WWE books another show with race-baiting comic Tony Hinchcliffe for WM42 weekend

If you were looking for an excuse to skip Wrestlemania again this year, WWE is helping you out, with the announcement today that the company is bringing back race-baiting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe to host something being billed as “Kill Tony: Wrestlemania” as part of its WM42 schedule.

To be fair, the lackluster card is reason enough to not go through the gymnastics of signing up for the ESPN app to be able to watch 10-minute ring entrances, endless commercials and the one good match they have booked.

But them having Hinchcliffe back for another roast, man.

If you’ve not heard of Tony Hinchcliffe, lucky you – the rest of us remember him for his set at Donald Trump’s Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden a week before the 2024 election, lowlighted by Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” because of course that kind of thing is hilarious to disaffected White males.

There was also the one about how Latinos “love making babies”:

“There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.”

And then another one in which he pointed to a Black man in the audience, said the man was one of his “buddies,” and talked about a fictional Halloween party where they’d “carved watermelons” together.

This is the level of humor you get with this small-dicked White bread.

According to the wrestling-data website Wrestlenomics, the WWE audience is roughly 25 percent Black and 12 percent Latino; WWE claims that these numbers are the highest percentage of non-White fans of any U.S.-based sport.

But the other 63 percent are White incels, and WWE and parent company TKO need to keep them happy in their parents’ basements between Night 1 and Night 2 of ’Mania.

Hinchcliffe, defending himself after his race-baiting set at the Trump Nazi rally, dismissed his critics as “having no sense of humor.”

Alternative view: maybe we do, and we understand that jokes about Black guys carving watermelons, immigrants having sex and a Latino country being a floating island of garbage are juvenile, in addition to being racist and xenophobic.

Anyway, this is who WWE booked to host its comedy roast last year, and decided that his racism brand was important enough for them to get adequate market saturation that they brought him back.
