Anyone else notice how the "politically correct" company of McMahon's that claims not to do "offensive" material such as racist storylines or such still does offending storylines like making fun of the mentally handicapped(Eugene) and the midget wrestlers---they are still portrayed as nothing but jokes. There are several midget wrestlers they have had employed in WWE and still not one of them has had a figure. proof that Vince sees them as nothing but a joke. same as racism Vince.

But if they made them to scale, the "midget" figures would be a severe choking hazard to small children. ;D

Nope those midgets exploit their kind. They allow themselves to be portrayed like that. No sympathy.

Anyone not over 6 feet will invariably have a crap WWE career, regardless of their talent.

well so do women and blacks and sympathy is still given to them. Hell it's entirely the fault of the black youth that the "racist" word "(the n-word" is still around. they claim it's racist and then you see every single black production--be it tv, movie, or radio using it and calling each other n-word this or n-word that. Let the stupid word die!

I don't mean to offend any blacks here but I feel if it's racist then it wouldn't be in every single black production there seems to be. Music or Movies or tv or whatever. Shouldn't be kept around at all if it's a racist word.

Midgets have no place in wrestling, ever.

WWE may not be specifically racist, but it is very xenophobic.

Isn't the appropriate word to call little people "Dwarves" instead of "Midgets"?

I love the use of "midgets" and "blacks" in a thread about respect.
If you want to get banned, try harder.

You do realize that McMahon did not invent midget wrestling dont you? There were midget matches as far back as the 50s IIRC. Its a tradition in wrestling, though it should be treated as the sideshow that it is unless they want to have a serious aaa-style division.

Being a big Lucha fan,I've watched enough midget matches to make
most of you puke. They're pretty talented little guys who can honest
to God work their butts off,but sadly they will always be treated as
a sideshow.Hey I wouldn't want them as the main event or as a major title holder, I'm just saying they don't get as much credit as they should.

of course they deserve respect but we know Vince doesnt mind pushing the envelope just to entertain the fans....in which things that he does he just pushes too far like the limo thing, IMO
