I just want to point out Bobby Lashley's incredible winning percentage in the WWE. He had a higher winning percentage than John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Bill Goldberg, Bruno Sammartino, and even Hulk Hogan! In the modern era, only the Ultimate Warrior has won a higher percentage of his matches in the WWE than Bobby Lashley. He's the biggest "what if" of this topic to me. source: www.profightdb.com/wrestlers-with-highest-wwwf-wwf-wwe-win-percentages.html

The WWE is keeping/kept so many talented black wrestlers down. Case in point, an entire Survivor Series 2009 team. Kofi, MVP, Mark Henry, Christian, R-Truth. All being held down and it's a damn shame. I lol'd. Reminds me of Owen joining the nation

To think, all that discrimination just because he came from WCW. I'm firmly in the camp who believe Booker should have went over Trips at Wrestlemania 19. There was no reason for Triple H to win that night, but letting him effectively killed all the Book's momentum.

I don't remember any Asian champions Well, technically Antonio Inoki has been WWF champion, it just never gets recognized. In Kayfabe... Yokozuna I guess. Granted they never seemed to settle on what he was, as I've seen him billed as from Polynesia. The only true racism I've seen is during Hulk Hogan's 5th reign where he did all those interviews on the set of Thunder In Paradise saying that the WWF championship should never be held by a "jap" (referring to Yokozuna).

Which reminds me, didn't Harley Race in WCW once tell Ron Simmons that "people like you" should be carrying his bags?

if it wasnt for hogans 4 year run in the 80s i think jyd woulda been champ.he was hella over especially with the kiddies. In the very first WrestleMania, JYD beat Greg Valentine by count-out, thus not winning the IC title, but the crowd still went absolutely apoplectic. I still think it is the single greatest crowd reaction for a face count-out win, heel still keeps the belt match in recorded history. Which says much about JYD's appeal.

I had NO idea that "apoplectic" was a word. Now I have a new word to bust out when I'm feeling fancy ;D

He's the biggest "what if" of this topic to me. source: www.profightdb.com/wrestlers-with-highest-wwwf-wwf-wwe-win-percentages.htmlto derail slightly just thought some of these winning percentages were kinda funny ------------------------- Steve Blackman 58.1081% 222 Barry Darsow 57.8431% 102 Steve Austin 57.0850% 247 Candice Michelle 56.9444% 72 The Rock 56.7376% 423 Kelly Kelly 56.4417% 163 ---------------- The Undertaker 61.2565% 573 Luke Williams 61.1111% 54 Bret Hart 60.5263% 228 Curt Hennig 60.1942% ------------------- Harley Race 66.0714% 56 Jon Heidenreich 66.0714% ---------------------- Ricky Steamboat 70.9091% 55 Sean O'Haire 70.5882% 34 Bill Eadie 69.8925% 93 Randy Savage 69.2810% ------------------ so Steve Blackman is better than the Rock and Austin who are barely at Candace Michelle and Kelly Kelly levels. The Undertaker is slightly better than a Bushwhacker who is superior to Bret Hart and Mr. 'not-so" Perfect. Heidenreich is just as good as Harley Race. And Sean O'Haire is better than Randy Savage and nearly Ricky Steamboat-esque. But hey. i'm not telling you anything you didn't already know. and yes the whole set up was to get to use that line at the end ;D

But it was the word to came to mind when I thought of that match. Seriously, you will never see the crowd cheer that kind of count-out win again.

This is because black people themselves are rare.
There's only what, 25 of them total?
