He was booked in tasteless fashion there at the end with the London bombings, so it was bad booking more than it was him being too good of a heel.

@@WWRNC Because Vince is racist, he took a gimmick that was working as a lens on America but then decided to make it into a terrorist gimmick by bringing people with ski-masks to attack the Undertaker and carry out Daivari like he's a martyr. Vince is thinking, "oho, the people will eat it up! The terrorist stuff will get so much heat." It's Vince's inability to read the room.

@jasoninflagstaff 2 күн бұрын

@imaratspal had nothing to do with racism. Vince McMahon, like the territories before him,knew there was bread to be buttered by playing with current events. He had Sgt slaughter pay a Saddam sympathizer. The iron shiek became a thing bc of the Iran hostage thing. Soviet dudes during the cold War. Japanese heels for half a century after pearl harbor...etc,etc,& et al. Calling him "racist" is lazy. The Muhammad hussan thing might have been too far for the censors,but it worked to get heat for a reason,& everyone in the comments with "he was telling the truth about America!" are missing the point,as usual. Everyone knew it was the truth,but nobody wanted to hear that sh*t from terrorists and/or sympathizers defending the bottom of the barrel of humanity. Exactly why bin laden's "letter to America" only got popular 20 years after the fact,mostly because of 20 year old kids on tiktok who couldn't fill a thimble with what they know about just how lucky they are to have been born in the US,and buy hook-line-sinker the perpetually online nonsense about this nation being "evil".
