    I still find it hilarious that about 15 years ago, the WWE introduced a new wrestling character. His name was “Abraham Washington”. A name that, yes, it is a combination of exactly the two names you think it is. So who did they get to play the role of Aberaham Washington? A black guy. He played the role of a TV talk show host, who legitimately got fired, and this is true, for going off script and saying “Titus O’Neil (A wrestler) is like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado - HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” which referenced some 2003 legal issues Kobe had involving a sexual assault case.

    Abraham Washington everybody!
