It's pretty great if only because it really does prove that Eddie's bit in... Raw, I think?, about Cosby calling him up over the "filth flarn filth" doesn't have any embellishment at all. Which also means that Eddie calling up Pryor and Pryor telling him "next time he bothers you, tell him to call me and I'll tell him to go gently caress himself" is probably just as true.

Eddie Murphy hosted SNL this week and took some light shots at Bill Cosby (and really, himself) during the monologue. Basically he said if you'd asked him back when he was part of the SNL cast, which of him or Cosby would be in prison in 2019 and which would be a beloved family entertainment figure and father of 10, he'd have taken the bet on himself being behind bars.

And ol' Bill responded by comparing Murphy to Stepin Fetchit and also comparing him to a house slave

To which Cosby's rep replied with an incredibly whiny and delusional statement about how Cosby "unifed the races" while Murphy went back to the "plantation" as a "Hollywood slave".

Meanwhile, Dave Marquez is still trying to figure out whether or not he can use Cosby's statement to further defend Jim Cornette.

Emi comes to the ring in a Freddy Mercury gimmick and Riho's tag team partner is Britt Baker. I dont see how even dumb racists can think they are ripping off the Kabuki Warriors. That tweet is legit baffling

unfortunately, it becomes easier to understand once you realize or remember that humour to these 'people' begins and ends at transgressing. it's 'funny' because it's taboo to say, regardless of any other factors.

like, either dude is genuinely ignorant or doesn't care about the distinction more than he cares about getting a hilarious tweet off, but either way i imagine he thinks he's hella clever.

STOP DOING HEROIN
There's like a negative percent chance any of these people have ever watched joshi, and when Kana signed with WWE she immediately became their only frame of reference for Japanese women wrestlers. That's how you get all these dumbass "durr they're ripping off Asuka" tweets (and also racism).

the best part about all of these idiots is they don't accept either of the Kabuki warriors speaking fluent english. Until they summon up the whitest possible voice to call the cops on these creeps.

They clearly did some research into their very racist joke though with the twitter accounts they tagged in it to make sure that their oh so funny joke was seen by its targets - not too much research though since they tagged the very old English Ice Ribbon twitter that hasn't been used since 2012; the same year that both left there. Can't imagine that research involved anything more than checking wikipedia and certainly didn't involve watching either wrestle but people that make that sort of racist joke aren't well known to be big thinkers.

Not to mention that both Riho and Emi's socials have Gatoh Move in them, so they apparently couldn't even be bothered to look at the lower third during an entrance on AEW.

And Excalibur mentions Gatoh Move quite a bit when Emi is there. Although any research would reveal that she debuted twenty years before Kairi Sane which make the comparison comical and it’s clearly just a racist WWE fan who refuses to believe that other wrestling exists - the same reason why people like the VCR geek are like THIS ISNT WRESTLING when they encounter clips of Gatoh Move.

What would the odds be of them calling Naito a “Nakamura wannabe” if he ever went to WWE?

Well, that's when you're making a wrong assumption.

They've never seen an episode of AEW.
