    Is he trying to get fired?

    I just don’t get it. I’m not old enough to understand the connotation of the logo, I guess. But neither is he, then. I can’t climb into his skin. But HHH is not a racist. He’s not designing racist logos for a rib. This, to me, is as stupid as it gets.

    Just saw all this. So apparently he saw it on a white shirt and wasn't upset, or at least not upset enough to squash it, but when he saw it on a black shirt, he went off on social media about it.

    Here's the connotations of the logo:

    And age isn't the sole thing that determines understanding the logo. There are a lot of things that people of different races get exposed to growing up that those of other races don't understand, whether it's black, Korean, Indian, Native American, or whatever race you want to include. Just because you might be around his age doesn't mean you and he have the same experiences and understanding of racism.

    I said that, I havent walked a mile in his shoes.

    He wanted a rolling stones style logo tho, so he likes lips? I just dont get the reaction. Im assuming if he went public like this its because he told wwe it was bad and they said it wasnt? Why not handle internally instead of using the internet?

    The Lio Rush thing from a few months ago (not carrying bags) I totally understand, Lio was right. I don’t see how Jordan is helping matters and I don’t believe HHH is a racist

    I don't believe that HHH is a racist either. Butttt, this is an example of why it's important and valuable to have diversity *throughout* an organization. Because I bet WWE probably doesn't have many African-Americans in management, or doing design work for them. If they did, one of them probably would have said, "Hey, we probably should tweak this shirt design, because it looks like racist artwork."

    Only thing left for him to do is take the WWE title belt, tie it to the back of his car, and drive around in circles in the Stamford parking lot.

    He just called Jay Lethal an Uncle Tom?

    Either this is a work or he’s taken one too many chairshots.

    I don’t think HHH is racist. I think he just didn’t see it. I think that he probably was fine when he saw it on a white shirt, but then WWE put it out on a black shirt without running it by him and he was like “Oh hell no.” Why he couldn’t just shoot someone an email or text is beyond me, though. Try to handle it internally before you go on a social media rant.

    Unless they decided to work it as an angle, which you never know with the WWE.

    Remember when Rusev was one of the biggest killers on the roster?

    Yeah, those were the days.

    the insane thing is he was also hella over as a comedy act, ish, with Rusev Day.

    He’s both a killer and hilarious. This is really the only sort of angle he cant do!!

    One thing is, knowing how bad Lana seems to want to be a star, this might be as much her idea as the turrible writers
