Peep game: Jim Ross had no problem with Kofi being a joke but NOW?

[Slic Ric]

In the WWE? When and where? I dont recall any slick Booker, Shelton, or Lashley talk.

tbf, those guys are like THE CREAM OF THE CROP cant miss talents and have the LOOK so its easy to push them in any way shape or form, remember JR was head booker for a while, its a big part of the reason Kofi is the first black WWE title champ

I've also heard from rumors that JR actually is a dikk

If Jim Ross had the book, Shelton would of been champion.

Jim Ross has been out of touch for almost 10 years now.

JYD never won the belt in the company he had the most influence

I know we all riding for Kofi but I don't think we have to attack every slight piece of constructive criticism he receives. SHOULD Kofi be wearing unicorn horns, twerking...throwing pancakes, & doing the same thing he's been doing for the past 5 years? Alot of us don't like WWE's history of portraying black wrestlers as 1 dimensional, dancing, smiling, and carefree characters. But now its different? Ya'll quick to criticize JR...but maybe...just maybe... he knows a little something about the wrestling business. He's only been involved in it for about 45 years. More importantly...maybe he knows first hand what Vince Mcmahon looks for in a talent. JR's worn alot of hats...He's seen alot of people come and go...he's crossed paths with a shyt ton of champions and seen alot of people not live up to their potential. And JR has his own platform that people tune in to to listen to him voice his opinion. Yeah...he could be slightly outta touch with the current wrestling fans...but he knows the business has evolved...and is constantly evolving. And he knows wrestlers too should always be constantly evolving their characters. Kofi's got more at stake now...he should be turnin up. He's public enemy #1...he should be more serious a times. He's got alot of competition... he should be doing different things to stand out. He should be acting like the top guy of the company in his own way.

I have no idea how Ross sees K
JYD but he marked out for Benjamin so many times in 2004-2006, I've lost count.

It's obvious Kofi is keeping the title warm for Roman.

If anyone beats Kofi it'll be a heel. I don't think Roman flirts with the Main Event scene until at least the Rumble at the earliest.

I meant at the moment. Roman getting the strap by SummerSlam. He's gotta be champion when they go to Fox.

I agree, as the top guy you have to have a balance, being entertaining is great and should always continue to do that but also have to be a threat, a great example is The Rock, was 1 of the most entertaining ever but you took him seriously also. Kofi at times can lean too much towards the comical side, there's a balance to be had, keep the humour, fun, entertainment etc, just add on to it a bit and have more depth to it at times.

Lol..if Becky isnt main eventing summerslam, Roman is.

It’s an understanding that no matter what kofi does, the belt will be off him by the time Fox starts. That restricts how excited we’ll get for this title reign. I will be at the SD show here in August ONLY if he’s still champ then, though

Yeah the only time you could take him seriously was when he destroyed that Nascar of Randy Orton's and when he put him through the table with the boom drop.

 

[prophecypro]

I mean we used to complain about black wrestlers being made to dance and smile and be happy, not serious. So I dont think JR totally all the way .....not all the way anyway.

That said for the most part since contending for the title, Kofi has been serious and theres only been like 1 week of goofiness when KO joined New Dy, other than that, before and after he been serious me

Why is that though? Is Roman actually a draw like that to where the company needs him with the belt...
