    Ok so, I want Melo vs ford for a title.
    I loved fight forever, but yep. Lacking content. Let's also talk about how wwe has released games with characters before they changed too. But aew needed more modes, more options on release. Dlc was fine to release cuz it's a fighting game. That's how they do. They just gotta do better next time. I want the new game to be similar in gameplay, but with more. I still play it

    Really annoys me that this whole "race" thing is even coming up. The requirements are so picky it's stupid.
    When was the last Japanese male wrestler featured in a PLE?
    When was the last Asain Male wrestler?
    When was the last British Male Wrestler?
    Stop making it so specific and just understand that having people just for the sake of filling a quota isn't healthy.

      Has everything to do with race. Black people are expected to support non-Black merchandise, but it is never reciprocated. Target or any retail store proves my point because the Black character merchandise is always on clearance. Lashley's life achievements were undeniable, so WWE was forced to push him as a main eventer, and unlike Brock Lesnar, they still made him lose to inferior talent. Carmelo Hayes was pushed to be the next premiere talent but since putting him on Smackdown, he has lost matches and needed to cheat to win. The answer here is that Vince McMahon had his problems, but he was fairer than Nick Khan and HHH, a man who would never count the lights for a Black wrestler even if they had an impeccable record. If you say the Rock, I am going to layeth the smacketh down on you because he is Canadian/Samoan.

    As a black man I don’t or never thought it was a race thing. I think we gotta have black talent in position to fill those roles and we don’t have that right now. We don’t have any black Bron Breakkers or Roman Reigns at the moment. I think guys like Melo and Trick will get to those rolls and the Obi guy down in NXT now can definitely become a main event star but we have to wait till that develops. Nobody wants to see Apollo Crews in a main PPV right now just cause he is black.

      The Bianca run has had ups and downs she had a long run but losing in almost record time to Becky damaged her character permanently, the women’s tag division is a mess tbh all of the tag divisions are currently a mess and a heel turn from one of them is so obvious it’s a for gone conclusion (could still be good if done right though). Black and Latino talent right now are either supporting cast or undercard and it’s not from a lack of talent. I’m hoping they do something with the people they currently have on the roster rather than waiting to call up more people The New Day are doing something, Melo’s doing something, Cedric’s still with the company and idk where he is same as Ashante, The Profits you could still have a singles run and be in a tag team WWE will never understand that logic for whatever reason, Naomi’s kinda spinning her wheels a bit.

    the skin color of the talents on the main roster is not an issue at all the only issue is even bringing it up. when a black male talent gets over and gets a compelling storyline behind them they will have those spots. with the amount of black talent coming up in NXT right now, IF you want to bother making this a issue i really don’t think it will be in a few years.
    for me though skin color means nothing just talent and charisma, whoever has those deserves to be in the top spots, it’s as simple as that.

      Carmelo has not been in a 1-on-1 match on any PLE in 2024. He was in the Rumble and Money in the Bank, and that's it. Street Profits have been in some tag and multi-man matches but not singles like the video outlined. Trick and Oba will probably be ignored once they make the main roster like everyone else. Heck, Trick was replaced by Ethan Page the second he was available.

    There’s a Samoan dynasty at the top of the card or does it have to be darker skin wrestlers specifically? Nia Jax, Roman Reigns, the New Blood line, Jey Uso is now IC champ. Move Trick up to the main roster if you want to tick boxes but we’ve seen a ton of talent at the top of the card and that’s the key word. No one is holding down top “talent” regardless of ethnic origin. So show me talent for the top of the card because if Bobby Lashley is a benchmark I’ll show you a Trick Williams who trumps Bobby in terms of promo ability and in ring (2024) ability.

Finn Balor is Irish, Drew is Scottish. Nia Jax, Roman, Solo and Fatu are Samoan and the hosts of the show are black women. I don't see an issue.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are in the tag division. Kofi and Xavier seem to be heading towards something but I think they’ll string that out. They completely gave up on Omos. I think the only other black male superstars on the main roster is R-Truth and Apollo Crews(completely forgot about Apollo originally).

    For 1, PLEs are no PPVs. PLEs are just Raw/ SD made to look bigger due to their location and perception.
    2nd, Right now WWE doesn't have any Black male talent that qualifies for the ICWs quantifiers but NXT is full of them, Melo is doing good, the women are killing it. Samantha, Alicia, Byron are doing great. The future is bright IMO.

    WWE pushes Black wrestlers (typically men) as bafoons and comedy acts. Example: R-Truth and the New Day. Truth is a fucking jester. The New Day, while a great team, have been presented as the smiling, happy-go-lucky babyfaces for the past 10 years. Nobody really takes R-Truth seriously, and probably never will. And nobody takes New Day seriously as WHC or Undisputed Championship material. So, unless WWE hire someone new and push them to the moon, this will be a problem for years to come
