I'll vote for the Rock, if his campaign promises are good. :krillin2

But nah really, I guess I can agree that he might have had good intetions, just the delivery was a little off. But if I get Cody in the Polka Dots, it's fine and I'll forgive it.

What year did he claim to be running in the TV show? Because we can't wait that long.

Yeah this is pretty much what I think lol he booked backwards after he had the idea of the American Dream thing and the execution wasn't good for the result that he had already planned in his head lol

id assume its likely still a sensitive issue in his home stae as well. racism doesnt just disappear over night .

Listen, I'm white as hell. But I've known people of mixed race and have been friends with some. It's not uncommon for mixed race young folks to have an extremely difficult time fitting in, as sometimes they are never fully accepted by either of their roots. It can be tough, even in 2021. I think those concerns are likely real from the Rhodes, just didnt think it was super appropriate or relevant for the promo.

the message he WAS trying to say was a positive one and for unity etc, so its unfortunate that it has missed its mark. Liek I was saying to you earlier, I think you and Chris are correct in your assessment that he MEANT all the right things here. just poor wording/delivery/rambling imo

I think he should of done some research into Ogogo - before bringing race into the promo though considering Ogogo is bi-racial...

Doing a foreigner=bad trope is still fine as a general wrestling concept but given how half of Americans seem to hate their own country these days, this one was never the right call.

Also this is the perfect opportunity to TURN CODY HEEL.

The day being pro-America in an American company is portrayed as the heel is the day I reserve my plot in the cemetery. The Earth can have me.

I’d love for Cody or anyone to be the heel with a pro-America gimmick in New Japan, though. Or Impact, or both, since I think it’s a Canadian company now, and AEW does business with both. Forbidden door etc.

Cody could even bust out some Mr. America inspired gear from Hogan’s hilarious 2003 masked persona.

I'm just saying now when people are pissed off at Cody - ie the HYPE TRAIN is not in full swing - you can justify turning him anyway.
