I never said we need a black version of cena. The face of company should get there because of their natural charisma. Booker T had that at one point in time but they denied it to him. Lashly should have been built up to be like Brock Lesner or Bitista but he was run out.

yh not saying u did but thats what it seems like people want
and so is it safe to say that simply the time just isnt right at the moment?
I don't see that at all. I think people just want black man not getting snubbed and allowed the same chance that people like the Miz gets. No one can be like Cena, Hogan , Rock or Stone Cold. I think they want when they prove themselves over with the crowd then they are allowed to be the face of the company instead of being denied that top spot.

Even more ether we didn't consider. It keeps going and going.
But but what about Donald Trump and Pete Rose?

the one time they gave kofi a real push he took the ball and ran with it, and was legit over. then the orton "STUPID STUPID" incident happened and he was never given a chance again.

mayweather too
as for the "if rock was seen as black" thing, as a half black kid i always saw the rock for both his sides and definitely feel like he was as much a black wrestler as he was a samoan wrestler
i'd be interested to see what the objective consensus on the board is tho, cuz to play devil's advocate, his wrestling heritage from his samoan side is a lot more diverse and decorated than from his black side so that may the excuse for the E to justify why the mention his samoan lineage a lot more

I didn't know Rock was half Samoan until the announcers told me. When I first started watching, Rock was in The Nation, under Farooq, so I naturally considered him black, because I have cousins who have lighter skin than him. But that was as a teenager, and unfortunately, WWE and The Rock himself, don't really play into his black heritage at all. Not that he denies it or anything, but he identifies as Samoan. So it's hard to say Rock is the first black champ when he doesn't really identify as black, at least publicly.
Truth. You can't tell me that numerous black wrestlers in the past 15-20 yrs in WWE weren't championship material if Sheamus, Miz, Ziggler, Swagger, and Del Rio had runs
What's wrong with Sheamus?
