The thread where we get CyNick to defend maligned storylines, and tell us how we don't understand...

At least if they avoided the race angle and Booker just put up a good fight in defeat, it wouldn't have felt insulting. What's worse is Triple H went on record and said that people mistinterpreted the Booker T angle. "You people" was meant to be a slight on WCW alumni. Suuuuuuuure.

This. I feel like Booker should have gone over because of the storytelling, not because of who he is. Booker is fine to me, but I'm not mark for a babyface going over or for him specifically. Shitty storytelling. When the video packages and vignettes are him overcoming the odds, doing something with his life, etc, and then....clean loss. And no follow up. Its like "uh. ok."
