The Influence of People of Color in Pro Wrestling

Similar to movies, professional wrestling is an outlet that draws massive numbers and VERY diverse groups of fans. The presenter has noted that in many rooms, barber shops, kickbacks, picnics, pick-up games, dinner, etc with groups of Black folks when the topic of Pro wrestling comes up, 90% of the men in the room find it exciting to talk about.

Pro Wrestling garners a ton of attention from people of color, but why are they not represented properly in the business? At this moment, there has yet to be a full Black WWE Champion (but that may change in April). Why has it taken this long for this to happen?

This promises to be a lively, colorful and fun discussion with Mr. Proffit and other wrestling fans who are men and women of color.
