I wanted to see if anybody else has noticed how Vince treats his Latino athletes. From Vickie Guerrero being put in a leadership role but being talked down to by Vince to the Primo and Epico now being the new Chavo's and having Hornswoggle mess with them. Why does Vince do that to his Latino talent? Can't he put Hornswoggle with a white wrestler? BTW I'm Latino.
Remember Fit Finley ?
From what I read these last few promos with vickie were made up on the spot which is why she seemed to have no idea what was going on because he was trying to lead her into giving the right answers. And as far as Primo and Epico getting stuck with hornswaggle, I don't think its cause their latin I thing its just that their kind of popular but don't seem to be going anywhere. Same as Chavo, same as Jamie Nobel same as Slater. Its just a comedy sketch and something to keep them on tvQuote:

3. WWE is still Family entertainment, and kids love Hornswoggle, Vince makes cash every time that little guy is on screen, and I have heard the reaction at live events when he shows up, so featuring him is just milking the kid's market in time for Christmas presents. This is actually a pretty good sign for Primo and Epico, seeing as how the last team Hornswoggle was featured with for the season was DX (You remember, the white guys with all the green? How can you forget the program they did with him?)
I love the fact that this was the first comment! for the win! :)Quote:

I was just thinking that yesterday. I had Smackdown on after weeks of not watching and I laughed when Hornswoggle did the tadpole splash, and immediately thought "what is it with Hornswoggle beating latino jobbers?".
sin cara and mysterio and alberto del rio are doing pretty well so.......
My thoughts exactlyQuote:
