La fameuse gifle qu’a donnée l’acteur Will Smith à l’humoriste Chris Rock, lors de la cérémonie des Oscars dimanche, a suscité un nombre incalculable de commentaires à travers le monde.
Bien des gens se demandent si c’est un incident réel ou “arrangé”.
De là à faire un parallèle avec le monde de la lutte… Ce que l’ex-scripteur à la WWE, à la WCW et à TNA Vince Russo a fait.
Sur le podcast Legion of RAW de Sportskeeda, Russo a affirmé que cette altercation entre Smith et Rock est bel et bien réelle, et non un “stunt” publicitaire scripté.
Russo est d’ailleurs surpris de constater le haut degré de scepticisme, surtout chez les fans de lutte qui ont l’habitude de voir des “works”.
Il fait valoir que Will Smith n’a aucun avantage à avoir monté une histoire avec Chris Rock, et c’est la même chose pour Chris Rock. Smith était vraiment selon lui troublé après sa gifle, comme on pouvait le percevoir dans son discours de victoire, plus tard dans la soirée.
“You know what cracks me up? For all the hours and hours people spent watching wrestling, they still can’t determine a work from a shoot, including our boy Riju. Bro, people that think the Will Smith/Chris Rock gimmick was a work, bro, what is wrong with you? Let me just put it to you in simple terms. How does that benefit Will Smith being a work? Can somebody explain that to me? The guy went out there today, had to apologize, apologized to Chris Rock, felt really badly, was shedding tears, was totally embarrassed. You could see it through his Oscar Acceptance speech. How could anybody think that was a work? What was there to gain?”
“Guys, when you start talking work, shoot, you have to ask yourself – if it was a work, what is there to gain? What was there to gain for either one of these parties if this were a work. What? People are going to be talking about them? Chris Rock and Will Smith need people talking about them, bro? It blows my mind, Chris, that people don’t know what’s real and what’s fake. It’s unbelievable to me.”
