I think the major thing is that, and perhaps I'm speaking out of turn/for others, is that generally people REALLY don't want politics involved in their wrestling. As I said in my OP it felt a lot more like a political speech with crocodile tears than it did a promo about a dude who just sucker punch you in the poopguts.

I definitely don’t want politics in my wrestling either, but I’ll actually repeat something I’ve heard activists say about gay rights here, that should respecting being both white and black be political?

I don’t want him to say it again so if he keeps repeating it it’ll feel political, but if he only says it this one time, I’ll give it a pass because I think he’s trying. It must be hard to navigate the waters of having a biracial baby.

I just think Ogogo draped the flag over him first so that made it a country thing and Cody simply added the stuff bout his family because he’s a proud papa to be.

I don’t think he added it for the match, but himself.

Yeah that's a fair take. It cuts both ways, and while I'm enjoying poking fun, I'm not going to go out of my way to say the guy is a scumbag or anything. I agree with you he likely had good intentions, and it just came off bad. sometimes the best intentions have shitty results and I do think thats what happened here.

as far as kayfabe goes, it does make him look more self centered and heelish though, and who knows, this could be the longest con ever and all part of the turn lel

Foreign = bad is the worst trope in wrestling tbh. Cody is better than using such lame shit.

It's 2021, no the fuck it's not....in any civilized world

Just look at the backlash he's gettign here for a promo where he talks about it.

Their entire family will be scrutinized for every move and decision they make by all sides.

Same here. As a non-American though when America wrestling companies do AMERICA IS THE BEST FOREIGNERS ARE BAD GUYS SHIT it instantly makes me care less about your feud and less about the babyface I'm supposed to cheer. Cody's promo would have worked if he was a heel.

The foreigner trope is going nowhere. As long as there are borders there will be easy conflict. Both in entertainment and real life.

Not for having a mixed baby....referring too it for sympathy is something to bring up.

That's some being a familiar shit.

Again, you new here.
Mixed families get shit by both races for almost everything they do. But I'm not gonna keep talking about this. :wedone
