+1 UCLA Yankee Cola.

Unless his ancestors were British or Irish (who still got a lot of shit), I doubt his ancestors knew English when they got off the boat.

Seems like it. Best Raw in a long time. Every segment besides Flo Rida advanced a plot, which was really the best thing about the Attitude Era.

Yeah, if the shoot down didn't happen the promo would have still made sense. It seemed like they were vaguely talking about the conflict in Ukraine, but it didn't strike me like an attempt to exploit the that specific incident.

It made no sense and exploited a war for PPV buys.

I think wrestling only slight does the news worse than the news.

Remember when Billy and Chuck got a "wedding" gift from GLADD and WWE immediately turned them back straight?

I really naively wanted WWE to take on complex issues, but even when Hassan was in the right he was portrayed as an ungrateful immigrant who didn't deserve to complain about being discriminated against. No surprise he went full Jihad.

+1 and slow clap.

I wouldn't say he stayed out of the Mideast, he had The Nolwinksi/Steiner debate in the lead up to the 2nd Iraq War and Mohamed Hassan. He did largely stay out of Geo-politics after the London Bombings.

Dutch is so great on the mic I wouldn't mind the face turn but he played the immigrants/foreigners have no right to criticize America card.

My hometown made Deadspin, yay!

Whenever I try to do a British accent I quickly devolve into Crocodile Dundee for some reason.

+1 from a Gooner.

Only three replies tonight?

I know he screwed over a ton of people, but I find his total lack of self awareness really entertaining.

Hello, I need the largest seed bell you have....

I miss when EPSN2 was all indoor LAX/soccer, and go-cart racing.

That's not 98 Degrees, this is 98 Degrees.

That was a great read, and I hope ESPN keeps dumping the CFL on it's obscure channels. Think I might have just adopted Winnipeg, generally shitty team which I'm used to as a Bills fan and Kent State grad, like the colour scheme, Blue is my favorite North American macro beer.
