Burgundy LaRue Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 As I understand it, Apollo and his family descend from the Tiv people, and spears are part of their specific culture. Carmella spat in Reginald's face. Used him as a stepping stool. That ain't progressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a heel, she isn't doing it because of his race. If "Reginald" had blond hair and blue eyes, would what she did be a problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then props to Apollo if he's researched his ancestry and this gimmick is legit. I won't nitpick about Tiv traditional garb favoring black and white. I'm amazed they got the colors of the Nigerian flag correct. Edited March 6, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is complaining about the optics of Apollo embracing his culture, but missing why spitting and stepping on a black man looks bad, what's being said here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I'm not in the mood to overtake the thread with this and frankly, this conversation is going nowhere. Best to step aside. Edited March 6, 2021 by Burgundy LaRue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for now, they seem to be doing OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Probably. Berserker tried to stab someone i believe, I remember the sword sticking into the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I skipped through the meat of the show to see the trainwreck and the main event. Leave it to Bryan to do something totally different with a cage match by deciding to forgo the escape rule and instead use the lack of rope breaks to work on and force a submission. He was also taking mean bumps and working offense outside of the ropes which I've never seen either. Jey definitely held up his end of the bargain, loved the Samoan drop from the top and the big splash. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did do an angle where Berzerker tried to stab The Undertaker. it led to absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
