The kabuki warriors have been reduced to chasing Carmella. Smfh

Knew it.....just triggered because he needs a soapbox to get into his car.

I don't know why he's so salty. If you're a tough guy you shouldn't so offended that someone calls you short lol.

Like I said I'm fine with it but I can still see why people would be upset. Puts WWE in a difficult spot. They do good work outside but then make fun of their stars on television.

A company that deals in scripted entertainment shouldn't be bogged down in bullshit because of outside philanthropic ventures.

Its just goal post moving standard.

Because he wasn't tough..

 

[Sabretooth]

Lmao a special appearance by Brock lesnar. His appearances aren't that special.

He can beat yo ass

The way I see it, there shouldn't be a single person alive today who thinks anything done on WWE TV is a reflection of the people playing their characters, or a reflection on what the company stands for.

It's one thing to air something truly unethical or inappropriate for audiences, because they have sponsors to answer for who are concerned about their own image. But "bullying" is ingrained in wrestling, and I think everyone knows that.

I think this is mostly just an attempt by Taz to get himself a little clout. I don't see anyone that WWE cares about having an actual issue with Gable's height being mocked.

Like I said, he is mad because WWE never saw him as more than the short guy when in ECW he was their Goldberg or whatever.

 

[Hoss]

Like said, I wouldn't personally say sucks, but I agree with the sentiment he's better as a heel.

That Earth Savior stuff was his best stuff in years.

In fairness it's pretty much been his only stuff in years.

But even if it's scripted it might make people who are that thing feel bad. If you're a short guy just by seeing a short guy getting made fun of on televison might make you feel like shit.

Agreed. I like to make BA Star jokes when guys like Ryback had their bully gimmicks, but otherwise I honestly don't expect a company to be a paradise when it works in telling stories and needs bad guys to be bad guys. Doesn't mean they can't do good work outside of it.

True, but compare it to what he was doing just before the turn.

You gotta draw the line somewhere. In a world of more than 7 billion people, you can't do anything that isn't going to offend SOMEONE.

Plus it's not like Gable isn't going to (presumably) get the last laugh.

Hopefully Sami doesn't have a mic on him during the match....it doesn't get over.
