For some reason, I think David Otunga will get a main event push. Knowing WWE's desperation for "mainstream attention", it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I thought for sure MVP would become the first, and I guess that's still a possibility if he returns as a heel. Who do you think will get it first, if any?

Otunga. Yes he's bad now due to being brought up to the main roster far too early, but I feel he will turn it around in time like the Miz has and become worthy of the push we know he'll get and mainstream media attention that will follow.
Kofi deserves a push, but like MVP, I doubt it'll happen, he'll just float around the mid-upper midcard until they lose all faith and make him into a jobber to the stars until he finally quits. Big Zeke and R-Truth will be released in the next round of cuts, they're likely waiting for R-truth to be healthy again before cutting him loose because that's how it seems to work.

I picked Big 'Zeke. Why?
I just watched Royal Rumble 1997 and saw Ahmed Johnson. Note the similarities, then remember that Jackson would make Ahmed look like Evan Bourne.
Haven't had a big "hoss" type of champion in awhile (not since Mark Henry was ECW Champion). If 'Zeke can stay healthy, it's possible. They're giving him the Goldberg-like push with the Magnum TA-style (sub-30 seconds) of matches (couple of punches, urange suplex).
The possibility is there. He just needs to stay healthy.

I voted none of them. We all know Vince doesn't like "the black people." Not to mention, it probably won't be until roughly 2025 when he learns that segregation was declared unconstitutional.

Booker T and The Rock are staring at you in confusion, with Mark Henry (upper card despite not doing a damn thing to deserve it) backing them up.

That only leaves us with The Rock, and even so, he's only half. First 100% black WWE Champion? Darren Young John Cena in blackface.

So you're asking if one specific title will ever be held by a black wrestler, even though multiple titles (including WWF/WWE) have been held by a black wrestler?

I'm not asking, that's what the title of the thread suggests.

None of them, the Rock was the first.
Sorry, I don't really accept that it doesn't count because he also has Samoan heritage.

The WWE title goes to the person that they want as the face of the company. Unless that person actually is the second coming of the Rock, it's not gonna happen.

He was Samoan-American. King Booker was World Champ.

SO what about his time in The Nation? Their entire shtick was being held down because of their race (and Owen Hart). That was when he got big. In recent times, they make sure to point out both sides of his heritage.

Thats a pretty goofy way to view a persons racial heritage friend. Pictured a "not black man". If people are going to make technicalities about a persons race because they have other races in their blood line as well, then chances are we've never had a "white" "black" "red" "yellow" or any other color champion before. The world is a small place and only getting smaller. There are very few places left in the westernized world where you are going to find people without at lest some form of mix heritage no matter what their skin color may be.

There are a ton of black people who have skin tones similar to The Rock. Skin pigmentation is constant across the spectrum.
