I hope he's not gonna follow this post up pretending like half watching a show with TSC brehs is the same as actually putting money in Cokeboy's pocket :dayum:

Something something free advertising dollars :lolbron:
If WWE dies, pro wrestling in America dies. The only reason indies exist is because WWE makes it a viable profession if you can get to that level. The second its gone, wrestling is dead in America. It's been the exclusive since the 80s, even when WCW was so hot, media would still talk about wrestling as WWF. And today, wrestling/WWE are interchangeable.

And worst of all, no companies treat their black wrestlers with respect. Even WCW and TNA, companies that had black world champions, had racist angles (the Harley/Simmons promos that were used again for Booker/HHH, Truth being ganged up on by NASCAR drivers who made fun of his hair/clothes/music in front of Southern crowds cheering like crazy for it). WCW was sued for racism at one point. Even a place like PWG has some very questionable names for teams and moves with black talents. Or take the black talents to Japan and see the racism that happens. Overt, crazy ass racism.

At least WWE pays them the most, I guess.

Nothing's going to change as long as wrestling is a good ol' boys fraternity. LU is the closest thing to a progressive company we have right now, in terms of story-telling, booking and treatment of their employees. But at the same time, I don't think LU is gonna last for a long time since they're on such a small network.

You and @Vinny Lupton really some company shills bruh :russ:

Say what you will, but everybody talkin' about how much they hate this company STILLLLLLLLLLLLLL watchin'... all I'm sayin' is be consistent.

There's a guy out here who runs a local bar/grill who's recently been exposed as a down-low racist and been charged with numerous counts of sexual harassment of employees. I think he's kinda a piece of shyt... so I ain't up in there eatin' wings and ordering beers every weekend.

All I'm sayin'. Stop pushin' nikkas' hypocrisies off onto people who tell them to stop bein' hypocritical.

I was thinking about this whole thing last night while reading the thread, and ended up coming to the conclusion that the main event of any given WWE show isn't the last match.

It's watching a 70 year old rich White man battling against the inevitability of the future and the idea of progress.

Most of us are legacy fans - I get the idea that TSC brehs in general have been watching for anywhere from 10-25/30 years, so we've grown up in times of social and cultural change. Nothing as drastic as the Civil Rights Era, for example. but change nonetheless.

As Black fans there has been precious little for us to get behind, over the years. Crazy if you think about it. In most non scripted sports in America, there is a history of Black folks excelling. shyt - we even took over the exclusive 'country club' sports (Tennis and Golf).
Without Black people, the NBA is The Sprite Lay-Up competition and high and tight shorts. Boxing would be 'Cinderella Man' status. And all of those sports have some :mjpls:in some shape or form, in their front office.



I'm still :snoop:that he thought he could put together New Day as a cheerful Black 'face' faction at the time of the Ferguson Protests. But that's an L I'll have to hold, knowing his track record.:francis:

Even his thing about only really fukking with big wrestlers. They tried to lowball AJ. He travelled and made himself hot, and then I imagine they had to offer him some legit paper. The Indies are filled with smaller talents who are over as fukk, and sure the big guys are always going to be an attraction - but he's always behind the curve. Phil was right as fukk about that.
This whole thing with Titus is just the latest round in the bout. And Vince needed :damn:in his corner.

I genuinely hope Titus takes Batista up on his offer. He's doing mainstream TV within a day of his suspension starting. Looks like he's more of a draw outside the company, than they thought.

As much of a role model as Titus is in his personal life - leaving and succeeding after being treated in such a way by the company he goes out of his way for, would be just as, if not more inspirational to the people he's looking to reach.


TL; DR Watching Vince struggle against the weight of Popular Culture is often more entertaining than his booking. Titus is going to be fine - potentially even better - if he leaves.

:jbhmm:
So you're saying don't buy Prince's early shot because Sony owns all the masters. I think I'm feeling you...

Just gonna ignore that and see where this goes for the people I root for. They're independent contractors.

Criticizing the dumb decisions that they make doesn't equal hating the company. And I support many other wrestling organizations so I'm far from an apologist of any kind. But many of the people who sound like you don't support any other major wrestling organizations which makes their holier than thou positions seem hollow.

If WWE dies, something will take its place. Quit giving Vince so much power. :snoop:
