In your opinion, What are the "Good" and "Bad" qualities about this character?
2420840199_1.gif

Pros
Good In-ring Performer
Seems to be dedicated to his character.
Good Mic skills.

Carries the US and IC titles with pride and defends them in “Good” matches (vs) Others..
Delivers in every PPV that i’ve have seen him in so far.

Cons
Stuck in a gimmick that will Not allow him to appeal to the “Masses”.
They even allowed Rey to have a mean streak at one point in his career. Even Doink went crazy!
They just didn’t wanna stick it out with Kofi, (Him and Orton made for some good TV)

May fall in that MVP, Shelton Ben. "Category" or already has.
Good but not good enough to “Push”

    Pro: Talented, over as hell...fans love him, he's good on the mic AND can wrestle....rare these days (usually leads to a title run)

    Con: He's black..

    I hope yall not just now figuring out black wrestlers in the WWE don't succeed.................EVER!!!

    They rather have them do their thing, be over with the crowd, and that's it. There was a reason why Junk Yard Dog was the #2 guy behind Hogan at one point in the 80s and never sniffed a title match, not even an IC title match. That eventually went to Macho Man.

    JYD was hella over with the crowd, was Hogan's right hand man, always there for him, and he sold merchandise..........BUT............they didn't do anything with him past that. A JYD title run wouldn't have hurt anyone, but it was in the mist of the Hogan Era, so everyone had their place.

    Kofi and every other black wrestler who's gifted will not EVER get a Cena type run, and you'll have to ask Vince or someone higher up as to why.
