If yes, you agree that it's one of the greatest promos in recorded human history, right? That kid knew how to work a stick, brother.

It aged pretty bad. Like it was filmed in black and white

Not enough potshots at Kevin Dunn and calling out Steph and HHH's favoritism. What a corporate butt kisser.
Seriously, it's something essential that every American should probably read or listen to, alongside his Letter from Birmingham Jail.

It's also a perfect WWE promo because it features lots of cuts to the audience looking on intently.

King's whole body of work needs better study in our school systems. I teach US History, and it kills me how often he's depicted as a big old teddy bear and not an incredibly sharp, politically savvy agent of change who held revolutionary views that made many people of his era (and, if they knew it now, many people today!) very uncomfortable, all in a highly focused pursuit of justice.
I mean, check how many people boil it down to "MLK was nice, Malcolm X was angry", completely ignoring the complicated relationship the two had and where their ideas differed and overlapped. De facto (though in many ways still de jure) segregation is a huge reason for the unfortunate divides we still have between people of different ethnicities to this day, but it doesn't help when we don't have the guts to educate people and explain the core of what people like King were arguing about and marching for, and how much deeper it went than the feel good parts.

Pretty much the basis of #reclaimMLK.
