This guy sucks, and the racism was the last straw.

Nothing pleases this man, he doesn’t understand that wrestling can also just be fun or for fans who are into the gimmick. Not everything is going to be for him, but he seems to hate everything that WWE is doing. I’ve been watching wrestling since the 80s, and I can understand that sometimes things seem like they’re going better than at other times. He can’t seem to accept that. And the final straw for me was him complaining about Spanish being spoken during a promo. The amount of Spanish-speaking fans out there is tremendous, and if this wrestler wants to pay respect to their culture… They should be able to do that. Nobody was complaining when Eddie Guerrero was coming out, and speaking Spanish. The comment “you are in America, speak English” makes my skin crawl. I’ve tried to give this podcast a chance a million times, and every time I listen I just wanna tell him STFU.
