Mark Henry will be the second. How in the blue hell you don't count the Rock is mindblowing I mean full black, not just half. Does this also mean that the Rock's only ever been a half-champion? /sarcasm

Big E is probably a safe bet.

Does it really matter what colour the champion is? I got really annoyed when Obama became president and everyone was excited because he was the first "black" president. It's almost a form of racism that people can't look past his skin colour and are going on about it all the time. It shouldn't matter what his skin colour is, it shouldn't really be talked about. Only when we don't even notice the colour of someones skin will humanity have moved on. Imagine how crazy it would sound if people went on about who the first blonde haired WWE champion is, same principal as this really. No it's not. Blonde-haired people weren't discriminated against, beaten, lynched, enslaved, and held down for centuries. Blonde-haired people were never classified as 3/5 of a human being. It's not almost a form of racism that people focus on skin color on some issues. It's acknowledging history and signifying progress. It should[/b] be talked about because it's still a big problem in this country.[/quote] This whole thread is a moot point because Ron Simmons became the first African-American World Champion of mainstream pro-wrestling way back in 1992.

Brock Lesnar believes he has a black man's body, so therefore I think he was African American WWE champion 1.5 (Rock being 0.5 obviously)

I like Titus but I don't see it being him. He's a bit late to the dance, but then, he has shown remarkable improvement and Batista wasn't exactly a youngster (unless you use Gorilla's Carlos Colon logic) when he got the WHC either. WWE title is a whole other story.

This topic is retarded.
The Rock was the first black champion. Period.
I'm sorry that doesn't fit your arbitrary and antiquated views on "race". DWI.
EDIT: As for my pick on the first "full blooded" (lol) champ, Big E seems the most logical choice. He's pretty much everything Vince would like in a champion, skin color aside. I hope he wins it just so we never have to have this stupid discussion again.

I'll go on limb and say David Otunga as the dark horse. Is that supposed to be funny? f***, these threads are all starting to bleed into each other.

Time for the yearly "Rock doesn't count as the first black champion" thread I see. Like clockwork.

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? Well Vader is Big E's biological father...

Not counting The Rock Do you see anyone on the current roster being the first African American WWE Champion? If it should of been someone, it should of been Booker T back then, but now if anyone I'd say Kofi Kingston. Booker should and could have been WWE champ. Same with Mark Henry in the last few years. In fact Henry has been one of WWE's best wrestlers of late. However lets not give the belt to Kofi just so we can have a 'first black WWE champ'.. Kofi is not good enough to be WWE champ.
