But, to your point Deezy watch this video if you haven't already: He connects the story to race, but also to so many other things. It's a classy AF promo.

Kofi could, theoretically, go the Foley route of trading the belt back and forth with Bryan.

Pushing this narrative puts an asterisk on him if he was to won the championship

 

[Smart Marx]

It's both Deezy. If Kofi can't do it now with the crowd behind as you say it is, it'll never be time.

 

[Hoss]

There will be cynics no matter what

 

[Deezy]

and the narrative would e changed regardless...oh what about the real.title on Raw...Racists.

 

[Hoss]

Whoever does become the first black WWE Champion, there will be people who will say it's because of race

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Who remembers Ron Simmons's title win.

That was so fucking good.

Tbh if Kofi doesn't do it, The Velveteen Dream is a great candidate

 

[Deezy]

Ron Simmons win has its asterisk too, stemming from the Bill Watts comments

 

[Petty]

So, we had Ron, Rock and the next one being Kofi would be fine with me.

The WWE belt was created in 1963. Any time there's a black performer that connects with the crowd, it's time. It's long overdue. You're never going to escape that asterisk. It'll always be there no matter how eventually does it. It's the unfortunately thing that comes when this is the history. No one batted an eye when Lashley won the TNA belt because TNA already had Truth break that cherry.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

There was also Bobo Brazil.

Tap tap wrap a tap.

 

[Petty]

hell I would have been fine with truth being wwe champ at one time

 

[Hoss]

Truth technically won the NWA World Title but the point stands
