nemoz_wrx :

everyone who was offended wasn't even Hispanic

David Serafin-Chavez :

Heard super crazy stared his own landscaping business after his release from WWE

MC :

I thought it was cool and I'm Hispanic

mike :

Imagine were there careers would of been by now.

Knarf_King :

What's racist about this? If anything, it celebrates Latinx culture and hertiage.

Trillionaire Teddie :

Ngl this isn’t even top 100 most racist gimmicks from wwe

Chris J.Sikoam :

What's ironic is that this gimmick was super popular at the time with the Latino community. I remember that they were super celebrated for quite some time. People actually got mad when they took it away. Latinos don't get offended as easily as Americans do. I will never understand why they get offended for us. Just don't disrespect the flag or their beliefs and everything else is free game bro.

Fake News,WWE had the highest ratings in Sports Entertainment. WWE was the most watched show on TELEVISION

Gus Salto :

I'm Mexican and wasn't even offended.

Joey Baca :

Their theme was fire though. Chavo's gimmick..now that was bad 😭

That was a waste of talent. You took three high flyers and turn them into that ,it was just as bad as as what they did to Chavo ,👁️you had some of the best high flying , this would’ve been a perfect time to make the cruise weight division legendary but instead
