Look through your old tape collection and there are many embarrasing moments to be found.. but some werent embarassing they were just downright tasteless.

You had black men running around in loin cloths (Saba Simba, Kamala etc.)

'The Natural' Butch Reed, a Black man with Blonde Hair? NATURAL?

If you have a copy of the 'Jive Soul Bro' music video, you will see Slick eating plenty of Fried Chicken.

My favourite tasteless gimmick has to be wrestlings first Wigga.. AKEEM!
I remember his Debut, or should I say transformation from the One Man Gang. There was some commotion and Akeem emerged only to be seen dancing like Slick and then getting presented with a Ghetto Blaster or something.

Whats your favourite tasteless moment in History? Given Vinces love of Stereotypes.. im sure there are plenty of favourites.

How bout a little Bad News Brown?

haha, Rumour has it that he was penciled in for some sort of title reign.

I personally liked Bad News Brown.. No frills, just beat people up.

While this is by NO MEANS a favorite of mine....there was a tasteless gimmick that has to be brought to attention.

Back in the early 1990s, Harlem Heat had yet to make a TV appearance, and wrestled in dark matches. However, their gimmick was much different than the one they appeared with.

They were managed by Col. Robert Parker and were led to the ring with chains around their necks and arms...that's right, we had wrestling slaves.

Beyond the bounds of good taste, thankfully this never made the air...

can you only imagine?

Between the Kane necrophilia and Steve Austin's obvious alcoholism.

There's just something about storylines about cracking open a cold one.
