Raw Live Raw discussion thread, October 21st 2024: World Tag Team No. 1 Contender’s Tournament continues

[Comrade Khan]

I saw people responding to SRS asking why he's sabotaging the company by running stories about it it's not something I'm shocked Carlito would say fwiw, I would be more shocked if it was scripted and Damage Control agreed to it

yeah who knows if it was scripted or not, obviously wwe would never admit to it but you also can't assume they signed off on that either.

It's a shame Hunter doesn't see color, he could have stopped this before it happened!

What’s wild to me is that if R Truth said it I doubt anyone would bat an eye

 

[Chris]

R-Truth would have spoken Japanese fluently as the bit while Pearce looked on wide-eyed in the background making a silly face

but he would not as its not 2005. he would probably speak french or some dumb shit.

Can we just not all agree it was a dumb fucking thing to say without whataboutism and false equivalencies for just once?

 

[Chris]

If it wasn't scripted this is probably one of those things that they'll send Carlito to sensitivity training for. Maybe a fine too. Reminds me of Max Castor's shit in a way, stupid on screen dated jokes that people thought were funny 20 years ago. Different companies I know but that was my first comparison

 

[Chris]

I think the exact same people would take issue if Truth said it too fwiw, but I do think people would defend Truth harder than Carlito on that hypothetical too if that makes sense

Sorry man

Gotta just keep my thoughts to myself

yeah it the grand scheme of things it's a slap on the wrist worthy a short stint in training and or a fine. I don't think it was nearly as egregious as the stuff Jinder was made to say. Just really unnecessary dated humor that doesn't really need to be on the show, certainly with the current criticism WWE has just faced.

Carlito being an older guy from the "old" wwe shows to me points to likely a lack of understanding this ain't the same show and this ain't ruthless aggression etc era no mo

I would certainly hope there was no intentional malice by Carlito or a reluctance to grow. That would be very disappointing to hear

 

[Cwalker]

What did he say?

 

[JakeYourBooty]

What did he say?

“I gotta learn Chinese” after Damage Control left

 

[Cwalker]

 

[Chris]

Crazy cause he could have just said Japanese and it would have been just as funny bc his gimmick is being thirsty lmao

 

[Chris]

I wonder what would happen if he got called Dominican instead of Puerto Rican

 

[Comrade Khan]

there's 100 ways he could have acted dumb without saying this yeah, it's a shame
