A white boy that's telling us we're being too sensitive...
That's rich...
Haven't heard that before...

What can I say this is what it's like on the other side. It's not always about you. Stop making every muthafukking thing about race.

It's a FICTIONAL show. He's PLAYING A CHARACTER.

Yall sensitive...this product needs a shot in the arm. Nothing wrong with a little controversy if executed right. Get people talking. Remember its fake.

And you think a bad troll gimmick is the way to do it? :usure:
'Bad troll gimmick' is your subjective interpretation. A minority conservative gimmick could boost ratings if done right in this hot political climate...in my opinion. I just think the product is boring. Not even bad, just bland.

you guys are the fukkin worst, you really are. this is why we can't have nice things.

it's a fukkin wrestling show, it's fake.

jesus christ back then there was a wrestler called THE IRON SHEIK while we were at war with the middle east. and guess what HE DREW HEAT.
You can't really compare the two.
The Iron Sheik was basically an us (America) against them (an enemy of the US) gimmick that has a very long history in pro wrestling from evil Russians to evil Japanese to evil South Africans. That is easy to do and requires far less creative talent to pull off.
This black Trump supporter gimmick is playing on divisiveness within the country (in the areas of race no less) and as a result needs to be handled with a more deft and nuanced touch than the WWE has ever shown themselves to have when dealing with anything even semi-controversial.

WWE probably doesn't have the know-how to do anything meaningful with this character and yes you're right they are taking a big gamble, but is there really anything to be offended by? We can have wrestlers portray themselves as unicorn horn wearing fakkits but not trump supporters? why not?

it will be very interesting to see how audiences react to him though. even if he's portrayed as the doofy heel I'm sure in some of the redneck states he might get cheered. but hey controversy is better than what we have now so...

the issue for me is that they wont book a black man as strong and intelligent but they're quick to toss him one of these gimmicks...whether its realistic or not. i get that its a tv show but it doesnt reflect anything that i see in my real life. CACtrick was gonna get heat regardless of his gimmick because he comes off as a pompous a$$hole....
