That opening segment last night of everybody coming down and saying that they should be the guy who gets to face Roman was kinda confusing. That style of promo is usually saved for champions when they're picking a number one contender.

Why should any of those guy want to fight Roman when he has no title and spend the last few months getting his ass kicked by Brock.

It's like this is the storyline that they would have ran with if Roman won the belt. But he didn't and they're running with this storyline anyway.

Shit, most of them are.

I'm still surprised Naomi ended up with the Uso boy. I thought she would've been on the same shit Cameron was on.

It seems most black female wrestlers are wainchin'. Ember's boyfriend take the cake though:smh:. Self proclaimed white man who calls himself the king of black women???? Someone needs to educate her dumb ass and he needs some bones broken.
 
He claims it was apart of his heel gimmick and that he was talking no money from the shirt and then he pulled the shirt.

He's full of shit and Ember is a certified wench.

All of these Indy wrestlers want to make it to WWE, all of them know WWE is PG and will shy away from anything that is controversial. One of their biggest stars is exiled from the company now for his racism.

He's married to a Black woman, that shirt has probably turned off a good deal of Ember's Black fans. I was a fan, now I am not.

I understand. Hogan was my idol during my early childhood. He's been apologetic somewhat. The industry really doesn't need him to be apart of it beyond his history associated with it. Im not going to stop watching or even be outrage. Hell Vince told Booker T "what's up my ni**a?" As a former Hogan fan I accept his apology but I'll will always think of him as a racist.
 
They've been trying to bring Hogan back since before Wrestlemania to be the Smackdown GM when they thought Shane was going to be out with his sickness and DB was returning to wrestling.

They must really want him back in the fold, because him playing the authority figure in TNA wasn't shit.

If WWE gave a flying fuck about the wrestlers long-term careers they would use that botch to heightening his character and position in the company.
They could have Titus disappear from TV for a little while. Meanwhile Titus can start that Jinder Mahal workout routine and maybe grow out a beard.
Then he can make his return in a few months as a dominate monster heel who is tired of not getting respect. Have him cut a few work/shoot style promos and physically destroy guys allow the way.
Titus would have to get a lot better in the ring and on the mic, but this could be done. By Mania time next year, he could be a Mark Henry level monster heel floating around the top of the card.

Or they can just run his career into the ground by making being clumsy and falling central to his character for the next few months. Until the joke is so not funny that people never want to see him again. Then quietly release him once they squeeze the last drop of money out a one time joke.

Knowing the WWE, they are going to overdue the whole clumsy wrestler gimmick and run his career into the ground. What should be a 1-2 week story, will get squeezed into months in the story line.

Yep I am no longer a fan of hers. Sure other black female talent before her wainched out but that shirt her boyfriend wearing was just too much.

Made me think of this

On Monday Seth came out and basically said that he was the one guy on Raw who couldn't give 2 shits about qualifying for MitB because he's the IC champ and that's what really matters. He successfully put the belt over as being more important.

24 hours later the US champ fights (and loses) a MitB qualifier.So what does that say about the US title?
