I doubt it. It's easier to get an American over here than it is with someone who has a thick foreign accent.

And, by the way, Yokozuna was an American. He was born in San Francisco, CA.

Antonio Inoki

His reign isn't officially recognized by WWE.

 

[soxfan93]

Inoki won the title when it was the WWF, Sammartino when it was the WWWF.

 

[soxfan93]

Inoki doesn't count though, as it's not officially recognized by WWE. That reign never happened.

 

[soxfan93]

As I said earlier, it's incredibly difficult to get a foreigner over as a face in America. Therefore, I doubt it will ever happen.

Tatsu's a face, but he's completely irrelevant. Who else is a face? Gabriel eventually, but he won't win the WWE Championship. Kofi is definitely a possibility. Ezekiel is a future WWE Champion, too, IMO.

 

[soxfan93]

I'm not sure about that, before he joined The Corre he was pretty over.

 

[soxfan93]

I honestly don't think Sheamus would work as a face. His accent is thick and he looks ridiculous. People prefer to make fun of him than cheer for him.

 

[soxfan93]

I agree. I like him, but it'd be incredibly difficult to convince all the kids to cheer for Beaker... I mean Sheamus. :side:

 

[soxfan93]

It's still the same title, the name change doesn't change the fact that they were world champion in the company that is now known as WWE.

I know, I was answering this:

About Inoki and Sammartino, WWE wasn't born at the time right? or am I completely wrong? ^^

And does Morales count? Puerto Rico is a US territory. I guess it depends on the OP's qualifications of a "foreign" champion.

 

[soxfan93]

It's only been a US Territory since 1989, and Pedro won the belt long before that.

Ah, gotcha. I honestly never knew when it was officially named a US Territory. Repped.

Is till think it wasn't WWE at the time, even pedro Morales was WWF champion I think, I was wondering if we ever got a foreign face world champion AFTER Wwe was born

So, since the WWF was hit with a lawsuit and forced to change its name to WWE in May 2002? No.

Frank Andersson

We're talking about WWE.

 

[soxfan93]

Oh, was he in the WCW?

Yes, he was.

 

[soxfan93]

Wasn't Glenn Jacobs born in Spain?

Yes. His first (24-hour) reign was as a heel, but this last one started as a face and ended as a heel. Not very often does a reigning champion turn haha.
