10 Most Shocking Allegations Made Against Vince McMahon
2. The WWE And Race
A long-time accusation against the WWE is that they are racist towards black wrestlers. Virgil was quite clearly Ted DiBiases slave, Cryme Tyme was a tag team of two street thugs who would dance and rob, Michael Hayes drunkenly offended Mark Henry at the WrestleMania 24 after party and Ricardo Rodriguez recently accused Triple H of degradingly nicknaming him Bumblebee after The Simpsons Latin character. And what about that Triple H feud with Booker T in 2003? Somebody like you doesnt get to be a world champion. On Raw, McMahon shouted Keep it up, my n***a! to Booker T for no reason at all, just to say hello. Former WWE writer Dan Madigan added that Vince once told Puerto Rican Carlito to spic it up, whilst Kamala claimed that officials often kicked him out of the dressing room and underpaid him for his Summerslam 92 match against The Undertaker. The PW Torch believes that his private jet has a racially offensive nickname and he tells black wrestlers to be more black. There have been so many allegations made. From the current roster, athletes with great potential and ability like Kofi Kingston, Big E Langston and R-Truth are under-pushed. However, McMahon has given major title runs to The Rock, Mark Henry, Booker T and Bobby Lashley showing that hes open to a black champion. Perhaps he feels the current bunch is unable to connect with the audience, or is full of mid-carders at best. Either way, its a heavy accusation and theres at least some evidence there that Vinnie Mac has faith in African-Americans.
