That doesn’t explain the singing “Rockin Robin” part before the crowds left

Honestly don't care about Tamina and especially MVP after those weird IG comments a while back trying to make it racial.

The MVP stuff has been weird for awhile. I don't think his complaints are necessarily bad but he's claiming racism when there's more generic reasons for them, he seems like he's more mad that he's not on TV than anything else

Triple H is only racist against Chinese athletes.

Yeah I have zero problems in him expressing his thoughts on Hurt Business not being used enough, properly, brought back or whatever but to bring race into it? That's when you lose me.

Yeah I'd say it's bad booking over racism bc I do agree with him, it would have been a good thing but I don't agree HHH held them down or whatever, I think he just was off on what would have worked. I don't think he's purposely being racist or anything but he has some tendencies that can be corrected, but the way MVP went about it wasn't gonna help

Hurt Business were hot for maybe 4 months during their run.

Some Raw Undergrounds, Lashleys title reign and a Brock and Goldberg feud, but people gotta stop acting like they were doing Bloodline stuff.

Only thing they fumbled imo was a proper Lashley/Roman feud.

Also there's the whole thing on how hurt Lashley really is. If he's just hurt me and that's why he's off screen that's a completely different aspect than other reasons why he's not used

I will say though that The Pride faction was just a better yet worse version of The Hurt Business. They upgraded in the tag aspect by having the Street Profits but majorly downgraded by having Lashley pretty much as the mouthpiece. Would have been awesome if they had an actual mouthpiece though I can't think of anyone black who would have filled that void outside of MVP.

felt like this go round they were trying to recreate the nation at times. I like Street Profits too. I actually wouldnt mind seeing them jump and attack DIY i think DIY/Street Profits be some great matches
