Booker T's Mt. Rushmore Of Black Wrestling Legends

[White City Black]

I bet Booker took a suitcase full of Febreeze, incense, and cologne on the boat with him.

I’m sure there was at least one time where he saw something on that cruise that made him go, “Oh HELL naw!”

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

No Rock?

 

[Dynamite James]

I know JYD is a legend who paved the way for a lot of breh wrestlers, but…

…Something about a breh wearing a dog collar and leash chain is unsettling

Hercules wore a chain

 

[Dynamite James]

No Rock?

Does the Rock embrace his black side? (Rock is my favorite wrestler after Sting… I’m just being real)

 

[R=G]

Ermine Ladd should be sitting high

 

[Neuromancer]

That's a good list.

 

[Neuromancer]

Ron Simmons gotta be in that list, and Booker himself!

Tbh I would replace Tony Atlas with Ron Simmons.

 

[Mikeatris]

Bobo did the black savage gimmick while in Japan too. In fact, for my bruhs, the character/archetype of Coco Savage in a lot of the 80s wresting games is based on him doing this gimmick.

Bro Coco Savage was a bytch to beat in that game and he was in the middle of the line-up

Bobo Brazil being number one warms my furry heart. You barely hear about dude nowadays and his contributions to wrestling from a black perspective.

He won the NWA world championship like 30 years before Ron Simmons won the WCW world belt

Not sure who my 4 would be

Off the top of my head it would prolly be

Rock
Ron Simmons
Mark Henry
Booker T

Only naming people I actually watched and am old/young enough to remember

2 Cold Scorpio
Bad News Brown
Tony Atlas
Mabel

Were all dope too

Tez and Melo gone be up there within the next 10-20 years or so imo

 

[Cladyclad]

Monty Brown
JYD
Booker T
New Day

 

[Onigumo]

Ermine Ladd should be sitting high

Man finally somebody giving Mabel props. Dude saved 1995 and I'm dying on this hill.

He was supposed to win the title from Diesel in SummerSlam 95. He would have made a dope champ too

MOM was low key one of the best tag teams in the 90s too
