The Atlantic: Pro Wrestling is fake, but its race problem isn't

[Art Barr]

reading this post it looks like u would like the wwe to have stars of all colors? ok but what if they just dont have right guys yet? lets say they just have the whites = cena, byran , is it by force that they should groom a chinese rassler to hit all points?

the wwf is racist and suffers from not checking their privilege.

if you don't think the wwf is racist.
then, why are they just signing kenta and only to nxt.
when, kenta was the guy who helped build the draw of bryan danielson.
plus, kenta's finisher was also used by its last longest reigning champion, as well.

wwf is racist,..
why did it take them so long to recognize mr t...
when, the wwf/wwe would have never had any mainstream permeation to the general fan without mr t, exclusively.

this is a good point that i didn't even think of when i made that post. first of all floyd is responsible for the greatest celebrity match in mania history imo. he might not have saved the company like mr. t and tyson, but he definitely did help boost its credibility especially since it was the mania following the whole benoit incident.

i've had the rest of this post in mind for a minute as a follow up to my tyson/mr.t saved the company (twice) post. WWE's mainstream success has basically been built on black dudes/black culture/embarrassing rich cacs (mania 23/austin vs mcmahon)

also to add to the mr. t thing i think it should be noted that ali was involved in the first mania too.

let's focus on the era when they were flopping 93-97, no black dudes on top (although they got desperate and tried to use LT to attract attention in 95). don't get me wrong b/c steve austin is one of my favorite wrestlers and he is basically the ultimate CAC redneck white dude. i totally respect his success, but it's no fukking surprise that a dude portraying a drunk redneck in america actually attracted a huge audience. even then i think the attraction was more a billionaire CAC getting his comeuppance than anything. still though WWE was most profitable in 2000 when the WWE was built around the rock (who unlike austin) transitioned his wrestling career into a fukking 9 figure acting career.

let's think about this for a minute. Mania 28 and 29 are two of the biggest buyrates of all time and they are basically built upon a black celebrity returning. even if the rock doesn't identify as black or whatever, b/c he's a momma's boy and his mom is samoan, if obama is black then the rock is black. the only bigger buyrate than those two buyrates where the rock returned was the trump/vince mania where basically two fukking billionaire CACS had to guarantee that one of them would be embarrassed to attract that number. the point is whether rock identifies as black or not, he's basically the 3rd black man who has kept this company from embarrassment with his new found celebrity, just like tyson and mr. t.

let's not even address how their biggest star of the last decade has been cena who basically culture vultured off of hip hop.

tbh i think big e and titus are both world champion level workers. idk if big e has the charisma required, but dude has the look they love. dude was over as fukk in NXT so if they booked him as the same dominant dude i think he could have gotten just as over. as for titus, dude has actually grown into a great worker if you check his main event/superstars shyt over the last year. on top of that he def has the look and charisma they look for. even has the legitimate former athlete background. only thing working against him is his age, but still this dude should be way higher on the card than he is now and probably a champion.

as for the past. i loved r-truth's heel run in 2011. dude should have definitely been given a chance. he's entertaining as fukk as a heel and far better than that c00n shyt they've had him doing for most of his WWE run. i don't really have anything against the failure to push lashley personally. he's never done it for me, even in TNA now. yeah he looks like a badass, but dude has no tangible charisma. mark henry on the other hand? he had one of the greatest segments OF ALL TIME with the fake retirement stuff last yr. he's also a PROVEN ratings mover. there's really no excuse for henry never getting a WWE title run.

i wonder which black celebrity/athlete they will mooch off of for success next.

prolific posting....
also,...
to add on to the black celeb/athlete they will mooch off of their success next.
there won't be any as wrasslin is damaged beyound repair in the black community as draw.
plus, blacks in general as a draw in entertainment has been limited and made a mockery of, purposefully.
so, there won't be a stimulus package to save these companies in the future.
all companies are in the destruction of the draw period as far as entertainment is concerned.
plus, the interest to rebuild them won't exist in the black community to save them, either.

you don't see sheamus as bigger than kofi, langston?

sheamus won the main promotion title and has had numerous main promotion title wins and matches on ppv.
kofi, slipped one time on some paint on a nascar and de-elevated.
when, i have to ask..
why is kofi, pouring paint on a nascar car, in the first place.

when, sheamus was in a me program.
he was putting people through tables, and smacking people with chairs and giving people clubs to the chest.

while, kofi has only showed one moment of aggression his entire tenure in wwf against dolph.
you don't see a problem with that...

also, we don't know if kofi had it.
as they de-elevated him and pigeoned holed and demeaned his character without giving him a chance, at all.

other wwf personalities have had a chance to slip on the perverbial banana peel.
from shytting in people's bags, to sexual assault, etc.
then, still beat down numerous folks and get awarded their place back on the card to me status.
kofi slipped on a car, and never had any oppurtunities to ever be taken as a me guy, ever again.
when, real talk,..
to this day dolph has never been interesting to be a me guy.
plus, kofi elevated that dude, and gave him the rub and his best actual matches and segments in the entire fed.
yet, just because dolph is a ladies man/golden boy.
he gets way more,....in comparison to kofi.

if we judge what sheamus gets and he is no golden boy, at all.
sheamus, from just good ole boi-ism is given the world.
when, compared to kofi and kofi is a much better worker and performer, too.

maybe kenta shouldnt have signed with wwe if they just giving him chicken bones instead of the proper meat

wwe has always been about money thats why they used mr t when they did

the look Vince wants is a white bodybuilder who has a connection to his son-in-law.

Kofi slipped on a paint covered NASCAR racer.
sheamus slipped and became champion of the whole promotion.
you don't see the difference.

im not even sure what kofi did tbh all i know is that he slapped the miz something hard, thats got to mean something right?

How i look at it, Eddie was the undisputed champion..easily the more superior title, he was the most popular guy on the roster and Smackdown was the better show...Eddie was the face of the company at that time...period

Eddie was not the face of the company, then.
the big gold belt title holder was the face of the company, then.

It will be forever funny to me how Kingston is considered a "jobber", but is constantly put in to elimination chambers and Money in the Bank matches.

edit: no, I'm not trying to make an offhanded point. I'm just making an observation.

They gave the most boring black man in the entire world a run. That's crazy lol.
