Still, during both the WCW and TNA periods, WWE had time.

Well they were certainly trying with Ahmed Johnson. If he could just stay healthy, he probably would have been a WWE champion in either '96 or '97.

Tap tap wrap a tap.

 

[Hoss]

I suppose that's up for interpretation GFK

 

[Hoss]

He's half black. Which most people would consider black. But, they've never had a non-half black guy win it. So, I guess that raises some questions?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

He was the second Samoan to win the WWF Championship. I think the is he black debate will end if Kofi wins because then there will at least be one other black WWE Champion.

 

[Barry Poppins]

so dwayne doesn't count as being a black champion despite having samoan in him?

Pretty much. Because he's half Samoan he "doesn't count".

Tap tap wrap a tap.

 

[Petty]

but he is half black. So, it does count though.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Even if you counted him, that was 1998 and that's still sad as fuck.

 

[Deezy]

Smackdown titles didn't count....fuck you Book and Mark Henry

 

[Petty]

Well, he got himself over. So..sad or not sad. WWE dropped the ball over the years...hopefully they don't again.

 

[Hoss]

The WWE Championship is the crown jewel of the company.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Killa, the reason people question it is because he wasn't he first Samoan Champion but after him WWE has never booked a second black Champion. So Vince clearly doesn't mind Samoan WWF Champions, but it seems he doesn't want to book black ones.

 

[Deezy]

hey other races, you don't count

 

[Hoss]

Every other world title in the company takes a backseat to its legacy

 

[Ricky Smarks]

WWE Championship isn't the World Title. Separate belts. The World Title doesn't even exist anymore it was so irrelevant.

 

[Petty]

Vince has made some questionable decisions for awhile now.
