[docthemetalfreak]

The Wizard you may remember better az the father of the Dungeon of Doom in WCW

[stevedrums]

Gene just laughed right at Kamala! How funny was that. The Kamala gimmick was actually started by jerry Lawler. He even designed the makeup for him.

[mtf10]

Damn Kamala was a racist gimmick.

[TurAurochs]

how?

[mtf10]

Are you kidding me? An incoherant and scary African that wants to do nothing but hurt nice white people. McMahon played on racism all the time.

[TurAurochs]

Yea, I see your point. But Kamala was black himself and didn't care enough to turn the job down.

[mtf10]

So that makes it not racist? People need to work, there weren't a lot of opportunities for minority wrestlers in the 1980's.

[lockenjr]

for sure and now linda is running for senate. I didnt even have to ask greedy rich from exploiting people then throwing them away. The mcmahons are picturebook republicans.

[flipgood89]

@lockenjr ....real talk

[terjer01]

HA! Mean Gene almost said "Queen" referring to Adonis. Brilliant!

[omizzlesohot]

I thought Race was a "young, up and coming talent" in the WWF?

[styrofoamtomato]

Harley Race was no up and comer when he came to the wwf. He had been wrestling in territories since the early 60's. He spent time in the AWA and NWA before coming to the wwf. So he was an experienced veteran by the 80's when he joined the wwf. In fact, he was ready to retire by the time he joined the wwf but because of financial ruin caused by Vince McMahon's poaching of NWA talent (which Race was a part owner of) he was forced to continue wrestling in order to make a living.

[BabyFace316]

I think someone has their sarcasm detector turned off.

[styrofoamtomato]

Sorry. Sarcasm can be near impossible to detect in written form when not emphasized by italics or an emoticon or something of that nature. Also, sarcasm generally is used in jest, to mock someone or something. When someone simply says, "I thought Race was a young, up and coming talent in the wwf?" That doesn't even VAGUELY suggest sarcasm; Except possibly to someone that knows you and KNOWS you were kidding. Keep practicing sarcasm though, you'll get it.

[BabyFace316]

I think having quotes around "you, up and coming talent" would have set off some kind of signal. Especially considering them pimping that fact when he debuted and then mentioning later how he was a "veteran in the ring."

[australl]

He put quotes up...you're an idiot (no sarcasm)

[styrofoamtomato]

i know, im such an idiot. im going to kill myself now.

[yardlet6]

@styrofoamtomato Not to mention seven time NWA world heavyweight champion.

[y2bs]
