Can Big E be re-packaged as a Lesnar type beast?

[mrken12]

That torch needs to be passed!

Why was he let go so quickly?

 

[AquaCityBoy]

No, and he shouldn't be. We've seen his Instagram vids. The guy's fukking hilarious. Why can't he just be a snarky big dude who can fight and crack jokes? That would work either face or heel.

 

[DocZulu]

Because there is a pattern.

Hulking, less athletic, Black can be marketed as a beast before he's transitioned into into another racial type.

The athletic Black wrestlers expose those areas of the White roster that are over pushed--they become spot-makers, and then, soon thereafter, they are brought out of relevance & reduced to Vince's racial type.

Once they turned Kofi into Vince's vision of a Black man, I no longer wanted to see him. And, thus, it legitimates Vince's decision that no Black man, including Kofi, could every carry the belt.

Real Talk: this is why the Rock worked for Vince.

The Rock's character does not identify as a Black man. He is portrayed as someone that permits White audience members to pretend that he's just like them.

I still wonder how Bobby Lashey got that push while Booker and the others didnt.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Yes? No? Why not?

fukk no. Its over for that nikka. Its been over since "Raw Goes Country" and they changed my nikka theme song. Now they got em shuckin and jiving like a mothafukka with bum ass Kofi and Consequences Creed Any hope for him is bushes status and its a damn shame.

he'd have to beat the hell outta kofi and woods 1st.

2ndly be booked to just run into people's matches and destroy them [just like Lesnar debut]

and he'd need a manager

Yes, but he won't

It's possible. He could easily become a monster in the mold of Rusev or Brock. He would definitely need someone talking for him though. Dude is too much of an effeminate goofball.

he doesnt need to be a no personality monster... but he can be rebuilt to be a legitimate big guy with swag...

first thing they have to do tho... is get him some fkin tights that cover up his thighs... nikka looks naked out there

That torch needs to be passed!

They had potential too. He could have been repackaged like Taz but that New Day bullshyt killed it

Big E, Mark Henry and Ryback all should have been Lesnar levels of big guy wrestlers... but Vine thought otherwise

They should just make the New Day militants that take no shyt like they teased last year

Yes, but will his melanin allow it?

Throw a suit on him , shades and rock a ceasar.

god damn 6 second matches

He probably could, but puts the kibosh on any potential push. Once he lost the IC title, it was over with.

I still remember when him and Sheamus had that staredown in his Team Rocket days.

Such a wasted opportunity.

He's a big man with personality, they won't let him shine though.

Fixed

It's over for Kofi and Xavier, but I still have some faith that Big E might get a chance to shine. He's an athletic and strong big man with a good look. Those guys are always one opportunity away from striking it big in the WWE.

It's ridiculous that Big E and Rusev are basically the same guy and one of them is facing the poster boy at Mania and the other one is a clapping buffoon.

"What's that, you say? Son Of Kamala?? SOLD!" - :cokeboycism:

I don't think package anyone as a Lesnar type beast since he's so authentic and that's his thing

But you can package him again as a beast type heel who's squashing faces for sure who has an intimidation factor. Even if he aint big as those other dudes.

Problem is I wonder how much stigmata off the new day gimmick he needs to get off

Look how long it took them to make Mark Henry like that with a title and then just throw it all away.

I still wonder how Bobby Lashey got that push while Booker and the others didnt.

Done right, this gimmick could them really over as heels, given the current state of affairs in the USA and what the WWE general audience is like.

It would never happen though.

thing is he's legitimate funny, his ig vids were hilarious. then all of a sudden they stopped

WWE has a vision for Black wrestlers, and that prototype ensures that they are even less charismatic than Roman Reigns.

That limited perception sabotages the most worthy Black wrestlers because they become spot makers in a match to prop up over-valued White wrestlers.

Look how quickly they undermined Mark Henry's push when he started to make a run as a monster heel.

In fact, Bobby Lashley had a better run than Kofi and R-Truth.

Big E is probably done. He has already been compartmentalized as one of Vince's racial-types.

That's a superficial evaluation of those two guys. Rusev conveys a natural and convincing "badass" demeanour and aggressiveness in his performance that I've never seen from Big E, as physically impressive as he is.

I don't think Big E has the personality type to be a Lesnar-esque beast. He can be a beast athletically, but him trying to portray himself as a brute "monster" seems to me like it would come off as fake, because it's not close to his real persona.

Don't worry. After Cena's done with Rusev, he'll be on the same level as Big E.

Rather crazy when you consider at one point, Vince supposedly wanted to make him the cornerstone of the company.
I find that hard to believe for....obvious reasons, though .

[Pesci]

Not like Brock, because he can't move like that, but they could be doing way more with him. That New Day stable fukking sucks.

 

[Tuneday]

For sure. Needs to find a new Destination though...

 

[Leonard Washington]

Let him become a suplex machine ala Taz and beat the shyt out of folks while clowning about it

 

[Adebisi_Said]

They'll start by bleaching his skin.
