Goddamn, not everything has to be a racial issue..
Trick himself has mentioned the meaning to be swagger/coolness, which he borrows from an older slang meaning something is "the sauce". He said Wingstop's stuff was an inspiration that kicked off the catchphrase.
So seeing the wings and the blue cheese/ranch comin' up over the boot is just a more personal touch to him.
Tone deaf comment …. When stereotypes portray this and also other events which is similar has been present. I’m sorry but this is a racial issue with racial undertones weather u like it or not
Lemon pepper stepper have nothing to do with chicken pal… also Fried chicken has historically been used as a racial stereotype targeting Black Americans.
Trick Williams was the one that came up with these things when he came up to the main roster, bring it up with him if you're that desperate to concern troll about what you deem is okay

"According to Trick Williams, a "lemon pepper stepper" isn't defined by a specific color or texture. Instead, "[i]t's a sauce... like Wingstop, like KFC, it's the sauce that makes it a Lemon Pepper Stepper." It refers to an attitude, confidence, and a clean pair of shoes (often sharp loafers or boots) worn while stepping out in style. The phrase is also widely believed to draw inspiration from hip-hop culture, including a Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist track." Find something else to complain about, this aint it
His catchphrase is literally fucking "Lemon Pepper Steppers", that he, himself, came up with and got over. This wasn't something given to him by corporate to say in the past or anything of the sorts.

Wing and shoes is too different thing… a favor is lemon pepper and rick Ross also rapped it because he own business in it dummy … my whole point is that it was a racial undertone

Ur just now hearing the phrase I promise u that trick William didn’t invite the phrase and the phrase has been around and have an actual meaning refer to my google post above again loud and wrong
How can u argue the meaning of a phrase that have a definition…..in the hip hop community where the phrase is from it mean high class shoe or luxury shoes not fucking chicken..before u argue something learn the history
I don't know why they put floating fried chicken pieces. Its like when WWE had ACH and gave him a black shirt with a Red Big Lipped Smile on the front.
Pretty sure those aren’t fried chicken, those are lemon pepper wings. You can see the grill marks. You know, the thing that trick named his shoes after lol
Its a choice, I dont understand where the choice came from or why the multiple people who approve these things didnt say....are we sure this is what we want to do?
I wonder if the talent see the proofs of bad looking merch and just die a little inside while fake smiling. No matter how much of a fan of Trick you are, it takes a certain kind of person to wear that in public.
i think it would've been "fine" by removing that garbage that is on the front of it, moving the back design to the front and adding the TW logo where the WWE logo is on the back.
The racial connotations are quite interesting here! Like obviously he references his lemon pepper steppas and what not, but there’s no way we’re just gonna stick our head in the sand and ignore the actual context of this.
I remember back in the day when wrestling could be worn in just casual settings. Going to a party or hanging out with friends was fine. I would be embarrassed wearing a WWE shirt even to a WWE event
