>>10816919>is fried chicken big in Ethiopia.That's the joke.
When that joke was first told all over national television by countless people in the 70s and 80s, Ethiopia was undergoing apocalyptic famine.
That famine led to the whole "We Are The World" angle, to LiveAids, etc.
"This man's so tough he could cross Ethiopia on a scooter with a bucket of fried chicken on his back unharmed" was used plenty of times to put a guy's strength over in wrestling.
But here's the problem.
The modern wrestling audience doesn't remember the Ethiopian famine.
The modern audience of anything doesn't remember the Ethiopian famine.
So when those fucking normies hear that old complimentary giggle, they're not thinking "not even starving people could maim him for his food".
They're thinking "what the fuck are you saying this guy can outrun homies mang fuck this racist shit talking shit bout the homies and fried chicken stereotypes imma cancel this shit on twitter".
Which is exactly what those retards did when Cornette put the guy over with that giggle.
Viewership at the time was easily 12-15k live concurrent viewers and 180k-200k within an hour after the show's over.
After Cornette left, it was down at 100k and descended ever since.
