That's heel heat brother!El Grande Americano has been changed from being billed from the Gulf of America to the Gulf of Mexico
I know for a fact that the mexicans found that funny, it was the redditors and nogs that whined about it. I remember reading a reddit comment about it that went something like "its about the real world and not something the crowd can have fun booing at", when you ask yourself why quality of wrestling has been on the decline, these are the "people" that promotions have to cater to.El Grande Americano has been changed from being billed from the Gulf of America to the Gulf of Mexico
generally its terminally online whites who cry the most about Racism, I remember watching a on YouTube video recently of JBL doing an angle kicking out mexicans on the border during his feud with Eddie in 2004 and this Mexican guy comments saying him and his brother found it hilarious back in the day, like go watch AEW if you want a faggot hugbox Jesus Christ
It's fucking hilarious and WWE would benefit from having more of this outrageously comical/absurd shit:
Funny thing is that JBL didn't want to do that, but Eddie talked him into it. Rey was supposedly furious about it
Scott Steiner truly was the hero we need
Eddie was always chill about that kinda stuff like with Brock coming out with a Sumbrero, imo stuff like that worked better in the 2000s because people on both sides were less Anal when their side got made fun of, even when Jack Swagger was doing the right-wing gimmick during the feud with Del Rio I thought that the Conservatives on FOX News getting mad about it were dumb, at the end of the day its a wrestling thing, if you cant laugh at yourself then how do you even function. I wasn't watching at the time because I was like 6 but looking back JBLs run in 2004 and 2005 was pretty good and eventually elevated Cena when he lost the belt
In a odd way I kind of envy them with how they perceive kayfabe, you have neckbeards nitpicking and bitching about everything because they know its actually scripted, with Indians for as dumb as they can be they can actually enjoy it, its like a retarded version of an 80s crowd where they actually legitimately hated the heels
I try and suspend my disbelief when I am watching it and I like to think that Indian viewers know it's a work but just pretend in the comments.
I can suspend disbelief with certain things and I have a slightly younger cousin that also suspends disbelief, like me he isn't necessarily a casual viewer or a smark, just kinda a hardcore fan that exists in between, whereas I started watching again with the Tribal Chief stuff in 2022 he started watching again when CM Punk returned, hard to get a pop out of either of us but with enough effort its definitely possible, I imagine with India its somewhat similar given the level of internet access
