My Take
Bobo Brazil is one of those names that means more than wins and titles. Standing 198 cm and famous for his Coco Butt headbutt, he was box-office spectacle, but his real legacy is breaking down racial segregation in American wrestling as one of the first Black marquee stars. The 1994 WWE Hall of Fame induction barely captures it. I have deep respect for athletes who turn personal excellence into a doorway for others, and Brazil did exactly that, building the stage today's diverse roster of stars stands on.
