Samoans Get To Be nikkas But the nikkas Don't get to Be nikkas - Deitrich Davis of New Wrestling World Order

[Whooty Chaser]

Long watch(25 mins) but this dude hammered the nail on the head. Black culture is fully accepted in wrestling as long as it's Samoans and other non-blacks representing it.
He talks about the Usos, Rikishi, and Jacob Fatu emulating black men, he talks about the NWO incorporating hip-hop into their gimmick, and also talks about Cryme Tyme never breaking the glass ceiling like thier non-black counterparts

It's a shame Harlem Heat is about just the only recognizable and decorated tag team tbh

Edit: Forgot about Rocky Johnson

Harlem Heat are iconic The best part about them is they didn't need to talk about pancakes, rainbows and Booty Os to get pushed

I don't think the IWC is ready to have colorism and race conversations

I think Nikkita Lyons is a very sexy and fukkable young lady, but I gotta call her out too. Her blaccent sounds even less authentic than Jey Usos.

I think the Usos both legit talk like that in real life. Jacob Fatu too
