AEW Commentator Appears To Mock Hikaru Shida’s Japanese Accent (VIDEO)

A video has emerged from last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, showing Spanish commentator Willie Urbina seemingly mocking Hikaru Shida’s Japanese accent.

The clip has come from the Spanish broadcast of AEW Dynamite on FITE. It seems like the commentators incorrectly thought that their mics were turned off during the commercial breaks.

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

David Bixenspan has provided a translation of what went down, noting that after Willie Urbina was told to translate Hikaru Shida’s promo for the Spanish audience, the commentator appears to mock Shida’s Japanese accent.
