As an adult now, I put this up there with Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance in "Tropic Thunder" as moments in entertainment where the performer was so over and lovable that I didn't peep the racist aspect in it until WAY after the fact.

In '98, I was a little DX/Rock stan, raising my eyebrow and ODing on giving girls the crotch-chop with my homies and I wanted Triple H to win the IC title.

The only thing I took from that sketch was "Yooo...this Jason Sensation kid CLOWNED Owen Hart."

Looking back, it's not really AS funny but neither is Val Venis nearly getting his dikk chopped off by Kaientai Mr. Yamaguchi, yet I'll always remember being glued to the screen for that episode like :merchant: :lupegarvey: Maybe it would've been more offensive in HD. :manny:

Best Friend in Language Arts: Hey...you know that new guy Edge? He's going to be a World Champion one day. Remember that I said it first. :ufdup:

Me: Maybe. :ehh: Does he even talk though? :patrice:
