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.

Lana too, as (IIRC) she has parents with Portuguese and Venezuelan roots.

E: for content, here is a pic of Lana and Paige sitting on a couch looking bored.

A trust fall really is the best name for it because if he or his opponent botches that, he's gonna brain himself on one of those barricades

This is correct. For what it is worth, WWE does do a pretty good job of having a variety of faces. Generally I'd consider anything born in America, Canada, or England and not claiming any other descent (proper descent, i.e. Yokozuna) as non-ethnic. They're never going to say "The Spanish Diva Layla". I'd consider Justin Gabriel to show a lot more ethnicity than say the Bellas or Sandow.

Justin Gabriel was actually a pretty good example for what WWE could do (at least tried to do for a week) by showcasing where their talent comes from without making it into a stereotype gimmick.

Wilt Chamberlain when he was with the Lakers. He was legit 7'1" and 300 pounds. He still looked kinda skinny compared to Andre, but put them together in a picture and they looked like two regular dudes, one decently buff and one muscly and heavyset.

Until you put someone else in the picture and realise they are actual giants.

They redid it a bit when they changed the logo. They at least exchanged Punk for Connor and added Warrior at the end.

Nothing as stand out as the Kane pic. But all every nice. Justin Roberts seems to have really taken Conor to his heart. I think he was the first WWE rep to post about his passing.
