Originally I had intended on this post being a part of the post I had made about how Wrestlemania basically sold out as hard as a NASCAR event with how many sponsorships they\u2019ve piled into the production of their grandest event of the year™, but I felt that it had some legs of its own and I had lots of jokes and puns that I thought were the best things ever, cementing my obvious status as the dad who makes dad jokes that are only hilarious to myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the numerous sponsors that the WWE allowed to dump money into \u2018Mania this year, this particular one stood out leaps and bounds above the others for me, one because of just how uncomfortably white-wing<\/strong> it comes off, but also finding out that they\u2019ve basically bought Cody Rhodes and plastered their branding all over his American Nightmare™ bus, but we\u2019ll circle back to that part later in the post.<\/span><\/p>\n

On purpose, I\u2019m not going to use mention their name because fuck them for being some creepy dog whistle white-wing racist undertone company, but as if that doesn\u2019t set the stage enough, that\u2019s basically the gist of what their commercial and branding seems to exude.<\/span><\/p>\n

It starts with a catch-phrase that does rhyme but doesn\u2019t necessarily roll off the tongue so easily, and I want to play the Stewie Griffin game with their name, because of the \u201cwh\u201d in it, and that serves to ramp up the difficulty in saying their name or mocking their jingle.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as the commercial continues to unfold, it\u2019s as if they\u2019re continuously doubling and tripling down on their pride of being whiter than, well, a right-wing gathering, because as the scenes change to larger and larger groups of what appears to be solely white people, it\u2019s apparent that this is a company that really gives no flying fucks about DEI and they want viewers to know that.<\/span><\/p>\n

They even have a ridiculous line where they ponder why Moscow gets the mule, and while looking up the YouTube video to take a screen grab from, they\u2019ve already posted a recipe for \u201cAmerican Mule\u201d which is basically the exact same thing as a Moscow Mule except not Russian; which in itself is laughable considering so many orange guy disciples love Russia as much as he does.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the commercial ends, only one word or phrase popped into my head: MAGAlcohol<\/strong>, because that\u2019s precisely what the fuck this shit actually is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not much of a vodka drinker, other than the sparse times where I like a cranberry vodka, but I kind of feel bad for the spirit itself.\u00a0 MAGAlcohol makes me not want to have any vodka in general, because it\u2019s murdering the entire category for me as if it were a white cop pressing his knee on a defenseless black man\u2019s neck on asphalt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting back to Cody Rhodes, I was abhorred when footage of him arriving to the Linc was shown, and Corey Graves was being a good soldier, by not failing to mention that his entire bus was also co-sponsored by MAGAlcohol, and I could feel my eyes widen at the disgusting sight of it.\u00a0 Just when I was beginning to soften my stance on Cody Rhodes, and beginning to turn face on my opinion of him, he has to go and associate with MAGAlcohol, and I\u2019m pumping the brakes at how much I want to support him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In some regards, I get it, he\u2019s the American Nightmare<\/em>, his ring attire is basically a Homelander from The Boys<\/a> skin, and he\u2019s a white guy from Georgia.\u00a0 There\u2019s few guys at his stature in the business that would be as worth co-sponsoring as Cody Rhodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he\u2019s also a pretty sensible, intelligent human being, from what I can surmise from interviews and the way he conducts himself in and out of the business.\u00a0 I would\u2019ve assumed that he would\u2019ve been a little more cerebral than to associate himself with a company that clearly has no hidden agenda on whom they want their demographic to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and his wife is also black.\u00a0 I know that Brandi Runnels seems to be as white-washed as perhaps I am, but when push comes to shove, white folks wouldn\u2019t hesitate to throw her under the bus if there was an incident that needed a minority scapegoat and she was within eyesight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it was out of his control, and it was the bigwigs at the E that forced it onto him.\u00a0 But I would\u2019ve also figured Cody, by now, and at his position within the company, would have the ability to veto this if he really wanted to.\u00a0 But as so many legends in the business have so often said, the business is all about as making as much money as you can, because there will come a day when you can do it anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not that I think Cody was starving before his associate with MAGAlcohol, but accepting more money when you\u2019re already rich is among the whitest things a white guy can do, so unfortunately, as much as The Story has been compelling, there is a little turd in the celebratory punch bowl, that most definitely does not make it go down so sweetly.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
