#1.) First African American ECW & TNA World Heavyweight Champion

Bobby Lashley was pushed as the superman of ECW in the not-so-well-received PPV December to Dismember, he won an Elimination Chamber match to become the first-ever African American ECW World Champion. He would have another short run with it before relinquishing it.

About 7 years after his last world title win, he returned to Impact Wrestling for a second stint and defeated Eric Young to become a TNA World Heavyweight Champion, once again, becoming the first African American to accomplish this. He would have a total of four world title runs with TNA, making him a six-time World Champion on paper.
