Next wrestler to come outta the kkkloset?

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

This is the same guy who around a year ago at this time said that the n word was just the business term for black wrestlers, and everyone used it, but it wasn't racist. Just a business term that everyone used.

I don't recall that but if that's true

He said it on the WO radio show. Right around the time of Hogan's stuff coming out. I was reading a thread about it today and even Double Talk Dave's stans were like WTF. On the same show he also said that wrestlers making homophobic jokes in the locker room had nothing to do with homophobia, too.

I've never been a fan of Meltzer, but he's officially on my "fade on sight" list.

Comparing black people being called n#ggers to wrestling fans getting called marks, and rationalizing it as being "part of the business" is just

He even wrote about it in the WON, this is from a review he did of Teddy Long's shoot interview regarding Flair and others using the N-word:

He said that Ole Anderson was a bad human being, and that Anderson and Ric Flair, used the n-word. Wrestling was always way behind the times on that one because that was a business term for black wrestlers through the 80s, long after it was considered unacceptable pretty much everywhere else. It’s not defending it, because I’m sure nobody liked it just like the Mexican wrestlers didn’t like the jokes being told, but even as late as this year, the jokes were prevalent enough that everyone privately admits them ever since Del Rio and Rodriguez went public with them. It’s not so much racism as environment with the n-word and people trying to tell jokes and not aware until after the fact that there were people who didn’t like the jokes.

I doubt AJ or Daniel Bryan are racist.

Curt Hennig and Rick Rude seemed like they hated black people. Right now Rollins is the guy that comes to mind.

I always felt that as well.

Dave normally says some type of stuff because he's too into the wrestling bubble, but this is beyond going full retard with it.

I don't think he's a racist but he's completely clueless about racism and what exactly that is.

We've clowned Dylan Hales in the past in TSC - he sure deserves it most of time - but he had the best insight about this issue.

Mind you, Dave Meltzer is a dude who still thought the promo Alexa and Becky had on SD about Becky being "not supposed to be the champion" was 100% about their looks. He had no concept that the promo was about Becky being a weirdo and underdog, instead reading it as being about psychically appearance because women were involved.

I remember listening to a MLW podcast and Bauer and Konnan basically said the same thing, haven't listened to them since.

Listening to Konnan talk about anything

Once again this goes back to TSC for people that they like.

We have a poster on here that's more than likely on the Autism Spectrum, lives in a insular bubble of pro wrestling, probably doesn't interact very much with people off of the Internet, and says some outlandish things. But nobody gives that dude a pass, and everybody knows who I'm talking about. I've seen people try to expose that man & his family, wish death on him, and even go as far as to try to meet up to fight him. But when it comes to Meltzer using some 1950s backwoods logic in regards to racial slurs it's "He's Autistic and doesn't understand how to interact with people "

If we're being real if Randy Orton was a wrestler that TSC liked most of y'all would be caping for him the same way y'all did for Seth. I mean the dude was in a legitimate relationship with a known white supremacist, and y'all let that slide like it was nothing

And with all that, he still runs this place. There might be more threads about him on here than any other wrestler.

I missed it, what are people suspecting D-Bry is a racist?
