The "curious" case of Triple K

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I like all of these ideas to be honest. I already had the Omos and R Truth line of thinking, but the Melo one is good as well.

So which wrestlers are we pushing down the ladder to make room? How would that go over with the ticket buying community?

Breh at this point, if I'm booker (heavens forbid) I would rather do right with the roster, than worry about ticket sales.

The mid card focus would be my MO and quite frankly, I would push hard for Melo as my story line will thrive. We are long overdue for a Kofimania type of experience, and Melo would be a good fit to the road to WM.

The problem with Trips that he's focus on playing it safe and being stubborn with the pushback. Look we all can't stand Vince but dude would fold to make a black wrestler look like a star to some sort.

Trips on that Pay Ya Dues bullshyt that's slowly being exposed as a man with no vision other than his failed past.

Mans legit making WWE a Watts territory, so the idea of moving tickets in this economical climate is crazy given that WM looking like a bust so far.

What's the problem? Austin Theory and the random assorted cac got more storyline that any black wrestler on the roster for the last 3 yrs. Yall just dint like WWE being racist and you guys as fans know shyt won't change on that side so your rather agree that fukkkng kofi and them aren't good enough

I find it weird that, while it is a fact that there are currently no black top singles male stars which I'm not discounting, the narrative completely ignores the black WOMEN and tag teams on the roster just to paint a picture that NOBODY black is getting anything. So because it's not Truth, Omos, Apollo Crews, or Melo... it's also not Bianca, Jade, Naomi, or the Profits. That's the part I can't take seriously about this discussion, or any other type of discussion for that matter- using omission and semantics to disregard one thing for the sake of another is bogus. That's the type of stuff that goes on in court.

Let's look at the women. Bianca was one of the most protected women on the roster and she main evented WrestleMania with Mercedes/Sasha. But let's look deeper into that. Sasha (and Vince) both had a hand in wanting Bianca in that match. That was a year where Charlotte was out, etc. and Vince was relying more on what Sasha had to say. Down in NXT, Bianca did not win her most prominent feuds. Who was booking? Triple H.

Under Triple H on the main roster, Bianca has still been protected to a degree but she was also put in more midcard feuds and stories. That's all fine if the objective was to get to the eventual Bianca vs. Jade blow off match but now that's not happening. Also under Hunter, it's become clear that Rhea Ripley is his John Cena of the women's division. It doesn't take an intelligent person to figure that out with the way she's protected/booked. Bianca is in this triple threat with Iyo and Rhea but she's mostly been getting fukked up. Is she going to come out on top at WM? I don't know. I think the jury is out on how much Hunter actually likes Bianca.

Looking at Jade, we thought Hunter loved her but then she went off and disappeared for 4 months and we're not sure why. Maybe it was an injury but when that report came out from Meltzer and them people in WWE were saying "haha fake news!" so what's the real story there? Then Jade lost (with interference) to Liv Morgan on a random SD! event. They didn't make a big deal of her first loss. Does it help the feud with Naomi? Sure it does but it also could be telling us that Jade's wins/losses don't matter as much and we all thought Jade would likely have an undefeated streak like she did in AEW. That's not happening now.

So I don't know how much Hunter loves those two.

Omos should be Melo's bodyguard.

Similar to how Nash was HBK's bodyguard back in the 90s.

"No."

"No."

It would work but I guess Triple K will not approve it

I'm kinda over the bodyguard storyline, but I would take that over whatever the bland hell Hunter Hurts HBCU is booking

I’ve said before that everything they’re doing with Strowman right now, they could’ve done with Omos instead

Yall really call him Triple K

Braun moves better than omos, even with the injuries... I dunno about that one. But I see what you mean

 

[R=G]

Which of ANY of the wrestlers you named on a PPV singles match recently?

Also, you are the one lowering the Black wrestlers comparing them to The Viking Raiders. No one even mentioned them.

No one is buying a ticket to see any of them. Still didnt answer the question- which Black wrestler in the WWE are you going to BUY a ticket to go and see?

It's not about mentioning them. They get pushes, right? Theyve changed their name like 3x and got this weird title reign that means nothing. Yet a black talent has to be Bret Hart and Stone Cold combined to get any sort of push. Why act transparent?

Feels like this thread is just going around in circles.

If Omos, a Vince hire, had completed his excursion and fully tapped into the attraction side of the business, anything HHH could throw at Braun could be done by Omos. Braun is overexposed, and nobody credibly believes he will be more than a short term transitional champion.

But Omos did not complete his excursion.
