Yuriy posted:like actually racist or "he said things i dont agree with politically"? Bad News Allen absolutely hated Piper in the 80s because of his racism. Obviously that was a long time ago but Piper doesn't seem like a guy that has changed too much. Now if you stopped listening to all of the wrestling podcasts run by racists your listening options would be limited. Today he's a harmless old loon who no one takes seriously anyway so let him tell his stories.

Some people might call it racist (quite reasonable btw), but Piper telling everyone in some Mexican arena to be quiet so he can play the Mexican National Anthem, and then he plays La Cucaracha sounds like the biggest heel move/heat getter in history. I looked for video after I heard the story but could not find it. I bet the crowd booed so hard the building shook.

He came out to apologize for his actions because he was in a heated feud with Chavo Guerrero Sr. As a way of apologizing, he requested silence so he could play their anthem. Then he played La Cucaracha, as you said. Apparently people were furious, bring a gun to the matches furious.

Austin gives a really good off-the-cuff critique about the Ziggler/Neville match on his latest podcast. He makes a big point of talking about how good both guys are and how much potential they have before pointing out the stuff that he thinks they got wrong or should have done differently, and it all makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Just my 2 cents. Mike Coughlin posted:Cannot fathom ppl actually being upset at people being nice to a kid whose every day life is an unfathomable struggle of poo poo. Todd Martin posted:I know the board isn't the place to be addressing serious philosophical arguments, what with assholes trying to score cheap points. But I absolutely stand by my point. And I think it ought to be self evident that my original point was not an endorsement of humiliating the child. If the other kid hadn't let him win, the audience all could have still given him a standing ovation for his effort, as I mentioned before. And then the audience would have been cheering for something real that he accomplished rather than for something fake that he didn't. Mike Coughlin posted:Next time that kid with CP has to spend 45 minutes putting on his shoes Todd will come along and tie the laces together to teach him a lesson. Mike Coughlin posted:If Todd was the king in 300 he'd have put that little deformed midget guy on the front lines of battle. It goes on and on but basically Todd is a sperglord.
