To be honest, I think the WWE has been pretty fair in giving out gimmicks to black people. Booker-T, Kofi Kingston, Shelton Benjamin, D-Lo Brown, MVP, and Farooq are just a few that coom to mind when it comes to great gimmicks that work. Too bad R-Truth keeps getting the shitty end of the stick. He used that same gimmick when he debut with the Road Dog, back in the Attitude Era. Part of me wonders if Ron Killings actually requested that gimmick.
My hope (as I've probably posted in this thread, before) is that he'd team with Cryme Tyme and either MVP or Shelton Benjamin to form some sort of faction. |
Cryme Time needs to get a tag team push and win the titles at Mania. That would be great. It seems like the tag team division has fallen apart. You notice how the only tag team that existed in the WWE is Hart Dynasty,Cryme Time,and SHowMiz? They need to revive the tag team division.
Btw, they just released Charlie Haas today.
In my opinion the next wrestler to be released, it has to be between Carlito,Jack Swagger or Dolph Ziggler. The creative team has nothing for them at this point.
Anyway, I really like the match between the Miz and Edge on Smackdown this past friday. Edge made Miz look like a main eventer. Both of them went back and forth which made the match great.

I agree with ya, Snake. In the past, I had a hard time taking the Miz (and even though he'd won the title, Edge) seriously. It looks like the WWE has finally made me a believer.
For some reason, they're pushing Ziggler. I don't get it. He's not that talented. He's just okay on the mic. He looks pretty generic. Am I missing something? As for Carlito, its like he doesn't give a damn anymore. He used to be over with the audience but the WWE didn't give him the push he deserved. Adding Primo to the roster seemed to dilute Carlito's presence even more. I still have hopes for Jack Swagger. He's a big guy with a lot of in ring talent. I guess he just has to pay his dues. The potential for him is there.

I'm a ziggler fan. No, I don't like the look and on the mic he's so-so but he is damn good in the ring. He had some damn good matches with mysterio and morrison over the summer, he's had good matches with kane (which is just crazy), and he looked the best during the triple threat. And it's not like morrison or truth say anything of merit on the stick.
Besides, people need to calm down. It's the money in the bank match. It's a glorified spot fest with maybe 1-2 guys who deserve a title shot. I think ziggler will be great in it.
Also, the tag team belts have to be on a team that is worth having on two shows. That's why jericho had them with edge and the big show, that's why dx had them, and that's why the miz and big show have them now. The tag titles are arguably the most important titles out there since they come with the most responsibilty. Jericho, Edge, DX, and miz get ratings. Let's face it, cryme time is a go no where gimmick. the heart dynasty lack personality. MVP and mark henry have run their course on trying to be true mean eventers. I know it sucks, but out of those teams, no one deserves to appear on two shows more then the miz and big show (who are great as a team anyway).
