I didn't even notice it at first. I was too caught up wondering why Luke Harper had a trimmed beard with white hair in it.

E: New page, have a picture of Harper!

That woman was insane. If you haven't seen the fight, its pretty much 15 minutes of The Karate Hottie teeing off on Tamada. The worst part was Tamada was getting hit so hard the announcer's mics were picking up the impacts.

That plus Jessica Aguilar vs Emi Fujino from World Series of Fighting proves that JWMMA fighters are both crazy and the toughest people in the galaxy.

Looks like they're on the same team for that one.

I'm more interested in the fact that there's a luchador named Aerostar.

Looking at posters like that, it reminds me about how WWE is/has been eternally whittling down their ethnic wrestlers. Pretty much everybody is white or black. Their only ethnic workers are Khali and... Rey if he still counts? I guess Rock and Reigns count as islanders, but this is only brought to light when it comes to headbutts. I forgot about Los Matadores but it seems they're also no longer on TV. WWE could really use some ethnicity in their roster outside of Caucasian is what I'm trying to say.

If you're including wrestlers born in North America there's also AJ Lee, Rosa Mendez and then there's people of mixed ethnicity too. And Tamina.

Is that the same La Parka from WCW, or is there more than 1 wrestler with that name/mask?

There's LA Park, who was the WCW wrestler, in the photo with the older/out of shape luchadores. AAA owns the La Parka copyright so they made a second generation La Parka that's on that AAA poster.

Sure I'd count them, but 2/3 fall into the "not on TV" part. And the Uso's fall into the islander group, the only ethnicity allowed to exist outside of Caucasian and African.

In one indy, Steen and Gargano formed a tag team based on their mutual hatred of another wrestler and their mutual love of Pandas.

They called it the Panda Express.

It depends on what you consider 'ethnic'. I am of Mediterranean descent and have been surprised by who's considered not white by Anglo-Saxon media many times.

So I guess you can add Layla, Sandow, AJ, Rosa, Rusev, the Bellas, Rollins and Batista to that 'ethnic' list.

They're fortunately making a big deal out of signing KENTA.

Weird though, now that I think about it I feel like they used to have a decent amount of Asian wrestlers in the 00s.
