From what I can gather, it was a move that happened literally once in a match between Jinsei Shinzaki and Misawa. Possibly this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedEagle Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Anyone ever bought wrestling tshirts off redbubble? They've got some fun looking ones for Kawada and wrestlers you can't find elsewhere, though obviously far from official. Curious as to the quality and sizing. Are these going to ruin the rest of my laundry or is it a decent shirt? Never bought off here or PWTees for that matter so don't know what to expect from such outlets.

Blehschmidt Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Can't tell you about Redbubble, but everything I've ever gotten from PWTees has been good quality. Once in a blue moon they will run a little on the small side, but otherwise they are quality shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 So I'm a little embarrassed to admit that until Bruce Mitchell had his little Twitter outburst about it I never made the connection that Keith Lee's finish was named the BBC. I was stuck on what a stupid name "Big Bang Catastrophe" is that my brain never took the next step to look at the initials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Wasn't it just the Catastrophe? Must have missed the Big Bang part. Also, I saw some episodes of "Home Game" on Netflix, and I gotta love how Edingwe, from the Congo pro wrestling episode, manages to have some scary shit with a low budget, while a billionaire company can't afford to have a convincing eye for the match they put together.

sek69 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Yeah that was kind of what caused the fuss on Twitter, Bruce's intentions were probably in the right place but he came off as an old dude whitesplaining to Keith Lee about what is racist. Like he obviously named the move himself and most likely did it to "take the piss" like the Brits say, he doesn't need to be lectured about it.

Or because he's an idiot. If some black dude would lecture him about it, Black Thought style, no one would bitch about it. That's called double standard. For instance, Awesome Kong did not *choose"* that racist name when she went to Japan. She was named that way in reference to Aja (who herself got a racist name because she was half-black), but she embraced it and made it het own. Keith Lee naming his finisher BBC in reference to a racist porn trope "may be" him taking a piss (why not), it may also him be a dumb fuck who thinks it's funny ah ah ah, like Russo would.

sek69 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 If Black Thought was the one who did it, it wouldn't be a double standard as much as a dude of the same race trying to point something out. "White person attempts to educate black person on race" is never going to go well no matter what because of the dynamics in play. Calling it a double standard is some "why can't white folks use the n-word" shit. When there's a disparity in power/privileged/etc, someone of the race that has the privilege should know when to STFU and that was one of those times. Plus there's no evidence Keith Lee is an idiot, if anything it's quite the contrary. I would wager it was probably done since it's the obvious joke considering he's a large black man and it's his way of beating people to the punch and making it first. To be fair we are talking about professional wrestlers so one cannot completely dismiss the possibility that someone is an idiot, it just doesn't seem to be the case here.
