The Ghost of bps21 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 * Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas defended the tag team titles against the APA, after Haas pinned Bradshaw following a belt shot to the head (anyone else seeing a booking pattern here?). *** A very odd moment followed the pinfall, as Benjamin and Haas attacked the APA after the bell. Benjamin grabbed the house mic and shouted at Bradshaw, "Am I your n***er now, bitch?" and struck Bradshaw in the head with the mic. The crowd seemed taken aback and a bit confused. Bradshaw cut his usual "Shaniqua in drag" promo on Benjamin before the match, but he did not even remotely make reference to the n-word ---observer site
Guest Nanks Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Riiiiight. That is weird. God I hope that was a test-run for doing it on TV and they take the crowd reaction and realise it's a really dumb line.
the pinjockey Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Prediction: Bradshaw hazing joke in three posts. And is the Shaniqua in drag crap a bigger dig at Benjamin or a dig at Shaniqua?
Papacita Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Part of me wants to think that there were some shenanigans between those two backstage...but I can't see Vince and co allowing them to resolve it in the ring... I dunno, that's weird as hell.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 I just assume Benjamin got carried away and was in the moment. But it's still weird
Ced Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Most likely a spare of the moment deal where the the adrenaline's pumping a bit too much. Sometimes your control of swearing falters. Ask Booker T.
Big McLargeHuge Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Part of me wants to think that there were some shenanigans between those two backstage... This is what I'm thinking.
the pinjockey Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 If anything happened backstage that would make Benjamin go off on Bradshaw like that, it is really time to fire Bradshaw. I don't care if he is the locker room enforcer, which is bullshit BTW. Get a future ME pissed at the business or keep around a bully who never has done anything more than tag team matches and drink? Tough choice.
Papacita Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 I doubt that's the case though. We'd hear about a backstage brawl between the two before something like this. I don't believe it was just Shelton getting a little worked up either. Maybe Bradshaw was talking shit in the ring and went a little too far...? I give up. This is crazy.
Guest JMA Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Layfield won't be fired. For some reason, the WWE likes big, stupid, pro-American rednecks.
Lil' Bitch Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Something tells me Theodore Long is involved in this somehow.
Guest AndrewisyourHero Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Something tells me Theodore Long is involved in this somehow. You're an idiot
NoCalMike Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Part that strikes me is that he picked up a mic to say it, rather then just yell it at Bradshaw so the crowd couldn't hear it.
Guest Trivia247 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 heh I could Imagine Bradshaw slipped up during the match when combatants speak each other to set up spots. maybe Shelton did something too stiff or too sloppy and Bradshaw scolded him and said some shit he shouldn't have.
Guest Bobby Cox is God Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 What is it with the WWE and rednecks? I mean Austin was a fucking monster then he became a redneck, JR is a redneck, Bradshaw is a gay redneck.....what next? Trips thinks he's Kenny Rogers? Anything can happen in the WWE!
Guest Trivia247 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 What is it with the WWE and rednecks? I mean Austin was a fucking monster then he became a redneck, JR is a redneck, Bradshaw is a gay redneck.....what next? Trips thinks he's Kenny Rogers? Anything can happen in the WWE! really just need someone to come up with a Col. Sanders gimmick. and instant endorsement from KFC
Guest Bobby Cox is God Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Knowing Vince, if they did a fried chicken gimmick the guy would HAVE to be black. *thinks of jive soul bro*
Guest TheArchiteck Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Wow, Wonder whats the story with that.
AndrewTS Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 What is it with the WWE and rednecks? I mean Austin was a fucking monster then he became a redneck, JR is a redneck, Bradshaw is a gay redneck.....what next? Trips thinks he's Kenny Rogers? Anything can happen in the WWE! really just need someone to come up with a Col. Sanders gimmick. and instant endorsement from KFC Mike Sanders' new gimmick. Team him with Roadkill.
LooseCannon25 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 The ironic thing about this all is that Bradshaws current tag partner was once the leader of a "black power" faction.......hey wait a minute, do you guys think.........nah
AndrewTS Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 At least Shelton didn't say he was "gonna get in yer BUTT, Bradshaw, it won't take long..." Then Bradshaw would argue with him over who'd be the bitch.
clean rob Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 I'm with NoCalMike, if Benjamin was REALLY that heated up about some shit that Bradshaw had pulled backstage, he would have: a) hit him with something STIFF at the end of the match. and b) NOT picked up a mic to yell his piece of mind at him in front of a live audience. Assuming, of course, he values his job. Smells like a work to me, or maybe a part of some rib or something...maybe it'll become clearer next SD!
Guest MrPhil28 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Seeing as how one of Bradshaw's best friends is Ron Simmons, I doubt he's a racist.
