Konnan REACTS to Kevin Nash's controversial R-Truth comments

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

KONNAN talks about the hidden meaning behind KEVIN NASH putting REY MYSTERIO over kzbin.info/www/bejne/poOZYoaMerCXptk

[@Oj11tomp]

As a black man I have an opinion on this. I think Kevin Nash is correct. But the person I blame for this presentation is R-Truth himself. Selfishly I wanted him to come in and be a serious wrestler. He decided to turn himself into a clown, so clown it is. He can switch lanes and I hope he does. Ron, my brother, please don't end your career as a clown

[@duckmercy11]

Yup, he could have easily gone to Vince years ago and demanded change.

[@therubenpena]

Yes, and there is honestly no excuse, this guy is talented in every single aspect and he's shown it before. I still remember missing his debut or comeback and every kid in school was talking about how cool he was and was going to be a champ in no time.

@@ceeejaaay1 actually he gave both the New Day and Truth more control over their characters than most realize. New Day went to Vince to stop WWE writers from writing for the New Day because they felt what the writers was giving them was offensive. From that point on New Day got bullet points only. Also, when Truth went heel he basically told us a how he felt about his character, in that it was the fans that drove him to be the comedy act because they would not accept anything else from him.

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

You can tell Truth and New Day enjoy the shenanigans they are doing. Especially with Truth, it’s given him serious career longevity without having to go through too much physicality. However, it is telling that there was almost a need for these guys to be silly caricatures in order to get over in Vince McMahon’s WWE.

Disco mentions Eugene, and I agree people stayed quiet about that. However, Eugene is a one off gimmick that shouldn’t have been done. Vince McMahon has a long history of racially charged comments, gimmicks, storylines, and characters in the WWF/E. As in, the guy’s been known for this stuff for a better part of forty years. He has a track record in doing it, particularly with black wrestlers. Ron Simmons oddly enough was taken more seriously in southern based WCW than in east coast based WWF/E. In WCW Ron was allowed to be himself and he was given a sincere push to win the title. R-Truth didn’t actually win a serious title until he was in TNA. The WWF/E never had any real interest in pushing R-Truth as a guy that fans should see other than a “spook”. That’s Kevin’s point.

It is not about seeing racism everywhere, but rather people form opinions based on their life experiences and within the context of history.

When he admitted it, he had a sad look on his face when saying it, in one of the WWE black history segments when they were talking about 2 Cold Scorpio. MVP and Lashley both used not wanting to be like the New Day on the buildup of the hurt business and even did so in a backstage segment with the new day. At the end of the day the WWE has a very small black audience, so even if it was majority of black audience tuned out there will not be much of an impact on their numbers. Bob Sapp in Japan has acted way worse than Ron and the New Day. The man was comparing himself to a monkey and was having people feed him bananas like he was in a zoo.

[@freestaterevolution]

Nash has become a bit...(quietly saying) woke. 😬

[@jackstraw4222]

nash still has cameos in second tier hollywood movies,so id guess hanging around other hollywood types got to him..

[@freestaterevolution]

@@jackstraw4222 Jack Straw from "Wichita Cut his buddy down Dug for him a shallow grave And layed his body down" Total Deadhead here! 😎

[@freestaterevolution]

My favorite R-Truth character was when he talked about "Little Jimmy" 😂

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

"Little Jimmy" was a stand in for the audience.

[@EddieWoodsRemnantOutreach]

WWE been buck busting their black talent for decades now. From Pimps to Tribal Savages, Idiots, Bladk Militants, Fake Street Thug Types surprised they never had somebody soft shoe for masta

[@JadenSteel]

It's not like Kevin is lying. You never see a black man in a serious part with the exception of Lashley

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

You forget about Lashely's loving his sister too much gimmick and him bending over for everyone. The ironic thing is they used those awful gimmicks in the buildup to the hurt business.

[@liamstewart4472]

Sami Zayn dances during his entrance. Anyone offended by that?

[@royalty843]

His is more of a crowd hype

[@Probblems]

Girl, stop.

[@3DBrawlChannel]

Ugh, gingers and their darn ska dancing!

[@jeepernj99]

He’s white it doesn’t count. 🙄 we’re trying to find racism here.

[@AaronLesterMedia]

Chill.. I've been offended by Truths gimmick... And to me Paul is no different than Vince.

[@President_Shin]

Nash didn’t lie, it’s been obvious. Disco using Eugene as an example was ridiculous when you have tons of other dominant Caucasian wrestlers.

[@christopherharte4741]

So if you are black you aren't allowed to do comedy?

[@hollywood415dc]

She lucky that you guys allowed her to waste so much of your time. After a few attempts I would've jump let the deck crew know about her behavior and then she could've had an awesome time on a BART train

[@__RYN__]

2:30 Its just not Ron Killings Disco he using R Truth to make a point its all non white talents

[@Maxx_d13]

R truth is a hustla at 51 years old… he never looks like he’s not tough when he’s doing funny stuff.. he’s still a g

[@specialkay1931]

Nash honestly isn’t wrong though….

[@jovidicap894]

Why is the audio on this show so horrible? Konnan sounds like he’s talking thru a soup can, disco sounds like he’s using a microphone from Temu, and for some reason I kept hearing sporadic mice squirming throughout this clip.

[@mauricejones7252]

Ayooo Kevin Nash is correct it's always us acting a fool dancing n rapping hit row street profits etc etc Lashley n Benjamin are like the only ones I can think of in the past 20 years that's not like that

[@donaldepolancocruz3720]

I agree 💯 with Kevin Nash said, what he said is totally true

[@ConcreteRoseCJ]

Controversial??? Vince made every minority wrestler play a stereotypical character based on whatever they look like

[@JetForceFive]

Vince always presented warped caricatures of people. Races, gender, nationalities, jobs, etc. Big Boss Man is like no cop I've ever seen. Isaac Yankem. His idea of a female's best qualities, or what an Italian or Russian looks and acts like, is pretty well-documented. He didn't do it so much in the early days, because he was accumulating established characters from other territories, but once the late 80s came, it was very much Vince McMahon's personal stereotypes that made it on the shows. Sometimes he would get talked out of something, or his idea bombed so he was forced to just let the performer try something. Kofi had dreadlocks, so you know, he's Jamaican, mon. Nash is pretty spot-on with it. A lot of people were slapped with unworkable gimmicks. But it hits different if you are female, Black/AA, Latino, German, Russian, Japanese, even Somoan's were presented as jungle savages half of the time - basically anyone that isn't a white male from North America got a gimmick that was pretty ignorant. And even then, you might have to be a clown or a male cheerleader.

[@maxblackcat]

Wanna get clicks on wrestling podcast? Talk about race in wrestling. I tuned out when Kliq This turned into a morning joe.

[@mhc12k]

Nash sounds hilarious "Don't act a fool"

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

‘Mexicools’ was offensive as hell. But I’ll be damned if 13 year-old me wasn’t STOKED to see some raza on WWE TV, and coming out to a banger theme no less 🇲🇽🤘🏻

[@jackstraw4222]

im in the uk and didn't know why they came out on lawnmowers or what the big deal was back then until tazz kept making jokes about it...

[@td163]

So did Nash speak on G.I. Bro or Booker T? "Can you dig it Sucka?" Those names and that gimmick was done in DubyaCeeDubya. You know the South.

[@BoutDatMusicGroup]

yes he did speak on booker he was spot on and i'm black

[@td163]

@BoutDatMusicGroup ok good. I'm black as well, and it's just goofy to see. However, he had nothing to say while he was in the business, so it's a moot point now coming from him. If anything like all the promoters and owners. He profited and benefited from the way blacks were or are treated.

[@seansmyth2899]

According to other wrestlers, Truth is just like that. He loves to mess around.

[@j80282]

Kevs turned in to a grumpy old man. Cant blame him after losiinng scott n T

[@BoutDatMusicGroup]

he didn't sound grumpy nor did he tell one lie

[@willanderson2747]

Props to Nash for calling out the racist stereotypes that are still prevalent in the Wwe!

[@ma14rc]

were not curing cancer here ....its wrestling.... R Truth is downright hilarious. next subject.

[@poindextersheelturn436]

Yeah keep the blacks as clowns for entertainment and nothing else. We get it.

[@duckmercy11]

So were the old stereotypical characters on early TV, ie Buckwheat or Amos & Andy. Entertainment value isn't a justification at all.

[@oogabooga9985]

Honestly im black i think it’s probably truth doing this goofy gimmick look at people like hayes and melo and the street profits and lashley there doing alright honestly i feel r will challenge priest for his whc

[@thabang_sammy]

which is better the miz turning on R-truth or R-truth turning on the miz?

[@3DBrawlChannel]

Miz is much, much, much better as a heel. Truth is far too beloved right now to turn him. Likely they'll just part ways after losing the belts anyway.

[@churchjones1758]

Nash is right. Triple H has a chance to change things now that Vince is gone. Hopefully they don't mess up Trick Williams or even Carmello Hayes

[@jeepernj99]

Yeah R truths gimmick isn’t working 🙄🙄. He’s had (has) a long wwe career, Is popular, and made a ton of money. Let’s change his gimmick obviously it’s not working. 😂

[@Christoffski]

Nash is right. WWE even put Max Caster in a dress. It's real racism.

[@jeepernj99]

Maybe Max wanted to wear that dress.
