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

[supanegro]

Shoulda been bad news Brown or Booker T... only legit black wwe wrestlers i can think of that deserves a run...especially booker T.

If koko was taller I think they might of pushed him. Not gonna say Ron Simmons because the wwe not gonna try to recreate his wow run..

Sux they rather have a white dude that acts black become champ 16x than give a black dude 1 run..

Racism I'm pretty sure WWE has more loyal black fans than Indian but they've got two champs under that belt the past ten years or so, and neither one of them had IT or whatever you wanna call it. Hispanics had two during that time and we are still sitting at zero. Partly why I've fell all the way back..after watching boxing more its apparent that these cacs try to keep it a white dominated sport because it's scripted and they can. All the other major sports we are always champs and taking over but in wrestling we are portrayed like a literal minstrel show. I thought wrestling would always be dear to me and I would pass it on to my kids but honestly I don't feel that way anymore. They won't see anyone that looks like them do anything but shuck and jive which is a bad image.

Racism is the obvious answer but if we are being straight up honest who did the WWE drop the ball on that was all but guaranteed to be a star. Guys like Kofi Shelton etc. could have had runs with the WWE title but they weren't/aren't looked at as cant miss prospects destined for big things. Now if Lashley would have stayed I think he would have definitely gotten the title a few times over the years.

If Jinder Mahal can get a rocket push then people like Kofi, MVP, Shelton, etc. were more than qualified to get a World Title run.

Naomi is the Smackdown Women's Champ right now

And Jacqueline was two-time Women's Champ back in the day.

None of which had any memorable reigns. Let's see if Naomi outshines Nikki or AJ Lee and then we can talk.

With that being said, I know you guys mean a Black Man winning THE WWE Heavyweight Championship.

 

[TRIPLE M]

Only black KOTR winner

Booker T won it,why he became King Booker

Naomi is the Smackdown Women's Champ right now

And she is been playing the background while the rest of the women are getting most of all the attention.
First everything was center around Charlotte and the Welcoming Committee
Then will Becky turn or not
Then the women MITB
Then all about Carmella fukkery with MITB
She hasn't been a main focal point since her feud with Alexa and will she won't she be at mania.
Her title reign has been so far

 

[MercuryHayes]

Wasn't watching wrestling then but wasn't lashley gonna get that push?

If we had new day Kofi then entire time..he definitely had wwe title potential.

Like I said before though..Most of the black wrestlers weve had were not cool at all. Invasion Booker was GOAT though

 

[dh86]

If Kofi Kingston was white, there'd be zero doubt in my mind that a lifetime achievement title run like Christian would be in store. Instead he's gonna retire when New Day ends and that'll be that.

 

[Riley Escobar]

Because Lashley quit

 

[GOATpernick]

Fukked up

 

[Heelish]

to WCW, TNA, and ROH for doing what WWE is too to do.

According to Johnson in a shoot interview, Austin politicked backstage and killed his push.

He also said someone keyed "Congrats N*GGER" into his car after he won the IC belt, and he was sure it was Austin

Honest Ahm never told a lie, fukk Storm Front

 

[SmarkMero]

Unforgivable! This result crushed my dreams.

Ahmed Johnson: "Vince said I'm next in line for the WWF title!"

Stone Cold: "Oh hell yeah?"

I think with Johnson it had more to do with he kept getting injured and kept hurting people in the ring. Only thing I really remember about his WWF run was winning the IC title because he spent most of his time injured.
