Wouldn't a trio of white people doing the exact same gimmick pretty much by definition more be a mega-church gimmick instead of a black church one? Really the big thing that throws that interpretation out is those vignettes and their Titantron, if the people in them were more varied you could probably pass it off as that but, y'know, they aren't. Mega church gimmick would be more hucksterism (oh man Mike Murdock would be an AWESOME wrestling gimmick!), but not have specific elements of singing/dancing/delivery that are associated with the black church.

On the topic of black wrestlers, I was delighted to see Jay Lethal is only 29. I assumed he would be older as he has been around a while. Would WWE ever sign him? The man is talented.

Yeah Jay started very early, and is extremely talented and charismatic. I think it's a possibility he could be a future signee.

Maybe that should have been used at the beginning.

They are going to be heel soon. It's been foreshadowed and it's not the least bit subtle. Well, the apparently-face Ascension (not confirmed, but the promos give off that vibe.) do need someone to face off with. I could very easily get behind a face Goth Road Warriors vs fun-loving heels program.

Mike Murdock as a wrestling gimmick is an incredible idea. I spent many an afternoon smoking left-handed cigarettes and watching him in my buddy's dorm room, my mouth agape.
