the point is they are all side characters under Hunter's booking. yes they are still important. no they aren't as important as before. it's just pointing out a fact. how you personally feel about their booking and if you enjoy it is a seperate thing and perfectly fine if you like them in these slots. the point is hunter has yet to book black people at the top of the card. Whether you think the reason for that is the talent isn't good enough or he's not the best at booking them was more the discussion to be had. Maybe try to look beyond good/bad?
I guess I agree that they’re not at the top of the card but you also can’t just say that it’s specifically because they’re black.

I personally think it's simply different talent assessment and more of a coincidence at this point. I think the guys like Lashley and Omos Vince likes are not the type of guys Hunter likes. I am sure once someone of Hunter style emerges they'll get a push , too. still, it's worthwhile discussion. especially when the other company just had a black world champion in a very successful run.

Also I’m quite certain Carmelo Hayes is gonna be a champion some day. I could be wrong but I’d be shocked if he wasn’t.

Melo and Andrade are starting a program with LA Knight which is always a good spot

Melo actually did get cooked by Knight for botching a line months ago in a backstage segment way before Knight was champ :slip:

But yeah I agree it's talent preference when it comes down to HHH booking, I think the posts pointing out no black talent on cars (especially when other minorities are present in major matches) are really disingenuous. I almost disregard all arguments that aren't looking at specific cases, generalizations always suck

Yeah Melo would have to really get over to a point his size isn’t a factor for him to be the top guy.
I would assess that it will all hinge on not only his promos but him finding a gimmick that resonates with the audience - right now I don't think he's fully found it

I honestly doubt he really gets there
But there’s no shame in being a long standing midcarder with great matches and some long reigns

It really is silly considering how much minority talent does get pushed under H.

I also don’t take it seriously when the complaint is coming from a 50 year old who’s out of shape and is clearly not gonna be treated the same as when he was 33 and a good wrestler.

It’s such a cop out to cry racism because you’re mad you didn’t get a push.
