I don't understand why the WWE doesn't try to appeal more to the black community. Yes wrestling is a cac dominated form of entertainment but a lot of black people watch wrestling or watched it in the late 90's. If you ask most black people 27-40 if they watched wrestling in 1998-2001 you would probably get a lot of yes answers.The morning after reactions are exactly why the WWE needs to ingratiate themselves more to the black community, black folks on Twitter & IG are reacting likewhile the white crowd for the most part are

15 Things Racially Insensitive Things WWE Should Have Apologized For Instead of LaMelo Ball - Blerds Online
15 Things Racially Insensitive Things WWE Should Have Apologized For Instead of LaMelo Ball
1. HHH and Ric Flair - Nappy Headed Entertainer Carry My Bags
During their Wrestlemania feud HHH and Ric Flair weren't shy about the racial undertones used against challenger for the championship, Booker T. During the feud one moment arose when Ric Flair told Booker T a boy like Booker used to carry his bags back in the day. Ric is a well known racist, just ask Teddy Long. HHH also called Booker T a nappy headed entertainer who dances and send the people home happy. He then asked Booker to do a dance for him. Booker lost that feud and didn't become World Champion again until he left WWE.
2. DX - The Nation's Locker Room
During a feud between The Hart Dynasty and D Generation X the Nation of Domination was dragged in. The members of DX spray painted racial slurs across the Nation's locker room. They then blamed The Hart Foundation causing a brawl between those two stables. DX soon appeared and laughed at how they proved just how dumb The Nation was. More on this feud later.
3. The Mexicools - The Whole Damn Gimmick
Three legendary Mexican wrestlers sign with WWE. The next week they're dressed to do lawn care and riding lawn mowers to the ring. They were often seen sleeping backstage and generally being lazy. It was the Lazy Mexican stereotype personified.
4. Muhammad Hassan - Likely Terrorist
Muhammad Hassan's gimmick started with him talking about the racism and Islamophobia in America that he faced growing up here. But then it took a turn when he started having masked men beat and attack opponents and making veiled threats. Then the London Bombings happened and men who were dressed very similarly were seen on camera committing the bombings. WWE then wrote him off and pretended it never happened because they were likely going to turn his character into a terrorist. "But Darrell, you don't know they were going to make him a terrorist, that's like making a black guy a slave. They wouldn't do that."
5. Ted Dibiase - Virgil The Slave
Virgil was The Million Dollar Man's "servant." He did whatever Ted told him to do for money. He took beatings so Ted wouldn't have to and was constantly demeaned and reminded that Ted owned him. He was a damn slave.
6. Kung Fu Naki
They turned Funaki into a damn Jackie Chan Karate Kid parody. They had him walking around dressed like the Karate Kid speaking broken English and doing bad karate. Need I say more?
7. Roddy Piper - Soul Food
What if I told you Roddy Piper spent a couple of minutes taunting his black opponent Tony Atlas by asking him questions about Soul Food. You probably wouldn't believe me, but it's true. I know Piper is a legend and he's deceased but it's not his last entry on this list.
8. Roddy Piper - Black Roddy Piper
What if I told you Roddy Piper's opponent was a black man known as Bad News Brown, you'd believe it. What if I told you Roddy Piper painted half his face black to show he was a down soul brother? You'd think I was lying. But it happened, Black Roddy Piper even speaks in jive. I mean Bad News Brown even flat out called him a racist after he quit wrestling.
9. Roddy Piper - Coconuts For Samoans
Damn Roddy going for the trifecta and the win. WWE loves Samoans, especially ones they can do racist gimmicks with like Umaga and Jimmy Snuka. Speaking of Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper once smashed a coconut on his head because Samoans love coconuts.
10. Brock Lesnar - Mariachi Band
What the flying fukk? Brock Lesnar comes out with a mariachi band and dances mocking Eddie Guerrero and his pride for his Mexican heritage. Then he mocks Eddie's real life drug addictions. At least Eddie won this feud unlike Booker T. Eddie was also kind of pissed and you can see tears forming in his eyes during this one when he talks about how he's proud to be Mexican and his battle with addiction. If this one isn't racist enough for you there's also the time Big Show stole Eddie's burritos. The time they made Chavo into Kerwin White a self hating Mexican and so on.
11. JBL - Hunting for Illegals
JBL is a shytty person in real life so of course he'd be a shytty person on screen too. Often he hides behind the fact that he's friends with Ron Simmons when someone calls him out on his All Lives Matter Fox News bullshyt. But, let's talk about him hunting Illegal Immigrants at the Mexican Border. That's right, he went to the Mexican border hoping to catch illegals. Then he caught one and threw him back over the border because PATRIOTISM
12. DX - Blackface
I don't need to explain this one, but I will. DX was feuding with the Nation of Domination and decided to mock them. They put on black face and rolled to the ring doing their best racial stereotype impersonations possible. I guess this means HHH was our first black WWE Champion, not The Rock. So now we've got two. Also, Billy Gunn did the same shyt again 20 years later in TNA while HHH was calling Booker T a nappy headed entertainer.
13. Shawn Michaels - Kick The Black Out of NWO
I know you're breathing a sigh of relief that HBK wasn't in that. Well there was that time he was leading NWO. He said the group wasn't right and something just didn't fit in. Then he super kicked Booker T and all white guys beat up Booker T. They never explained why it was done. It was just "fukk Booker T" it's not like WWE never did that to him anyway. Shout out to his fake African Accent as King Bookah
14. Kamala - Really?
What the fukk? A black man from the jungles of Uganda who couldn't speak, only yell and needed a handler? The reason I didn't put Umaga on this list is because Kamala came first.
15. Mr McMahon - What's Up My nikka
LaMelo Ball can't say nikka, but it's all good for an old white guy. Anyway, what's up my nikka?
There you have 15 things WWE should have apologized for before they even thought of apoligizing for LaMelo Ball. Maybe next time we can do racist fans. Like when Naomi got called ****** in London. It was gonna be 10 but things just kept popping in my head.

They've got Balor feuding with the bum-ass Drifter?

Good show, the top 3 matches on the PPV are intriguing.
Surprised they only have a week to hype Sasha vs Alexa on a B PPV, that seems like the biggest womens match they can do. Maybe this will be a DQ and the real things at Summerslam.

Don't you mean why have they got Samson feuding with bum-ass Balor?
I think they built Nia up nicely and made her strong during that match. Her losing via submit is the only way it was believable.
