Meltzer noted that the company is directly addressing criticism surrounding Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s track record. Specifically, some have claimed WWE under Levesque hasn’t pushed Black male talent consistently enough. In response, WWE is doubling down on a strategy to showcase diversity and physical presence.>“There was a five-day tryout in Orlando this week,” Meltzer wrote. “The idea was very much to focus on black males and bodybuilders due to the criticism that Paul Levesque doesn’t push black males.”Meltzer also confirmed a major shift in WWE’s recruitment philosophy: college athletes are no longer the top priority. Instead, the company is returning to indie roots, with names like William Regal and Gabe Sapolsky back out scouting the scene.>“They’ve done another about-face… regarding less college athletes and more indie talent,” Meltzer explained. “They are looking for people with the right kind of body and want people who can do promos.”Here’s the list of male talent who participated in the Orlando tryout:>Starboy Charlie>Leon Lokombo>LaBron Kozone>Manny Lo>Jariel Rivera>Manny House>Jack Pasquale>Blade Brown>Tyler Jordan>Jeremiah Lakheani>James Karnik>Bruss Hamilton>Ben Finnesseth>Bhupinder GujjarSources also suggest that many of these names—particularly those with prior experience in promotions like West Coast Pro, XDPW, and Prestige—could end up fast-tracked to NXT TV in a matter of weeks.

>bending the knee to twitter and redditCooked industry
Huh? Why?Nash is recruiting talent now?
>Bhupinder GujjarWhat the fuck
>>19696042>Orlando has more black tryouts than whiteNo shit Sherlock Retard, you and Dave can go fuck yourselves together
>>19696042Watch the ratings crater. No one likes niggers in wrestling and there hasn't been a single fully-black wrestler to be a draw.
>>19696042>the company is returning to indie roots,
>>19696042Nothing wrong with hiring more blacks. The good ones will get pushed and the ones who can't cut it will be let go, same as now.
>>19696042Seriously, arent these the guys in NXT that were ready to be called up to main shows? I honestly doubt WWE is going to pivot away from the big guys and focus on these young guys anymore than they wouldve with any other group on NXT guys. Dave just slapped a click bait title on an article.
When do you think it's going to be revealed to be a clause in Liv Morgan's contract
>>19696073Kek what an ugly mtf
>>19696042Most of the wwe (and aew, and everyone else's) roster is brown nothings with no gimmick and no ability to work a match or cut a promo. The answer isn't MORE black and browns. Holy shit look at NXT how the fuck could anyone say some stupid shit like that. Clearly WWE loves nogs.Shit we're supposed to pretend RIGHT NOW that hobbs is some massive loss for aew and wwe needs to hire him immediately instead of another mouthbreathing idiot who should never have been allowed on TV.
>>19696042Paul doesn't realize that they were shitting on WWE for pushing too many blacks just a few years ago when Big E and Bobbo were at the top of the card. They just shit on WWE regardless. That's what the bitter insecure smarks do. I thought he understood this.
>>19696042ZAMN!!
>>19696042He won.
If true, HHH is as online as Tony and that's hilarious. This is a good thing though.
>>19696042HHH craves BBC
>>19696144>niggers not included>reigns and heyman AND cody are in the shot??????????
>>19696042>we need more negro wrestlers>we don't need to focus on wrestling content>more advertisement time is neededYup, winning strategy
What the fuck are we supposed to do now they've made it illegal to be a white man?
>>19696042We’re about to get more D-vons aren’t we?I REALLY wanna know who was racist against R-Truth if this is where we are now. He should be flogged.
>>19696154WWE is a show for women.Women do not care about wrestling, they just wanna see the chocolate man pose.This is the future you musclefaggots chose.
>>19696154Yes, surely more heckin’ bangerinos will do the trick!
>>19696042They're in a full force push of making strong inroads with the black community through special recruitment programs
>>19696042>WWE is doubling down on going out of business
>>19696179We need real men back. Guys like Bill Watts and Dick Murdoch would have used their klan connections to spook the spooks out of the territory
>>19696042Jamaa Fanaaka liked this post
Great news, now the codester needs to retire and become a full time actor so that I can stop watching.
>>19696125nah thats me
>>19696179NXT faggots literally just want to watch black men flex and yell in the ring for two hours lol
Maybe they can stop giving big e the Daniel Bryan treatment where they’re bribing doctors to say he’s too injured to work.
If you look at the various recruits they've had, the demographics are:Men:65% Black men 30% White men5% other menWomen:60% White blonde females30% Black females10% other womenWe knew what Ace and Vince were into - blonde female models, tall bodybuilders and some football players. We knew what they weren't into - Asian's and flippy indy guys.We know what Triple H is into - female bodybuilders and flippy indy guys (or at least he thinks that's what the IWC wants). He doesn't like men with long hair and he does not like anyone who is bigger than him. If WWE keeps hiring at their current rates, WWE's roster going to be mostly Black men and White blonde females along with whoever they want from CMLL/AAA and joshi companies. One thing I can say is that it is a waste of time for WWE to try to appeal to AEW style fans. And that's because their wrestling preferences are based around hating WWE. It's why none of them watched Black and Gold NXT and now fawn over the same people from there they didn't watch.

Tony should go in the opposite direction and offer 5 year deals to college athletes.
>>19696042>I love double double DEI.
>>19696042So WWE is going to crash and burngood.
>>19696702People who watch WWE don’t watch because it’s good, they watch because of name and habit.Jingle a celebrity or a nostalgic name in the fans face and that’s all that’s needed.

this company has a fetish for black men kek blacks are nothing but objects apparently
I thought this thread was a shitpost with a bunch of morons falling for the bait with names like Leon Lokombo and LaBron Kozone but it's real
>>19696042This company is no longer for people like me
>WWE panders to blacks>AEW is starting to pander to spicsSo what is the white man's promotion?
>>19696929JCW
>>19696053Seems like those “Triple K” memes got to Noseman’s heart, cuck mentality
The only black wrestlers who actually deserved a bigger push than they got were Ron Simmons, R Truth and Booker T.Kofi Kingston did not deserve his poverty title run.
>>19697035Didn’t Kofi get over only because he outlasted everyone in a gauntlet match, and then WWE started doing shitloads of gauntlet matches for the next few years in hopes someone will get as over as Kofimania?
>>19696069What about Booker t?
>>19696042YOu'll finna know it!
>>19696042>per Dave Meltzer via WON
>>19697066He was never a draw, literally the last champion on a dying brand, they give him the WCW title as a thank you for sticking around. Name one time people had interest in a Booker T match besides his 'Mania and SummerSlam matches with Triple H? People give Triple H shit for always working with people more over than him but I think in this instance Booker might be the only example of Hunter making someone look better than they are as opposed to the opposite happening.
Starboy is the only one I’ve heard of.
>Evolve is full of White guys who are being called up to NXT fastDave unironically needs to study the product more.
Is Dave retarded? 80% of male talent on NXT is black and they just called up the 3 most prominent black wrestlers in fucking years with TWO of them immediately being pushed into the main event scene. Not even to mention Lash Legend going straight into War Games.
>>19696042Who loves BBC more, vince or Eri?

>>19696042>have predominantly white fans>we need to push black wrestlers more because of backlashSure. That'll fix it. Because white fans, some with families, could totally relate to hood rats, the struggle of a black person and gang violence.When do people stop advocating for another race that they aren't even a part of?
Nigger rhymes aren't selling anymore, everyone is tired of niggers. Even niggers are tired of niggers.

>>19696042WWE should just push the best wrestlers regardless of color. and yes, that can be black guys, but it shouldn't result in affirmative action pushes.if we're being frank, a lot of the black guys they had until very recently honestly were just not fit for a big push.they had velveteen dream until they didn't, and when they no longer did, it threw a wrench into things. who were they gonna push? montez ford? apollo crews? kofi again? give me a break.i like a triple K joke as much as the next guy but until trick, oba and je'von were called up, all of whom are fantastic, the quality of black talent just wasn't where it needed to be for any of them to get a big push.it's very stupid to overcorrect and try to collect a bunch of brothas because smarks on twitter called HHH racist. we're starting to see the negative effect of that already - the new giganigga they put on NXT to replace oba is completely dimeless.
>>19696929Pandering to spics just means pandering to white trashAEW is for people who say nigger. WWE is for niggers. Simple as. You have to be white (in spirit) to appreciate current Dustin Rhodes.
>>19696042>>19696051>>19696053they want to make the WWE more popular in yurop due to the yuro tour not selling out and yuropean men love black men
americans worship blacks because they remind them of themselves so it's becoming a patriotic blm promotion

>>19700807lmao aew is the most reddit promotion in world story, not even PWG was that reddit
big kev finally got a job with wwe talent relations
WWE trying to get more women to watch their show
WWE trying to get more Indians to watch their show
WWE trying to get Kevin Nash to watch their show
>>19696042They have plenty of black talent now with guys like Oba Femi, Trick Williams and Je'von Evans. The real problem for them is finding and training good-looking, tall white bois which is the bread-and-butter of a wrestling promotion in the west. OVW produced Cena, Lesnar, Orton, Batista, Ziggler, Zack Ryder, Cody, etc. Their recruiting system post-FCW has been a total disaster.
>>19696042LOL it is all already too non-White as it is. Once it becomes too black it is going to kill the company, no one is going to watch an negro product.
>>19696330Why? Because he said the truth of the matter?
>>19696042yeah, that's totally the answer, trips. you just need more diversity and everything will be alright! unless one of those black guys is a good booker who is willing to let haitch take credit for his work, it's not gonna help.
>>19696310>jews take over WWE>start relentlessly trying to encourage white women to fuck spooksSTOP SUPPORTING THESE FILTH
>>19696929NWA. always was.
Trick, Bouncy, and Oba are good. They don’t need the diversity push. This is pretty cringe. Fuck all this pandering bullshit.
>>19702856100% true, NXT has not produced a single star performer. NXT is the ultimate black hole of failure, even worse than TNA because at least TNA has had some kind of success in the past. NXT is basically a corporate shindie that remains irrelevant despite having ENTIRE COMPANIES fed to them as jobbers.
