AxelMania should come out on Raw and Sasha should give him the Banks Statement because of symbolism.

Axel should be the third man for the Wyatts

I was thinking. It's one thing to erase Benoit, he main evented a few PPVs in the mid-2000s, that's it. Are they actually going to go full on with this and try to remove Hogan from Wrestlemania 1-9? Is that even possible?

surely not.

I'd have thought Benoit as a murderer is a special circumstance. Obv WWE is a listed company, there are PR and investor relations issues etc. but nevertheless they've had employees who have been convicted of crimes or made outrageous and offensive statement before and never been "wiped from history". Can't be just pretending people don't exist everytime they do or say something outrageous. You can dump them ofcourse, but don't remove them from events 20 years ago.

Wasn't totally serious there.

I hope they do this for every Hogan win at Wrestlemania

Haha, tbf he kind of is... just not in an especially good way.

I've never understood why the Rock doesn't count as a black wrestler in many people's eyes.

What's the irony? Is Naitch a racist as well?

New Jack and Shelton Benjamin (he allegedly made some remarks saying he'd "lighten his skin" while grappling in the ring) had issues with Flair as well. I'm probably the biggest Naitch fan here, but he's in all likelihood a racist piece of ****.
