Go to raw.wwe.com, then superstars, the star of the week is Renee Dupree. There's a pic of him on that page that has a sign in the background that reads "France sucks". If that was "USA sucks", that sign would have been confiscated, or air-brushed out, no doubt. Fucking hypocrites.

While I agree WWE is pro-American and it IS wrong, it's on sign out of eight-billion ant ten on his profile. If you havan't ever seen a Rocky Sucks, Angle Sucks or Shave your back sign in the backround of pictures of The Rock, Angle and A-Train respectily, then I'd agree, but you know that's not true.

There's a difference between "Rocky sucks" and "France sucks" though, Rocky sucks is a dig against the wrestler, which is fine, the latter is racist IMO (on grounds of being discriminant to another country).

There's plenty of images without "France sucks" signs in them, I don't see your problem.

Yet.. the signs are basically jibes at La Resistance (Which all the American stars say without the accent). Have you noticed "France sucks" signs BEFORE La Resistance arrived? No.

Do people do these signs to "aggrevate" the stars, so to speak..? Yes. Are they jibes at the stars, saying they suck? Yes.

It's not racism against France, it's saying France sucks because La Resistance's whole gimmick is America sucks, so it's basically a retaliation. Like when Angle used to get annoyed at people saying "What?", the crowd did it louder.

Stop analysing everything so closely. I'm actually enjoying the La Resistance thing, because they're actually doing something. The arrogant characters rock, too.

Do you know why people bring signs that say
France sucks?

Cause France does suck, and so do La Resistance.

Matt S.

Why do France suck? Because they didn't agree with the moronic view of Bush, a man with the IQ of a jelly bean?

Is it was a jibe at the stars, it should be "La Resistance suck", rather than France suck - and on one of the live shows recently, before the show started, someone brought out a French flag to draw heat from the crowd, it might have even been Smackdown.

Another problem I have is that if the sign read "USA sucks" or "America has no testicles", guarenteed that would have been confiscated.
