really sunken in with people as a whole that it's a bad thing to do though and Renee hopefully and most likely wasn't being actively racist when she decided to dress up as a dead native american for halloween, but the thing to do isn't to yell at people for pointing out that she did a dumb thing, really

How many matches did he even have after he came out? The wikipedia page lists hilariously few matches but I don't know if they just were meaningless enough that they weren't filled out or he just hadn't ever been booked

Him and Titus were an amazing pairing, they covered for each other's weaknesses and played off each other to become so much more than the sum of their parts it's almost dumbfounding. Too bad tag teams are worthless in the eyes of Vince.

It's a good thing titus dropped him and paired up with heath 'attempted rapist' slater instead then, can't have a good thing last

Young is a good wrestler and talker and has charisma, so he should be getting TV time and around IC/US title level.

hey now if they pushed solid wrestlers with charisma they'd have a show full of decent-to-great matches and that just can't happen! you'd need at least two and a half hours for all that on a show. maybe even three if you could trust people to sit around for that long, but who would

it's really funny that people are so used to cheering heels that the best-thought-out heel move in ages is seen as bad because they didn't cheer for it

it's like what he did at the start of the match -- free heat by delaying the match actually happening because people were so excited for it to start

it's A+ writing

Because when you say "I identify as an attack helicopter" you are doing nothing but mocking trans people. That's the whole point of that "joke." When you are a grown man dressed as a dinosaur who is speaking as if he truly believes he is a dinosaur, you are mocking the grown man dressed as a dinosaur.

It may well be in poor taste but to suggest the butt of the joke is intended to be anyone but himself is absurd.

the riffs on the "my culture is not a costume" posters are a thing outside of the joke he was making and are actually factually used in the same way that the attack helicopter stuff is used, you're just much more familiar with the dogwhistle nature of the latter

could it be used as a meme by somebody who doesn't realize the implications and didn't reflect on it at all? yeah, and literally nobody was saying it was anything more than that. it doesn't mean that it's *not* a lovely joke, just one of the ones that go under the radar for people who aren't part of the targeted groups
