So either those two guys were the only black wrestlers capable of being successful as heavyweight champ, or WWE has dropped the ball a few times over the years.
Great example: Ron Simmons as WCW heavyweight champ... so it is only logical that WWF repackaged him as Farooq Asaad, dress him in a shitty, blue foam gladiator outfit, and have him managed by Sunny. What part of that made him scream "world champion"?

...DAMN!
