Mark Henry will be the second. How in the blue hell you don't count the Rock is mindblowing Well if you listen to most of his interviews and tweets and promos, he clearly identifies more with being Samoan. In his movies, he's usually Racially ambiguous instead of Black.

Does half painted in black Roddy Piper qualify as a potential first African American WWE Champion, or are we nit-picking? The bigger issue would be to do that he'd have to have won the title in the first place. I said "qualify as a potential" as in what if he comes back next week half painted and pins Randy in a title match. I just wanted to know if he has a chance to do so in future or not.

Well he's a white guy who was never WWE champion, so yeah he's probably the first. What if Big E would paint himself half white? I suppose he'd be about halfway done with his makeup for WWE Films' 21st century retort to Black Like Me. Mark Henry will be the second. How in the blue hell you don't count the Rock is mindblowing Well if you listen to most of his interviews and tweets and promos, he clearly identifies more with being Samoan. In his movies, he's usually Racially ambiguous instead of Black. I dunno, I read his interview in a recent Essence magazine and he was all about being a black man making love to black women.

I go ahead and count The Rock, but who will be the second? Out of the current crop of WWE talent, I think Big E. Langston might win it some day. Mark Henry has an outside shot at winning it, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Big E. Langston. But someone will find out he's an eighth Korean and we'll have another thread pondering, "Who Will Be The First Black WWE Champion?

If Darren Young becomes champion, will we think of him more as
The First (full) Black WWE Champion
or
The First (openly) Gay WWE Champion?

Not sure if Darren Young is full-black but could he be both the first full-black AND homosexual wwe champion?

Even if you count the Rock, it still means only one guy has been the black champ ever. Just saying.
PS. We need a Virgil title reign.

But then you'll have people who question him for maybe not being gay enough. They might say he's bi, and then there will be people saying, y'know, bi people really are more/less straight.

Still think Shelton is charisma away from taking the title...and Rock is half...WCW had Simmons...I think he means a complete dominate black male the OP does...Shelton has the tools as a worker but cant do a damn thing on the mic...Titus has the body and energy but hes the Warlord to me...Seriously don't see it soon cause Young is really weak in the ring...everyone knows to lead with the left in wrestling and he stumbles over it all and has a very basic create a wrestler moveset...Woods maybe if they strive hard and get people into the Rocky genre cause a new movie is about to pop off
