Good luck with your depression!
wasn't Ibushi's cruiserweight appearance where he failed to recognize Vince, high fived him, and bailed without Vince even being able to introduce himself?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

That wasn’t just fantasy booking racism but straight up dropping slurs because an opportunity presented itself.

Imagine if Vince was booking a Nigerian prince, I think it would go a little something like this:

On top of all that, Joe Gacy hasn't had the gimmick that was referenced in like a year if not more.

I don’t think any of us want to go there but because Vince has gone there repeatedly in public to say nothing in private, we tend to fantasy book how Vince will screw it up in the the most despicable way possible.

Yeah so there’s no need to add in details like “Oh man I bet they make them say some slurs on live tv and then put the slurs on a t-shirt and then rename wrestlemania to slurmania, wow that’d be bigoted huh? I can’t believe how bigoted they are going to be!”

Everybody already knows the kind of poo poo they do, nobody needs your specific fantasy version of how it’s going to play out.

Again, it went beyond the usual fantasy booking (which also sucks) and ended with a list of slurs.

haha imagine Vince being as racist as this *proceeds to be the most racist person to exist on the planet* that would be so typical of wwe and definitely not me uncovering some deeply rooted prejudice of my own

There's a world of difference between saying "I have no faith in Vince McMahon booking an Asian man in a way that isn't racist, based on his track record" and whatever... that was.

Also, I have no faith in Vince McMahon's ability to book an Asian man in a way that isn't horrifically racist, based on his track record.

Silly fantasy booking: Butch has to win back the rights to every letter in his name like that one Harlem Heat feud

Bad fantasy booking: Butch has to say the n-word on live TV like that one time Vince McMahon happened to come across John Cena backstage at Survivor Series 2005. Also Booker T and Sharmell were there, because of course they were.

Saying literally whatever you want but pretending vince/the chuds/fyad/whatever is saying it instead is a time honored SA tradition.

Should it be? Who knows. But it is.

Yes he did, which means now Vince can just do it whenever without having to think about it like if you plugged in some numbers to a triangle area solver.

He has a cult thing called Schism going on and they all wear happy masks. It's like a really hosed up self-help group. It's kinda cool and his theme is great.

I think they also exiled that one tag team to the Forbidden Zone or something. Or maybe they murdered them. It was a "Loser leaves NXT" match so maybe they just had to walk down the road sadly while "The Lonely Man" plays

GYV are one of the best tag teams on the planet and they got them doing dinner theater with the PC Principal guy and the Rock's untalented daughter.
