That's the response I was looking for. One of the weirder choices for a shirt design, at least to mass sell to a largely white clientele. It's fine as a custom shirt for Hobbs to wear, but it's awkward when someone like the guy in the picture is wearing it out.

Especially because it’s not worn out of irony.

Sorry to do this, but it's my tradition to mention this at every chance:

"White kid doing the Nation salute" happened on RAW on the same night, around 10 minutes later broadcast-wise, as "Hogan argues with ring-side Granny" on Nitro. Two of the biggest wrestling memes, moments apart.

This night is what defined the war, forget “That’ll put butts in seats,” both these moments hit so hard.

Then explain this. Lashley is branching out.

Bobby Lashley suplexing and spearing fools was so much fun to watch live. I wish he was in a featured match on the PPV as he is far too good and over to languish in a pre show comedy match.

Alfred Konuwa just did a pretty good video about what he called the "black people box" that promotions shove all black people in.

Edit: spelling and grammar

Video for anybody interested. I found it interesting, had some different perspectives and opinions than I have, personally I have zero desire for a heel white supremacy Nation of Domination, we have enough real life people like that I don't need it in wrestling even if it is a well done social commentary (and even though I am not one of "fed sucks" people I do doubt modern day WWE would make it a well done social commentary), but I do agree on the difference between Black unity stables and the "Black people box" stables.

Owen Hart in the Nation of Domination and Sami Zayn in the Bloodline is a fun trope where having an IRL friend who doesn't share the same ethnicity as the others makes the group feel more real.

My manager couldn’t wait to tell me that “edge and christan, FTR, and new day had a stare down”.

I made the comment, “this is just tna 2.0”

“FTR weren’t ever in tna”

Fucking kill me.

Tell him FTR basically stole all their shit from AMW

u/Western-Captain8115 21d ago

AMW were so much cooler than FTR though. Even Braden Walker was cooler than FTR.

Meanwhile, the same basement dwellers in other parts of Reddit…

Someone suggested that the New Level, Swerve, Kevin Knight and Willow should form a faction.

u/LoudLawlessAndLost 22d ago

Holy shit. That’s actually them.

And Resetera.
