OK confession: I liked Slam Master J. In my fantasy booking that starts in 2010 I pair him up with Curt Hawkins, call Curt "C Hawk Sizzle", and they stay together as the White BoyZ for quiet awhile before splitting. They both change gimmicks after the split to more normal ones lol but it was fun while it lasted.

I think the issue is that everyone acted like he wws a weirdo loser for actinf looe that, but I enjoyed Jesse/ J

(Had to dig up this creation from ya Chiral ) I have no idea what they were thinking here. From Day 1, they wanted to kill this guy's momentum. That singlet said it all. Then they somehow made it worse by making him wear baggy shorts with it.

Right, it's one of those situations they didn't have to put themselves into, but insisted. Silverback gorillas are dominant, impressive creatures, so it'd make for a good wrestling nickname... in a vacuum. Associating a black wrestler with an ape is really stupid. It's especially a little weird in that Vince immediately shot down Bill Watts wanting to name Ahmed Johnson "Buck Johnson", since "buck" is a really racially charged word to use for a muscular black man. For Vince to catch that but not do the same for Silverback is puzzling, given how much more obvious of a mistake that was.

I'm scared someone is gonna remind Vince of Burrhead Jones and in a blast of "genius", he gives that nickname to a black wrestler.

Given he's quite likely aware of him, or at least, would have been at some point, that's probably not an unrealistic concern.

I... What the blue bloody f*** is this? Jillian had a gimmick where she had that there growth on her face that they called a mole that everyone was repulsed by because WWE does comedy good. Boogeyman ate it off her face and that was the end of that. I know I asked and I'm sad that I did.
