I mean. Wrestling is entirely based on gimmicks and targeting demos.

Vince was going after the urban teen audience with exaggerated swagger.

It's literally a 75 year old man going ''hello fellow kids'' whenever they try a gimmick like that lol.

Didn't he have a TNA theme that was just the sound of a plane hitting a building?

Both Hassan and Chuck & Billy's had some of the most consistent vicious-sounding crowd reactions. They weren't just booing them for being heels, that was genuine hatred.

Yup. What was really weird is that he was acting like he was talking to someone but no one was standing there.

My girl and I recently watched GLOW (which is fantastic AND you get to see Allison Bries tiddies twice in the first episode!) which is about a female wrestling league in the '80s. Its pretty funny how unbelievably racist the characters are (Welfare Queen lmfao) and they're poking fun at it and my fiance asked if wrestling is really that offensive and I'm like holy shit yes lol. It's amazing how far the WWE has come and how far they still have to go

What I don't get is why Vince thought the Hassan gimmick was okay. Or why Sgt Slaughter didn't remind him of why having a gimmick featuring someone supporting a group America is literally at war with is a horrible idea.

It ended exact the same off screen as Slaughter supporting Iran did. Death threats and pissed off rednecks.

Meh. Cryme Tyme was one of my favorite gimmicks ever in WWE. It was the only hood gimmick I found genuinely entertaining. Sad they never really did much with them.
