There aren't a ton of black guys in wrestling to begin with though, I honestly think this is the most minority wrestlers I can ever remember the WWE employing at 1 time.
I think some of that has to do with a big portion of wrestlings fan base being the dumb hick/redneck people.
Of course we're talking about a company who had Smackdowns highest viewing audience being hispanic and they move Rey Mysterio to Raw...that makes a ton of sense right?
