Because this shyt aint gonna last even 5 years the way things is going... Over the past 15 years. We've seen Mexicans, Indians, Irishmen, Euros, Samoans, Canadians, CACs(of course) have gotten pushes and have been faces of the WWE. But theres a lane for black wrestlers.

The last time they really pushed a black man to be a face it was the Rock and look at how the results came. He ended up being one of the biggest money makers in history and carried the WWE to the highest number in 2000.

Mark Henry's Hall of Pain run in 2011 brought Smackdown a spike in ratings when that brand was pretty much dead in water with the same mofos(Edge, Myserio, Taker, Orton, Del Rio) winning and driving the crowds away.

R.Truth probably even had drawing potential and was going somewhere with his angle before CM Punk's shoot eclipsed him

I'm not talking about a dancing, shuck and jiving, jolly ass black man or a black man that's over the top with the hip hop lingo and really corny(Crime Time). I believe Lashley and Moose have potential and would love to see them leave that GFW dump and fukk shyt up.
No Trump supporters.

Lashley wants enough off time to do MMA and Moose has a prior DV charge, which is the reason WWE passed on him so you can take them off the list.

Big E is our best chance but they'd have to stop booking him goofy and would have to get over him being 5'10. Also check for up and comers in NXT, Montez Ford has the charisma to be a future champ, Jason Jordan has the skills. Hell I believe that Kofi deserves one of those "lifetime achievement" reigns they would give guys like Christian, Kane and Mark Henry during the last brand split.

One problem I found is that WWE only broadcasts to Northern African countries and South Africa. I think they assume they already have us for life in countries like the US, UK and South Africa so they put no effort in really pushing black stars.

There is currently a lot of potential in the current crop of NXT talent.

Montez Ford has looks, ring ability, charisma.

Patrick Clark solid wrestler, dedication, peak physical condition.
They won't build around him because of his gimmick but I could see him being a featured performer.

Brennen Williams never seen him wrestle, but he's a former NFL player that was trained by Booker T.

yep if you get a black man with crossover appeal the company is immediately back...but this is the only sport where the "good ol boys" reign supreme so i dont know if they are gonna make that happen :mjpls:

Pretty much every sport that isn't basketball, football or track and field has some :mjpls: in it. Look at what happened to Adam Jones in Fenway, how they've always treated Venus & Serena, how PK Subban is treated by fans of other teams during the playoffs

TALENT is there: Apollo, Jordan, Big E, Cedric (!!!), hell Montez Ford and Velveteen Dream from NXT have tons of potential. FOH with Titus (horrible worker) and Lashley (too old, still a good hand tho)

Problem is, as usual, creative and the boss

Combine that with WWE's size fetish and it's super hard for someone like Apollo or Velveteen Dream to ever get a real shot.
