They are okay, but the WWE only has one main roster heel, and it's the cowardly heel.

Shake something up for gently caress's sake.

The only rear end kicking heel is the rear end Kicker. So I guess we need a HHH title run.

I agree. I still hope since Rollins went from that to over babyface today, maybe one day they'll give Owens a good long babyface run.

Had one and he was a cowardly heel then too. Example: Look at him picking on this scrawny middle school child

Brock Lesnar isn’t a chickenshit heel so much as... he’s Smaug I guess

As a (long-suffering) black fan, I definitely see the concern of under-representation. Wrestling historically rarely pushes guys and women that look like me to the forefront unless they're so over they have no choice (The Rock, and 'he' almost didn't happen because of racial politics behind the curtain), are pushing them to prove they aren't racist in their booking choices (Ron Simmons, New Day, who basically have to be as good in the ring, entertaining, and memorably marketable as possible every appearance because they know they're a mere 'thumbs down' from Dunn away from that ride being done), or are able to safely shelve them because they kept them in middle of the road pushes and gimmicks.

Everyone kinda hates Roman Reigns these days, but as a guy who was basically driven off to a phase of puro exclusivity by Triple H's run and read all the stories of politicking, stifling careers (this isn't just fun and games, people are trying to provide for families here. Also, Booker T and the "People like You" promo), and utilizing his privilege to advance his own mythology in the game I'm really just happy it's not yet another white guy being groomed. It's annoying booking, but Vince saying "We're pushing this non-white guy no matter what, is a welcome choice, as is the reports that he's a cool dude who isn't trying to gently caress anyone over. gently caress it, I hope he pins Brock in 3 minutes.

As for the women, Ember Moon has the coolest move in North American wrestling since the Vertebreaker and she isn't at SummerSlam? Ridiculous.

Pushing Sara Del Ray to the exclusion of Norman Smiley.

It's crazy how under represented we are as far as WWE goes. Just this morning I was trying to think of who the last black World Champion was before the Rock and totally drew a blank. And I'm not counting Booker T's reign as the B-show champ.
