If We Will See A Full African-American Male Become WWE Champion:

“I don’t see that happening in the near future, no. You know to be real and to be very candid and keep it honest, African-American wrestlers, black wrestlers… They have to work twice as hard as white competitors. If you haven’t noticed like let’s say someone like Daniel Bryan. If it was a black wrestler on that same level, same charisma, same ring style… there is no way he will be WWE champion. He’s got to work 10 times harder. We got to work ten times harder and we still don’t even get to that level. And it is not just African-Americans. I don’t want to take anything away from the Rock, he’s African-American, he is black but he is not identified as black. There is a big difference. You have to be identified as black. Rock is more ambiguous, he’s exotic. Mainstream Hollywood society doesn’t identify him as black. Once you played Hercules and you have long flowing brunette hair, you’re not identified as black.”

If Skin Color Has An Effect On A Wrestler’s Push:

“I definitely think it affects it definitely. I do believe that there is a system in place in the WWE that only a black wrestler can only go so far. With the stereotype, now it is not as bad as it used to be in the early 90s or 80s with the stereotype. You know they toned it down a little bit. But still, there are still stereotypes there in place.”
