How many Serious Black wrestlers are there in the WWE in 2016?

[jadillac]

But they're more open to change compared to Vince. Hunter and Steph would at least put the wwe belt on a black character just for the media coverage that would come with it

nah, Hunter might be but Steph is gonna do what she thinks Vince would do. Although I think Vince gave alot of Black wrestlers in the 80's/90's more shine that other feds.

You got a fair point, those dudes are geeks, its what they are. But R-Truth is a real brother from the south who'll tell cacs what he thinks.



His work in NWA-TNA and his WWE work is night and day. We know he can be a threat, get heat and light a fire under the product if he had the possible but he's been neutered. WWE would strongly prefer their black wrestlers to be castrated for the most part. No if ands or buts about it.

I remember when Lashley first came on the WWE scene. They marketed him as 'Hard hitting, soft spoken'. They had it on his titantron and all that.



Why the fukk would you market a big powerhouse like that as 'soft spoken'?

There's a need in the company to make black wrestlers safe to the audience. They dont want black men to be too much of a threat.

R-Truth so "real" in telling these cacs what he thinks, he MARRIED one. The same thing you guys say about these Black Women wrestlers.

I got nothing against R-Truth, but he's not a good example of what I want out of a Black champ.

Since we talking about Race Ima be real. As a black man I prefer my wrestlers white. Wrestling is some goofball shyt when u think about it and most dudes growing up in the hood ain't got time to worry about training doing flips and shyt.

Wrestling to me is some white boy shyt. I enjoy it for the spectacle and matches but it's a white culture thing that I like in my mind. It's one of the things they created and I don't care if the dominate wrestling how we dominate hip hop or whatever.

Big Muscle nikkas like Titus and Apollo would be of better use in the new black panthers or mentoring kids in ghettos. This is one I don't mind the white boys winning this ain't our habitat. U would think as naturally gifted as we r yeah, but wrestling is about American traditional values, from foreign heels to hulkkk hogan.

I don't care if a brother gets booked to win a fake belt, we dominate every real sport here is. Let the white boys have their wrestling man.

When the first Shelton push was in full effect in 2004, Vince McMahon actually did the Drew McEntyre thing with the Raw before Taboo Tuesday 2004 and endorsed him after he won his match. Besides the Rock, I dont recall Vince ever doing that for a Black talent.

I swear i remember Vince putting over Elijah Burke/D'Angelo Dinero as the future of ECW in a promo

 

[Neuromancer]

They just need to go ahead and throw money at Lethal while he's still in his prime

This would be great.

I dont think a person's dating history should play a part in this discussion male or female. The brother I quoted said wrestlers should be themselves and the new day were being themselves. I agreed with him, but I mentioned other black wrestlers on the WWE roster who's gimmick might not be reflective of their real life personalities and that those gimmicks are more reflective of WWE's parameters for black performers.

Its no secret that companies like TNA are more likely to let people show more of their personalities in their characters.

Thats cool and all..but one of the reasons why wrestling is some corny goofball white boy shyt in the first place is because the people who run the company wont allow blacks to leave their cultural imprint on the product. They insist that blacks exist on their corny terms.

This is true in general but especially true for black wrestlers; if WWE over regulates how they act and makes them a corny version of themselves, the product becomes less fun to watch anyway. So as fans we lose.

nikkas should start their own wrestling league then.

Honestly it ain't really no black wrestlers on the roster who ate main event material. idgaf about what yaw say, shelton ain't that nikka. Only black wrestlers in recent history who was possibly main event material was r-truth in 2011 or kofi in 09, they both got fukked over. Dirt sheets say McMahon still wants to give big e that push though.

You sound like 1 Taylor Swift song away from being a 100% cornball.

If that's what u got from me saying Wresting is some corny white boy shyt and black nikkas got bigger problems than fukking fake fighting.

I guess I need some Tailor On my IPod u prolly right. Thanks for the observation.

Mark Henry should been wwe champ like 2-3 years ago.

R-truth is way more talented than the wwe portrays him to be.

Big E has it in him, but his character kind of prevents him from being looked as legit. He would have to tweak his character to give it some edge.

If the miz can be wwe champ, big E should get a reign just off gp.

I agree with the OP tho.
