Kofi had a great feud with Orton that was booked to make Orton look stronger. Whose fault is that?

Orton just had a feud in which he was booked to look stronger than DiBiase and Rhodes. Are those two also black?

Bottomline is, there haven't been any black deserving guys to hold the belt. And the ones that have been deserving, have been pushed. Booker T. The Rock, Bobby Lashley. Those are the only ones that have deserved the push and they have gotten it. You say they should risk it and give the belt to a guy like MVP or Kofi...why? Just because they're black and they don't want to look racist?

Xtremebadass say that no black guy was won the WWE Championship and has won the WHC and puts this as a plot to show that WWE doesn't allow black guys near their top belt. I see it more as a fact that the WWE Championship spends the majority of its time on Raw, you know, the place where you're lucky to get pushed above Orton, HHH, Cena, not even mattering your race.

Raw has always been the Triple H and Cena show so you're right about that. With Kofi, I should've been clear, he's a good candidate, as a black wrestler, to be world champion. By making him look weak against Orton, it's out the window.

Would you consider David Otunga African American?

If so, besides for Kofi, I see him being the next African American champion in the WWE once NXT finishes. He has potential to be pushed, not just because he is black.

WWE rascist? No. WWE political and a dog eat dog world? Yes

Elijah Burke had all the potentional but didn't get it for some reason (well done TNA, may I add). Mark Henry, don't go there. MVP, one guy who had the major shot but lost it. Kofi Kingston, simple fact is when. David Otanga, famous girlfriend, £10 says he'll be next Cena. R-Truth, has the talent, WWE dont have the time to wait. Thats my views summed up, short and sweet.

Kofi Kingston and MVP could have been World Champions? Sure. The thing is, I see their push getting wasted not because they were black, but simply because of WWE creative just sucking and being able to follow up with them. I could give thousands of examples of other people's push going down the drain and those people wouldn't be black.

Where is Airfixx? I always brought this up and he always disagreed with me. I believe since a black guy never held the WWE title, not World title, that the WWE is racist. Even if you put the World and WWE title on the same level in terms of prestige, WWE still does not make their champion black. Booker T was one, one black guy to ever make it to the top of the WWE. If people cannot see the racism possibility there, it if it true or not, you have got to be blind.

You are changing your argument and trying to come off as the intelligent one, when in fact you're entirely ignorant in this situation. Obviously there is a possibility that the WWE racially discriminates; there is also a possibility that I am Mike Chaos and you are Elton John. Your claim was that the WWE racially discriminates, and the fact that you're now softening your stance all but shows that you recognize it's absurdity.

I said he could be. I don't like him much, but he's certainly over enough to warrant at least a push higher up the card.
TBH the only Black Wrestler who has the potential to be World Champion right now imo is "The Pope" Deangelo Dinero. Maybe R-Truth can do something in the future but I can't stand his character.

I always thought the WWE was racist. I have mentioned that many times here. That is my personal opinion. As for whether or not I am right or not, I don't know for sure. I am just saying that the fact that a black man has never held the WWE title could somewhat justify that statement. It is a legitimate reason. Certainly not having a black WWE champion cannot prove the WWE isn't racist so one could assume they are with that reason. That is certainly the stance I am taking.

Again...where the hell is Airfixx, he would probably get pissed at me again.

Kofi is terrible. Don't joke. MVP on the other hand, was one of the biggest missed boats in the past 10 years. Guy was/is amazing on the mic. Fucking turn him heel again and send him to SD, damnit. Could even turn on Matt and reignite their past feud to get both of them somewhat relevant again.

I admit MVP was definitely a cool heel, but when they turned him face he just all of his swagger, now he's boring as hell.

I loved MVP's feud with Matt Hardy up until Hardy got hurt. The rivalry was restarted at WMXXIV but never really felt the same. Matt won the US belt from him and that was it. Still their 2007 feud was Feud of the Year practically. Loved the push up contest lol

I hate this argument and I think people look too far into it.

I don't think there are many black wrestlers that are at the right level to win a championship. I very much doubt it has to do with the colour of their skin.

I think if the WWE were racist, they wouldn't let a black guy hold ANY belt, period, and it's clear that black wrestlers have held belts on quite a few occasions.
