Is The Rock the First (and only) Black WWE Champion? (Poll Added)

Curious - Have they ever made Lashley dance, rap or speak ebonics? I didnt follow wrestling when he was originally around and I cant picture him doing any of that lol.

No. He would sound goofy if he did & they knew that. LOL!!

WORST.

they have him bending over, showing off his glutes every week.

str8 neutralizing the idea of him being a monster heel.

The best way to go about this is basically to compare Ron Simmons winning the WHC and the Rock winning his first WWE title and then having him “sell out”. As far as I’m concerned the WWE has yet to have a black Male wear the strap. The Rock is a legend in his own right but when he won it didn’t have that feel to it like Simmons win and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we had another member of The A’naoi legacy getting pushed rather than having our first black champ

Just curious. If Lashley won the Universal Title would that count?

Both are world titles and it is on the "A" Show, i.e. the flagship show.

Nah, the universal title is a joke no matter how you try to flip it. Put the WWE title on a brother to let me know it’s real. I fully understand where you are coming from though

If kofi was to get the world title even if it ain’t the universal title that’s a respectable moment
If he has a reign as fire as Mark Henry’s run then that’s what’s better

I feel you but always being booked higher than the WWE Title about 90% of the time isn't really a joke.

This is all personal feelings, breh...

Cause as great a moment as it was to see Simmons win that belt (I was there that night)... anyone who remembers his run, knows he was basically pushed like a midcarder/placeholder the whole time.
