Gail Kim calling WWE a bunch of racists

I can’t tell if she’s got some hidden dirt or just being bitter.

I just want to see the fall out from all of this.

Apparently, JR once had to explain to Vince that there are people who find Asian women attractive.

[Mister Pigwell]

I mean, we've heard a whole lot of murmurings about racism going on there.

Just because she usually comes off as pretty bitter about WWE doesn't negate that she might be on target about this.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Bruce Prichard said that Brian Gewirtz took an Asian woman to Stephanie and Triple H’s wedding and everyone taught it was Gail Kim. I suspect this sort of incidents happened to her.

Also for anyone that says that the wwe aren’t racists, I have two words for you, Michael Hayes.

The WWE is definitely run by racists and it would be naive to think otherwise given their history. No doubt in my mind Gail probably went through racist stuff, especially since she was in the company before they had to pretend to be progressive.

Some of it is just like Old Baby Boomer racist Uncle Racism combined with the fact Vince whether self isolated or not is largely closed off to a lot very basic human interactions. He is a real life Mr. Burns from The Simpson( If Mr. Burns had homoerotic fetishes of Bodybuilders)

[Perd]

Vince: How dare you, Asuka!

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

I mean...duh? The crazy, annoying thing about it though is that the company seems oddly teflon. Like, Gail will big this up, and I'm sure most, if not all of what she says is gonna be valid. But it won't even put a dent in WWE.

Yeah, she's pretty obviously been bitter with the WWE probably for not kissing her ass the way that TNA did...

but doesn't mean she's wrong or racist stuff didnt happen either.

Agreed

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Yeah, Vince is pretty racist. That's fairly apparent. Look at Jinder's WWE title reign.

Jinder didn't get the title because he was charismatic, or a proven draw, or even a good wrestler. Jinder didn't win the title because of the country that he's from, because WWE wasn't trying to appeal to Canada. Jinder won the title because of the color of his skin, Vince saw this as an opportunity to try and exploit that and build business in Inida. And people saw right through it.

I feel like Gail bullshits a lot but this isn't one of those instances as I believe her without doubt on this one

Well...



(Maybe Smithers talked him into it)

I am glad she clarified what she meant too. To blanket everyone in the company as racist is really unfair to the people in the company who are absolutely don't deserve that label.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

The face of tolerance and respect.

I think if there's any place to start for incidents to try and validate claims like this, you gotta start with the backstage stuff like Kim has done. Because I find that some seem to want to start with the stuff that happens on-screen (Japanese talents Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka not winning their major belts at WrestleMania, for example), but I think there are so many variables in play going into a lot of those booking decisions (how much you're pushing the other talent, the role that's needed for the storyline, etc.) that I find it hard to narrow down motives for those decisions to just "WWE is racist" alone. I'm not saying that they're definitely not by ANY means, because there's way too much smoke for there to be no fire, just that those decisions alone aren't 100% confirmed proof that they are racist. I hope that made sense.

Vince is a huge Bull Nakano fan he’s got all her tapes he’s appalled that Gail King would make these comments.

Whether or not he ever actually said it, the alleged quote from Vince over Snuka's murder, "Look, I'm in the garbage business. If you think I'm going to be hurt by the revelation that one of my wrestlers is really a violent individual, you're mistaken." still pretty much rings true for pro wrestling. It's lowbrow trash, for the most part no one expects it to ever be anything but lowbrow trash, and its lowbrow trashiness is probably so deeply ingrained in the entire product that it's hard to imagine them without it. WWE being run by racists is altogether way less shocking than if the McMahons were sincerely interested in pushing a progressive, inclusive agenda.

Was it her or TNAs decision to call her finisher 'Happy ending'? Google it if you don't get the reference, I ain't explaining that.
