The New Day can talk, put on great matches, over with the crowd etc.

But yet none of them have gotten a wwe title run or a title shot :mjpls: I wonder what their excuse is for that

Exactly, Big E is even jacked the way Vince likes his champs. I can't wait to see the excuses the Wreddit/WF types make up when WWE puts a glass ceiling on Montez Ford.

Bruh is 6'1, has charisma, is decent in the ring, and is a homegrown product.

Funnily enough he would give a similar answer about MVP never getting the title. Only a tweaked version. "Charismatic character but..." Ask him about Lashley "Well he had all the tools but..." ask him about Big E "Crowd loves him but..." Kofi "Loyal standby, athletic guy but..."

It'll always be some excuse.

While at the same time having nothing to say about Jack Swagger or that time Sheamus won the belt in 2009. Dude went from feuding with Goldust to a random title win against Cena. Why? Because that's who they wanted to go with. They choose who they want to win the belt. That's no hate against Sheamus he's improved a lot but back then I was :dry: about that title win.

None of those 'standards' matter when it's the guy they want in that spot. Booker-T vs. HHH already told the story years ago. Another reason why "All you have to do is work hard" is BS if the people on top (or in charge of the company) actively stop you from getting to a certain level.

They just didn't want to put the belt on him. As simple as that. That's on them. They can work around any weaknesses anyone on the roster may have if they want to.

Yup. It's really hard to argue against ANY above average wrestler not getting a title run in the last 10 years when we've seen a good number of average wrestlers get that kind of opportunity.

Meanwhile Cena,Edge,Orton & HHH have a combined 54 World Championship title reigns. 35 if you don't count the big gold belt:dead:

This is the same company that:

- Sabotaged Ultimo Dragon's run because he wasn't a flippy shyt cruiserweight and even muted the crowd mics when he came out out of spite.

- Bent over backwards for a guy that shows up 4 times a year from paying him an absurd amount of cash per appearance (I do respect Brock's hustle on that one) and making him immune to punishment for failed drug tests.

- Made the Randy Orton Rule to prevent him from getting fired after his 3rd strike, then allowing one of his strikes to fall off after a period of time after he fukked up again.

- Actively Sabotaged Rey's run at the top with that Eddiesplotation shyt in addition to Vince burying the fukk out of him by not calling the title the World Heavyweight Title while he was champion and generally making him the champion version of "Happy to Be Here, Boss", and tried to allow Albreto Del Rio to take his spot as their top latino draw (and had it backfire horrendously)

- Actively Sabotaged Punk's entire run at the top from 2011- onward by having him opening/midcarding PPVs and Shows as World Champion, shorting him on Merch and merch sales while Cena had like 100+ items in shop at the time

- (Allegedly) tried burying Daniel Bryan's and stopping his run before it began, and may or may not be holding him hostage on being able to compete in the ring (depending on how you see this scenario with Paige and them allowing Tommy Dreamer to wrestle, and if you take his comments on being cleared beyond face value)

If Cokeboy don't want to put you in a position to succeed? Then you will be fukked with thoroughly and severely.

Shelton is dope in ring. But he intercontinental level. Just don’t have it. A lot of whiteys get passes. But that’s everywhere.

End of the day, we dominate any real sport we enter. This is one that they can control. They not having that shyt happen here too.

Jason Jordan will be champ tho. By the end of this year. So enjoy that.

Jesus Christ calm the fukk down it's not real :heh::dead:

it's not about what is real it's about people being held back due to obvious bias and likely racial bias

ironically if this was a real sport there would probably be more black champs than white champs in it's history
