Well, that's gross. For people unsure why they'd upload this, I think something that must be remembered about bigots is, they usually don't think they have a problem. They think they are "telling it like it is", that this is how everyone truly feels, and that people who say otherwise are giving into pressure or fear of pushback. To them, this is the "real" world, and people who try to spin themselves as "race realists", "gender realists", etc, think they're the only ones with the spines to say how the world really works. It's thoroughly gross, and it's a reason why even apologies from known racists deserve scrutiny, because it's one thing to recognize you upset people, but it's another to look at how your viewpoint had been poisoned from its very foundation. It's not his beliefs that surprise me, it's not knowing that something like this could absolutely f*** him, especially as he persues a career in the public eye. I imagine most people with problematic beliefs have self-preservation instincts that stop them from dropping *this* kind of nuke on themselves. Even if you believe you're an enlightened one or whatever, how do you not realize -- in this day and age -- that there are a whole bunch of people who disagree (to put it mildly) with you and won't let you off the hook? How?! It's crazy that the whole video-making process carried out without him noticing the raging avalanche of reasons not to do it. A very special kind of stupid. Because since a certain event in 2016 these people believe that they can get away with this stuff.

No promoter should ever book this guy again. Aside from being racially offensive this kind of shit hurts the industry as a whole. People spend so much time elevating wrestling and proving it’s not just an industry of backwoods idiots then garbage like this pops up.
Go f*** yourself Jeffrey Hume.

fastest rising star in wrestling... not anymore guessing they uploaded it themselves, why is there this compulsion in racists to out themselves like this? Does it not enter his mind how much it would will destroy his career All worth it if some dipshits on Twitter throw some praise your way for "not being PC" or whatever. (sarcasm)

So, the girl in the video is just going to go ahead and dig her grave with her tongue. She's responding to people's comments with shit like, "Hell no, I'm not sorry!" and "At least my daddy has the money to make this go away, unlike you *racist comment*!" Yeah, sweetheart...I don't think your daddy has enough money to remove this from the internet. Better use that cash for total facial reconstruction surgery and a name change. Spoiled little bitch is about to have a HARD reality check.

Ever since Corbin won that battle royale, he’s been a horrible influence on the youth in this business.

Went and watched the video on Twitter and it is pretty unbelievable. It's so much worse than you expect it to be. Jesus, thought it was the OSW guy for a second. I'd argue at least a few of OSW's episodes could justifiably be called 'Jay Hunter uploads racist video', particularly when talking about Roman! Hulk Hogan DID get away with that shit. WWE still treats him like a legend, and the crowd still pops for him when he shows up. So being totally blackballed for 4 years is getting away with it? Getting off easy? Sure. But it’s not like there were 0 consequences for it. It 100% is getting away with it. The pay cheque for the first time he showed up on WWE television again would on its own still make him richer than half the population. Nobody is saying there were zero consequences, but the consequences consisted of a millionaire not getting to make more money for a few years. That is absolutely getting away with it.

Found it, and it was certainly disgusting (and the parody was well done once context was established). But is expulsion really necessary for a tasteless, juvenile stunt without any actual threats? Yes

Im glad people are uploading it. Because we know which idiots of society we can blackball and ignore. This wasnt even an attempt at shock humor, theyre just a bunch of entitled jerkoffs

Just saw the video and my god. I can't even process that. Even describing it as disgusting isn't enough. I guess the one positive is that he's torpedoed his own career before it even really started. I wouldn't want someone like this being a part of any company.

Apparently the girlfriend has been posting non-pologies to her social media that basically amount to "please don't ruin my life".
Girl:
1) you did that yourself 2) once you make toast, it's never gonna be bread again.

Also HHH said after it started coming out that he’d be welcomed back into the company so I really don’t understand the “blackballed” stuff when they literally said it was temporary.

There is "18 year olds do stupid stuff" and "Naw this is just going to be them forever"
This is in the second category

Spoiled little bitch is about to have a HARD reality check. I've seen posts from her saying that the person who circulated the link to the video "has ruined her life." Yeah, it's that guy's fault. This is one of my most hated things in this ugly old world. People who refuse to believe or understand that it was what they did that ruined their lives not that someone shone a light on that horrible behaviour.

Only heard it about it so i looked it up and yeah... that's damn bad.
About the girl: I've heard two reported reactions from her, 'daddy will make it go away' and 'sorry but someone else posted it and they ruined my life'. Which is it or has it changed over time once she realized 'daddy' threats ain't gonna help?

The "daddy" post is believed to be a troll jumping in to make it worse for her, from what I've been told, but I cannot confirm that one way or the other.

How to ruin a fledgling career in 51 seconds.
I just hope both of these imbeciles continue to be burned at the stake, because I have this feeling that the young lady will probably try and absolve herself from wrongdoing and throw him under the bus, because she’s doing it already. f*** em both. Let the internets send them both to hell.
