I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Val Venis. A guy playing a porn star who would make a lot of sexual innuendos and sleep with many different women. By that same token, The Godfather, who played a pimp who objectified women. Agreed on Godfather, disagreed on Val. In today's world, knowing what we know about sex trafficking, the glorification of "pimps" in general has aged horribly. On the other hand, in a world where every other tweet reply is a sexual innuendo and everybody knows somebody on Onlyfans, I'm kind of surprised we haven't had a wrestler who does porn as a side hustle again.

Johnny B. Badd. A white guy in heavy fake tan playing a character straight up based on an African American performer, one with rather problematic beliefs to boot. Lets be honest it was basically blackface. .....Are you telling me Marc Mero isn't black? I always thought he was a really light skinned black man. Like Prince.

You weren't the only one fooled, people talked about him being a future african american world champion in interviews and he kind of awkwardly tiptoed around the topic.

Race not withstanding (I too am surprised he’s not actually black), Mero looked A LOT like Little Richard back in the day. I can see why they thought of that gimmick.
