"Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As one of the most prominent concentrations of African-American businesses in the United States during the early 20th century, it was popularly known as America's "Black Wall Street" until the Tulsa race riot of 1921, in which white residents massacred hundreds of black residents and razed the neighborhood within hours. The riot was one of the most devastating massacres in the history of U.S. race relations, destroying the once thriving Greenwood community. Belee Dat."

Medgar Evers, World War 2 veteran and black activist, worked to enact voting rights and desegregation, campaigning individual cases for acceptance into the University of Mississippi. He was buried with full military honors after being assassinated in 1954 by Byron de la Beckwith, a member of the White Citizens' Council, over concerns of black integration into schools. de la Beckwith would remain free after two mistrials, but would subsequently be convicted over new evidence, in 1994.

I think it's inherently novel for WWE to use Black History Month for something other than the second grade public school curriculum.

I cottoned on that the turn was coming when Jericho gave the heartfelt and sincere spiel about what KO meant to him but I thought and hoped for a half second that "The List of KO" meant "A List of Kevin Owens' Dear and Special Friends" after learning Jericho was on it.

Throwing a tantrum because people disagree and peacing out of the thread isn't a meltdown I guess?

Kelly Kelly can't run the ropes the most tedious thing to hear. That what you showed up to see? Ladies bouncing off the ropes all "BOING BOING BOING" until the match stops from outside interference? gently caress off.

She came from the era where everyone was either a fitness model or a traditional model where most matches were clusterfucks to fit as many women as possible on TV and they all ended in roll-ups

But Kelly Kelly did get a lot better before she decided being a model was much better for herself and having a roster full of more legitimate wrestlers will help anyone get better, just look at Nikki Bella.

Agreed


dsriggs posted:

Not being able to run the ropes is symptomatic of the bigger problem of a performer who wants to do less than the mimimum amount of effort to earn their paychecks. First-week trainees can run the ropes. She had years of experience in the largest wrestling organisation in the world by the time she quit & she couldn't.

She was otherwise not noticeably worse than the others save Natalya or Beth and better than AT LEAST Bri Bella. But time and again it's "The ropes! THE ROPES!"

If she wants to gently ease her stick body in an unobtrusive way in to the ropes to better keep said stick body from snapping, hell, I support her.

They thought to devalue WCW and what they built with DDP by making him a dumb joke.
