I'll never forget Triple H telling Booker T "people like you don't win these championships," and then Triple H fucking beat him at Wrestlemania. It was the most obvious "our first black champion ever overcomes racism with all the odds against him" storyline, and then Triple H won.

Will never forgive WWE for this shit.

 

[Fox318]

Cena had to life Rock's hand up.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Just saw the video. Was kinda uncomfortable with the misogyny. Is Rock supposed to be a heel or a face?

What a sad politically correct world you live in.

 

[jmdajr]

Cena had to life Rock's hand up.

Of course. Remember, Rock tore his thingamabob.

 

[Fox318]

Of course. Remember, Rock tore his thingamabob.

Yup and I'm sure Cena knew.

But you know Cena really needed that push.

Now he can sell more backpacks.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

What a sad politically correct world you live in.

One where people have more interesting insults than pointing out someone looks like a prostitute and then making boring stereotypical jokes about her nationality. I don't watch Family Guy.

"Is that what you think, you're just gonna crush the Rock?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!"

 

[kamorra]

I see. The (staged) misogyny is the problem here not the message that (staged) violence solves problems.

 

[Fox318]

Yeah, for sure. There's always the Divas division, with the name and how they really doll themselves up to fight (who fucking does that). I get bored of them trying to talk the division up like they're about strong women, but I can't remember a time a woman in the WWE has ever spoken up for women in general in any way other than generically copying sports with Pink October.

I'll never forget Triple H telling Booker T "people like you don't win these championships," and then Triple H fucking beat him at Wrestlemania. It was the most obvious "our first black champion ever overcomes racism with all the odds against him" storyline, and then Triple H won.

They have no idea what to do with women and people of color.

They have women as sex idols but target the belt at 7 year old girls.

Best thing that happened to the WWF during the 90s was WCW started hiring away their stars. It forced them to try different things and let new talent rise.

If Booker T had just started out today they would have had Cena bury him or Orton win cleanly over him multiple times.

The problem today is they don't know how to book at all.

Right now if 3 of their main eventers and arguably their biggest stars left(Cena, Orton, and Kane) would the product suffer?

Kane huh?

 

[Fox318]

Kane huh?

He is in the main event almost every night.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Rumor is The Rock Vs Triple H at WM32. I would pay 9.99 to see that

If anyone needs to fucking retire, it's Triple H.

Jesus Christ.

 

[jmdajr]

He is in the main event almost every night.

This is true

 

[Kano on the Phone]

If anyone needs to fucking retire, it's Triple H.

Jesus Christ.

He's wrestled maybe twice a year for the last couple of years and put other people over. I don't know how much more retired you can get.

 

[jmdajr]

Jesus Christ.

NO YOU NEED TO RETIRE!!!!!!

GEEZE LOUISE!

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Sorry. I'm still reeling from a decade of him burying the rest of the roster.

We all hate 2000-2010 Trips, but modern Trips is the best thing going. He's an awesome big picture/talent guy.

Fuck yes.

I think they kept Booker T out of that as a main focus on purpose.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

They should've kept the belt on Jericho after the pop he got at that RAW a long time ago, at least until the PPV:

[Irishmantis]

lol "No one in the World expected this" audience has Signs of the Rocks face

its being awhile since he said "Know your Role and Shut your mouth"

the 9.99 Sign had me in tears haha

 

[Dead Man]

Could we say that about pro wrestling in general? That it is a cultural relic from a different generation, steeped with passive (but inherent) misogyny, racism, and poor taste that feels somewhat out of sync with today's sensibilities?

No. You could say that about WWE, but if you say that about all wrestling it makes you look kind of ignorant. It's like saying stage shows are inherently inherently misogynistic because of showgirl routines. It's stupid.

Weird..they cut out the NY boro part of the promo. No mention of Queens, Manhattan and Shaolin.

 

[Oersted]

I love how your attempt of dismissing actually misses the point. Fights are necessary in a show about fights, mysogony never was.

Did HHH bury Booker T again?

Or is he just ok with burying the WWE talent he is in charge of?

You should it's quite a funny show.

Lol I can't believe I am seeing argmuents like these in a wrasslin' thread, of all places. So you actually believe that by watching WWE, you are superior to people who watch Family Guy? Hahahahaha. Good stuff.

I'm saying the Rock's insults are as bad and dated as Family Guy. I'm with you.

 

[Mighty Chin]

You spelt horrible wrong. It's spelled FUNNY

 

[ZoddGutts]

Why watch something shit like Family Guy when he could watch something decent like American Dad?

You should have seen his previous run where he grabbed Vickie Guerrero out from back stage and called her a fat, old, ugly, whore while the crowd/commentators pointed and laughed completely unprovoked.

only way they could've made that better is if Rock set him up for an "It Doesn't Matter" on the way out.

 

[Nemesis121]

Cheap bastard, that segment was better than Rock vs Lana and the mighty Russian..

 

[Dead Man Typing]

To be fair, he was singing - so that makes it okay, right?

I can imagine it now, both of them fighting at wrestlemania, only to be interrupted by The Rattle Snake, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stunners two both of them. Would be pretty amazing wrestlemania.

No it wouldn't. It would feed into WWE's biggest problem - they have no new superstars and no future and its because they give slots like that to these part timers.

Wrestlemania moments for the new gen, please.

Haven't watched wrestling since maybe 2000; that would be the best thing to ever happen. Isn't Austin's knee pretty much fucked in real life though? Or was that just for show? It's been so long and I can't remember.

 

[krae_man]

No it wouldn't. It would feed into WWE's biggest problem - they have no new superstars and no future and its because they give slots like that to these part timers.

Oh you mean like Ryback losing for the 5th time in a row before hitting shellshock on Mark Henry?
