Dude wrestled like somebody took his smokes. I never caught much racist vibes from him despite his southern confed flag rocking. Plus he wanted to beat the fukk out of JBL so he's a OG in my eye

RF Video Shoot Interview with Tracy Smothers, Disc One

He is asked about the Gangstas coming to Smoky Mountain. He said that their first day, they had legitimate gang members from the hood in the parking lot of the show, which was in the middle of a KKK area. Smothers said he is not into racism and that we all bleed red and are god’s children but that day, a cop came up to him and said that there were twenty “n*****s” in the parking lot and they were not going to let this go on and the cop asked him if they were wrestlers so he said that they were then after that, New Jack cut the infamous O.J. Simpson promo and afterwards, Ricky Morton told Cornette that they could draw money with them.

Reading through post on Twitter I haven’t seen anything that would point to him being racist, but this is wrestling. He’s getting a lot of love. Almost every post is how great a person he was.

First thing I think of with Tracy Smothers is Joey Styles regularly shytting on his dancing in ECW when he was a part of the FBI

That led to a run as part of the FBI (Full Blooded Italians) where the gimmick was that besides Little Guido (James Maritato), none of the members were Italians. The group included former NWA champion Tommy Rich, and, at one point, J.T. Smith. Smothers was billed as from Nashville, Italy.

From Nashville Italy


Good little write up on him.
