I'm a bit late but it just came to me while I was burning one down and watching WM 15 again, but I'd like to have a Black Wrestling History thread in honor of February being Black History month. Who are some of your favorite black wrestlers, matches they've had, gimmicks, etc. And Happy BHM to all black anons of /pw/I'd like to start the thread off on a high note with Ron Killings being the first official black NWA World Heavyweight Champion, even though Bobo Brazil was technically the first.https://youtu.be/5-D_plpBfj8?si=Su9txNxVMO0t3eqC
My favorites:Booker TFarooqShelton Benjamin

>>19888109>Best of 2 Cold Scorpio | 3 HOURS of action | WWE Vaulthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2ze2-L_GTo
Always get a lot of shit for this take, mostly cause you people have only seen his WWF work. But Butch Reed is the best black wrestler of all time, in terms of great performances available on tape in both matches and angles. Also Doom > Harlem Heat, and I'm a big Harlem Heat fan. Less controversial take Simmons vs Vader is a great match and a super exciting finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FjN9-NcLe8And this is better than any podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF3joYWfHo0And Big E should have been the next top babyface after Cena.
its lynchian to watch ernie ladd as this seven foot tall tough guy black guy just work as a cowardly stooging heel, its great
