@Koolazzmike TOTALLY! I thought about it and man, so many black guys got such a raw deal when they went to WWF: 2 Cold Scorpio (pimp), The Godfather (pimp) Farooq (weird, black gladiator right after he was WCW champ), Virgil (slave) The entire Nation of Domination (black militants). Jeez, did any black guys get to be, you know, black guys??? Also, most Samoans are jungle savage, except for the Rock. Yikes!

@plenchful Oh, I agree with you 100% on that, plenchful. I said the same thing. Look how he buried the JYD, had him lose in every wrestlemania, Slick was the only manager that never managed a champion, look how he buried the Booker T character, he embarrased him. And that Saba Simba was humiliating.

@suthes A lot of these old Wrestling Challenge shows were taped and had no commentators live in the building. A great deal of it was done in a studio well after the matches were over. You can always hear a big difference in Vince's excitement level when he does live matches vs. taped ones.

@Koolazzmike That was just Vince's thing. He tended to like taking guys from the old territories who were over down south, and just burying them in the WWF. He still does it to this day. And I hate to say it, but he treated black workers in this era even worse. Saba Simba anyone?

Douglas is currently the heavyweight champion of Massachusetts-based Big Time Wrestling.

One wonders that if Douglas didn't have to leave the WWF in 1991 to take care of his late father, exactly how would he turn out

@bkstyle82 Then again,everybody complained about there being no quality matches between 2 superstars in that era on television.It`s unbelievable how uneducated the general public is about professional wrestling,and don`t even get me started on the `it`s fake` argument!

He was doomed from the start...he called people "wrestlers". I love how all Vince could say was, "he's in great shape."

The Undertaker has buried loads of talent.
I love how Vince McMahon is trying to put Shane Douglas over on commentary, and Rowdy Roddy Piper is treating him like a total jabroni.

Piper really knew how to bury talent on commentary.
