yokozuna is samoan american

I think guys that are not white or black and are 1st generation Americans are perceived as foreigners by wrestling
fans and most Americans. If a oriental or Indian guy is first generation American I think a lot of people would see
them as foreigners rightly or wrongly.

Even if you disqualify guys like Yokozuna, Reigns and Rey Mysterio there is Jinder Mahal, Great Khali and Alberto Del Rio
that are non white examples.

What non white foreign stars deserved more and were unfairly held back?

Shinske won the Rumble and got a World Tittle match at WM with a special musical entrance. He barely speaks English
and the "dream match" with Styles was a massive flop. "Strong Style" and giving guys a bunch of stiff kicks is cool in Japan
but that style doesn't work in WWE either does dropping Cena on his head. Itami also injured Kendrick badly and Asuka
has had some botches a lot of Japanese wrestlers need to learn how to adjust and work more safely.

People are already starting to complain about Andrade this isn't Indy wrestling you gotta be able to speak english
and usually be an elite talker to be a main eventer.

As in i think hes samoan and they were pushing him as Japanese. Kinda like how they were pushing an Italian guy as the "arabian" Mahammad Hassan

C'mon, we've got to get these stereotypes of stereotypes right; they just can't book non-white foreigners without Hart in their name... or Pillman... or Jericho... oh wait, there was a time Jericho was booked wrong, so yeah, they can't book Canadians who also front bands. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a throwback 4-way match to watch with Ivan Putski, Pedro Morales, Tito Santana, and Ivan Kolov.

No rematch, really?

If only Seth Rollins was as over as Kofi Kingston

I mean, one badly bungled storyline with Ambrose did not help. He went into the brock feud cold whilst Kofi had the crowd basically propelling his push.

Has Seth ever been that over going into WM the last few years?

When he was heel he was very over, other then that he's never really had a very prominent mania, he's always been someone they build towards summerslam for whatever reason.

Why did the Tag Title Match become a Fatal Four Way btw? And why didn't it include the team that was teased to feud with them? Instead, the Hardys were relegated to the pre show!
