So we're going to check out 10 most racist moments in wrestling WWE, etc If you've been watching WWE for a while You've probably seen some borderline racist storylines promos and segments Back in the attitude era you could get away with saying certain stuff and doing certain storylines nowadays Obviously if WWE was to try those same storylines and segments They would definitely have an issue on the hand from the network from Thousands to millions of people wanting the show to be canceled. It would it would definitely be an issue So we're gonna check this out man and see if we can you know really dive deep into some of just the the craziest storylines that at the time period I guess was Okay to bring up we can definitely check this out. This is gonna be interesting. Appreciate all the love and support Road to 50k and let's do this man Keep it up Unfortunately, I would never forget that What are you doing, bro? I just can't believe he said that on live television There have been far too many instances of racism in wrestling throughout the years a lot of these instances go on behind closed doors And only get revealed later down the line However, there have been times when major wrestling companies such as WWE have been openly racist on their television programming Because of the color of my skin But which times were they well join us now as wrestling yellow Oh, man, the most racist moments in wrestling Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook Number 10 Shelton Benjamin mocks Yoshi Tatsu In 2009 WWE would debut the talented Yoshi Tatsu on the ECW brand for his debut match Yoshi would go one-on-one with WWE's best in-ring performer Shelton Benjamin Unfortunately a pre-match promo by Shelton completely overshadowed Yoshi's debut before they wrestled Shelton would mug Yoshi's Japanese accent threatened to call Godzilla and even mock the traditional Japanese bow It was incredibly tasteless and it did absolutely nothing to help get Yoshi over as a new superstar Make his debut back on ECW tonight There was actually quite a bit of backlash online following the segment and Thankfully moved away from Yoshi's first storyline being solely based on his race Number nine Jim Nydart is a KKK member Without question one of the most distasteful moments in pro wrestling history I heard at an independent show in 1995 Virgil was set to take on a wrestler known as thug when thug made his way to the ring It appeared as if himself and his bodyguard were dressed in KKK outfits The bodyguard then revealed himself to be Jim Nydheart the thug and Nydheart then proceeded to lay out Virgil It was one of the worst moments in pro wrestling history We'll never know why anyone thought it was a good idea in the first place number eight JBL What in the hell? Even for back then that was a little that was way too far that was crossing that the line is right here They jumped over it like yo, what was that yo goes hunting for illegal immigrants Or when Brock Lesnar Goldberg and Stone Cold Steve Austin were all absent from WWE programming following WrestleMania 20 WWE urgently needed to create new main event level stars and one of these stars that would look to was Bradshaw Bradshaw would be repackaged as JBL and begin a feud with Eddie Guerrero over the WWE title an element of JBL's new Character was a hatred for seemingly anyone who wanted to enter the US WWE wanted to emphasize this point of his character so much so that they aired a segment which featured JBL hunting for illegal Immigrants on the border between Texas and Mexico towards the end of the infamous segment JBL were confronted family And then proceed to physically kick one of the individuals as a family ran away Number seven Rodney max white boy challenge Rodney max white boy challenge was a short-lived gimmick for Mac in 2003 They can make involved Mac challenging any white member of the Royal roster and then Mac would proceed to squad This would last for a few months before the challenge was answered by Goldberg Obviously Goldberg was victorious But during this time period Mac was a part of a stable with Teddy long and jazz known as Thuggan and bugging enterprises Now the stable consisted of African American superstars who believed that they were being held back due to their race Unfortunately, although the stable would add a lot of talented superstars such as Mark Henry and jazz the group never obtained much popularity number six Jinder Mahal impersonate Shinsuke the 2017 push of Jinder Mahal was one of the more controversial pushes remember when he was WWE champion remember Remember that In recent memory Jinder went from a virtual job at a WWE champion in just a space of a month And throughout Jinder's run WWE fans struggled to take him seriously He's run as a WWE champion had some rather underwhelming moments and unfortunately for Jinder and WWE a particular segment that he was involved in was Universally panned during his feud with Shinsuke Nakamura Jinder would cut a promo on Smackdown which featured the WWE champion mocking Nakamura's accent saying all Japanese people Look the same and he wouldn't even compare Nakamura to mr. Miyagi the live crowd would chant That's too far and that's racist as Jinder continued the backlash was so severe that the WWE was forced to issue a Statement in that read just like many other TV shows or movies at WWE creates programming with fictional personality I want you to understand Things have to get approved before it gets on television before they exit Into the arena before they you know walk down the ramp that all has to get approved by Vince Most of the time it has to get approved by Vince That means it's been told and rehearsed and resided to multiple people before he got to Vince Vince okay, then when they get the backlash they have to backpedal backtrack. Oh, we're sorry This is not how we really feel It all goes to Vince Vince has the last say so on a lot of this stuff. So it's like come on, bro Come on, these that cover real world issues and sensitive subjects as a producer of such television shows WWE corporate is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by a diversity of our employees performers and fans worldwide Number five Kurt Angle is not a fan of the black people a New Year's revolution in 2006 was notable for a number of things Edge would win his first ever WWE title by cashing in on John Cena and Kurt Angle caused a lot of controversy Thanks to a racist comment he made during a promo for some context Angle would cut a backstage promo alongside manager Devarie in the promo angle would state that his favorite country is France before randomly revealing that he wasn't a fan of the Black people the point of Angle's promo was for him to make a point that Angle could say anything and the crowd would always cheer for him Now although the comment was completely tasteless WWE decided against editing it off the WWE Network and as a 2021 It's still featured on the pay-per-view in its original form. Wow You know Truth be told. I'm not a very big fan of the black people number four Triple H a storyline leading up to Booker T and triple This right here Actually legitimately upset me and for a minute it did not make me like Triple H for a while because they basically went with this storyline of Booker T wasn't good enough because he was black they went the races Route and I'm thinking they're gonna give Booker T the ultimate rub here and give him the W to beat Triple H But they never did triple H still retain So it was like once again racism prevail and it pissed me off because I felt like At the time I feel like Triple H really could have if they're gonna go this route with this type of Storytelling here with racism being the the theme here like you're not good enough because you're black And you don't give the guy the rub because the fans wanted Booker T to win You don't give him Did up here? I feel like I just didn't feel like Triple H really fought hard enough to give him that victory here to let him go over like For while this this really turned me off to wrestling and it just turned me off to like Triple H and everyone That was behind on this because like bro. He could have gave him that win If you're gonna go this route, he could have gave Booker T the rub here Blach's matchup WrestleMania 19 is without a doubt one of the most controversial storylines in WWE history The storyline had racist undertones to rest and one particular promo from Triple H a few weeks before WrestleMania was clear evidence of this In the promo Triple H would state I think you're a little bit confused about your role in life here You're going to get to go to WrestleMania But the fact is Booker someone like you doesn't get to be world champion people like you don't deserve it That's reserved for people like me. That's where the confusion is. You're not here to be a competitor. You're here to be an entertainer See what you do. You entertain people. Hell you entertain me all the time Go ahead do a little dance for me. Go ahead. Give me one of those spinaroonies entertain me That's your job. Don't be embarrassed You're here to make people like me laugh with your nappy hair and your suckers Well, sadly it didn't stop there as the WWE with air segments Featured Triple H throwing money at Booker telling him to carry his bags and even Triple H telling Booker to bring him a towel Although the storyline was controversial WWE could have made fans forget about the storyline if Booker simply beat Triple H at WrestleMania Instead he didn't and Booker lost clean to Triple H to make things worse the finish of the match involved Triple H Hating a pedigree on Booker and then waiting a whole 30 seconds before going for the pin Number three Vince McMahon drops the n-word at the 2005 Survivor Series Vince McMahon would have a backstage promo with WWE champion John Cena to close the promo the WWE chairman would refer to Cena as the n-word and just walk off Vince would then walk past Booker T and Charmella and Booker then proceeded to deliver his trademark catchphrase This without a doubt was one of the most tasteless and backward segments WWE have ever had WWE chairman himself according to Bruce Prichard It was a different time and admits that the segment doesn't hold up. Yeah stated. I don't think it holds up. Well, I Probably so Well, I think that there were people whose opinions were asked and you know again. It's just a Different time in a different place where you did different things that Yeah Different a different time because he could not get away with saying that now at all not even not You know not things that hold up and I go back and I'm into the Alfred Hitchcock hour now Taping it every single night, you know, you sit there and you watch some of the things of On television of men just basically Slapping the out of women back and forth as if it was just another day at the office and it's it's just a time has a way of Making things cringe-worthy, you know, again, it's just different time different place different different mentality The infamous segment has since been edited off the network But it's still a clip that often gets shared around social media. Number two blackface in WWE Now WWE has unfortunately had a long-standing history with allowing their superstars to use blackface in a storyline The first instance of this was with Roddy Piper who proceeded to wear half blackface in half body paint for his feud with bad news Brown Another infamous segment took place in the Attitude Era and it featured DX doing an impersonation of the nation a domination stable in the segment X-Puck would impersonate as Mark Henry and would have blackface to try and mimic Henry X-Puck has gone on record to say that he hates the segment and wish it never occurred This segment has been since edited off the WWE Network and the final instance of this took place in the Attitude Era and featured Goldust in blackface for a match with Flash Funk Now the reason for this was at the time that Goldust was going through an identity crisis and was trying out new gimmicks And number one Hulk Hogan's rant in 2015 It was revealed that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan had gone on an anti-black rant during his league tape in the rant Hogan would express disgust with the idea of his daughter Brooke dating a black man Hogan would repeatedly use the n-word as well as admit to being a racist following this revelation WWE would cut ties from Hogan releasing him from his contract as well as removing him from the WWE Hall of Fame Hogan would also have all his merchandise pulled and Mattel would stop making action figures of Hogan as of today Hogan believes that he's apologized to both the locker room and the WWE universe However, some don't feel that way, but they have it folks. Yeah, he's definitely back in WWE He definitely I'm sure has some merchandise with WWE. Yeah, they You know there and I don't want to be on my high and mighty horse and say people can't be forgiven They truly are sincere about it. You know people can be forgiven So maybe he does have different sentiments about it. Who knows but as it stands He is has affiliation with WWE stuff. So, but yeah, man, this was this was a definitely a interesting video I like different takes different type of videos like this, you know, and it Racism has played a part in wrestling. You feel me?
