as a black wrestling fan, good looking out on this documentary. most wrestling fans are scared to talk on this part of pro wrestling.

Thank you for this Brotha🙏🏽 Surprisingly there is lack of videos on YT regarding this when we all kno Wrestling has been rife w/Racism on nd off over MANY MANY DECADES ✊🏽🙏🏽✌🏽

Thunderbolt Patterson, Bobo Brazil, Rocky Johnson, The late Brickhouse Brown, Ernie Ladd, and more are Iconic legends who worked hard to get noticed. Everyone I mentioned were heroes of mine growing up in the seventies. They made wrestling great.

I used to be on this game called fire pro wrestling world. I created multiple charecters on (ps4). As I played in e feds I learned how racist wrestling fans really were. White dudes used to literally politic for me not to wrestle on a damn video game. Dudes were getting jealous and it was weird as hell and I didn't get it. After a while I just completely left it alone when no one would help me with theme music. I offered to pay 50 bucks for people to upload for me but no one would do it so I just quit. It was fun but I learned how racist it really was. The white dudes who pretended to be cool wanted you to kiss they're ass. I started seeing it for what it was and just left it alone.

Jesse is probably one of the least racist people of that era. He was playing a heel.

My dad was a promoter in Pensacola, Florida back in the day and I’ve heard a lot of stories about terry. Back in 1999 we moved to Tampa and our house was one street over from Terry’s. He’s such a weird dude. Him and Linda were swingers, like big time. They would try to swing with other wrestler couples the most but they weren’t too picky. The times we’ve been at his house I never once heard him say anything racist. Like that’s the kind of environment where something like that would come out the most but man I just never heard anything racist at all. He’s actually into hip hop, he likes Bone Thugs and Harmony which surprised the hell out of me. Maybe he has some racist bones in him, that recording was pretty damning, but again in person in a more friendly and intimate setting I never recall him being racist. Piper, Flair, Bob Orton, all of the Armstrong’s, Pat Patterson, These guys are all racist. Ric Flair I just don’t understand. He will open up and introduce post Malone in a stadium in Atlanta, Get on stage with Rae Sremmurd and bounce around, but call someone the N word to their face. He called atlas the N word multiple multiple times.

How did the people who were fans of Hulk Hogan feel? I'll answer. I grew up watching wrestling and Hulk Hogan was a hero to me and my siblings. When it came out, it really hurt. It was so disappointing. I have learned other things about his character recently and he really is just not that decent of a guy. But as a Black kid who idolized him, it was kind of crushing. There are a lot of closeted racists out there, and this is a prime example of why a lot of us don't trust white people, for those that don't understand.

i was born in 1980, the bad guys in 99% of movies were communist of some kind, most often russian. even after the fall of the soviet union, russian rogue officers or russian mafia or the like were used as villains. for some reason, it is just real easy for us americans to go 'russia bad? ok.' meanwhile, russians are just regular people. they love wrestling too!

There are a few repeated lines and segments in the middle of the video; in particular: talking about Virgil, and Thug.

Norman Smiley is Goat

Dude. You gotta get to the point in the beginning. It took you almost 10 mins to repeat 50 times that wrestling is an escape. We get it.

Racism is still a huge part of wrestling, although it has gotten better. Like how almost every Black tag team has a 'thug' gimmick. Cryme Time, the Street Profits, Hit Row, etc. The New Day is goofy, but at least it's something different. Asian and Mexican wrestlers are never given serious pushes and almost always have an 'ethnic' gimmick. Black wrestlers have had a little bit more success, but not much more. Currently in WWE, there are no Black male wrestlers being pushed. We'll see when/if Trick Williams gets balled up to Raw or Smackdown. Bianca Belair did have a lengthy title run not too long ago, but even she has been buried as of late and she and Jade gave up the belts after a very short reign as tag team champs. At least Swerve is being allowed to shine in AEW.

The WWF/E’s commitment to xenophobia is truly awe inspiring. To take an ethnic or foreign person and reduce them to their race (if non-white) or country of origin (if non-American white) in new and unique ways. I mean it’s gotta be exhausting after a while. At a certain point it must be easier to just not be xenophobic but they stubbornly stay committed to it. It’s like Michael Bay movies but somehow even worse!

You know, while there are certainly exceptions, on the whole it feels like wrestling fans are some of the only people who have become genuinely less racist over the years. It seems like there's more awareness of the wresting scene in lots of different parts of the world and a lot of mutual respect between different peoples involved in it.

Jay StrongBow is the most easiest Character ever because he lived the persona

anything can be racist so long as it's racists doing it. the thing about racism is it can be overt or denyable. like smoky mt. wrestling is RACIST. themes are racist, characters, storylines, and the people backstage. but Vince Mcmahn is also racist.... but he'll do the deniability dance where he'll make the locker room diverse then when no one's looking just fire everyone and undo what he just did. Hogans a bit between the kind of racism you see in SMW and McMahn's WWE. He'll say it out loud but behind closed doors. all racism is bad. somehow I think racism + lying about it is a lot worse than just being racist overtly and letting people know you're no good. but obviously its the lying that lets them get away with it. can't just go easy the overt stuff is better just because you can see it. Even SMW only used the N word backstage. NewJack heard it and left. And I think that's meaningful because look at the gangsta character he played. Hell there's a really good interview from "welfare queen" (sheesh) from GLOW talking about how as a performer she'd have to take those degrading roles just to keep on the industry's good side. so yeah is pro wrestling racist? I dunno, depends on the values of the promoters. It does lend itself well to racism due to it's carnival roots. I guess its still trying to emancipate itself from that.

I don't know how Hogan thought anyone could take him seriously when he did his PR tour and claimed not to be a racist...after literally saying the words 'I'm a racist' on the recording. Sorry, brother, but no one is that dumb. We aren't going to take the word of a Hulkster who is desperately trying to salvage his reputation and knows he's being recorded, over the word of a Hulkster who was speaking privately and didn't know he was being recorded. If he'd owned it afterward...said 'I've been racist, but I'm working on being better'...that would've at least been SOMETHING. Instead, all he gave out was denial. But it seems to have worked, regardless, in the long run...can't keep a bad man down, I guess.

Akeem being called "The African Dream" was yet another rip from the then WWF on "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, same as how Virgil got his name and his "African Talk" promos were made to make fun of Dusty speaking that way in his promos, more than it was him emulating or poking fun of how an African American person talks. With that in mind, I wouldn´t call the gimmick racist as much as it was a bad diss attempt against Jim Crockett Promotions and Dusty in particular. In all fairness "The Twin Towers", with him and The Big Boss Man, were as over as any heel team was in that era, when they turned Boss Man face and split them up.

The filmmaker's discussion of how incredible it is that Pro wrestling is a singular art form, partially because it never ends...reminds me of the fact that Pro Wrestling needs both an off-season and a gottdamn union (now, THAT would be a compelling topic of a video on Pro Wrestling, in my estimation).

I mean, I think you make some good points. But I'd also argue that he didn't really come here to be world champ. Nakamura specifically, that is. I think he came more so he could have a higher (or similar) amount of money with less intense matches compared to Japan. The style in WWE is much less brutal than he was having in Japan so it's almost like retirement while still working. Of course at the end of the day I think you're mostly right and that was probably largely influenced by Vince and people like Kevin Dunn. Hopefully things will be different going forward (I realize your comment was probably made before the major changes we've seen recently).

New Jack was an asshole. White trash isn’t racist 💀

You're intros are waaay too long brother. Nice documentary, but less of yourself and more of the subject matter. Remember the star of any documentary is the story you're telling, not you.

Even a black man would say he rather have a rich brother the a poor one for his daughter.

But is a black man gonna imply that when it comes to a “brotha” it has to be a rich One but when it comes to a Whitey he is fine with not raising the bar that high? Because that’s what Hogan is implying here😂 he doesn’t just want a rich guy for his daughter he is saying if his daughter wants to deal with knickers then it the bar has to be high. At least you tried 😂

Nice documentary. I’d lay off the insulting of other people tho. Kind of makes you a hypocrite.

I forgot how mexican and russian was a race :(

As thoughtful and well intentioned as you come across, I do think you have a slight lack of understanding of the 20th century, I think you have done a lot of research however the past is often viewed without its original context, critiquing these transient events with modern eyes paints them to be something they definitely were not. Most of the wrestlers involved in these stories are for the most part just wankers anyway as most wrestlers are but you are putting a CRT narrative to stories that where created to either highlight and ridicule racism or illustrate that it is no longer a legitimate thing with any real power or effect as many comedians do, racist jokes and stereotypes have been used throughout history not only to spread hate but also to highlight the absurdity of racism itself. Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy are examples of hilarious comedians who used the same technique. Stereotypes are funny and I don't think there is a human alive who hasn't laughed at one.

You're speaking from a position of tremendous privilege when you say that. When Dave Chapelle makes jokes about how trans people aren't *really* the gender they say they are, he gets a laugh from the crowd. You know who isn't laughing? Trans people. That's the issue with this shit. You're listening to the laughter of a straight white audience and going "look everyone thinks it's funny", because you never stopped to think "wait what if the people the joke is targeted at don't?".

@@YamiSilaas who mentioned Dave chappelle? Or did you just associate him with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy because he's black or was it because he also made a big career from racial stereotypes? I didn't mention trans people either not did this video and finally why do you assume I am speaking from a position of white privilege? Is it because you think that everyone thinks the same as you? That only a white person can be critical of race politics?

@1:58:00 that is not racist that is American

Hulk Hogan was born in 1953 in GEORGIA. And he was raised in Florida. Why does it shock anyone that he is racist? Not every elderly person in Florida or even Georgia is racist. But a significantly large percentage of them are. Given the context, I think its over the top for the WWE to have stripped him from the Hall of Fame (he was reinstated 3 years after the scandal I believe) or to have even fired him in the first place (though they did bring him back 3 years later as well). I know a 29 year old woman who migrated here from Florida and even she is an asshole. Florida is full of Republican assholes. I'm willing to give 68 year old Hulk Hogan a pass. Even race and the recent anti-vaxx stuff aside, Hulk Hogan was always a politicking asshole. But he is a legend of wrestling. I hope that Hulk evolves to become a better person after these unfortunate events and for Hulk's case that he gets vaccinated. He's 68 years old and has done steroids for most of his life. If he catches COVID, it might not end well for him.
