| Topic | Triple H's racist af promo on Booker T: |

If the promo happened today 75% of CE would be saying HHH just meant people from WCW and isn't referring to race at all. tbf, this has already been their defence. IIRC its WWE's official defense as well. And I mean, right out of the invasion, it would make sense that was at least, the original plan. However, once the racial undertones and stuff like this promo took the forefront, WWE should have changed direction. Generally, WWE has been fairly good in the "if the heel crosses the line, they do have to lose" category at least. Though that also makes this one stand out much more. Sonic_Cannon posted... I agree that if Booker had gone on to win the feud it would have hit differently. I'm not totally opposed to this kind of thing being done by a character/heel/villain, but the organisation shouldn't essentially endorse it by having him go on to win. Its not rare in Pro Wrestling to have the bad guy be racist/sexist/whatever, but general basic storytelling sort of means if your bad guy does something that bad, they do have to lose the feud, and the good guy gets the well-deserved win. There are a couple times this hasn't been the case, and its always awful when they make that move. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
