Wwf (wrestling) in the Uk

Sorry but I disagree, since Paul Leveque (Triple H) has took over the reigns it’s back to its best, the last Wrestlemania is up there with one of the best!

 

I disagree, Levesque’s booking of African Americans has been nothing short of rancid, and the weekly shows don’t have anywhere near enough actual wrestling.

They are always trying to trip up AEW, specifically announcing a 3 (Three) hour pre-show for Summerslam to coincide with AEW’s weekly Collision show.

The segment between Drew, Seth and Pepsi Phil on Monday was a true show of where WWE is at. It’s very unfortunate that brilliant wrestlers such as Kevin Owens, Drew, Gunther, Sami Zayn and Pete Dunne are stuck on such a poorly run show.

 

Different strokes for different folks then I guess.

 

Which part of Africa are these Americans from?

 

What are you getting at here.

 

What a weird thing to say

 

That it's a blanket term that makes little sense.
Elon Musk is a African American for example.
But I assume you were trying to convey a different sentiment.
Please accept my apologies for specifically picking you up on it and I know it's used by many. It just popped back into my head when I read it how stupid it always sounds.

Yes, using African American when referring to all black Americans is a weird thing to say I agree.

 

Fair enough bud, and I get what you’re saying. I can absolutely say with my hand on my heart I mean to offence whatsoever and if I need to educate myself that is just the way it is.

 

African is the accepted and widely used term for Americans of African descent. It's weird deciding to criticise that terminology being used correctly when we're just here talking about Wrasslin'

 

No honestly it wasn't a dig at you at all, so apologies again I shouldn't have phrased it the way I did.
It's a commonly accepted term unfortunately, in fact many balck people will use it to describe themselves.
Others dislike it massively.
I just think sometimes in a quest to be inclusive we lose sense of what we are actually trying to say.
I'm probably just been a pedantic grump today.

 

So it includes white people too? Just those of African descent?
Egyptians?
What if someone is from Jamaica? Is there a difference?
Are they African-Jamaican?
If they become a US national are they Jamaican-American? Or African-Jamaican-American?

Labels divide people. We need Fewer labels, not more!


Yes picking out a random Wrasslin post to say this is very odd, I admit that.
For the record I'm largely just quoting one of my all time favourite comedians.

 

I think probably just let it go.

It's weird. I'm not saying you don't have a point I. What you're saying but plucking out of the air in one of the few light-hearted threads I this forum is utterly depressing

 

Perhaps though I only brought up after it was implied HHH is racist. Which is hardly light hearted in itself.

 

Apologies missed that. Yeah he's many things. Including a rectangular block of meat. But I wouldn't call him racist.

WWE has always struggled to book African American wrestlers well but I don't think they're racist as such. Don't see many ex wwe wrestlers saying that.

Tony khan can't book women's matches but noone thinks he's sexist.

Booking wrestling must be so hard. Managing all those storylines across TV time and planning far enough ahead constantly. Only for your top guy to get injured and derail it. I think everyone has blind spots when trying to manage all that and performer expectations.

 

I think booking is so much harder than it used to be as everyone is a expert now and discussing it at levels the business didn't used to be exposed to.

WWE/F has had black stars before but the US fanbase will always gravitate to the "great white hope" stereotype. Hogan and Cena the biggest examples of this.

 

I would counter this by saying that TK had elevated Jamie Hayter to absolute super stardom before her injury and also the Mariah May and Toni Storm story has been nothing short of superb.

 

Cant disagree. Britt's return was amazing too and I can't wait for the Mercedes match.

But overall it always seems like most of the roster is sitting on the sidelines waiting to do the odd job for a small handful in the limelight. With the talent and quality of that roster he should be able to regularly have outstanding non title feuds.. but he doesn't.

Big TK fan btw. Not dissing.. just pointing his weak spot.

 

The roster is way too big unfortunately, a real shame.

 

AEW will be better with Shane O Mac.

 

I imagine they'd love him to debut at Wembley. The crowd would lose their minds

He'll probably jump off the arch. Mad b*stard that he is
