10 Most Alarming Ways WWE Rewrites History
1. Their Portrayal Of Minorities
WWE sure loves to get in on every charitable and social cause they possibly can these days, despite really having not earned the right to do so.
National Hispanic Heritage Month is their newest cause to join up on, and yet their history of pushing Hispanic wrestlers is largely deplorable. That doesn't stop them from running a series of feel-good videos, when they should instead be spending that time apologizing.
When talking about those videos, The Mexicools aren’t likely to be featured anytime soon. Nor is Kerwin White. Neither is Tito Santana run as a damn bull fighter. Los Matadores...who now try to sell time shares probably won't make the cut either. What about Essa Rios? He was pretty talented...though pushed as a jobber.
And things are even more horrifying with African Americans. WWE has fully embraced Black History Month despite giving us Saba Simba, Cryme Tyme, Mark Henry’s Silverback gimmick, Akeem, Slick, The Godfather and then there's the fact that the WWE Championship still hasn’t been held by an African American.
But if you just started watching WWE today, you may think the company has a long, proud history of presenting all races as equals, without a single racist gimmick along the way. That is quite alarming, and shameful that they think they can get away with it.
