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

[Double J]

If a half-breed like Obama can be considered the first black President then why can't Rock, who is also a half-breed, be considered the first black WWE champion?

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

yes he is, you can add the greatest as well

Then why isn't he marketed as such?

Because people’s first question will be why hasn’t there been another one

 

[Yade]

All I know is if they have another black champion they should let him write his own promos because WWE sure can’t come up with that kinda material

After Cena called their bluff and pulled out of the GRR, I doubt anyone, let alone a black man, gets big enough in the company to be able to write his own promos.

True but you always got people complaining that there's never been a black WWE champ ignoring the fact that Rock is an 8 time champ.

So a WHC or a Universal title reign wouldn't count since they were/are considered equal and world titles?

If so then Booker T and Mark Henry ring a bell.

WHC or Universal title wouldn't count cause they are secondary to the WWE Championship (aka Vince's belt)

oh they coming. "he never acknowledged being Black" depsite the fact that his black ass daddy was involved in his 1st wrestlemania match. but if Dwyane Johnson isn't "Black" then neither are Sasha Banks, J Cole, Alicia Keys, Naomi Osaka, etc

Right! Like how many times did we have to see Rocky Johnson before people knew Rock's father was Black? His whole name was a reference to his father & grandfather

"B-b-but they talk more about his Samoan side..." There's like 30 of them MFs in wrestling!
