POLL: Why Has There Never Been A Black WWE Champion?

[Black Panther]

I mean seriously?

Seems pretty to me.

And no, IMO the Rock doesn't count. He identifies more as Samoan than black.

Closest we got was Booker T and Mark Henry as World Heavyweight Champion; it's nice to see dark-skinned breh holding that Flair belt :bpbanderas:

But what's the rationale? And what stopped qualified black wrestlers from holding the belt in the past? :bpohh:

Uncle Rockus don't count?...

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Nothing more than to me. Almost feels like the World Heavyweight Championship was just an out to give black wrestlers the belt so no one would complain too much.

You're telling me they couldn't have built up Kofi Kingston during his 2009 run, made him a serious main eventer and have him run with the WWE Championship?

Don't even devolve this into yet another argument about the Rock because the fact of the matter is this.

He first won the title in 1998.

That's going on 19 years ago.

Not a single brotha was qualified to win it since then?

Mizzark didn't get that huge ass million dollar contract for nothing back in the day he was prime to be champ just off the investment Vince put in him. But political and no one smarten him up to the business hurt him.

Lashley was going to be champ. He had the company backing him. Vince was putting him over big time with the ECW feud. They had him and Cena go at it and Lashley looked strong. Damm Michael Hayes and him being so in love he fukk up his push.

Before they made the big gold belt a b*stard title Booker T should of won the belt off Hunter at Mania but Hunter had to fukk him over on some I need to look strong since Goldberg is coming in as an excuse.

Kofi was on a track to be at least a main event player before Orton had to fukk him over he could of easily been move up the card after that feud if Orton didn't fukk him.

They had JR put Shelton over as the blue chipper 5* can't miss prospect. There no reason that they shouldn't have had Heyman manage Shelton and Brock. Brock vs Shelton back then would of been and since they are boys Brock would of made him look like a million bucks.

Too many white male egos. WWE is the one "sports league" where white men can be the dominant players.

 

[Jmare007]

When you look back at who has been champion in the last decade, it makes no fukking sense.
