Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 I don't see why you have to incorporate race into it. Do you see that Booker was a wCw man therefore he had to start all over? Did you see that KKwik and Mark Henry did not have what it takes to be huge players yet ... damn dude ... i I mean I'm not saying it isnt possible because it probably is, but don't make it the only reason for everything.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Well damn dude, Elix Skipper is a talented fuck. Lance Storm got hired, Mike Awesome got hired, how come the third member of team canada didn't? A main eventer having to start over again? Am I the only one troubled with that statement? Booker T is a talented performer and wrestler, yet there he is in skits with Golddust enforcing the stereotype of a black man with bad grammar. Can you dig that sukka? The fans like him, they always have, but the Wwf doesn't push him. K-kwick was a rapper; a ghetto-thuged wrestler. Dvon is a southern preacher. Mark Henry *does* suck, yet he is pushed because he is 'the worlds strongest man'. I think race is definately a motivating factor in the Wwf. Look at all those black bookers...And I don't mean the ones with the T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Well, same thing that happened to Booker happened to DDP. He was a main eventer from WCW and that means you get shoved down the card in the wwE. I mean, as long as Vince is around, stereotypical gimmicks will be in play , like KKwik and DVon, but all we can do is hope that the person's talent gets thewm somewhere eventually. Looks like it's going to start to happen for Booker too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 18, 2002 HOWEVER, booker T was a DOUBLE CHAMPION when Wcw died, he should have been treated with more respec than the Wwf gave him. I like how one discrimination opens up more... Wwf discriminates against.. -Minorities -Short People -Wcw employees Anything else? I guess 'Minorities' can be expanded. Black, Asian, Mexican are the big 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Green means rookie-ish. Maven is another example of green, but he tries to act like he isn't by attempting to have charisma on the mic, which he doesn't. Actually, as far as mic skills go, Maven tries harder to sound good but Orton comes off better. I think it's because Orton recognizes his spot as a new-comer. Maven wants to pretend he is experienced. How? He sucks and even he knows it. How dioes he pretend to be experienced? So basically, all Elix Skipper has to do is become 'the worlds most bendiest man' and he could get hired by the Wwf.What the fuck? What do you mean? You mean where they ground you like they did to Crash Holly? I've noticed that.Crash Holly was never a high fliyer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 18, 2002 I mean Elix Skipper is going to have to be recognized as 'the worlds most bendiest man' in order to get pushed in the Wwf... Was I that vague before? Elix Skipper is very flexible.. How do you know Crash Holly is not a flyer? Are you basing this on his Wwf tenure? Which I guess is proving that statement about 'the Wwf grounding Crash Holly' right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Well, the wwE policies are phucked, nobody is saying that, but I do denounde the notion of flat out racism in the ranks. Maybe nepotism, but not flat out prejudice, I don't really think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 I think Orton should stay on SD he's looked good enough so far... maybe put him in a tag team of somekind .. not too sure who, any ideas? He is clearly the wwE's next offering to the female population. They seem to like always having someone for their fans girlfriends to cheer for, and with Jeff Hardy looking like Kate Moss they needed someone new I guess.

Elix Skipper is very flexible..Sorry.......brainfart. You were totally clear bro. How do you know Crash Holly is not a flyer? Are you basing this on his Wwf tenure? Which I guess is proving that statement about 'the Wwf grounding Crash Holly' right.I used to hear he was always different from other small gus because he didn't use a lot of high risk or flashy moves. What did he use to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 19, 2002 I'll admit, I'm not a big Crash Holly history buff. So I'm not sure about this. It was the first example to come to mind. But I have heard that in his past Crash Holly had a few top rope moves. I probaly shouldn't have put it there giving that I don't have an in depth knowledge, but it was an example that popped to my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
