219. Dory Dixon
It defied logic, but the Jamaican born Dory Dixon became a major star in Texas and Mexico in the squared circle. He was a bodybuilder in his native country but during a meet in Mexico, he fell in love with the culture and stayed. With his physique, he was given a chance in EMLL and would be given the NWA Light Heavyweight Championship. Mexico was his love, but he did have successful stints north of the border, specifically Texas and a run in New York. Dixon was another black wrestler who helped blaze a trail for many other minority grapplers to follow.
