Cena hit JTG with an Attitude Adjustment

[dh86]

Pretty much, I call this kind of stuff 'racism through proxy'. Like Vince knows a big part of the wrestling fanbase is middle America so he's afraid of losing a lot of money betting on a black champ. Similar to Hunter going over Booker boiling down to Hunter politicking for his own best interest even though the entire narrative of feud with Booker practically demanded Booker to go over. In this business they will always go for what benefits them, not for what is right or fair.

And I'm not saying that there isn't maybe blatant racism at play, but this is the same kind of business narrative that runs the whole entertainment industry. Hollywood too thinks that the majority of the audience (white people) have trouble connecting with black actors, so they don't want to risk it when they can make the same kind of cash going the 'safe' route.

It's not some flat-out "We don't like black people" shyt, but there is clearly a system in place that holds back and devalues black wrestlers.

That's just plain ole up front racism. Given that a PPV with a black boxer in the main event just did 4 million buys, hard to roll with "middle America won't accept a black champion"

Cena requested that Cryme Tyme be put with him in the Cenation. JTG just wants some material to sell this book.

JTG would really lie to sell those $1.23 books, wouldn't he

I thought the narrative there was that they wanted to see the black champion defeated. At least, that's the narrative here on The Coli, lol.

Didn't he keep the glasses though? Even after his makeover by Fox.

With Floyd, there's a huge audience of both, and he's able to play off that just like Ali and Tyson. You can't have guys that marketable in boxing, and Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson in mma but blacks in wrestling aren't "good enough" to be champ. Miz, Swagger and Sheamus won the belt tho lol

Swagger winning the belt ruined it for me. He was garbage and always will be.

Miz in retrospect was the equivalent of giving Jarrett the WWE Title.

Yes he would. I know you are trying to be a smart ass but guess what? He won already- there is a thread about it here, on reddit and and wrestling forum.

He has drummed up interest in a book that no one should care about.

You don't have to tell me all that because I get that and never said it wasn't racism (I called it racism by proxy, the term itself obviously stating that it's still racism), my point is that there's a difference between racism in the sense that Vince flat out hates black people and racism in the sense that the business narrative the company follows puts black wrestlers at a disadvantage. And I think that's what JTG meant in that quote, even though we disagree with him that it isn't racism (it's merely a different form).

 

[The Wall Brother]

Thankfully this is satire and Cena didn't really give another grown man a stern talking to on the toilet.

Right?

@3Rivers Make it happen.

 

[mrken12]
