Bad move. When I went to ROH a few months ago Corino used similar shit on the mic. Just not good. There's plenty of ways to get heat without doing that shit. Bully's a better worker than that.

YOU JUST DON'T SAY FAG OR SOMETHING OUTRAGE Here's what floors me. This is a guy playing a role where calling someone a fag so this was perfectly in character. Is it crass? Yup. But how many movies do you see people use worse slurs than that as a way of reinforcing just how shitty they are. Meanwhile, I am watching 2 and a half men the other day because I hate myself. Charlie tells the kid a story about accidentally hooking up with a cross-dresser. The kid responds "You are such a mo." In that instance you have both characters demeaning transsexuals and the child using slang for homosexual as an insult. These are both "good guys" in the roles but that's allowed and there is certainly no apology for it. They show it unedited in syndication. I am floored that there is so much passion about a word, and so little concern about the actual attitude towards the demeaned social group. You'd be hard pressed to find a successful sit com that hasn't had stars take a shot at homosexuals, including those that have homosexual stars (looking at you Big Bang Theory). But have a villain in a wrestling show do what villains do and there has to be a formal apology. |
