Ya know Lawler, the guy that beat the crap outta Andy Kaufman in the ring and literally scared him so bad Kaufman would almost go into seizures when Lawler was mentioned afterward. (Johnny Carson used to pick on Kaufman whenever he was a guest, "Hey Look! It's Jerry Lawler in the audience!" or "Hey Andy, did ya see Jerry backstage? Cause ya know he's here tonight.")
That was all scripted between Kaufman and Lawler. It was just one long gag by Kaufman. He had it planned from the beginning when he started wrestling women.

I just dont get these type of racial attacks. 12 percent of America is black. Is sports not over 12 percent black overall?
Using the theory that something should be 50/50 is just dumb.

Strange. I watched some of Raw last night and it looks like the big tease is a future matchup between Roman Reigns (a member of the Anoa'i family of Asian descent) and Bobby Lashley (African-American).

Maybe they're mad because the fans are rejecting him

But that’s what makes WWE’s current white dynasty somewhat disturbing.
When people start worrying about diversity in fake wrestling, I think it’s time to acknowledge that the civil rights struggle is over.

Vince is too hardheaded for his own good.
He sees Roman as his big face of the future and doesn’t want to give us on that.
He tries to forget that Roman’s cousin, The Rock, got the same treatment when they tried to smash him over as a face. They gave him a heel run for about a year and he became the hottest thing in the company not named Austin.

What’s funny or sad, depending on your definition, is that accused racist Bill Watts recognized years ago that black athletes dominated most other sports and that there needed to be a black champion to help bring credibility to the sport and put asses in seats.
It worked when he had JYD in Mid-South.
Less so when he had Ron Simmons as his champion in WCW.

Roman has about a millionth of the personality of the Rock. He is boring, a bad talker, and nowhere near the wit of the Great One.

Rock is a generational talent but sure as shite didn’t look like it as a classic babyface in 1996-1997 WWF.
Roman probably won’t be the next Rock but they are hoping for him to be the next Cena. That plan is failing miserably. Turn him heel, let him grow, see if you can at least make the boos work for him.

Do other races watch WWE? Is it not still just a good business decision to market to your largest demographic?

As long as they dont discover swimming

Average fan is a white male but they have huge international followings in some countries. Especially India, hence Great Khali and Jinder Mahal getting airtime.

I mean, the kid finished p2 his first Daytona 500, has another top 10, and I think has only one DNF.
That ain't half bad for a guy still with the rookie stripes
Plus he's a good, humble guy to boot.
