He talked with them for 20 minutes and took photos with them. Again it was Christmas and he was running in to grab one item but still took time away from his family to talk with my sons. Amazing down to earth guy.

[@DJYC21215]

Booker T won every single match against Triple H up to Wrestlemania for the build up. There's even a match where Him and Scott Stiner beat Evolution in a 2 vs 4. The general rule of thumb: Whoever wins the build up matches loses the PPV match. Triple H can't lose every single match against booker T man. The mistake they made was, if they were gonna have the Heel go over at wrestlemania, then Booker should have lost all the build up matches.

The problem with the Booker and Triple H storyline at the end, is that Booker lost. So the racist guy won in the end.

[@TrailerParkCinderella]

I think at the time that was a poor rash decision by HHH to give their match some heat because on that WM19 card I’d argue 4-5 more matches had more steam behind them. Doesn’t make what he did right but yeah. Hogan/McMahon, Austin/Rock, Angle/Lesnar, Jericho/HBK

[@BudJr]

@ Well Booker thinks differently. He mentioned in an interview that this loss completely derailed his career. He said of course he gained back all of the momentum later in his career, but this really bothered him. He said even today, this still ticks him off. And I don’t blame him.

[@stephenhughes5156]

HHH wasn't explicitly racist during that rivalry though. He may have said 'people like you don't get to be champion' but that doesn't neccesarily mean black people.

[@dboslice]

Right. Even if he was champion for a month like they did Randy. They was going to find a way to make Triple H champion again, anyway. So it was definitely bold that they let HHH win. Because him winning was their way of saying that Triple H was absolutely right about everything that he said in his promos. Which sent out the wrong message.

​@@michaelbull4344 as a non-american, this makes so much more sense than it being okay to say but only when black people say it. Because in other countries, it's a hard concept to wrap our head around. There's taboo words all over the world. But outside the west, we dont have taboo words that certain people are exempt from. Either everyone can say it or no one can. That's people saying the n-word isnt as much of a big deal outside the west (asia, for example). Because we hear in music and movies and think well they say it so that means it's not taboo.

When I was younger my black friends and i (white dude) would say it back and forth to each other. One day I thought about it, that I put my friends in a bad situation saying it even if we were joking around and they were ok with. So, I just stopped. I appologized to them about saying it one day when I was older and explained why I stopped it. 1. its wrong on my part regardless if I get a pass. 2. i put my friend in a bad position. 3.

I do think the Booker T vs Triple H storyline would be looked at far differently.. if Booker overcame all that and beat Triple H. It's the fact Booker T lost..and at Wrestlemania, after all of that, which makes it that much worse.

[@FanBoy4K]

Technically most black artists don’t care if you say it while singing their song

[@yaboi_LGK]

​@FanBoy4K Can't say most. That's an over-generalization. I also don't think D-von's explanation was a great one. I can see his point, but he is also an "old-head" in the black community that more than likely just doesn't feel comfortable with the word. The younger generation than him changed the rules. The counter-argument will always be that black people have reclaimed the power that word has from white people that would say it with malice. It's a real phenomenon with lots of different oppressed groups of people in thay they take the racial/homophobic slurs used against them and repurpose them in their favor. The ideology is the same as when a bully would call you "fat" or "ugly," in that if you just lean into the insult, the power those words have against you in a demeaning sense are nullified. It still isn't an excuse or invitation for the bully to still use those words without repercussions. So yeah, rap those words in your car alone all you want...but try it in public and the consequences are yours to handle should they arise.

A prank stops being funny when someone's health is at risk. Not to mention, you just don't mess with someone's food. That's one of the biggest no-no's when it comes to pranks, because now whatever you did to them is going to be inside their body.

I wonder did that really happen? There is a famous story about Orton shitting on a Diva's bag & that apparently isn't true, so would the sandwich be true then? Also shitting on a sandwich seems like a lot of work. Throwing it away seems to be easier & less messy than preparing it, so I have my doubts that anybody ever did that.
