Current state of black wrestlers in WWE

[Breh Obama]

Most of the black wrestlers are depicted as either dancers or angry



Lets see...

New Day: the twerking is pure fakkitry. The crop tops is fakkitry. All that dancing and shucking and jiving.




Cedric Alexander: shucking and jiving

Rich Damn: shucking and jiving while militantly angry

Apollo Crews: shucking and jiving in the form of constant smiling

Alicia Fox: militantly angry and psychotic

Street Profits: self explanatory

What about Velveteen Dream

I think it’s a good discussion to have about the state of black wrestlers in the WWE. I know we do this often here but it’s always relevant considering our demographics

But the inflammatory thread title is doing OP no favors

Swann is ultra talented but dancing way too much. Big E is entertaining...That's cool. But I pointed this out recently...Blandy, Cena, and Elias are types outsmarting and looking good in confrontations while Cedric gets owned by Cass jobber Enzo. Finn can fight off Joe by himself...but Titus gets his ass whooped in seconds Vince and Stephanie really selling pretty boy easy living white boys as tough and dangerous...Lol!!!

This is the largest and most diverse group of black wrestlers Iv ever seen since Iv been watching, the hell u taking about op? Jordan , crews, Cedric, new day , swan , banks , Titus, foxx, Shelton, even velveteen dream and lio rush. remember when it was just rock and booker? Beside the exception of new day I wouldn't consider any of them c00ns. And even the new day are pretty much doing what they want to at this point. Cryme type was c00ning, along with the funkasaurus and Sheltons mama. If lashley would come back we'd have a top guy too

This. If Titus was white, he would have already been a three time WWE champion. He encompasses everything Vince wants in top guy except the "right" complexion.

I wouldn't have as much of a problem overall if they created well rounded characters for their Black wrestlers. Even Sasha's a stereotype...I do dig the look and a few of the mannerisms, but her throwing out the word "ratchet" and acting hood rat lite doesn't help WWE's cause. Can't have a Black wrestler that's an apex predator or a blue collar everyman?

Titus was the only black wrestler tweeting about police brutality and black lives matter, all the rest forgot they had social media until the gay nightclub got shyt up

Smh at you nikkas that stan vd.

If they ain't biracial or mixed vince is making you dance.

The issue is not wrestling but in film and tv. nikkas are the token side character.

Can't blame Vince for just running with it.
