#BW500

The 2020 edition of the #BW500 is here! Created to bring awareness for Black Pro Wrestlers around the world who are ready for the spotlight. Last year after the release of the PWI 500 I was inspired to create this list due to what I felt was not enough representation in the magazine. I ended up releasing the #BW250 which highlighted the best Black wrestlers in the world but this year the list has been updated to 500 due to popular demand. This list was created by one person Righteous Reg, who uses his 30 years of wrestling fandom and previous (very little) in ring pro wrestling knowledge to compile. Righteous STUDIES Pro Wrestling. This is for the a Black wrestlers who feel overlooked. This is For Us By Us.
