General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

The whole diversity thing is not about AEW not having all kinds of different workers... from the words coming from Swole it's purely about AEW didn't have a black champion yet.

Which is just silly. When a black POC is popular enough to be the top guy AEW will make it happen.

Putting it on Hobbs and not Hangman ain’t it.

 

[Comrade Khan]

the argument is on a basis, that they aren't the right sort of 'non-white'

that's kind of what I feel smtimes too but i can't assume that everyone feels that

 

[Spitfire]

Nyla Rose is the perfect example of diversity

 

[Hoss]

Both Lee Johnson and Moriarty to separate degrees, Scorpio, Private Party (get them away from whatever it is they're doing with Matt because it's doing nothing for any of the three), any woman that isn't Britt Baker or Nyla or Shida, Ricky Starks, Andrade who's been nothing but a doormat/booster for other people.

Nyla is literally black. Moriarty is new on the scene, Lee Johnson is new to wrestling and Private Party are nowhere near Bucks, FTR and Lucha Bros. I believe Ricky is destined for great things, and I don't see how Andrade is relevant? Sammy and Cody both come from Latino heritage and have been singles champs. Andrade could very well be one day but it's not like his heritage is not being represented.

Starks if not injured imo is already better viewed too

Dante Martin they are setting up tho someone said he wasn't black enough to count which was like wtf

This reminds me when people refuse to acknowledge that Cody is a mixed Cuban American.

i didn't even know this

 

[Chris]

Didn't Cody already end racism anyway?

Tony broke it though, I mean you broke it

This is also inherently another problem she brought up outside of diversity. TK brings in all there people and then there's no room for fucking anyone. Malakai Black is is doing barely anything now after the giant signings of Cole, Bryan and Punk. You bring in Keith, he's either going to end up like Andrade/Malakai/Miro or he's going to be overused.

Maybe. That's more of an umbrella criticism that I think most would agree with to some extent, but TK also didn't dispute that fact. I like the way AEW cycles people in and out personally. For example, one of my favorites Lance Archer has been MIA for months but I'm not really complaining about it. I trust that he'll return in a big moment and they'll find something engaging for him when he gets back.
