AEW Spanish commentator Willie Urbina might end up in hot water after he was caught making fun of Hikaru Shida’s Asian accent during a commercial break on the Dynamite broadcast on FITE TV.
The mics were left on for everyone on the broadcast by mistake and Urbina was doing the show with Alex Abrahantes, Thunder Rosa, and Dasha Kuret. During the break, Abrahantes asked Urbina to translate Shida’s promo. Urbina then started speaking like an Asian and in the process making fun of Shida and her accent.
Both Rosa and Kuret told him to stop, with Kuret being more serious about the situation.
Los comentaristas en español de @AEW se han burlado del acento japonés de @shidahikaru durante la pausa publicitaria previa a su segmento en #AEWDynamite.
Esto es inaceptable @TonyKhan.
Por favor, haced RT para que lo vea la gente. pic.twitter.com/K6TYCZJwLY
