The Question of Representation

[Lethal]

For what Jinder mentioned? Yeah I think there's room for improvement.

They were all shit?

South-east Asia encompasses Japan and they're very well represented. Dakota pre-injury was well represented.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Isn’t she from New Zealand?

Isn’t she from New Zealand?

Yeah lol. Forgot to put that in. Australia technically part of SE Asia, and well, Bronson Reed, Rhea, Grayson.

it absolutely does not include Japan, Jinder was talking about South Asians 0 india, pakistan, banglidesh etc.

also did all of them all suck or were they all given almost no chance to succeed/saddled with jobber bullshit to fill a checkbox ? Probably depends on how you see it and which talent.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

In Jinders case

He blew

Jinder: sucked
Shanky: sucked
Veer: sucked
Jeet Rama: REALLY sucked
Guru Raaj: probably sucked but he was never on TV enough to prove he didn't
Kavita Devi: didn't look awful in-ring but that's about it

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Oh and

Sanga: sucked

 

[Dale]

Veer had something there, i'll forever believe that.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Jinder was also a serviceable mid carder but was also used a token minority push, especially during his world championship run

I will argue that Match 7 of this best-of-7 series between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes should be on Bad Blood as the first 6 matches have all been out-fucking-standing.

But when we talk about how how black men need to be on the PLE cards in singles matches we need to ask the New Day Question... WHO? WHO? WHO?

Here's the list of guys on the roster:

Raw Black Male wrestlers:
Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Xavier Woods.

Smackdown Black Male wrestlers:
Angelo Dawkins, Apollo Crews, Ashante "Thee" Adonis (on NXT now), Carmelo Hayes, Cedric Alexander (on NXT now), Montez Ford

Free Agent Black Male wrestlers:
Omos


Just looking at the list. Kofi, Woods, Dawkins, and Ford are all tag guys so they wouldn't be in a singles match on a WWE PLE. Cedric/Ashante are low card guys now in NXT and as such wouldn't be on a WWE PLE. Truth was out with a (kayfabe?) injury for a month or so but he's been in a tag since before Mania. The only singles guy is Melo who is getting his footing now with this relatively hot feud with Andrade. Hell I'm worried they'll break up New Day and do Kofi vs. Woods just to appease the people complaining about this (but that'd be worse than keeping them together if you ask me).

Remember when Jinder cut that great promo on Seth Rollins and everyone wanted him to be world champion.

Yeah this logic still makes no sense to me sounds like people want people to be booked cuz of race and not cuz of talent or overness

Well what's the reason for barely utilizing Lashley? The fans adored Bobby, and WWE had to nix a heel turn for him because he was too over, and he is talented enough, little bland (but this is the era of bland charisma vacuum wrestlers). I'm not saying its because HHH is racist that Lashley was barely utilized once HHH took over, but just that he is the perfect reason why people think HHH is racist.
