:orly: Not feeling it. I rode with Swagger for a good while (before the last few months). I don't need propaganda infiltrating every form of entertainment and enjoyment. They already ruined Law & Order: SVU with this b.s. That used to be the best show still in syndication.

Wish the majority of posts in this thread were like this one

wrestling meh


as far as the tea party angle, I wonder how they though it would pan out when they were throwing the idea around..

from the demographics they probably knew it would be wildly unpopular, inflammatory character


hmm

I know you don't watch wrestling, so you might not be up on the way things work in WWE. First and foremost,

This was the greatest moment of WWF cism ever pulled off. :ohlawd:

Piper's Pit with Jimmy Snuka - YouTube

I can't find the vid now, but another classic cism in wrestling moment was when I think it was Greg Valentine and someone else jumped "Big Bad Leroy Brown" and put a chaffeur's hat on him. :laff:

For some reason wrestling always got a pass for cism that wouldn't fly on most other shows. I remember Jerry Lawler telling Tito Santana to "have a burrito" and always mocking "lateeeno heeeat" Eddie Guerrero up until mid or late 90 something. I stopped watching that shyt around 2001.

I remember the former governor of Minnesota saying that the Junkyard Dog was out there shucking and Jiving. :gladbron:

Wrestling fans are wild. It's like everyone just accepted wrestling's cism.

Why are they getting mad now? They certainly don't seem ashamed when they're saying those things. They didn't even exaggerate the rhetoric.

yeah, I'm wondering why they even thought it was offensive. I figured they probably would've supported it. Maybe they looked in the mirror and realized how crazy they appear to everyone else :ohhh:

I never saw that before. They went way too far with that one...it wasn't even funny. I can't believe they let them get away with that. What year was that? Couldn't have been that ancient if Hulk Hogan was on.

Yeah, that Dr. D promo was like '84...

Peep this one that I stumbled upon. Now Terry Funk is in a program with JYD, so in this particular skit they lynch Lord Haynes as a way to send a message to JYD. Check out the symbolism when they douse Haynes with BBQ sauce, which darkens his skin, so when they lynch him it looks like they're hanging a black man from the tree. WWF was on that KKK ish hardbody.
