The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the reason why Kofi Kingston is getting such a big push right now is because WWE officials feel that the company needs an African-American baby face towards the top of the card. After several other talents that were selected for the spot didn't work out the way the company had hoped, the decision was made to give Kingston the big push.
It's also being reported that Jack Swagger's push has been slowed down, and possibly even halted, as WWE officials feel that he is not panning out the way the company had hoped.
As far as Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are concerned, they are getting their respective pushes right now because Sheamus is the work out partner of Triple H, and McIntyre is well liked by both Triple H and Shawn Michaels
why cant they push more then one african american wrestler at a time
why cant we have a heel african american wrestler get a push like m.v.p.
they never should of turn him face in the first place.
and then when dude was starting to get over as a face they stop pushing him and started jobbing him out
Even when Hogan was running things, at least you didnt see the Nasty Boys getting top solo pushes, or even top tag-team pushes. Now you got dudes get title shots, which they obviously wont win, just because they're someones workout partner....smh
smh @ Kofi getting a push just because he's black. C'mon man. At least with Lashley, and Booker T, it didnt seem so obvious. But all of sudden, Kofi drops his accent and then two weeks later, he's battling top guys.
Its like the WWE realized, "oh crap, we really suck right now, and if something happens to HHH, Cena, etc, were in trouble". So they wanna panic and push the young guys while ignoring the guys who've been there for a little bit. No reason someone like Santino cant be a semi-top character.

R-Truth and Shelton are quality black wrestlers. they should bring back Elix Skipper too and feud with Rey Rey or something. Plus he can work with Sydal, Christian and all the smaller guys.
When i say quality rassler i mean in all facets.. not just doing high jumps and a bunch of spots.. shelton cant promo, cant work a crowd.. cant get people into his fukking matches unless hes jumping off a ladder.
kofi does everything shelton does.. better even.. his promo is getting there and he can get the crowd into his matches.. the other negro rasslers should take notice and try to learn..
kufi also wears a blackface logo on his trunks proudly
.....sucka ass ol "i bought these new step and fetchit trunks to wear on ppv and i ain't even on it" ass nygga

theres not a whole lot a quality black rasslers guys.. kofi is the only one.
mvp isnt over
truth is over but he's too old to give a serious uppercard push.
maybe they need to start opening more wrestling schools in the hood or something because black rasslers arent that good most of the time.
roidhead batista was push in his late 30 no reason why truth cant get one
mvp when he debut on raw f@ckin with orton he was gettin a reaction but they just ended after a like two weeks
It took alot of work to get Kofi here and almost two years of protection. He's not really that impressive...they just got Orton laying down for him. We'll see how consistent this stays the second half of 2010.

as much as i like ron killings.. hes no dave batista.
mvp had hot segments with randy at the start, but he couldnt sustain it. His push was dropped because he simply did not have what it takes.
Kofi does.
TNA has cornered the market on minority rasslers if you ask me. Kurt and Terry are gonna try to shape them into actual drawing superstars.

umm..yes they did...mid 90s wcw nasty boys did
say what you want about the kliq but nobody is worse than that than hogan...
Y'all crazy talking bout MVP ain't over. Even when he came out on Raw for his debut he got mad cheers. SMH @ his whole booking. Anyone with sense could book him and gotten him over big as a heel. They fukked it up.
