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.

The first X champion is still notable (where X is some demographic)
The same barriers that exist in many industries also exist in pro wrestling and breaking those barriers is notable.
While becoming champion is fake in the sense that the match is fake, behind the scenes it means you’re popular and/or good enough that they want to make you champion. It takes a lot of work and talent to make it that far.
So it would be more like “the first X person to star in a Marvel movie” or “the first X person to win an Oscar”.
