Just kidding. Why on earth this toy was greenlit is just beyond words. Roddy Piper antagonising Bad News Brown with half of his body painted black is one of those wrestling moments we look back on at utterly gobsmacked in its offensiveness. But rather than pretend that it never happened, and give this horrendously racist and awful moment the Chris Benoit treatment, WWE decided to immortalise it in action figure form. Thats an action figure in blackface. And yup, thats real.
