Vince McMahon, WWE Sued by Ex-Writer Over ‘Racist’ Scene Scripts

[African_brehda]

This sounds wild as hell, that it is almost laughable. Ain't no way. There is like so many reasons why this shyt racist as hell, and the idea that it was even bought up this guy should be fired.

Isn’t that what Brock does?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I ain’t forgot folks putting the Kufi hat on Vince

Exactly. shyt was wild

"WWE has changed now. Look at New Day. Look at Lashley."

The idea of Apollo returning to his roots and bringing that out in a way for everyone to see it is delicate and needed to be handled by Black writers. It was very half ass to me

All I know is them promos were flames


Best work of Apollo’s career. Bring that shyt back

 

[El Poyo Loco]

This cac Callahan was on some Russo shyt

Gonna have Swerve like

 

[dh86]

Of course we could. But I'm just saying Swerve isn't exactly a can't-miss guy considering he's not exactly thriving now that he has full control of his character/presentation

Mogul Affiliates had a chance. I was confused someone thought Parker Boudreaux was a physical threat to Keith Lee, though.

Parker was a miss but at least he's mildly known. Getting the former baseball player who looks like Stitches was one of the more baffling castings in recent pro wrestling. Would've been better if they hired someone like Authors of Pain to be his muscle. But i think the group thing in AEW is oversaturated right now in general. Swerve isn't a good enough talker to elevate on his own I'm afraid.

I bet someone pitched the Vaude Villians having a minstrel show gimmick.

 

[QBN]

I mean….

"Bestiality sex" when talking about a Black woman. fukk you WWE . And yes, I still watch their product...for free on pirate streaming sites. I love our Black pro wrestling stars but I can't give money to this racist ass company.

Vince fukked around and hired/fired a militant

 

[Busby]

The only issue with this that's not gonna hold up is that if she wanted to sue on the grounds of wrongful termination due to her objections, she'd be well within the right to do so. BUT suing over stereotypical storyline writing and fiction- I don't know how much of a case that is. Because just like anything in fictitious TV and movies, creators can make a character or story about anything they want- it doesn't mean it has anything to do with real life. She could definitely go to court and say "I'm suing because I feel I was terminated for disagreeing with some of the ideas being presented" and possibly win with a good case... but the part about the actual scripts is probably gettin' thrown out. Because if that was grounds for a lawsuit, then anyone could sue a TV writer or screenwriter for anything they take offense to- racist characters, sexist characters, homophobic characters, pedos, etc...

Pretty much. If anything it’s just bad press and optics for Vinny Mac..

And yet another reason why Vince needed to stay the fukk away..

Yeah block head swerve is mid to me.

If anything they gonna fire Ryan Callahan and be clear of him. Since his name was the one that was pitching those stories,
