If I remember, Lacey gave a pretty lame excuse afterwards to why its not blackface. Something about it can't be blackface since its a cartoon or ignoring that the character is lighter in skin tone than what she painted.

Then again she's also said and done a bunch of dumb type stuff on social media before as well.

I don't think Lacey is racist, just a bit clueless

Dumb move by blonde chick. Hope this doesn't ruin her career.

The Gingertaker

Just found out that Shad Gaspard was body scanned for Kratos in the recent God of War.

You actually made it look worse. If it were just a werewolf costume that went horribly awry, that’s...fucking dumb. But that she literally painted her white kid up to be black? Yeah...not cool.

:y:

It surprises me how much this dude has done outside of WWE. Surprised he hasn’t turned up wrestling anywhere else. Had a lot of charisma and seems to have life by the balls.

Again stop crying it's really not that serious but continue with your selective outrage.

ahaha you let your kid watch a show about whores.

That's a black werewolf stripper.

Good costume for a white kid.

Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa!

They're smuts not whores.

:shifty:

Stick to watching Hannah Montana and ICarly instead of a show you have no clue about.

:lol:

I'm sorry what channel does Werewolf Whores come on?

I'm loving this name.

Too bad there's no racial slur for blacks starting with W.

And too bad those ain't latino. Wetback Werewolf Whores sounds so cool.

There should keep y'all busy a few days.

Eh, it might be considered pretty serious to a lot of your talent, fans and sponsors. I don’t see those clips of Piper popping up in the Mania highlights packages anymore. My outage is only selective in the sense that it’s come up here. I disapprove of anyone painting up their daughter in blackface, but it’s not always posted in this wrestling thread.

Every character looks like they should be on HBO’s Hookers at the Point. What’s the first scene on the show? Taking the whole football team in the locker room?.

She's so fucking awful.

That’s not even all of them.

:lol: at his rockstar scream.

I must be getting even more cynical, because I don't find that sort of shit entertaining at all. Like, he might be good and at least he tries, but that was pretty lame in front of a pretty lame audience.

When does AEW start?

On an unrelated note, I wish they didn't bombard Kayla's face with so much makeup. Are freckles considered unattractive?

Quite the indie gimmick that'll get over in front of 200 neckbeards and flop on the main roster

Yeah.... said it in another thread, but NXT really doesn't help prepare rasslers with what to expect and how to get over on the main roster since the NXT fans eat anything up.....

Chicken and Tap Water: The Chris Benoit Story.

I feel like he's Adam Rose 3.0 and No Way Jose 2.0.

Triple H and Vince McMahon have very different goals. I think Triple H is still trying to "get over" in his position. NXT is a niche programming thing designed to get people in the door and provide content for the Network. It's in his best interest to make sure effort goes in to getting talent over for that audience.

Vince has got 5+ hours a week to fill. He wants drones he can plug in. If you're not going to come in and be over, then he'll just move on to someone who can be. He's not about to try and put effort into carefully crafting a journey around someone arbitrarily unless he wants to.

Can someone explain what's going on with Aries? Is he really deranged or just shooting a bit too hard?

Probably a mix of both. He pulled similar antics with his feud against Johnny Impact the last time he was in the company. His recent stuff against Sami Callihan do seem to be more legit resentful.

Also pretty much might have spoiled Impact's big announcement of a former champion appearing at their Mania weekend show with his recent antics.

Pretty much. NXT has been pretty good at churning out comedy gimmicks every so often but a terrible track record when it comes to handing them over to Vince and Creative.

Then again, same can be said for the bulk of NXT callups.

The guy appears to have a ton of charisma and a good look.

They're fucking, of course.

In Vince/creatives defence, what can you really do with gimmicks like this. Hey Brock, next month we want you to fight the guy who plays an air guitar.

Feud him with Elias I guess and have Santino come back and play his air trombone. Start an air band. They get pigeonholed from the beginning with gimmicks like this. I know I don't really watch current wrestling but when I see a guy like Eric with his looks and charisma, I'm getting him as far away from comedy as possible.

You can get some fun and usage with the gimmick but it is a very low ceiling for success. Like maybe something leaning more towards 3MB era Heath Slater for possible inspiration or direction if he sticks with the gimmick.

With No Way Jose, Vince and/or Creative didn't even bother to at least try something with him before losing all interest and relegating him into irrelevance. At least with Adam Rose, they had something interest for a bit with the goofy Bunny storyline and some potential with his heel turn.

What can you do with stuff like this? At least change their gimmicks when they get called up. Especially when there's clearly something there to work with. They don't HAVE to keep the gimmicks they use in NXT. I don't get why they do that. They should be calling up the wrestler, not the wrestler and the gimmick.

Like then I see this new Eric guy, I immediately thought Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride/Ravishing Rick Rude. The hair, the physique, swooning ladies off their feet .The ladies love him but the guys hate him because women find him irresistible.

That's the direction i would go I with him. That's a gimmick you could put high on your card.

WWE's been horrendous when it comes to transitioning wrestlers from NXT and supposedly its due to them not really keeping tabs or caring what goes down there.

Its also due to Triple H having to balance needing to prove to investors he can run a company and knowing Creative is going to botch the handling of call-ups.

Even when NXT hands them gimmicks that are very flexible or useful for the main roster, WWE still finds a way to botch things like with the recent batch of callups.

Braun's been the best raw talent got from NXT and Creative still found ways to botch his stardom rise and popularity.
