Langston has the potential to do well in the role, imo.
Without Stephanie McMahon, would Triple Haitch have only been an upper mid-card guy?
The question is: Would the WWE give a black wrestler a Bryan like push?
Except for Henry, none of them have gotten the necessary fan reaction to warrant a push to the main event. As a matter of fact, I think the next Black WWE Champion will be The Wig Splitter himself.
I tend to give Vince and the WWE the benefit of the doubt on this matter: all evidence to me suggests they've always wanted a black top babyface (my black Hulk Hogan analogy from two threads ago). Ahmed Johnson and Bobby Lashley: both had rockets strapped to their back, arguably before they were ready.
I think Langston might break the mold. Being a rookie who was involved in a storyline with the World Heavyweight Champion right off the bat is an incredible milestone.
He'd still would've been world champion, but not 13 times. He earned his way to the top, but used Stephanie to stay there.
This is what has always bugged me though:
He was a good worker who played a dastardly heel as the arrogant Blue Blood then got corrupted by Shawn Michaels by becoming a generate who got over then took over D-X and feuded with The Rock (both benefitted from fighting with each other), but once he turned heel again, how come he couldn't connect with the fan base again despite going over Austin, Maivia, and Show until the feud with Foley?
Brooke Hogan has been released from TNA Wrestling according to a report by F4WOnline.com.
No other details are available at the moment but according to the report, they received several confirmations that Brooke Hogan was fired by the company.

Awesome...Now it's Hulk Hogans turn to get sacked

Doubtful. Dixie likes having Hulk around.

I remember something like this being a topic for Mania. Basically you make a balanced (Can't be all main events) 8 match card using previous Summerslam matches. You must have a WWE, WHC, IC and Tag Title match on the card and you can't use any wrestler twice.
Obviously give reasons for you picks.![]()
Hopefully Hogan himself is promptly fired as well.

Fixed. Especially if you watch PPVs on a shaky connection.
- Darren Young
- Kofi Kingston
- R-Truth
- JTG (why he's still on the roster is a mystery)
- Brodus Clay
- David Otunga
- Titus O'Neil
- Big E Langston
- Ezekiel Jackson (why he's still on the roster is a mystery)
- Mark Henry
- Xavier Woods (in NXT, although I here that the WWE likes him a lot)
With Brooke Hogan's release from TNA, I guess we can figure what Hulk Hogan's meetings were with TNA board of directors concerning his future. I see the end of a polarizing era and the beginning of a new one in TNA.

If he gets fired now, this close to WrestleMania 30, he'll be right back on WWE tv. And then we'll HAVE to watch him. Probably Brooke too.
I'm okay with that. I don't want his career to end in TNA.
