I guess the color green is more important than black or white.

Purely speculative, but I think if you're "one of the boys", it's kind of like being in the military. My father once told me "It dosen't matter what someone thinks of your skin color or what you think of theirs. When you're out in the field, you're all "Green." You don't worry about any of that shit when you're getting shot at. They watch your back and you watch theirs."

Similar type of brotherhood for wrestlers. They may come from different walks of life, but they all live the life on the road.
