It’s five people way to small of a sample size
Gee I hope more people lose their jobs so we can get some whites in there


Also the man in charge of the releases is non white
Yes that’s exactly what I want to happen

I kinda find it racist to even notice that tbh.
I'm not saying WWE is racist at all here but having eyeballs isn't racist either.

Agree with Booty it's too small a sample size and probably just unfortunate coincidence in this particular case

Also when around half of your current champions are minorities it’s kinda hard to pull the race card

I think it's a relief that both WWE and AEW's recent releases are pragmatic and people who weren't being used (fair or not) and not these highly regarded people cut just for costs that have people scratching their heads. Obviously never great for people to lose their jobs but this feels a lot more like sports cuts.

Oh get off it. I was kidding. You think I believe that race had anything to do with it? Those guys hadn’t done shit for years. Of course they were gonna be cut.

Why so hostile?
While you may have been joking as Dale said there are people pushing that narrative on social media. I was just further showing why that’s a junk narrative. Every response I make in a discussion we are both in isn’t an attack on you.

I think race played an indirect factor but it's more like they're clearly done with the experiments of pushing or attempting to push talent solely to try and get more over in an international market. I think they'll still give some bonus points when signing talent if they have an international appeal, but you're not gonna stay on the roster just because your home country might watch slightly more if you're there

We can’t keep these guys that we can’t get over just because they are Indian instead of let’s cut the Indians

Now this makes Sabs’ non whites comment look even more silly.

This one is a bummer to me. I thought he grew a ton as a performer since his face turn.
