1) It's not an all-time list, it's a showcase list
2) There's other feds besides the standard ones known (WWE, AEW, Impact, ROH, MLW)
3) If you want to find out about a lot of indy folks before they start to ascend, twitter is the easiest way, that's how I've been knowing of Trish Adora, Carmelo Hayes (as Christian Casanova), and several others for upwards of 5 years. She ain't black, but I've been knowing about Jordynne Grace since she was doing those raunchy "custom matches" that fans put together, when she barely had any followers :laff:

Yeah fukking right..he debuted in a story as a black wrestler...that Samoan shyt oy really popped off after Rikishi said he "did it for the Rock". Came back for that Trump/Austin interlude in 07..mentioned being black. Every fukking Feb when they show that Black wrestler montage? First person they show? The Rock. Alot of c00n wannabe motherfukkers on here who rock skinny jeans on some Billy type shyt and bow down to white girls daily.. gotta Lotta nerve trying to act like someone isn't black when he got a black father. Utterly absurd. Nothing wrong with being closer to your mother's side.

He is genetically black and he acknowledges his black father. he’s as black as some of the other mixed people on this list like Sasha Banks. The Rock doesn’t actively deny his black heritage like some mixed people. The marketing shouldn’t matter.

I think people also forget to take his upbringing in consideration.

Like people really be acting like Black people only live in inner city NY, ATL, or poor country southern areas like NO.

This dude grew up in Hawaii then some small town in PA that’s not Philly. So of course he not gonna come off like how many stereotypically see black males from more urban areas. A black person born in none urban areas shouldn’t be viewed any lower.

shyt he went to the U and Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp respect him. That’s should tell y’all enough
It's an interesting discussion and it clearly brings a lot of passion out of people. I get what y'all are saying and doesn't necessarily disagree (I don't know what the bit about skinny jeans and white girl worship is about) with what everyone is saying. This isn't an indictment of The Rock (I don't think he's ever had any doubt about who he is) but more of the WWE marketing machine.

Some are getting it confused, The Rock is not on there because its an annual list.
Respect f

I respect your opinion as alway….. you the true and only cool dude here from San Diego.

But I also respectfully disagree.

Granted she does sell merch, but that really doesn’t do nothing for me in terms on top talent. Hell Eugene and Enzo used to sell merchandise pretty well.

Promo wise? I think she’s ok. Not saying she’s terrible, there are a hell of a lot of people she’s better than. But to me she’s kinda average in that department. But promos are subjective to a degree

Working? I’m sorry she can’t do a quarter of the stuff many of the guys I mentioned in her company can. She’s not as technical, smooth, athletic, or as strong as to be capable. And that’s not a knock on her but then dudes are great.

Hell I don’t think she can fukk with Reginald in the ring and that dude looks like he finna be amazing when the let him loose.

I want deny impact and star power, she earned that but that’s also comes to people when they have proper backing.

So I’m not shytting on her… to make that clear.

When it comes to woman wrestling she is a powerhouse. But she just ain’t touching the guys when it comes the meat and potatoes shyt like wrestling. Not even close

Kofi, Big E, Apollo Crews, Keith Lee, all are better than her in the ring and not just her and every woman on that roster.
Let's say in the promo department? She has credibility..she has turned a hostile crowd into just more of her Sasha chanters. There is nothing lacking in her game and there is no one listed on that list that really deserves to be ranked ahead of her except Lashley. He has been on quite a run since punking Miz.

Reginald? Great spots..cute stuff..can he work? ...hell fukking nah. Lol. And he'll never be 5 star certified like Sasha has been for 6 years.

Interesting because the crowds always react...comments like this are why I think we got those wrestling forum sissies over here hiding in plain sight. Sasha has money promos...Bliss doesn't and she's called great on the mic..fans turned on her This is your life segment horribly. Sasha never had those problems. Sasha did a fake retirement promo and the crowd went for it the whole way. Called Dana Brookes Miss Piggy to a pop as a face...lol. Get real.

List sent me into college mode, I was looking up all kinda videos instead of working. Big props to the creator, got me some new ppl to follow rather than what I get in the Chicago indy scene.

Maybe if Triple H saw color then AEW wouldn’t have more people in the top 100 than WWE does in the top 400 :sas2:

*My counts could be slightly off, easy to overlook someone in a top 500 list, after all

Did Swerve approve of being on this list:mjpls:
A real question. Hell he actually may be ok with it since he’s the #1 spot :comeon:


Looking back his ranking on the brp list was pretty good given his spot in the E at the time. That nikka just a ho seeking PWI acceptance.


Side note: this list is a visual overload with the 500(no disrespect to Reg) I got a headache trying to scrub through all those names. Keep it to a solid 50 or at most 100.

No it's okay to disrespect that clown. Any black person that says the Bucks are GOAT tag team needs to be cancelled immediately. Also Red Velvet being over Bianca and Lee being over Trick is exactly why these lists mean nothing.:mjlol:
