Why do WWE Black history month videos only feature black people talking ?

 

[shanafan]

He smokes weed.

What weed?

 

[Pikma]

Riddle seems like the kind of guy WWE / Vince would be drooling over. BUt honestly if he went to WWE it would just end up him teaming with Mojo Rawley and being HYPE BRO.

He'll never go to WWE, and he doesn't even care, kinda like Ibushi except Ibushi doesn't do drugs, he's just crazy

And Orton, who has a Wellness Policy amendment named after him specifically because he kept getting popped for weed, doesn't?

Marijuana makes you act like the new Joker.

Marijuana makes you hear voices in your head that counsel and comfort you.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I don't think Vince ever got over RVD being arrested for speeding while high on weed while champion.

I heard it turns you bi.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Weed makes you a lot of things bi, and bilingual isn't one of them. Wait, did I just mean to say that?

I don't think you did, but be that as it may we're live.

Why do WWE Black history month videos only feature black people talking ?

Cause Vince thinks that's how it works
I'm 90% sure he's the kind of guy that says "the blacks" too

 

[BronsonLee]

That's cause it was a stupid goddamn thing to do

My cousin injected a marijuana once and he literally melted.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I thought weed was OK in WWE now, but not synthetic shit?

I don't think they would know what to do with Riddle anyway. Dude seems so comfortable in his character now, if they forced him to take on some bullshit they write it would probably come off awkward.

 

[Heroman]

Matt Riddle was fired from the UFC due to weed.

 

[Tall4Life]

I actually have yet to see a Riddle match, what are some of his best?

 

[FlammableD]

I think his EVOLVE ones with Hero are generally considered up there.

The one with Shibata on NJPW World is really good, as are his two PROGRESS matches with Will Ospreay and Rampage Brown.

 

[Beefy]

Isn't Shibata the guy who has injured every part of his body?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

That's cause it was a stupid goddamn thing to do

Yep, but in his head now is weed = NO CHANCE IN HELL

Riddle ever joining the wwf will take a lot of convincing from HHH. Especially since the best argument is that he's a modern day Kerry von Erich, Vince would be all THAT'S THE GODDAMN PROBLEM

 

[FlammableD]

Isn't Shibata the guy who has injured every part of his body?

yes

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

His body basically moves only by grit and guts now

 

[shanafan]

If Luke Harper is really going to be separated from the Wyatt Family, I would love to see a new look for him. More of a clean cut, and real wrestling trunks.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Oh right, weed is considered the worst thing ever in the US

I mean we have legal weed in like 7 states

 

[Zach]

I'm all for traditional wrassle attire, so sure, shanafan.

 

[Angry Grimace]

How is Nia Jax better than Eva Marie or Liv Morgan? I mean, there's no point in arguing too much about this because I think we do agree that they are all really bad at anything related to wrestling, but yeah I think Nia is the worst of them all

Nia is worse than Eva for sure.

 

[Beefy]

If Luke Harper is really going to be separated from the Wyatt Family, I would love to see a new look for him. More of a clean cut, and real wrestling trunks.

Just a clean shirt and his hair being washed would do.

yes

Thought so. Seen a few of his matches and he is always strapped up.

 

[Sephzilla]

I don't think Harper will get a clean look because I think the ultimate payoff for this Wyatt storyline is that Harper was right, and he and Bray will reunite after Orton inevitably betrays Bray.

 

[Zach]

Did DMczaf get into GWF? I saw he was lobbying last night but then I went to sleep.

What a failure.

 

[British Monsoon]

While Shibata is undoubtedly banged up and regularly works with some injury or another, New Japan also kinda play up to it - adds to the whole never-say-die, fighting spirit, ass kicker attitude Shibata embodies.

 

[spindashing]

Toru Yano sure looked different back in the day.

It's all a work until the day someone actually dies in the ring

I really hope that never happens of course

You know Shibata accidently killed someone in the ring, right?

The Shibata one was really good, as was his one with Ospreay. I haven't seen his Rampage Brown match yet.

Oh, also Riddle vs Shibata is up on NJPW World now, if you don't want to sub to Rev Pro

fuck yes baby

 

[Strax]

Well he didn't seem to understand that none of them were speaking from experience and it was the "everyone recites a line of this piece" thing they do. He said "It was interesting that they had...every black wrestler commenting on Jackie Robinson including Alicia Fox and no white wrestlers did and I would just presume that there are white wrestlers who might know a lot more about baseball history" and compared it to when Miz would do segments on dvds and was clearly speaking prepared material. I don't think he was really being racist more like he only approached it from the perspective that if someone is talking about the history of something they should probably get some old white wrestlers who were around back then (or old black wrestlers.)

Nothing he said was racist and not even close to it. If anything he was calling out WWE for being racist by deviating the roster into white and black. He also said this was some real sports teams did 20-30 years ago but they don't anymore, for obvious reasons.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Regardless of everything getting white people to talk about important black figures in history (even in wrestling) during Black History month would be worse.

The segments existing or the subjects of the segments aren't the problem, it is that the segments feel over produced, over rehearsed and thus have this completely dispassionate feeling. That is the issue.

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah the segment they had on Smackdown felt like a rehearsed classroom speach
