    That's what a lot of people are saying right now. And if some other WWE talent decides to take some time away because of this latest incident, I for one certainly wouldn't blame them.

    you know you're probably right, they could feud with a stable of chinese wrestlers called the "wu-han clan" who cough and spit in their opponents faces. THIS IS SUCH GOOD SHIT!!

    Minoru Suzuki lost in the first round of the New Japan Cup. On his birthday no less!

    Is Vince booking the tournament this year?

    They haven't named Tozawa's ninja group yet. Don't give them any ideas.

    Oh I know that the name Black Wall Street is controversial.Its dark for a purpose. To educate people about what BWS was and to see that these men are angry. That being said that is a far too complex story for the WWE.

    I still want MVP to have a stable though. MVP is very thoughtful and eloquent when talking about social issues.

    But a promotion with a 7 foot Black Ninja might need to stay away from that

    I kind of want to see WWE attempt some "woke" storylines and characters for the thrill of seeing their sheer ignorance on full display.

    That was the whole women's revolution thing we've been having for the last two years! Becky Lynch?

    Crazy Environmentalist Daniel Bryan not really "woke" but an overly politically correct character.

    We did get some right wing era storylines which tamed the company down as RTC. Remember the Godfather became the Goodfather , Val Venis stopped being a porn star and more.

    Impact has Joey Ryan doing a gimmick like that as he came out against Scott Steiner as this ultra woke guy 2-3 months ago...

    The women's revolution was organic and not socially aware. Still is not. It conveniently fit into an issue at the time yet it was largely organic.

    B Dazzler's crazy environmentalist was straight outta Saturday Morning Cartoons of the 80s.

    I legitimately want to see WWE attempt something that addresses real injustice along the lines of homosexuality or race. Because we're going to see some ignorant ideas and it would finally make Vince and co have to address the elephant in the room that they are out-of-touch.

    Yeah ... those are silly like Bryan's shtick or the "WE THE PEOPLE".

    I'm talking Nation of Domination if we're going to the 90s well again.

    I really want to see them try to address something that had been a problem in the company.

    Well right now Im at June 1997 RAW Review wise. The Nation had its very few highs and mostly lows period. Right now its where im at where Ahmed just joined in the most silly telegraphed heel turn .

    I would like to see them go full MAGA with the Forgotten Sons. Vince will make them faces and see how well that goes.

    I remember that.

    My mom and sister were shocked and I remember going, "Really!? That was surprising?"

    I also remember being a big Johnson mark (cue Sean Waltman laughter) until Henry started doing better ringwork.

    There's very few guys I liked in my younger days that I like now as an aside.

    It's a good thing most people don't remember the original incarnation of the Nation. Savio Vega and Crush did not fit.
