On ECW last night, Shelton came out, then so did yoshi,Shelton took the mic Gimpie before the match and picked on Yoshi is name. Shelton then mocked the Registered User Japanese dialect and said Yoshi picked ''the WONG night to come to ECW''. Joined: Sunday, 30th of May 2010, 00:51:25 Shelton spent about two minutes mocking Yoshi. He bowed to him and posed Posts: 1306 in the crane kick position. Shelton bowed to Yoshi again, mocking him. (me Viewed 6006 times and my family was watching and was appalled and offended by this)
/>Is WWE so desperate for ratings that they will bring a persons race or
culture into it?

That was, by far, the funniest thing I've ever seen on ECW.

yeah, i think they are a little racist. Maryse speaks French Sweet cloud and that is how WWE makes the crowd boo at her.

As a wrestler who is worked as a heel (bad guy), for most of my Romeo career, what Shelton Benjamin did last night was a standard way for a heel Registered User to get heat (boo's). By insulting Yoshi Tatsu is culture, he allowed Yoshi Joined: Friday, 23rd of April 2010, 01:01:34 to get sympathy from the fans (which is the purpose of the face). This, in Posts: 893 turn, makes it much more satisfying for the fans when Yoshi won the match Viewed 9877 times with a single kick (making Shelton, the heel, look like a fool instead of
Yoshi). You have no reason to be upset with the WWE, as this is a
technique that has been used in professional wrestling for years.

I didn't see the show last night but from the information you B &;* C have told me it sounds racist. Unfortunately WWE does these things & uses Registered User race in their story plots from time to time. They call it entertainment or Joined: Saturday, 15th of May 2010, 00:00:39 trash talking about the only thing that can be done is to write to the WWE Posts: 783 & let them know ur disapproval. If enough people are offended they might Viewed 17279 times stop it.
I don't think they do it for ratings but probably just to get Shelton over
more as a heel, but I do get ur point & think WWE should know better. It is
wrong to mock someones race or gender & WWE seems to love to do that, JBL
said some awful things about Mexicans when he was feuding with Eddie
Guerro & their was this whole thing a few years ago with Teddy Long
accusing every white person in the company of being racist.

Well, Benjamin only did it in order to get some heat for Flexy himself & put over Yoshi Tatsu. Even if it seemed racist, it is like Cryme Registered User Tyme is Word Up segment, mocking stereotypes of the urban hood & their Joined: Saturday, 1st of May 2010, 21:00:05 cultures. It was only done as a joke & nothing more. The world may seem Posts: 1399 too sensitive sometimes, but I agree that it may of actually offended Viewed 15520 times people of Japanese descent, but this was done as part of showing Benjamin
is mic skills. Hopefully, it was only a joke, as I think Benjamin did not
mean it for us to take it seriously.
Besides, WWE had Benjamin get kicked in the head for a squash match, so
think of it as his ''comeuppance'' for what he did.
By the way, I don't get how WWE would do this for ratings. If they did, it
would blow up in their faces. Benjamin did this to put over Yoshi as a face
& himself as a heel, & he did his job, literrally & figuratively.
