I liked Big E because at the time I thought he had the potential to become a future WWE champ and the first black champion. It's not his fault he doesn't have the look... and is black. Edited by T-Unit, Mar 8 2015, 02:51:07 PM.

And yeah, it does bother me that there's never been a fully black WWE champion. I'm not asking for a 6 month reign, but just give a guy like Mark Henry a month with the belt so this glaringly bad thing can finally be put to rest. It's 2015, you'd think the biggest wrestling promotion could have had at least one black champion by now. |

Jim Ross recently shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Bill DeMott. You can check out his blog here -- JRsBarBQ.com ''Bill DeMott, formerly the head coach at the WWE Development Center, has resigned amid controversy even though none of the allegations against have been proven to be true at this time. It’s been way too long since I was in Orlando to observe that operation but I was nothing but impressed with it the many times I was there. I even thought at one time of volunteering to move there and help in a more hands on manner I liked it so much. Some people who have never been that involved in organized sports often times take stereotypical locker room talk or hard coaching in a negative way when that technique of motivating athletes to become their best was the norm in the past. I vividly remember some ‘lectures’ that I received from my late father after arriving home on a Friday night after high school football games in which I played. This whole matter of the allegations against DeMott somewhat reminds me of how Adrian Peterson disciplined his child by using a switch on the child that got AD in major trouble. Obviously, times have changed because my Mom & Dad would both have gotten in big time trouble if spanking or using a switch on their only child was treated as it is today. I’m not condoning child abuse in any form whatsoever but one has to wonder just what is the proper method to discipline children in today’s society? One thing I know is that most parents who want to be their children’s best pal often times regret that philosophy later in life. But I digress. Bill DeMott was a hard nosed, demanding coach somewhat along the lines of men like Bill Watts, Verne Gagne, Ole Anderson, Eddie Graham and others who trained some of the biggest stars in the business but in different eras Certainly DeMott wasn’t sort on passion but, according to some that have accused Bill of less than professional behavior, based on today’s standards, and that’s what we all have to abide by in every walk of life, was abusive them. I like being somewhat demanding on rookies because it has to be ascertained if the prospect truly wants to be in the business or not. It’s better to find out early so that the prospects in question can move on, train elsewhere, or simply move to the next phase of their professional lives. This I do know and we see it virtually every day in sports and entertainment as well. Younger people are noticeably different than the same age individuals were not that many years ago. This generation of 20 something’s often times bring with them complex personalities and at times a feeling of entitlement and a certain level of defiance. These traits often times complicate the training or coaching in a variety of sports as well as in sports entertainment. Let me make this clear, I do not condone abusing any one in any ‘arena’ of life whatsoever but in challenging endeavors such as WWE, NFL, etc where mental and physical toughness are required, it seems to continue to be increasingly challenging to train potential talents in a manner that today’ s society accepts similar to the Adrian Peterson situation which I can identify with wholeheartedly. I even had to go pick my own switch to be disciplined with back in the day. I’m a huge Adrian Peterson fan but AD, not AP, please, has to learn to discipline his children when they need it in another more acceptable manner that’s seen as OK in today’s world. If the goal was for some of the disgruntled ‘whistle blowers’ or “victims” was to get DeMott replaced, then they succeeded and now let’s see where else it goes as the next shoe to drop may indicate the true motive of the accusers. This I do know, Bill DeMott was a hard working, die hard wrestling guy whose track record of developing talents is hard to ignore. Was he tough and demanding? Absolutely he was but that doesn’t necessarily make him the person that some are attempting to make him out to be. He was in a role that brings with it naturally a level of angst and controversy at times especially from talents who do not get “live their dream” when all is said and done. Always remember this….there are two sides to every story and don’t convict and/or execute any one until all the info is on the table. Rushing to judgment on any aspect of this matter or any is a mistake. Am I wrong to think that the longer a person is champion in wrestling is more significant that how may times someone has won AND lost a specific title? IE Bruno’s multi year run is more impressive than another man winning a title multiple times IMO.'' |

And I'm not saying we need an affirmative action champion, because I think a guy like Mark Henry has the makings to be a great champion. When I think about Henry, I can't remember one thing he's done outside of wrestling that was bad press. Big Show was accused of flashing his dong, Swagger got caught with weed, Austin beat Debra, etc. but I've never heard of Henry doing something immoral and Henry has been with WWE for 20 years. So, how Henry doesn't fit the stereotype of a champion in WWE eyes, I'll never know. |

Its not going to happen until WWE grows up... I mean, they had an NXT trainer who abused the talent, who made a lot of disparaging comments towards WWE's employees in general. Hopefully, the more the media gets pulled into these scenarios, the more WWE learns what's acceptable and what's not. |

Mark Henry really deserved to win his match back when he fought John Cena at Money in the Bank. He proved he was on par with someone like John Cena, and yet still received the short end of the stick. |

i agree with this 100%. I bought that ppv because I thought Henry was going to win, but that was Cena Wins LOL time. I mean, for fucks sake Cena's elbow at the time was the size of a softball and they still refused to have him drop the title. Henry-Bryan would have been a fine match at SummerSlam for Bryan's first WWE title win and WWE still could have done the Authority angle. #frustrating |

I don't even think the media would care to report outright racism and sexism and other "isms" in WWE. It would be giving WWE too much attention, which it otherwise doesn't deserve. WWE is one place where Al Sharpton and Jesse "Hi" Jackson could bend Vince over a barrel and I would actually like them for once. But Vince paid Sharpton off that time he was a guest host, so he's already been "hustled" |

When you look back at some of the booking results the past few years, it's maddening. There's a reason why WWE is in the hole they currently are.

I believe some good can come out of the media... well sometimes, anyway.  Bill DeMott would arguably still be a trainer right now if people hadn't spoken out against him, and if it wasn't for the help of media/news outlets (mainly wrestling ones) to propel this situation further, then I seriously doubt anything would have changed. So at least when it comes to wrestling journalism, there are some people out there who genuinely seem to care about these kinds of issues, and will be more than happy to spread the news when something like this is taking place. |

Of course, we're still waiting on a British & English-born WWE Champion, too... |

The British Bulldog as Intercontinental Champion will have to suffice.  Wasn't it Kevin Powers or somebody from WWE who stated that Davey Boy Smith should have been a world champion? |

Well, that's not due to the color of their skin as to why WWE hasn't had an English champ. British Bulldog could have done it, Regal was always going to be a heel/comedy character, and Barrett is injury prone and never wins non-title matches. |

Regal was due to get a big push in 2008 but he lost it to drugs. |
| Not changing this signature until John Cena wins a world title. | |
