Over the years at SLAM! Wrestling, we have covered the troubling problem of racism in the world of professional wrestling in our “Minority Mat Report” investigative reports.
We have launched this subsection of SLAM! Wrestling to collect all of these groundbreaking reports, in order for readers to explore more about pro wrestling’s history, and to honour those men and women who stood up against racism in the wrestling world.
By shedding light on this controversial topic, Minority Mat Report aims to help wrestling become a more welcoming environment for future wrestlers in the years to come. Anyone with stories to tell can email us at MinorityMatReport@cinemasinner.com.
