Bill Watts: I wanted to call him Buck Johnson

Imaging walking into the head of talent relations office for the first time and seeing a big picture of John Wayne.

You already know you made a mistake signing that contract

GoldDust was trying to buck break him.

I think Ross was saying that "Cowboy" Bill Watts wanted to call him Buck Johnson.
Sounds like he said "Watts said, I got it!" then JR replied with the line about "Why not just call him Buck 'The Black Man' Johnson" which I think was supposed to be a sarcastic retort to Watts' racist redneck idea of a good name for a black wrestler.

Your a perfect example of an A.D.D fakkit, if you listened a bit better he was recalling what Bill Watts had said, fukkin idiot

JR has escaped criticism for a long time, but this one wasn't on him it was on Watts.

As racist as Bill Watts is he still had 3 black champs (Ladd, Reed and JYD) years before Vince ever had one

Probably the reason Ron Simmons had his run in WCW too

Ole Anderson was a racist, but he gave Black men a championship payday, too.

I'm sure it comes down to money at the end of the day.

It does come down to money. A smart man doesn't let Black, white, brown, or yellow interfere with his green. Black wrestling is red hot right now, and it's good to see ROH, MLW, Impact, & WWE all have Black champs and main eventers right now.

That's not it..Watts thought that in all sports..black men dominate. Why wasn't that happening in wrestling? That's where the idea for Ron Simmons came from.
