you can't really say wrestling doesn't try to accelerate minority careers since vince mcmahon took over...they have always had superstars of all backgrounds...koko b. ware was huge despite not being champ(cause he was to small and couldn't wrestle) but his gimmick made him a favorite...tony atlas and mr. universe were the biggest tag team during there time....you also have the samoans that were big...virgil had his time in the spotlight with ted dibiase...kamala was a big star in the wwf...and i'm sure there are a ton more i'm just forgetting...nickoli volkoff and the iron sheik are a few more from a different background that also had stardom
