WWE Happenings *All The Small Things*

*sigh*

I guess if I was employed by the WWE I wouldnt take it upon myself to say or do anything without running it by them first in this uber sensitive society.

First AW, now Tensai.

I'm wondering if TNA will make Sting change his insane icon persona "Joker" and make up and go back to the crow since the Colorado theater shootings also.

The reason why society is "uber sensitive" is about the Tensai comment is because racism is still a big deal, just because it's better now than 50 years ago doesn't make it gone, or mean that we should allow casual racism a foothold in our society.

These things are all to do with context, I'm sure Tensai and Sakamoto planned that Tout amongst themselves, obviously Sakamoto was okay with it.
That joke would have been fine (if still not that funny...) in private amongst two friends who knew it wasn't serious, but not in a public broadcast, representing the WWE, which is what happened.
Lawler made a similar joke during his match about "Sum Ting Wong" which was just as bad..

PC gets bandied about and misused like it's something bad. It's just like any other made up ideal, like democracy or equality, sometimes it gets misused or misunderstood, but they make all of our lives better.
PC just means I'm not going to discriminate against people who are different to me, because of how they are different to me.

Now I'm Irish, if my friends want to call me a dumb mick, in that context I'm prob ok with it.

If a stranger says it, or a company calls Irish people, potato eating micks... we've a problem. And that's what PC should be.

Joker Sting will stay, as he should, it'd be like removing all Joker from Batman history in case someone looked up to him again, that's an entirely different thing from PC though.
That IS being over sensitive and going after the wrong target, like how easy it seems mentally ill people in the US can still get their hands on guns... but that's a whole different thing.

I hate over sensitive, but the Tensai and AW stuff is sensible, not sensitive.

What Tensai said, is part of the storyline for his fued vs Yoshi Tatsu for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 29

Joke of the day

[CricketTragic]

As bad as that sounds I agree. I cringe ever time WWE plays those stupid fan touts. They look like a bunch of no life idiots who are sipping the WWE teet.

I dont know I quite like the WWE tout its great we should have it here in EWN

Bolded for sarcasm because no one would ever say it with any sincerity

Believe it or not I do have enough common sense to know the difference of an actor playing a role or blatant racism. It's a joke. I remember a while back someone giving Sheamus a potato on air. I've seen the same type of jokes on reruns of the George Lopez show which is pg.

I guess some people just can't tell the difference between acting and real life. SMH.

Whats SMH?

In regards to your comment I have to agree and the reason why people are so uber sensitive as much as I hate saying the word uber is because they are being bubblewrapped by society so whenever they hear anything can could be deemed as rascist or what have you they freak the hell out.

IMO this is worse than aw. he actually had to post this after saying it as if he thought it was funny.. it's an awful joke and while again I don't think he should really be punished, he should stop being that ignorant

I agree it was worse then AW's comment because AW said nothing wrong.

Although this is the first time I can relate to Tensai as a character
