Now I just want them to have a Hooper X gimmick. "For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, babyface or heel, was introduced - usually by white bookers and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as negroes. Now, in our team, The New Day, we don't have none of that bullshit. We're descendants from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherf***ers were still hiding in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. We're strong role models that a young black member of the WWE Universe can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of sports entertainment. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary." *Raises Hand* "What's a Nubian?" I so wish I could repeat what goes after this, but I don't want a warning.

I've spoken about this gimmick before so won't get into it again now. All I'll say is, it isn't entertaining, so it fails.

I think the problem with the New Nation is it was around the same time as the whole Ferguson mess. So they didn't want a group of black guys running around as heels at the time. Hence why they got cold feet on it so quickly. This is why I wish we had the private WWE(F) back..... that would be the PERFECT time to do it. They would've been tweeners. Some would've saw them as heels while others would probably see them as faces. Hell, a New Nation never made more sense than then. That would've been bad news. Like, fights breaking out in the arena and fans trying to get in the ring type bad news.

Yeah, the WWE needs people playing off very real current racial tensions for heat about as much as it needs a terrorist wrestler, or a guy with an Ebola gimmick.

People are overthinking this. like all the guys and gals in the WWE, New Day are about having fun and putting smiles on the faces of the WWE universe
