Racism + Wrestling
 

There will never be a truly Black WWE Champion. Discuss.

Define "truly black".

Mommy and Daddy were Black Folk.

Well at least you didn't post a black cock so I have to give you that!

Who was the last black wrestler that was even over? JYD?

Scorpio, Ron Simmons, Booker T

booker but that was wcw

what booker t was champion

Ahmed Johnson

Not WWE champion.

GI Bro

Could see Zack Ryder doing something with that.

Thats sort of silly. WWE Champ, World Heavyweight Champ, all the same too me.

The World Heavyweight Championship is the Minority Heavyweight Championship. Seriously.

Minorities who have held the World Heavyweight Championship, since its inception:

Goldberg
Rey Mysterio
Booker
Khali

List of WWE Champions who have been minorities, since its inception (40 years prior to the WHC):

Inoki (And I'm not sure if this is even recognized)
Iron Sheik
Andre (Not sure if this is officially recognized)
Yokozuna
The Rock
Eddie
Sheamus

Rock, Eddie and Sheamus are the only WWE Champion minorities since the WHC's inception. And in the WHC's 9 year existence, they've had 4. In the WWE Championship's 50 year existence, only seven have held it. That's less than two per decade.

The WHC is the minority title.

There hasn't been a black guy good enough to carry the Title yet..... I'm sorry, but Koko B. Ware & Mabel don't cut the mustard with me.....

how the hell does Sheamus qualify as a minority?

doesn't the WWE recognize the WHC lineage back to WCW, which would mean the Ron Simmons won it too?

Rock is only 1/2 black.

and if we're just gonna start listing foreign guys that won the belt than why the fuck not say Bret Hart while you're at it?

It depends on what you believe, really.

That doesn't list it, and that's pretty official.

As far as I'm concerned, the WCW title was absorbed into the WWE Championship and the WHC just uses the same belt.

Dunno, really. Don't really see Canadians as minorities, unless they're French Canadians.

Pretty sure both titles are equal. Who fucking cares.

Alright then I'll make you a bet, if R-Truth wins the WWE title I will fuck Fangles fat sow of a wife.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that a black person has never won the WWE Championship, even if they are equal. Which I don't believe, because I believe the WWE Championship will always be the title in Vince's eyes, because it's his company's title.

:y:

Obviously not, BUT NOW IT IS, SO GET OVER IT.

I'm still interested in how many people have been raped in the locker-room.

Elmo is a black guy.

Elmo holds down talent, Grover is trying to get over like Zack Ryder

CSL is to posting what Alex Riley is to wrestling. YA HERD.

:shifty:

Lashley an Monty Brown would of won it if they'd stuck around.

Lashley definitely would have had a run as champ. Vince definitely loved his chocolate body. Other than that, I don't see any black guys on the current roster or in development that I would want to see as champ other than R-Truth.

yeah and what i hear vince has liked r-truth for a long time, so he may get a chance of winning the belt.

I still think Kofi has a chance at being a transitional/MITB champion for a brief time.

This and he will likely to be the one to defeat McIntyre or ADR once either of them defeats SuperCena eithey way it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Booker T wasn't over? He was one of the most over guys around 2002-2003.

The Back of Ezekiel Jackson's Head will win the WWE Title in 2013.

After turning heel on Zeke. And stealing his title shot.

Zeke vs The Back of His Own Head for Mania that year

It's not like this guy practises Judaism or something.

I bet there are many more wrestlers with Jewish roots, his name just stands out.

Oh, wait. He does practise Judaism, according to wiki.

Fuck.

Batista is Filipino/Greek but born in America.

funny, out of both feds, WCW was always considered the most racist, compared to the liberal WWF/E

so IMO, Booker becoming the WCW Champ is a bigger accomplishment than most people think

:shifty:

I think his was bigger because not only was he black, but he had been held down for a long time and theoretically deserved the belt a lot soone than he got it.....

lol

Team Big Bird was on fire that year

That's the first one I've ever made, I was bored so I figured what the hell.

Well it makes sense, they broke Bert and Ernie up as a tag, and with Grouch going against Cookie monster in a series of Hardcore matches, and last month Count screwed Big Bird out of the title.

Was the great ape Mizzark Henry EC dub champ?

Wouldn't that make him more of a token champion than being an actual champion WWE would want to focus the show on?

It would be similar to Christian getting his token title reign as a way for the WWE to be able to show they at least gave him something even though nobody wanted him to be champion (ex. Vince).

well that was the russo era, i guess that is the only good thing about russo, he let r-truth get the nwa-tna belt too, crappy writer but lets the black man get a chance.

pretty sure all matters of racism expertise fall on
Shisen Kopf's shoulders around here

:wtf:


Yesss, lets hope.

Thread was about black champions, so, no there has never been a black WWE champion and no the WHC is not treated the same way.

When has the WWE Championship EVER been defended IN THE FIRST MATCH at a Wrestlemania? Exactly. Honestly, unless they swerve us and put the title on Truth, if even for a brief moment, Kofi is probably next in line to actually have a shot.

Rikishi saw this shit coming a long time ago.

I say give Justin Gabriel the WWE title, he's blacker than R-Truth can ever be :shifty:

Well, he's from Africa.

Not really black. :shifty:

Look who's back :love:
