HISTORY OF BLACK SUPERSTARS.

February is Black History month and in this article we will be listing WWE's top 5 Black Wrestlers/Superstars in history. Keep in mind this list doesn't go in order from good to best. It will be put in random order.

5.) Mark Henry- Henry has been European, ECW, and World Champ in his career. His most important title reign was in 2011 when he defeated Randy Orton for his first World title at Night of Champs. In that year he created the Hall of Pain which is a list of Superstars that he's defeated brutally. The Superstars included Big Show, Kane, Khali, Orton, Kozlov, and more. Almost a year later he suffered injury and wasn't seen in months until last week Monday on Raw when he attacked Rey, Daniel Bryan, and Sin Cara in a huge return and continued the attack on Orton and Khali the shows that followed. This Sunday on PPV Mark Henry I believe will be a wrecking machine. He will be a huge factor in this match.

4.)Shelton Benjamin-  made his debut as one of the members of TEAM Angle along with long time partner Charlie Haas. In his time in WWE he became Intercontinental Champ, and tag team champ. He too had a great run in ECW. HE came close to winning the ECW title a couple of times. His most impressive match was against HHH the night he was drafted to RAW. He proved that he has what it takes to be a maineventer. I would hope to one day see him back in WWE again.

3.) Booker T- He is a 6 time World Champ, he's held the US title a couple times in both WWE and WCW. He's been tag team champ. He was a part of one of the greatest tag teams in history Harlem Heat. He was great in tag team but even better in singles competition. My favorite Booker T match was in his first Summerslam match against the Rock. The two are so similar in a lot ways. This was a match that I've been wanting to see since Booker's WCW days. Some believe Booker wasn't too good at commentary. but i think he was hilarious the way he went back and forth with Cole. His GM days are great too. One day I would love to see him do just one more fight and if he does it I would like to see him do another tag team match partnering with Goldust in a tag team title match. Even if they lose it would be great.

2.) Ron Simmons- In his WCW days he was the most dominate guys on the roster. He held the WCW title a numerous occasions, putting guys out like it was nothing to it. But his most memorable moments for me was his time in APA. Great feuds with Dudleys, Hardys, Edge/Christian, Hollys, and more. The Attitude Era was full of great tag teams, and this was my favorite of them all. Just a smash mouth style of wrestling. The Promos they had in the bars were often times hilarious and sometimes full of action with bar fights. Even some gambling every now and then.

1.) The Rock - Yes the Rock is only half black, but that counts as being black.He is by far one of the biggest names in the WWE. Even people who don;t watch WWE know who the Rock is. He is a huge movie star, but were not gonna talk about his movies we will talk on his WWE career. He is a 3rd generation Superstar, a 9 time World Champ, and is the only man in history to have beaten Cena, Hogan and Austin at Mania. YEs he only makes a few appearances now days, but guess what he;s earned that right. HE's paid his dues a long time ago during the attitude era. And He brings the ratings when he appears on WWE TV  This is why WWE needs him so he can bring in new people and also bring back old fans. HE had a great match against Punk at last months Royal Rumble and I expect another great match this Sunday on PPV.
