Once again, the wrestling promotion based out of Nashville, TN being that much more progressive than the one based out of Stamford CT.
weird, huh?
Anything can be weird when you ignore those pesky things like facts, history and truth for a false narrative.

Then when someone talked about TNA being trailblazer you agreed saying it was weird when that is untrue since WWE has done it before TNA and more often. Therefore you have to ignore those things I mentioned for it to be possible?

We absolutely sure about this? Like, absolutely? Cuz I can think of several instances in the pre-cable days that had two African-Americans in the main event, and even though those shows were regional, they likely had just as many viewers in certain markets.

Two things are f***ed up about this thread, which makes society f***ed up.
1. People thought this was a first 2. People remember individual matches of this actually happening, due to how rare it is.

What's that sound effect that plays before the music starts?

I will say that I think TNA has done pretty good with Lashley, minus his first run with them. MVP, hits and misses, but Lashley I think has been a good guy for them.

Using a worldwide tragedy that effected the world (Especially America) to get cheap heat on a wrestler has to be right up there with the Sorenson incident as the scummiest thing TNA has ever done.

Lashley vs. Shelton Benjamin was the main event of RAW on 7/2/07, followed by a contract signing between Lashley and Cena for the Great American Bash.

This thread has me better informed on black wrestlers than WWE's videos.
