They're two quotes that really irritated me. I think Kenzo was probably booed due to the fans knowing who he is (sorta). Plus he didn't look like a happy chappy, so thats immediately a negative reaction.

Yeah. WWE really showed their asses with the treatment of La Resistance. Hating them because they're French and disagree with the U.S.? France really never did anything awful to the U.S. That's just pedantic (and yes, I know I'm talking about a sport of sorts where guys taunt other guys about defecation and other things like that)....shouldn't be on the show.
If they want to do something like that, just make up an Osama Bin Laden-style heel....at least then that'll make more sense than to pick on the French.
Bad enough we're being polarized in real life... don't do it in fantasy, either.
