We definitely have to acknowledge the effort to push Black talent in the WWE right now

You guys cheering all this diversity are still missing one simple fact. None of them are the face of the company. It's Roman Reigns at the moment. If Lashley beats Roman Reigns for the Universal title then I'll believe in WWE changing. WWE title is secondary to Universal.

The marks will never give em props for this.

But they’ll praise Punk for having 1 throwaway match with Hobbs on rampage with a clean pin. Hobbs looks like he’d knock Punk the fukk out into a coma with 1 back handed bytch slap, I’m supposed to believe the short order cook can kick his ass smh.
Not only that but Punk got his ass punked in the octagon by a 120 lb featherweight with hands.

I don't see him giving anyone over 160 hands.

I think Tazz son or wife could've fukked him up in a real fight dolo.

Y'all go too damn far in these dumb wars when you start trading in bottom of the barrel bullshyt like this.
I still watch AEW illegally like I do WWE just to watch Daniel Bryan so i support neither brand by default but lesbehonest...

At this point, it's transparent.

Definitely good to see black wrestlers being showcased heavily like that in WWE. They do deserve it cuz not too many others are doing their thing like some of the black wrestlers are. New Day took what was originally a bad booking idea and have turned it into greatness and have been one of the most consistently entertaining and over superstars the past few years. Lashley has been incredible this past year especially with MVP and the Hurt Business and definitely should've gotten a championship when he was there some years back. Street Profits one of the most entertaining tag teams there is and know how to work the crowd and get excitement for their matches. Plus nothing compares to the women. Sasha been killing it since her NXT days and Bianca has also been really good for quite some time and both will continue to get better. There's not many other superstars with as much excitement and quality these days than these black wrestlers. Hopefully they continue to do great and the rest of the roster steps up as well.

Agree to disagree on the first point.


It's strange talking about this since wrestling is not merit based. But all these people are succeeding but despite that none of them are stars. They're not being booked the way Cena or Reigns are booked. So back to my original question: besides Sasha are any of these people stars?

What constitutes a star? Merch sales? Cheers? Recognition outside of wrestling? If the standard is who's being booked like Cena or Reigns then nobody's a star.

I hate how it's always "pandering" whenever somebody non-white is featured prominently.

nikkas being crabby and c00n-y as they always are. We live in capitalist society. Businesses and corporations always pander. That's how they make money. White people were fine with being pandered to for decades, til they start shifting the focus elsewhere. It's funny tho. When we are not represented, it's a problem, "they hate Black people!" :hula:When we do get shine, it's a problem, "they're pandering!". No shyt. Who the hell cares? Why is it only us who see this as a bad thing lol? Just sit back, and be happy for all these talented Black people finally getting opportunities and taking center stage.
