Farooq was the first Black WCW champ. Bradshaw wasn't the first anything.:ld:

NOD >>>> Bradshaw's cabinet

Bradshaw was lucky with the timing of his big solo run. George W. Bush second term had just started - Loud mouth, rich, racist Texans were well and truly a part of the zeitgeist, so the character was 'right place right time', and he went the extra mile to make it work.

But Farooq didn't touch up Edge in the showers, so I'm gonna have to rock with Mr. Simmons. :yeshrug:

Here's how I look at it.

Being the first Black WCW Champion, and being the longest reigning champion in SmackDown history are incredible accomplishments.

Both being members of one of the most entertaining tag teams of all time... great accomplishment.

This is where I differentiate:

One guys factions biggest superstar was Orlando Jordan.

.... the others was the Rock.

Yep. Pretty much my answer.

I can't call it. But Farooq's finisher looked like it was always 1 inch from breaking someone's neck :merchant:

Only reason Bradshaw got the belt was Eddie. That was it. He wasn't someone they were ever gonna give the belt.
