Now that Shelton is finally back, does he win the big one?

Seeing Street Profits basically being a mix a Cryme Tyme & Black Twitter is a sign that "being black IS your gimmick bro" is still in play. Even though Naomi played the sideline for 7-8 years, her 2017 portrayal and push is probably the best we'll get

I don't blame WWE either because the same characters are in the film and tv. In the end, they are feeding into stereotypes to gain traction with the audience.

Mark Henry was the last black heavyweight champion.....Mark......Henry.

Y'all nikkas don't get it. If it looks racist, sounds racist, and acts racist well then guess what.....
And Mark had to threaten physical harm on Vince to get the HOP gimmick :dead:

The legit WSM was in WWE doing Sexual Chocolate gimmicks. DURING HIS PRIME. :snoop:

If he puts on solid indy-riffic matches on Smackdown Live and be serviceable on the mic, he could definitely get the crowd backing for a run. If he's anything like Shelton of old at his age, it'll definitely show once he's in there with an AJ, Sami, KO, or Nakamura....and the IWC will be aware of his "clock", so why not? :yeshrug:

It's been a while since we've had a nice "You Deserve It" chant.

They'll treat him like Rhyno: a reliable veteran who can help the younger guys get over. Besides Kofi is in a better position to get a title run than current Shelton Benjamin.

Their damn theme is called "Bring the Swag". What's the diff between this and "Money, money yeah yeah"


There's nothing negative about the Street Profits. Like I said in the NXT thread, they're more like the Hype Bros.
