Turns out he's not Mexican at all according to him. His mom just married a guy whose surname is Lopez after he was born.

Yeah. That's what he means. But yeah that poster isn't the best evidence for a lack of PoC to be honest.

IDK if Armenian counts as white or not but I don't think white dude when I see Seth Rollins so uh...

WWE has gotten better about pushing POC but reminder that New Day were basically asked to do a minstrel gimmick before they fought hard to do what they do now.

It'd be awesome if Big E became a main eventer, though.

Actually they were asked to do a retread of the Nation of Domination but with Vince screaming "IT'S NOT ABOUT RACE, DAMNIT" until Woods said he didn't want to do anything racially charged or stereotypical. Vince then thought about it and told them to do a Gospel gimmick that they managed to transition into the current New Day gimmick.

Man I thought nothing of Xavier signing with WWE at the time but he has to be one of the best people WWE has gotten from TNA. Obviously AJ would be in first place and you could argue for Punk and Samoa Joe, but Xavier's been pretty valuable. Improved as a worker, too.

Yeah this is why they should do it. To make white people cry more. (seriously though how loving ridiculous was that, and then like all of them lost their titles like two weeks later)

Roman's internalized white supremacy is evident in his moniker, the Big Dog. What do dogs wear? Leashes. And big dogs wear big leashes. Roman must cast off the shackles and the vest of the white man and let his flabby gut swing free and then I will cheer for him to beat the white devil Brock Lesnar and take his belt.

I bring it up a lot, but one of my all time favorite moments was when Xavier was on commentary with JBL and this happened (paraphrased):

JBL: So you're a college boy, huh? Doing your PhD?
Xavier: Yes I am.
JBL: :lol: Okay nerd, what's your PhD in? :laugh:
Xavier: My PhD work is dealing specifically with Special Needs children to assist in their education.

He was writing his dissertation at the time he was called up, so that was all he had left to do. Probably worked on it in the locker rooms when other people had the PS4.

He completed it. Austin Watson, Ph.D. Dude's resume is ridiculous. 31 years old, wrestling for 13 years professionally, graduated with a masters in psych and bachelor's in philosophy then went on to do his PhD in educational psych while working the ring. Married with a less than one year old kid. Runs a small YouTube empire on the side.

Whenever he decides he's done wrestling, he can walk away without a regret.

The New Day are all smart guys. Big E graduated from Iowa, earned his teaching certificate there and was working on his masters while playing football. Kofi's got a bachelor's from Boston College.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

I'm half Armenian and pale as hell, so you'd never notice with me. From what I've seen, skin tone can range from fairly dark to kind of a light olive complexion.

On the plus side, I know how to call people a fat rear end in Armenian.
