Someone's going to come in here and bitch about it, let's not lose perspective of this: He's finally going to get the chance he's always deserved.

Either the page has problems or it got taken down pretty fast.

What are the odds that if Rey and Sin Cara weren't around, he'd have been allowed to debut with the mask and all?

None. He's a joke that you and I get, but the media, TMZ, and Huff Post would probably label him as racist. Of course that would be them not putting any research into what the character is really about.

I think they could have made a new mask for him and gave him a new gimmick and it would have been fine. Wouldn't have been El Generico, but it would have avoided "WHY IS THAT WHITE BOY SAYING HE'S MEXICAN GOD HOW INSENSITIVE CAN YOU BE"

Chewey, I doubt that. Unless it involves lampooning a political high roller or makes light of a national tragedy, most media - even the socially motivated fringe media - ignores wrestling. I don't recall the Mexicools generating a single peep from the media, and they were outright Latino stereotypes. And that's one of any number of far more obvious examples.

The Mexicools weren't done on the heels of the Zeb Coulter/Jack Swagger thing, which DID catch the eye of the media.
