    Excellent. He now had equivocated pro wrestling with slavery.

    Except for the Russian, every one of those angles is at least 20 years old. Most are at least 30. The last 15-20 years has seen a shift away from goofy stereotypical characterizations for the most part.

    I can't believe I just remembered to point this out, but does WWE get any credit for having not only a black tag team as its current tag team champions, but the fact that one of them is openly gay? And two of the three members of the tag team they're currently feuding with are former Intercontiental champions?
    Or does that not count because they're not the "right belts"?

    The inch taller and 50 pounds that makes Lesnar look like a monster and Benjamin look like just another guy is a huge difference. When a black guy with that look (Lashley) showed up in that era, they were ready to push him to the moon and he left for MMA.

    Point taken about Lesnar. Though Benjamin is 6-2, 250-some pounds, which more or less puts him on par with microphonic black holes like Bret Hart, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler or He Who Shall Not Be Named, all of whom were world champions.

    Considering the timeframe, I see what you did there.

    It's more mental gymnastics to alleviate cognitive dissonance.
