I know every time there's a roast, the talk is that anything goes, you can't have thick skin, and I get it.

But this was a work event, you can't have employees come to a work event and have people throw racial, sexist and other jokes at them and just say "It's a roast :hubie: "
If I’m a lawyer, I’m reaching out to every single woman or minority in that company to see if they want to sue.

I agree

Like I’m not gonna be mad about this shyt or pretend too… this is how all these roasts go and has since its existence or whatever

But if I were one of the wrestlers I’d feel a type of way

Isn’t the point of a roast to roast the people who are there so they can get their own jokes in?

Targeting people who aren’t there is just bullying.

Like making Freddie Prinze Sr. jokes is :dahell:

Some of the other stuff I saw they're making jokes about wrestlers that haven't been there for years.

In a roast, sure, the humor thrives on being edgy and over-the-top, but there's still a line. The goal is usually to tease someone or exaggerate a public persona in a way that's clever, biting, or even absurd, *not* to rely on lazy or harmful stereotypes, especially without a real punchline. What's funny about implying Shinsuke eats dogs? Or using the stereotype of Black women as aggressive or "pitbulls" about Bianca? Or about a Punjabi Sikh and ISIS?

Those are just lazy cheap shots without any wit or subversion.

Honestly this is all just standard Comedy Central roast shyt, all the wrestlers I've heard so far have just done their TV shticks basically
Being ego-sensitive is entrenched in the carny business at it's core - a roast was never gonna work and that's why they wanted no part of it being filmed in a day & age where they pump out any content they can.

My thing is the fans seem more upset than the wrestlers it seems

All these tweets and posts about Sami Zayn not participating and how unacceptable it was

Mf was yeeting on Monday.

I like roasts and have been to roast battles in LA, Sacramento, and SF but these were some lazy "jokes". Nothing new or fresh. I've even met Tony Hinchcliffe when he was just a door guy at the Comedy Store but he's never been a good comic. He uses the same old tired jokes all the time. Just says lazy racist shyt like David Lucas. Imagine being a fat POS like David and calling someone else fat.

Tony thanked Triple K for letting them do the roast.

I only heard Nia and I didn’t think it was that bad.
I didn’t laugh but it wasn’t due to any offensive nature.
Nia is just not a comic.
I cracked a smile at people’s reaction more than anything.
She did make a joke about Rhea having booty and Charlotte having the opposite :mjlol:
