New Day, the most over midcard group (and really the entire show) for the past year, lost at WM because....racism? Despite all the time they get on TV to do whatever the fukk they want (including wearing dildos on their heads) and all the merch made for them. It couldn't be just weird booking (which the show was full of, including white ass you don't want none AJ Styles losing clean to white deadbeat father Chris Jericho only to become the number one contender the next night), one loss was due entirely to racism. Even though they clearly lost just to have an excuse for the legends to come out and run off the heels.
But sure. Stick with the racism story. Because guys wearing pink/purple/skyblue gear with Flash shoes, unicorn horns, talking about video games are just "too black".
Attitude Era was fukking awful, dude. Never were the writers more retarded than during the AE.
