Let's not even mention that comparatively it was the least watched match mentioned too. There are only between 1.5 to 2 million network subscribers on average assuming they all watched it which we know that didn't happen as a lot of that hardcore demo was there live.

To compare, Andre vs Hogan rematch on Saturday main event in 1988 did 33 million viewers and a 15.3 rating

WWE network productions should have been up on this and made something like this like they did with the women's evolution for the Youtube channel or to open up Raw or Smackdown

I dont think they realize what they have on their hands and they are always quick to try and make themselves seem like they got mainstream cultural importance

Where was the article montages of first black champion like they have for Hall of Fame announcements or Wrestlemania general news?

Except the Rock was so they can't really claim that despite the coli arguments over Rock not really being black

Let's not go overboard and cause a coli heel turn on Kofi with these overblown statements

Appreciate his hard work and this crowning achievement but you have Hogan Andre, Savage at mania 4, Warrior upsetting Hogan, Shawn making his childhood dream come true, Bret being hoisted up by the whole roster at 10, Austin getting his moment against Shawn with Tyson, Daniel Bryan... Slow down

But this goes back to the argument that the Rock whether it was his or Vince's decision was sort of presented as Samoan. Now Im always a bit uncomfortable dismissing anyone of a mixed ethincity as "not being enough" of one race or another but you can see the optics of Kofi winning. At the very least they can show all the black fans happy in videos like TSN did and note as an underdog story
