I want to show up for an oil change with the car key attached to that belt just to see him have a coronary. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Cross posting this from the Raw thread because I thought it was interesting. I'm very surprised to see the totals are still so low for African American World Champions in wrestling. WWE Championship (3): The Rock | Kofi Kingston | Bobby Lashley WCW World Title (3): Ron Simmons | Booker T | The Rock WWE World Heavyweight Title (2): Booker T | Mark Henry ECW World Title (2): Bobby Lashley | Ezekial Jackson Impact World Title (2): Bobby Lashley | Rich Swann NXT World Title (2): Big E | Keith Lee IWGP Heavyweight Title (1): Bob Sapp ROH World Title (1): Jay Lethal NWA World Title (1): R-Truth WWE Universal Title (0): AEW World Title (0): AWA World Title (0): -Bobby Lashley is the first African American pro wrestler to hold three different world titles. (For the purpose of this list 'World Title' means the top title of a national wrestling brand). There's a legitimate argument for him being one of the most successful African American pro wrestlers of all time. -The WWE Championship is now tied with the WCW World Title for having the most African American champions at 3.

Technico Support Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Great summary, @NoFistsJustFlips. Thanks! Cribbed from "The Dark Side with Nat X," I think point #5 explains the lack of African American AWA champs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Memphis or World Class national brands. WCCW had national tv through syndication but didn't tour outside of their small regional territory. Memphis didn't tour nor did they have national TV. I do count the AWA as a national brand. But those 3 merging their titles didn't last long and basically amounted to just an angle / story line. AWA pulled out of the merger pretty quick and farted around with it on Zybysco forever. So no to USWA / WCCW / Global from my perspective. I know these are all just arbitrary distinctions lol. But trying to explain my logic none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Even though the belts are unified now, it's still possible for someone to win the NJC and beat Ibushi and decide to keep both titles representing the new IWGP World Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
