I don't think Vince is really a racist, there's just more huge white dudes in wrestling than black dudes. I don't think they blew Kofi and MVP because they were black, they hosed up with them because they went loving insane after Lesnar bailed.

And really, have there been any black wrestlers recently who were actually worth pushing to the main event? Just Lashley and MVP come to mind. Maybe Kofi, but he's still there and young and might have a good future. They just need to pick up Kenny King so they can get Shelton Benjamin but with charisma. EDIT: I forgot about Elijah Burke.

Shelton Benjamin had tons of charisma before he got stop and started so many times that he stopped giving a poo poo.

Anyone who thinks Booker T didn't get a serious push because of race is an idiot and didn't watch wrestling when he was in WWE. He was hurt because he was a WCW guy. Plus he did get pushes, including at the expense of Batista (one of Vince and HHH's favorites who is also half-Black) because Booker got the better of Batista in a real fight.Captain Charisma posted:I don't think Vince is really a racist, there's just more huge white dudes in wrestling than black dudes. Similarly, Mark Henry is a huge Black dude who has never drawn but Vince throws money at to keep. Captain Charisma posted:Well RVD's problem is that he was at his zenith of popularity during the Invasion and HHH's Reign of Doom. He also almost killed Triple H.

I still can't really tell what happened - was Triple H legit injured from a knee or something on that landing? It looked like he actually hit it about as good as he could have from that height.

I don't remember any injury but I do remember being PISSED that RVD was pinned right after hitting such a big move and then HHH went on until the end.

How sudden it is and how nothing really goes into it caught me off guard. I just didn't know if Triple H rolling around kicking his feet was just selling that crazy move or if he had actually gotten injured when it hit and then worked the rest of the match.

Vince isn't racist, he's just more ignorant than any person to ever live. He also knows that wrestling is mostly watched by poor white people. But there are also poor black people and poor latino's who watch wrestling so he gets people for them to cheer as well.

It's the fault of whoever thought it would be a good idea for RVD to climb into a very, very small space, and then try to do a Frog Splash without enough room to stand up, let alone jump properly :{ He really had no choice but to fall off the chamber, and try to somehow land on HHH. I wonder if anyone realised this, until he'd actually climbed up there?

Also, so it's not a single emoticon reply, I realize this is still a few months away but who do you all see winning Money in the Bank? People are calling Del Rio for the Rumble but I think MitB might be a better fit for him.

MITB should really be used for a guy that can't naturally ascend into the main event picture easily; which is what they tend to use it for. Del Rio is pretty much there now, I don't see the need to waste it on him. Then again whoever gets it will probably cash in quickly, before the MITB PPV, so maybe they'll want to go with someone who's ready now. Or maybe they won't cash in and we'll get dueling briefcases. I could go for that.
