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

[Ben Ovabich]

I'm at a point right now where I don't care. It’s obvious WWE is catering to a certain crowd… They are worried if they put the WWE championship on a black man it would cause low ratings and sales…

Nah..they already had all of that during the CM punk title run.

I thought you meant active participation not audience.

I meant both.


When I watch wrestling or mma...I don't feel like I see more of us in the cage than in the ring. And if you look at the avg. WWE audience in comparison to the average UFC/Bellator audience, you see the difference.

There's noticeable amounts of black ppl @ WWE events. If you look in the crowd at a UFC/Bellator show, the only black ppl you usually see in the crowd are black fighters.

There should be more than enough black fans who would gravitate to a blk champ in WWE and help them draw/move merch. They just won't do it.


MMA(rightly or wrongly) is seen as an "exodus sport" for white folks....but some of the biggest events in MMA have involved black fighters. There's no excuse on either side of the barricade for WWE not to push brehs. They just wanna keep conditioning the neckbeards.

Which belt do we really want at the moment?

AJ's or Brock's?

But they already have low ratings and sales.

Because demographics say women like him and men respect him. That’s what I read on 411mania years ago.
Question why doesn’t DVon Dudley get mention as being a tag team innovater ? Multiple champion in ECW, WWE and in TNA with 2 sons who just had a tryout with the E? Why doesn’t he get mentioned?
In my opinion the only black wrestlers that have a chance to be champion:
Sasha to good to be denied even with the comeupd coming soon.
Kofi best in the New Day bay miles
Lashley without lio Rush
