Dear God aren't you around the time the Rodney King assault happened

 

[Chris]

It would certainly be something 90% of promoters would book

 

[O-Blaze]

I didn’t even know the timeframe Sky was at lmao. Now definitely do it.

Late 1993 so still fairly recent

It's not as distasteful as long as the heels don't win and you shouldn't even offend too many whites if they're very obviously presented as "the" dirty cops not that they're regular cops

 

[Chris]

I'm thinking too indepth for TEW but that's what happens

If they get offended in 2024 when you call a dirty cop a dirty cop, they definitely would in 1993

 

[Chris]

Nah I find back then people were a bit more reasonable in acknowledging your "bad apples" that's why the term even exists, but now it's to the extreme you have to defend everyone remotely on your side no matter what they do

 

[O-Blaze]

I guess that’s fair and pretty true I suppose haha.

Bill Watts booked black babyfaces overcoming racism in the deep south in the 80s and it worked

 

[Chris]

You just gotta be real clear on who's the face and why and don't give them any grey areas to support the heels

Nowadays this would probably be called going woke.

 

[Loochblade]

"Probably"

 

[Chris]

Nowadays this would probably be called going woke.

I asked in the gcw thread but it’s been 33 minutes and I’m impatient as fuck. Anyone know if gcw is still doing backyard wrestling in July? I can’t find anything showing one this year and I really hope they do as it’s my favorite thing they do.
