Here's Mexican luchador Dragon Rojo (Red Dragon), a former World Middleweight Champion at Consejo de Mundial Lucha Libre (CMLL). Dragon Rojo made his in-ring debut in 2001 as a tecnico or babyface called Zacatan Jr. After an injury sidelined him for two years, he returned as Diamante Negro (Black Diamond), a rudo or heel. The 38-year-old luchador says he's more comfortable wrestling on the rudo side which is why he's been wrestling as a heel since 2011.

Rewind: Rocky Johnson
Today's generation of wrestling fans probably know him better as the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but Rocky Johnson (1944-2020) was an accomplished pro wrestler in his own right. A former boxer, Johnson held many titles and has the distinction of being the first black Georgia Wrestling Champion. He and his tag team partner Tony Atlas were the first black champions in WWE history. You can read his bio here.

Vance
Preston Vance (formerly known as Cody Vance) has joined All Elite Wrestling's cabal of heels known as The Dark Order. The "ten" on his chest and pads stands for his being the tenth member of said group. He also wears a mask for some reason and has gone from brightly-colored trunks to ripped jeans.
