He was never ROH or NJPW champ either for a reason. Godfather was 20x more over than Shelton ever was, should he have been world champ?

Will you stop all that conspiracy shyt and answer the fukkin question my dude? There's no kool aid drinking. I don't support the reigns and decisions for the vast majority of the things the company does. I fully support any decisions made solely on the purpose of how over someone is and how well their character connects. All I've said is nothing about Shelton stood out to me and I'm asking all of you that say he had "it" to explain what "it" was beyond the fact that OTHER non deserving WHITE wrestlers got a chance at a world title as justification for why Shelton should have.

Exactly. Truth as K Kwik seemed like a good ring hand but an obnoxious stereotype - went to TNA and becomes Sun Tan Superman and killing shyt. Comes back, he's the shyt stereotype again.
So that'd the other talking point - with all the untapped potential by WWE, why hasn't he had the Ron Killings, Jay Lethal success others have had? They apparently gave the man one of the longest IC title reigns, had him associated with Kurt Angle upon debut and what did he do with all of that? How did he distinguish himself afterwards? It's just WWE stop and go pushing that didn't see how good he was? That's the stance you're gonna take?

If Lashley had mic skills, and if the WWE wasn't 
he'd still be champ today.
he'd still be champ today.There's no doubt in my mind that if Bobby Lashley was white he would have been WWE champ.

It's pathetic that the WWE has never had a WWE champion. Not world heavyweight champion but WWE champion. You've had southern based wrestling promotions like WCW and TNA have multiple black champions but not the northeastern based WWE

I think Farooq/Ron Simmons should have won the WWE Title at KOTR 97. I don't care if it's for one day, it would had been cool to see him as champ.

Hell son, Kliq stans round these parts have been trying to say The Great One told people backstage his old man was white. Despite my aspberger's powered encyclopedic knowledge of The Rock's career, I cannot dispute that goddamn rumor.

Ron Simmons was a great promo, he had the athletic credibility and he's a legit tough guy. It's fukked up that he never even got a run as IC Champ.
EDIT: And he's got my favorite version of the spinebuster
