I know I'm a little late posting these, a lot were dark thanks to that horrible blue and red lighting on the crowd so I've had to tinker with them a bit.



I don't mind if you want to save any of them, just don't distribute them or pass them off as your own, ta :)












Is it just me that thinks this looks kinda rude :D ??

Yeah, the fangirl thing is totally OK with me, but I can tell a fangirl (and fangirl ONLY) that this & that was a "DQ" and they'll look at me like I'm speaking Chinese, and just pause for a couple minutes, and say, "uh... no. I don't think so. It's not as black & white of an issue as you make it out to be to seem all intelligent, but then I say "Um, it IS quite black & white when someone gets punched below the belt. YES! THAT IS A DQ!" After it's over I get asked, "What's a DQ?" And I feel like poking their eyes out with forks!

As for Goldust being funny I do think so, because when he was Aksana's pro on NXT, she kept shouting "USA!" in Manchester, and he says to her, "Obviously, you're dumber than you look because you don't even know when WE'RE IN ENGLAND, YOU DOLT!" I thought it was funny because I'm majorly Lithuanian. And people think, based on this dummy's (storyline dummy's) act that all Lithuanian women are stupid. All Lithuanian men are drunks. All Polish people are stupid. All Irish men are drunks. You know, just stereotypes. Shit I'd never believe. And when Aksana was w/ Goldust on RAW, Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler were making all these stupid comments like: "I don't know what Lithuanian sounds like. They probably just squak and make clicks like dolphins." Or well, and this pissed me off so much... "Because they're so close to Germany they probably still say 'Sig Heil! because they all live in caves and are so behind in time." I WAS BEYOND TICKED OFF! It's not like Lithuania is an underdeveloped country. Medically, a bit in comparison to America, just from what my mother said. I've been once, but people do not live in caves, don't say anything pro-Nazi, and aren't like a 3rd world country. My cousins love metal & we mosh to metallica anytime they come by, all surprised how obsessed I am. It's not like they're shocked to see a McDonald's or anything. I just hate the way they made her "character" stupid. My fiance looked over @ me & said "I'm glad I got one of the smart ones; but seriously, those comments are WAY too insensitive".

BTW, Aksana isn't a Lithuanian name. Her real name is my middle name meaning Kristina/Christine.

I laugh at how many of the fangirls only ever judge the WWE on who is or isn't on the show. To be fair I'd be well gutted if Cena was actually fired/left - I cried like a bitch when Shawn left and I also miss Trips like crazy - but I still watch it. I'd get over it eventually but in the meantime I'd still watch.

I think the difference comes with people in the fandom that watch other feds too. I *love* PWG - it's the funniest shit ever but people like Kenny Omega, Danielson, Cabana, Evans and others are sometimes funny, somtimes cute but always talented. I bet if I asked everyone I know on here or twitter that not even half of them would even know what PWG is or have ever seen it and that's kinda sad.

And as for Aksana, well, to be honest its no better being English. Like when Wade was on NXT and coming out in coats with huge roses on. Regal drinking proper tea out of china cups. Santino dressed like a City banker again with the tea and cakes. And I'm also half Irish so the complete stereotypes that Sheamus and Finlay have become just make me want to kick the telly in.

WWE is bad at fair representations of anything and the cultural and ethnic stereotyping is appalling yet guaranteed to continue!

I am Irish & Scottish as well so hearing shit about Drew or Sheamus pisses me off most. I really like Cena, but that one comment about Sheamus being "a giant jar of mayo", it brought down ALL THIS BULLSHIT on him and being part Irish & Scottish, I get so furious. And I'm very pale like Sheamus (which is why my tattoos stay new-looking so long), so I found this comraderie with Sheamus, IMMEDIATELY. And I lost a little respect for Cena, I must say. My fiance said, "Oh but he's such a nice guy!" Yeah, so? Cena & R-Truth are friends, right? I also think that once Cena made a joke outta Sheamus that way, R-Truth probably laughed, and there you have it. Reverse racism. I may be taking it a lil' too far, but is it funny if I'd call Kofi or 'Truth a "coon" or made up a joke about them being like chocolate syrup. I'm sure it'd be ok if I was black, but I'm not.

It's kinda like people assume white people deserve more racial jokes or something.
