A little bit an Cryme Tyme's return and Elijah Burke/WWE and racial relations

[Destor]

Source: Wrestle Zone

According to sources, there was a directive several months ago to get more African-American faces on WWE television. The marketing department noted a major downturn in African-American viewership since 2006. This probably explains the decision to bring back Cryme Tyme out of nowhere.

At one time, Elijah Burke was supposed to move to Raw in a trade, but writer Brian Gewirtz never came up with an idea for him, and the plan was nixed.
DUNNO

[KingofOldSchool]

According to Michael Hayes, there weren't enough niggers in the company.

PRETTY MUCH WHY I POSTED THIS

[Anybody Thrilla]

As long as they don't bring back The Boogeyman.

[Anybody Thrilla]

But they probably SHOULD bring back Ahmed Johnson.

[BigDaddyCool]

As long as they don't bring back The Boogeyman.

FUCK YOU, I LOVE BOOGEN. :foc:

[Anybody Thrilla]

He's still on the intro video for ECW, so I dunno what's going on there.

[BigDaddyCool]

ECW doesn't count. They have Mike Adamle annoucing on it for fucksakes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well that's where all the black people besides Crime Time and Mark Henry are, so say what you will. Even still, Henry was on ECW this past week.

[BigDaddyCool]

Barrak was on Raw, he is black.

[BigDaddyCool]

Smackdown has Teddy Long, MVP, Mark Henry, and Coach...that is twice as many darkies than Raw.

[BigDaddyCool]

Is Layla black? Cause if she is, ECW has 3 times as many black people. I won't say african americans cause Kofi is techincally Jamacian, not American.

[thedamndest]

John Cena isn't black?

[St. Jimmy]

So THIS is why they keep pushing John Cena. It all makes sense now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ugh, I think I'm done with this thread.

[Theo Dious]

I seem to remember when Cryme Tyme was released there was a lot of "they'll be back" talk, so I didn't see that as "out of the blue" at all.

[thedamndest]

They shouldn't have been let go in the first place.

[McLegend]

So black people don't enjoy watching Big Daddy V and Mark Henry?

That's a surprise.

[TerranRich]

YES Layla is black. A hot one, too.

[thedamndest]

I thought she was Egyptian(?)

[Fox]

How about a rundown?

King Booker: Mis-used, jobbed out to the whities (Batista, Triple H), released

Shelton Benjamin: Pushed, forgotten about, moved to ECW

Mark Henry: Silent jobber to the main eventers

Boogeyman: Ate fucking worms and danced around like an African tribesman; a positive black role model?

MVP: Is ballin, but only on Smackdown

Teddy Long: Read "MVP"

Cryme Tyme: Pushed and then released when they were just getting hotter. Recently returned.

Ron Simmons: "DAMN!"

Yep. Not much to brag about for our African-American superstars.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe this will lead to the return of Marcus Cor Von.

[Lux]

YES Layla is black. A hot one, too.

I'm sorry, i must have missed the part on ECW this week were they said she was Latina, huh maybe they are wrong

[thedamndest]

Did Adamle say it?

[Lux]

Also MVP is ballin everywhere, your just blind

[TerranRich]

Wouldn't surprise me if Michael The Mike Adamle said Layla was a Latina.

[Fox]

Wouldn't surprise me if Michael The Mike Adamle said Layla was a Latina.


ADAMLE: "And here comes to the ring the lovely Layla, the gorgeous Jew Latina woman hailing from Spain."

TAZZ: "How is she Latina and Jewish?"

ADAMLE: "And of course Layla is with her Expose Extreme buddy, Barbie Kelly."

TAZZ: :|

[Xero]

He actually did say it.

I stand corrected and have learned my lesson from listening to Adamle ever again :(

[TerranRich]

IT'S THAT DAMNED MIKE THE ADAMLE!!

[TerranRich]

Yeah, getting your info from Adamle is WORSE than getting it from Wikipedia. But still more fun and more hilarious.

[NoRoolz]

Maybe this will lead to the return of Marcus Cor Von.

I hope so.

It's been too long since I've see THE POUUUNNNCEEE

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, getting your info from Adamle is WORSE than getting it from Wikipedia. But still more fun and more hilarious.

That calculating Cuban, Mike Knox!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Maybe this will lead to the return of Marcus Cor Von.

I was just thinking about him the other day. I'd love to see him return, even though he was probably my least favourite member of The New Breed. That stable was pretty cool, overall.

[DarKCentaur]

Actually, I could have sworn Tazz was the one that said she was Latina.

[TerranRich]

Jeez. Mike Knox, now Layla. Everybody's Latino in Adamle's eyes.

"That Menacing Mexican, KANE!!!!"

[RVDmark]

Cryme Time were released the first time for good reasons. That said I am glad they are back. From what I understand (and I've never pro-wrestled ever so those who do feel free to correct me) doing what Cryme Time did is one of the cardinal sins. Whilst Cade and Murdoch were not completely blameless and I would have loved to get them off my TV, Cryme Time needed a short lesson about their conduct.

Cryme Time acted like true professionals when they got released and put up a blog on their web site explaining what went wrong and admitting their mistake.

They didn't get released because of the colour of their skin, they got released for making a mistake and poor conduct.

yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo yo yo yoooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vince: Something's wrong, not enough niggers are watching RAW. And we all know that niggers will buy anything if it's stupid enough, so if the Shopzone is gonna sell anything other than Cena shirts, WE NEED NIGGERS

Next week on Raw:

[Rob]

They want black guys and yet Ron Killings is still working dark matches and D'Lo Brown can't get a job here?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Funky, that picture is distasteful to say the very least.

[PullMyFinger]

They need to get that one guy who breakdances in his matches in the indies. Human Tornado was his name I think?

He also no-sells the low blow. Amazing.

[PullMyFinger]

Sign Monty Brown again and have him do promos like this...

[TerranRich]

Hah, it's almost like Pop-up Videos for TNA. I wonder if he has any more videos like that, LOL.

I know. The white supremacist who drew it totally misspelled "cell".
