Because I, and several other shareholders, are putting a stop to this racist and offensive angle cold in its tracks.

Now I am not saying you wouldn't be justified in doing it, you're a shareholder and that is basically what you guys have the power to do, but has it really reached that point where it could be classed as offensive towards anyone yet?
It's not like it has had the HHH/Booker T 'You People' moment yet.

This is why we can't have nice things.
He hasn't said anything really offensive at this point... also he's the BAD GUY.

I hope this is a joke. One, because it's entertaining, but also, the character is relatable and exists. One reason I loved the youtube video was because, guess what, people do that.
People like Zeb Coulter and Jack Swagger exist. We live in a time with crazy radio show hosts, survivalists, underground militias, and real political problems, and WWE can't bring in two characters that reflect that?
Personally, I love characters with absurd political leanings. Last night was tame, but I think it's simply the start. JBL being the right wing evil business man, and Daniel Bryan last year being the left wing hippy douche. Those were characters to remember.
It's an over the top reflection of society. WWE always seems to be behind the times, and while I didn't watch LLUSA, I think they did one better then RJ Brewer by going the survivalist direction, though I could be wrong. I feel Dutch and Jack are going to spiral further into madness, where as RJ was definitely more of a defined political figure. And the reason they spiral into madness is due to the conspiratorial mindset that they have. Jack Swagger looked crazy in that youtube video, like, he looked f***ed, but Jack is also in a far better position then he was 6 months ago. 6 months ago, I felt they should get rid of him, because the character was stagnant and they jobbed him so much, so why keep him around to job a former World Champion. Now, Jack is a new man, a racist man, but a new man none the less.

If this is serious, I just wanna ask something: Can you really "stop" a WrestleMania angle like that? I mean, it's clear where it's heading to involving Del Rio, but maybe give it time before wanting the plug pulled?

I predict that with 7 weeks or so of Swagger/Del Rio shenanigans, by the time that Mania rolls around everyone will be so sick of it that Alberto wins in record time.

Most of their shareholders probably have the same views as ol' Zeb. They have nothing to worry about.

I would be surprised if this gimmick goes on much longer beyond Wrestlemania. They'll probably get Dutch outta there shortly after WM, then just make Swagger bitter towards everyone, not just illegals.

So were you one of the shareholders that freaked out when Donald Trump "bought" Raw?

I turn to wrestling to get away from the real world. I have too many real racists in my town and on facebook, now on wrestling too. But i do love Dutch.

Shareholders > 1st Amendment? No way! Technically yes.The 1st amendment only concerns the government stopping you from/punishing you for saying things. |
