Plenty of words that are only offensive in British English could work: Fanny Bugger Sod Arse Spastic Also, "twat" is pronounced differently enough that he might get away with it Knob Tosser/Tosspot (think Regal has used this in occasion) And if course good old Wanker. Never understood why British guys didn't slip a few of these words into their promos Speaking from experience, a lot of British insults tend to fly over the heads of people from other countries.

The ridiculousness of it was funny. Zeb always picks on Wade.

He should do this whenever anyone that hasn't been in the US their entire life speaks.
Jericho? DIRTY FOREIGNER

It made no sense but that's the point. Zeb is a hypocritical, bigoted asshole. Unless you're Cesaro, if you weren't born in the US, he wants you out of the country.

These are the Days of Heels' Lives (when you book an all-heel MITB match there is bound to be illogical ways at generating heat i.e. making Fandango BY FAR the de-facto underdog face with the best shot at winning).

Clearly Wade didn't come to America correctly like Antonio did Cesaro came for a better life doing something that he loved, Wade came to the highest bidder. Wade is all about money, that is his main motif in life and that is what drives him. If Japan offered $1 more than the E then he would be eating sushi regularly.

It would have made more sense if Barrett was using British vernacular. And after Zeb tells him off, Barrett mentions that "we were speaking English while everyone here was speaking Shoshone and Cherokee". Then Zeb would say "Cherokee Shmerokee".

Used to amuse me to no end for some reason. He also frequently gave people the V's.

He also frequently gave people the V's. I always laughed at that; throwing up the deuce is probably the least offensive thing ever, and yet Desmond would always do it with such anger and passion. Unfortunately it just made him look like such a goof. And yet, apparently where he comes from it's SO offensive that L4D2 had to alter their cover. Varying cultural and social norms and taboos can be so fascinating.

Varying cultural and social norms and taboos can be so fascinating. He did throw it up with great aggression. Still, could be worse, they could've made him to the wanker hand gesture. And that's just be awkward for everyone.

They seriously need to bin Zeb Coulter. No-one gives a shit about the guy as he says the same stuff time and time again while his two heat vacuums stand around making tough guy faces. Get off my TV. Your five minutes of being interesting are long, long gone.

I don't even know what that is?"

It was so weird. I'm sure Zeb is aware that the language he loves so much, English, came from Wade's country...ENGLAND! Jack Swagger following that up with "Speak American" was so stupid. "American" isn't a language, Jack.

Some people are incredibly over-sensitive. That's true. Even though I can understand Wade perfectly... The fact of the matter is that there are probably many people in the US and elsewhere who really have a hard time understanding him. He has a pretty thick accent. There has to be some reason that many documentaries, news specials, and reality shows featuring people from overseas are usually sub-titled here -- even if they're speaking English. I'd compare it to a US Southern accent. I'm from the South, so I can understand what someone with a thick Southern accent is saying (even though I don't have an accent). But many people up North would have a hard time with it. So I don't take issue with it.

Actually, I think Wade Barrett comes across as the most faceish of all of them. He's not exactly done anything or said anything to the fans to make them boo him + the rest have traits about them that are easily disliked among most fans. Cesaro/Swagger = Stand behind a bigoted asshole. Team Rhodes Scholars = Sandow is a smug douchebag and Cody is guilty by association. Ambrose = The guy who has been beating up the beloved faces of the company for the last 8 months or so. Fandango = Just flat out obnoxious.
