The first five for Sami, Kevin, Usos and Drew. The second for Sheamus. The sixth for Gunther (fifth in WWE making him the sole leader ahead of Gargano with four)

Vince McMahon, WWE Sued by Ex-Writer Over �Racist� Scene Scripts

quote:

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., Vince McMahon, and other executives allegedly discriminated and retaliated against a Black female writer for objecting to �offensively racist and stereotypical jargon� used in the scripts of Black wrestlers including Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews, according to a new lawsuit.

Britney Abrahams� multiple complaints were ignored, and she was pretextually terminated for taking home a WrestleMania-branded chair, according to the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Monday.

McMahon reinstated himself to the WWE�s board in January and in faces ongoing litigation stemming from his alleged rape and sexually assault of employees. The WWE recently announced it plans to merge with the UFC, which would create a $21.4 billion enterprise.

Abrahams began writing for WWE SmackDown! and WWE Monday Night RAW in 2020, according to the complaint. She complained of racial and gender stereotypes in scripts, including ones instructing Belair to say �Uh-Uh! Don�t make me take off my earrings and beat your rear end! " and Crews to speak with a �stereotypical and exaggerated Nigerian accent,� but was rebuffed, she said.

WWE didn�t immediately respond to Bloomberg Law�s request for comment.

�Harmful Stereotypes�
She was allegedly subject to a number of racist pitches after complaining. On a Slack thread that McMahon and his daughter Stephanie McMahon were included on, other writers suggested a Black male wrestler should dress in drag. Only when a White writer noted that doing so could �perpetuate harmful stereotypes that would offend viewers� was the pitch scrapped, she said.

On another occasion, a writer allegedly proposed that a Muslim�s wrestler�s secret in a script be that he was �behind the 9/11 attacks.�

Abrahams and other writers complained about the comments, to which Vice President Christine Lubrano allegedly responded, �Wacky things are said in the writer�s room all the time!� and �I know but look at the waves we�re making in the company. 4 years ago, no woman worked on the writer�s team!�

Abrahams continued to opposed racist, sexist pitches, she said, and was fired in retaliation in April 2022. WWE fired her for taking with her a WrestleMania 38 branded chair, but the practice was allegedly a common practice that White male writers weren�t punished for.

She is seeking reinstatement, damages, declaratory judgment, and an injunction restraining defendants from engaging in such unlawful conduct.

Pretty wide definition

wikipedia posted:

The federal government defines the term AAPI to include "all people of Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander ancestry who trace their origins to the countries, states, jurisdictions and/or the diasporic communities of these geographic regions."

Now after that's sorted, let's move on.

I read the show recap on f4wonline. The new world title match was literally the opener, just in case anyone thought they were going to treat it as equal to Roman�s titles. Also, Cody has a metal arm now so he really is Luger 2.0.

Hey now, they said it was one of the three main events.

I do have to say, that it's nice, that there's a bit more young people watching wrestling again.

Most will disappear in 1-5 years, but a handful of them will eventually become sophisticated wrestling appreciators.

ROMAN/JEY WAS THE LONGEST MATCH IN SUMMERSLAM HISTORY

LONGER THAN WWE VS. NEXUS

LONGER THAN BRET VS. OWEN

Somehow when Tony Khan decides to do a long match, it's always a total banger, but in WWE it's usually a snoozefest.

-All longer than 36 minutes matches in TK-multiverse (multiman clusterfucks not included)
