POLL: Should Shelton Benjamin Have Been The FIRST BLACK WWE Champion?

[SirReginald]

When he first came in he was doing well Then, it went down from there and midcard Breh couldn't even get the secondary and ECW belt Hopefully, he wins major gold in Japan.

 

[Tommy Fits]

No he had less charisma than a Jim Duggan 2x4 and was a botch machine

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

If Jack Swagger could then yeah. But as far as being over, MVP, Booker and Kofi probably deserved it way more.

 

[Slystallion]

Absolutely Vince can be a very poor judge of talent...could have been the black Bret Hart

Dude could have had a manager. There's been champions with bad charisma.

 

[The Ruler 09]

No because I think there should have been black champions before that, but Shelton athletically speaking deserved a push and it would have been dope if he had a serious push up the card.

 

[puppetmaster]

Nope and it's not a slight against Shelton either but it should have been Booker T, he came into the WWE with all the pieces a "WWE champ" needs except well. .. ... . ...

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Everyone could have had one

 

[MushroomX]

Ron Simmons for me, right build and solid mic skills.

 

[ALWTHEGOGETTA]

I think it should have been Booker T. He had the looks, the mic skills, in-ring ability, and the charisma to be WWE champion.

 

[The Great One]

Guy had the promo skills of a deaf mute, so no.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

I still believe that Bad News Brown should have been. He was over as hell as a heel and put on great matches along with being able to speak on the mic. Other than that I'd also say MVP was a legit candidate. Shelton was that dude but he needed a manager to get a run, he should have eventually gotten it but he shouldn't have been the first. He is the picture of "great midcarder, capable main eventer"

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

It should've been booker t, but he was dealt with the worst hand; being black and wcw made.

 

[GunRanger]

i still cant believe there hasnt been one yet. Even after the Hogan racist tape, you would think they'd try to do a PC run with a black wrestler. But nope. If there's one thing Vince is principled in it's a not nikkas championship
