You got the right answer. WHAT'S Up= Wazzup, and he was capable of doing both spots. With everything on the PPV, you'd think people wouldn't have to reach for something to complain about. Except, Truth didn't say "What's up" before doing the spot. He just did it. It's probably a minor thing to complain about, but this is the WWE. A wrestling promotion run by old white men. Let's not pretend that they think logically when it comes to race, especially with their history. No, he just said "What's up" coming down to the ring, along with one of the guys on commentary, if I recall, saying "How's that for What's up" or the like. We mock WWE for not being subtle, but this is what subtlety gets them. |

I didn't watch it, but that sounds kind of messed up.

What blows my mind is that k kwick is on the active roster in 2015.  |

Well, let's see what other black people could they have used? Big E? Xavier Woods? Darren Young? Alicia Fox? Booker T? Michael Hayes? I forgot who said it, and if it was on this board or in a shoot, but I remember someone saying Michael Hayes dresses like a Black man going to church. |

I guess it's also worth noting D-Von is not the only person who has lifted guys for the 3D before, since Test did it at least once, too, for whatever that's worth. |

One would think Spike has too at some point, since Ray and Spike tagged on Raw without D-Von for a time... |

This was actually toned down from the previous idea for R Truth, which was for him to reprise his role as Pretty Ricky and be eliminated when he is distracted by a heel holding up watermelon.

I saw it more as R-Truth is probably the only person Bubba Ray would still know in WWE from his time that can dive off the top rope.

This would be a hilarious new gimmick. Everyone who is black now = D-Von to him. He'll randomly come out and have the New Day guys take turns 3Ding people. He then spontaneously combusts in the ring when faced with Darren Young. Byron Saxton! GET THE TABLES! 'Titus! Get the tables!!" *Titus puts himself through a table* "..." |
