Brothas can we talk?

Simple fact is this is a business. And a for profit business is going to cater to its audience, which has historically been cacs. Until we support in huge numbers the will continue to ignore us as far as having a black man as the face. Latinos was watching SD heavy in the 2000s and they got Eddie, Rey, etc.

It's athletics, and theater, and in both of those you can absolutely get black people over as antagonists and protagonists, and have since the beginning of both.

MVP definitely!

Son was over, was good in the ring.
Ion even know why they released him!?

IIRC he asked for release because he was getting absolutely buried.

True. But its so few in the business just like the audience. So the room for error is so high. The only two guys I could see being WC material was Ahmed and Bobby. Both flamed out(or in Bobby case just left)

THAT YOUNG BLOOD HORACE HOGAN SHOULD HAVE HAD A RUN WITH THE STRAP, BROTHER!

Titus is never ever worth discussing. Him and that gay nikka fukking suck, lol.

Titus gets huge pops in person. Could have been a legit character as the crowd already responds to him but they jobbed him out too much.

But there it is

Why are shelton and mvp not on the orton and edge level... Its because they were programmed as such...

Great thread.

@Ed MOTHERfukkING G a definite first-ballot Threadstarter Hall of Famer.

Thread title sounded serious though.

What do y'all think of Apollo crews? personally I think the raw athleticism is there but the promos not yet

He has shown no character to date. Personally, i need to see it.

Promos definitely aren't there. Some of that shyt was so bad I don't know if he'll ever get there. He does amazing things in the ring but he's floundering like Neville before the heel turn. He either needs to go on a winning streak killing dudes in seconds or add something to his persona to make him stand out.

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

Yea Shelton and MVP should've been on edge, benoit, guerrero levels.
