The Rock flopped till he did "DIE ROCKY DIE!" promo or whatever it is, cannot remember but at that point, he still was a midcard. I see ZERO potiental in Darren Young delivering a promo even close to that standard, hell, PTP was only over with AW doing all the promo shizzle.

Why push someone like Darren Young when you got the likes of Dean Ambrose, Damien Sandow, Bray Wyatt, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz at your disposal to make major main eventers, who knows Seth Rollin' might get 'Jeff Hardy' over with the crowd.

lol Darren Young.

Just b/c he is black Cena doesn't mean he'll be as successful as white Cena.

Now quick question, you say mic skills are important, how the fuck was Jeff Hardy a world champion? His mic skills aren't that good either.

So is Darren if they make a baby face again. The crowd loved him during NXT.

I've seen no proof that Darren Young is over. But tell me the last time that a black man was the number one guy in WWE? Hell tell me when was a black man last a WWE Champion(it being the main belt)? Wait what it's never happened? Darren Young or sorry to say any Black man will never be the top guy in WWE.

Jeff Hardy fell into the Bret Hart category, Bret wasn't strong on the mic during his first big push, but he had this thing called quiet charisma that captivates people. There are people out there who don't have to be outgoing to get over, they just have "it". Nobody really knows what "it" is, but there is just something about certain guys that people gravitate towards. Bill Goldberg was another example, Brock was like that and you can't really work on that, some people are just born with "it".

There are people like a Fedor Emilianenko who never spoke or were so quiet that it just makes people take notice.

If we get really technical, Rock is black.

I agree though with Young. I don't even know anyone who actually thinks he's helping Prime Time Players. More people want him out of the picture because they believe he's holding O'Neil back. I'm one of those people. If either one of them are over right now with fans, it's O'Neil.

What the fuck does being black have anything to do with it?

Race baiting isn't cool.

Also take into account that Darren Young is almost 33 years old. People compare him to Rock, yet Rock was a lot younger during his whole career than that, plus WWE obviously had a TON of faith in him that you could tell he was at least going to be a steady midcarder whether you liked it or not. WWE has shown hardly any faith in Young.

Sorry but it's a fact. And Rock was Samoan and a third generation athlete. It's a logical point.

No it's not, Rock is Barack Obama of WWE. Half black n shit.

Race shouldn't even be a card anymore, it's 2012, the 21st century. I doubt WWE is keeping people down because of the colour of their skin, they pushed Bobo Brazil, Pedro Morales and they made an openly gay man their first ever IC champion in the 70s. If people are there to pay to see someone, then WWE will give it to them.

But, to make a point, is there a black man in WWE worth pushing?

Also, Bobby Lashley and Booker T mean anything?
