2004 was definitely the golden age of cringey white people talking in "ironic ebonics"

I'm surprised Peacock doesn't just go the Warner/Disney route with putting a disclaimer up front about how these were depicting different times and are not their current views. It seems like that goes a long way with most people; that way the product gets blamed, not the network for showing it.

The problem with this is that you can't really play the "we didn't know racism was bad sorry guys :(" game with segments from loving 2004. WWE knew exactly what they were doing with poo poo like the Mexicools and Muhammad Hassan, and many of those same people are still in charge today.

When the heir apparent of the company is doing blackface skits in 1998, you don't have any room to make excuses.

I defend Levesque SLIGHTLY on that because the Chyna videos including a WWE parody porn with a McMahons incest theme. Otherwise...yes, hypocritical bullshit.

Maybe they're just mad that she got to do the incest storyline and they couldn't

Still cracks me up that they had Tanga Loa, literally the son of Haku, pretending he was Mexican

I remember that Tatanka return being both brief and totally out of left field

IIRC they were planning to give him a real run and then changed their mind when he showed up woefully out of shape
