He doesn't have to be fully Black. Most of all the Issue Really is why other black Wrestlers before and after him have had the WWE Title.
I absolutely agree. That's why I said the question should be "Why hasn't there been a black WWE Champion since the Rock."
This issue is sensitive to me because about 2 decades ago, I faced a really nasty group of people who tried to deny my Shawnee heritage. For some reason, they claimed since my grandmother had sex with a white man that it makes me not Shawnee. It's hurtful and irritating when people do this. So yeah, some of the comments on this thread have been really bad in my view. There are plenty of other black wrestlers before and after that should have been WWE Champion. That is exceptionally true.
