Killshot is the gimmick that Shane Strickland uses in LU. Basically the PTSD equivalent of Apocalypse from Memphis. Had a really great match with AR Fox at Ultimo Mucha 3

The Mack is a great wrestler who failed his WWE medicals a few years ago.

My only guess is that wrestlers utterly suck at value judgments.
Just utterly, utterly suck.

I mean except Jeff Jarrett.
Jarrett at least makes sense.

Listen to his wrestlecrap interview from back in the day. He comes off as genuinely charming and gregarious when face-to-face.

At this point, Russo's the fall guy. There is absolutely no reason why you'd fire a writer that can't spell unless you need someone take the blame when poo poo blows up.

Well yeah, the joke wasn't that he flips back and forth, its that Konnan isn't Mexican but Cuban carries too many weird stigmas in the US so he is Mexican

It's the same thing as the "but I have black friends so I can't be racist" defense. All it means is they think they've found one of the good ones so clearly they can't be labeled as negatively as all the other racists/nazis

Notice how Russo got involved with the company too, despite all the previous abhorrent poo poo he said about Mexican wrestling. His opinion on it hasn't changed, he just found a way to be paid by one of those companies so clearly this one in particular is good in his opinion which makes it okay, see he's not really that bad now right guys

Noted virulent racist and Proud Boys founder Gavin MacInnes has an Asian wife and child as well while branding himself a "western (white) chauvinist". It's kind of a thing with Nazis to see oneself above your spouse, I guess.

And the reasons for this are complicated but there are definitely white supremacists who hate Asians less than they hate black people, Jews, Mexicans, etc.
