Yes. Pro wrestling. It’s called pro wrestling. You don’t live under a rock and you know this. Be careful playing dumb like that, it’ll stick.

Also, if I can get pedantic for a moment, can we stop saying “Sasha and Bianca main-evented Wrestlemania?”

It wasn’t a scheduled match, and its placement on the card was nowhere near the main event. (When you have something like 10 titles just on the main roster and most of them are defended at major PPVs, you can fuck around with one of them.) Belair was supposed to defend against Banks in a rematch from Wrestlemania.…

I don’t agree with a single word of that, but whatevs.

I don’t know. I don’t follow NASCAR and I don’t know what that has to do with pro wrestling.

The difference is that Bryan was ready-made to be a grassroots sensation. The fans wanted to lose their shit for him going all the way back to the old NXT game show. He came in with the “best in the world” rep and had done nothing to lose that in his first couple years in WWE. The 18 seconds job to Sheamus at WM27 was…

In fairness, WWE absolutely distanced themselves from Hogan, at least for a few years. They removed him from the Hall of Fame and didn’t use him for three years after those tapes came out.

Yeah, not the best example. You know how they say the best wrestling characters are the performer’s real-life persona with the volume turned up? That didn’t even require the volume being turned up. That’s really who Charles Wright is.

Fortunately, this is wrestling and we can deal with those. Someone bring me the DX and Rusev tanks, please.

The last time I watched Raw and/or SD with even semi-regularity was three years ago, with the dual rise of Becky and Kofi. Loved Wrestlemania 35, and still had the foresight to peace out and stop watching again pretty much immediately after that show.

Miss me with that tired old bullshit. Wrestling fans are as much a cross-section of the US population as anything else.

I’m assuming they’re trying to recreate the 2018 rise of Becky, with Bianca in Becky’s grassroots babyface role and Becky in Charlotte’s overpushed heel role. (Because to be fair, it seems like pretty much everyone is overlooking that Becky won the match by heeling off and cheap-shotting Bianca when they went in for…

This is all CM Punk’s fault in two different ways.

Wrestling doesn’t really have a good history of using racism as a plot point. (See: Triple H v. Booker T, Wrestlemania XIX) The problem isn’t that taking the title off Bianca in that manner was overtly racist (though when you’ve historically struggled with representation and have managed to organically create a…

Yes, the WWE and pro wrestling in history has a long history of racism, both overt and casual. Not nearly as bad as it used to be, but still prevalent. It’s a microcosm of America in that way.

I can’t image being so fucking stupid and selfish that you think something that’s not only in your best interest, but more importantly is in the interest of public safety, is “too personal” to confirm.

I gotta admit, 18-year old me probably would’ve done this.

That’s one of the *only* groups of people that I’d understand doing this. Gotta pass the time somehow. 

Ooof, I’d stick my dick in a blender before I again lived somewhere that I had to park on the street. Fuuuck that.

Counterpoint: I’ll wear whatever fuckin’ colors I want any month of the year
