I recently read on wrestlezone.com that some sort of radio station was trying to petition WWE's new Cryme Tyme storyline, calling it racist and bringing up past events such as the Muhammed Hassan controversy, pretty much calling the WWE racist as a whole.
Personally i dont see it
does anyone think "Cryme Tyme" is racist on WWE's part?
Note: the article was taken down about 2 hours later. Weird

this is complete shit. just because two black wrestlers are involved in this gimmick people decide to call this racist. if two white wrestlers were "cryme tyme", no one would blow any whistles over it. it's hypocritical

im glad to see it. it's about time the WWE portrayed the "hood" lifestyle.
And as thin as the line is sometimes between humor and racism, i don't think its been crossed here.

As much as a fan as I am of John Cena, I think that if Cena wins on Sunday, Cryme Tyme will portray as bad guys to take John Cena off the map, and try to boost Cena's popularity back up? Maybe, just something I was thinking about. but far as racism, like he said, what shows these days don't have racist stereotypes?

lol Racist, its only another stereotype that WWE is using and basically if anyone else had to bring in two Black guys id love to see what gimmick they would give them, this gimmick allows them to connect with Fans and is doing no harm IMO.
Love You Ange

Race, Why does everything have to do with race why can't people just sit back and enjoy something without causeing trouble. I think that these 2 guys seem to be pretty cool and can't wait to see what they can do.
