Ok I’m not from usa, so I dont really underestand wrestling. As far as I know its a scripted sketch with real phisical skill necessary to perform the act. But I keep reading about old champions or the first xxx race champion etc. What do you mean champion? If those are actors, so to speak, there are no champion, there is a script to follow. Its like saying Arnold swarzneger was the first terminator to defeat the advanced model in terminator2, what
? Please eli5.

Pro wrestling is essentially a soap opera with no fourth wall, with a story centred around combat sport. The championships are mostly plot devices, though a big company like WWE being willing to make you the “face of the company” as their main champion is obviously also an endorsement of you as a performer.
