Once again, it's on; the SIXTH annual #BRP50
list is here! We're back with our annual look at the Top 50 Black pro
wrestlers currently working in the squared circle. As usual, we look at
where these wrestlers stack up over the last calendar year (the #BRP50
for 2023 goes from May 2023 to May 2024). For anyone wondering, here is a
look at the criteria that goes into making a list like this—now it's time for YOU to see where everyone lands.
Without further delay, here is the 2024 #BRP50, which we will be counting down throughout the week.
As the frenzy of WrestleMania XL weekend gripped the City of Brotherly Love, NXT Stand & Deliver dropped the gauntlet at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, April 6th, drawing over 16,000 screaming fans. The atmosphere was charged, and the WWE NXT stars were aligned in spirit, each looking to make their mark and win the hearts of pro wrestling fans and Philly faithful. The culmination of rivalries reached its peak as Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes squared off, headlining a card that was nothing short of monumental for NXT's legacy. NXT Stand & Deliver was poised not just to live up to its name, but to transcend, beckoning a new era for the legacy gold brand.
The main event of NXT Stand & Deliver, featuring Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, marked a significant milestone not only in the realm of professional wrestling, but also in the broader cultural landscape. As two Black men taking center stage in such a high-profile non-title main event during Wrestlemania XL, their match transcended the confines of sports entertainment, becoming a beacon of representation and progress. This historic main event exemplified the evolving inclusivity within professional wrestling, an industry that has over the years strived to diversify its portrayal of athletes and narratives. Hayes and Williams, through their exceptional talent and compelling storylines together and apart, shattered stereotypes and showcased the depth and diversity of Black characters in pro wrestling today.
The tale of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes is one woven from the very fabric of NXT's vibrant tapestry—a narrative steeped in brotherhood turned rivalry, a testament to the fine line between alliance and enmity. As former brothers, their journey to this pivotal moment was marked by shared trials, triumphs, and an undeniable chemistry, forming a bond seemingly unbreakable. Yet, as is often the case in the crucible of NXT stories, ambition's siren song led them down a path of inevitable confrontation.
Their match at NXT Stand & Deliver showcased the unorthodox approach of Trick and Melo's relentless bull played as the matador to one another's cunning character, each maneuver packing a punch and each counter proving their intimate knowledge of each other's weaknesses and abilities. A ballet of brutality and grace, the match showcased the technical skills and raw athleticism that define these two Black men at their finest. It served as an inspiration to aspiring Black wrestlers, illustrating that the industry's most significant stages are accessible, regardless of race or ethnicity. Talent rules.
The visibility and success of Hayes and Williams in such a prominent slot catalyzed conversations in pro wrestling, encouraging fans and industry insiders alike to advocate for more inclusive storytelling and character development. What these two men created will be looked back upon as an impactful moment in pro wrestling history, a turning point that further opens the doors for athletes of all backgrounds to shine in their craft. Their performance was a celebration of talent, resilience, and the essence of NXT—passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of greatness to become a WWE Superstar, the ever-evolving narrative of professional wrestling.
