The article is very factual no doubt about it but my 2 annoyances

1. You can't just dismiss The Rock because he is half black and claim there has never been a black champion. By that logic we've also never had a black President.

I agree The Rock is in his own world compared to every other black wrestler they've had, but there are a million pieces of evidence you can use without just claiming there has never been a black world champ and dismissing him. It wasn't necessary to make the point he wanted to make.

2. I hate how this article is also written in a way that turns its nose up on wrestling and its fans in general. It read like somebody who thinks wrestling is a joke and its fans are garbage was forced to do a little research and then write an article on a topic they hated.

Other than that, yea this is nothing new.
