I was kind of hoping that through the years WWE would try to do a Black John Cena angle and have Darren Young be John Cena's long lost brother from another mother (Hey it worked for the Dudleys).
Can you imagine how different the John Cena storylines would have been. Perhaps this could have been the catalyst to the feud John Cena had with Bray Wyatt.
So instead of that lame story they used on Bray against Dean Ambrose about the big secret Bray knew.
They should have continued the Cena vs Bray feud and the big secret be Darren Young.
Maybe have DY mad at Cena for ignoring him.
Perhaps DY coming out kind of tainted it, so maybe he shouldn't have done that either and pretended to be straight.
This way the DY vs Cena feud could have continued on to that other program John's in Total Divas.
I would write it so that Darren Young is on the show and is scheming on Nikki Bella behind John Cena's back. :bron2
They certainly should not intertwine his sexuality with the ring anytime soon. WWE has proven to not have the sophistication to make progressive social commentary. Furthermore, a lot of the fan base also belongs to subsets that likely have homophobic attitudes.
Okay that last sentence piqued my curiosity, what subsets are you referring to there? I agree with your main statement anyhow (and quite possibly that last statement too).
Anyway, being a knock off of a successful character is almost never a recipe for success. Damien Mizdow is the exception to the rule and even that faces a real dilemma when the climactic split from The Miz comes.
Young was never over or that good, they're going to put him with tag team with Tyler Breezr and then make them a couple, later on there will be a split and Breeze dumps Young for the the man in the Bunny suit. A match for Tyler's love on a pole match will happen. Young beats the bunny and unmasks him, only to find out it was Adam Rose the entire time.
I'm pretty much ignoring the post, but I wish they never broke up the Abraham Washington/Titus/Young trio. I think they could have been a stable heel tag team (God knows the division could use any team that doesn't suck right now). Although at this point, as mean as it might be to stay, Young coming out of the closet was probably what's keeping him from being let go.
