Who is the best black wrestler ever in your opinion?

[KatieGotAzzHairs]

I've made a thread in which I can not offer an intelligent opinion. But, you all know more about and have watched more wrestling than me. Therefore I'm curious who you think is the greatest black wrestler of all time or at least that you've seen. I'm thinking workrate wise when I ask this, but you can take into the account the overall package if you want I'll only resent you a little bit.

 

[I-Hate-You]

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

I say booker. Good on the mike, fantastic in the ring, was the right height and build to work with almost anyone. Could be serious or funny, and had a long in ring career that grew from tag team work to solo work. Rock is half Samoan though. Not sure if that rules him off this list. If not, rock easily.

Depending on your definition of black, the Rock, Booker T or Hardbody Harrison

Booker was one of those well rounded, could do it all types.

Good in the ring, good on the mic, good look. Could work with anyone, so he wasn't too big or small.

I always like the guys who get better and show greatness towards the tail end of their careers. He did the king booker stuff really well.

He's very much in the Jericho and Angle category. Not the most famous or biggest draw ever, but solidly upper rankings in every category.

I like Booker but those two are on another level to him, honestly

If you're going with workrate and success, it's Booker T. Ernie Ladd or BoBo Brazil if you only consider success. Off of workrate, gotta go with my MAIN MAN 2 Cold Scorpio.

2 cold scorpio....my nikka could work and was a truely innovating high flyer

[Alexander The Great]

As far as a worker I would say either Shelton or 2 Cold Scorpio.

Overall The Rock is the GOAT unquestionably

Booker >

 

[R=G]

The Rock

Booker was copying Rock left and right in WCW...so he's just another in a endless cats Rock influenced.

So are we excluding The Rock or....
