The Royal Rumble is the epitome of opportunity, where 30 wrestlers compete for the chance to secure a Championship Match at the Grandest-Stage-of-them-All, WrestleMania.

28 years later and, more than 1,400 episodes down the line, WWE Monday Night RAW has been home to numerous entertaining, divisive, contentious angles and segments. But in 1996, WWE presented an angle so controversial, so shocking, and so adult-oriented, that it almost got them kicked off the air.

Diversity has become a hot topic amongst professional wrestling circles for the last few years. Wrestling as a whole has had a rather sketchy history with race. Over the years, WWE TV has seen some of the most racially insensitive content presented to its audience.

The wrestling business has been a longtime arbitrator of contentious taste, ever-willing to do anything in an attempt to garner a huge TV rating or sell PPVs. WWE, as the industry leader has always tried to cash in on real-world incidents and been able to turn in profits, no matter how controversial the angles they produced.

And, although controversy doesn’t always result in financial gain, it does generate interest-both good and bad.
