Ricky Starks being in NXT at all is a terrible sign for people thinking he’ll be pushed at a higher level. If he was seen by them as a main eventer, he would never be seen on that game show set

I don't have an issue with it. He debuted weeks after the Rumble & during Mania when all the storylines are in place for the event. Other option would have been to hold off his debut for another 2 months until after Mania.

I would’ve done that

You think if every black wrestler started wearing black leather they'd receive a push? Have guys out here dressed like Jodeci
The Goth look is only works for white wrestlers in the WWE. We know that wrestlers with certain “traits” is big nose wet dream. :mjpls:

Reminds of me of one of the best moments in recent NXT history :laff:

Great promo, but, Melo looked like he was the new member of H-Town and shyt.

I came across a comment online that compared Ricky Starks to a smaller version of The Rock. :dead:What are wrong with these neckbeards? :skip:

That’s another issue I mentioned before. 90 percent of the roster is in some sort of black leather now, faces and heels. Almost everyone has the same aesthetic now, instead of uniqueness. Bring some fukking color back Trips (that last sentence can have multiple meanings). :skip:

I started to notice the booking has favored qualities that Triple K likes and it’s making the stories stale. He needs to get a diverse group of writers to capture different audiences but he stuck on pleasing the neckbeards on the IWC. It feels as long the good old boys are happy, he doesn’t care about the other demographic groups as long they are watching.

The youth are trending MAGA these days so don't know about the bolded.
White youth is trending MAGA.
So, you think WrestleMania 39 being one of the most praised Manias in recent years, and the RAW after WrestleMania being trashed was a coincidence? The same person was responsible for the majority booking decisions for both events?

You also claim that WrestleMania 39 was Vince all the way and you admit you can't prove it, you're just speculating on things he might have done like everyone else is?

At the same time, you believe everything was sunshine and rainbows for black wrestlers before Triple H took over? A few guys get the spotlight after one of the most racially charged incidents in years and it's just Vince showing how much he appreciates black talent?

If I'm a Triple H apologist, you're a Vince apologist. You can't comprehend the fact that Triple H has issues with booking black talent and at the same time, the product in general is in a much better place than it was ten years ago. Both of those things can be true. But it seems like you don't fukk with WWE at all and you weren't watching back then. Otherwise, you wouldn't be eager to give Vince so much credit.
Thank you for posting this because it highlighted your ignorance. I said WM39 was a Vince show because he was still the main person in charge, that doesn't mean HHH didn't have any input. Secondly I never said everything was great for black wrestlers under Vince, and if you actually followed the discussions we've all had in multiple threads you'd know that all of us have called Vince out on his bullshyt booking when it came to black wrestlers in the past. Also if you knew anything about me you'd know that I was calling out all the so called black posters that stopped watching the WWE when it became too black and switched over to AEW. You came into a thread that rightfully called out HHH's terrible booking of black talent and immediately started trying to defend him. HHH has literally cooled off every black wrestler that made big strides during the pandemic, and you thought it was a good idea to be his defendant. Finally if black wrestlers are being suppressed in favor of HHH's white favorites then why would I think it's in a better place?

Nope, NXT is much better for him since HH has already decided who he wants to represent the main rosters :mjpls:
