WWE issued a statement to The Washington Post late last night, responding to Jinder Mahal’s promo on WWE SmackDown Live this week, where fans chanted “That’s Too Far” at one point during the promo when Mahal mocked Shinsuke Nakamura’s accent and compared him to Mr. Miyagi.
“Just like many other TV shows or movies, WWE creates programming with fictional personalities that incorporates real world issues and sensitive subjects. As a producer of such TV shows, WWE Corporate is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.”
