I’m an AEW watcher but I don’t think I should say anything on this matter being that I’m not black.What you want to hear from me?
Also, if you trynna call folks out.... your list a little light

I was with him until he started trying to say that S.D. Jones and Koko B. Ware weren't jobbers and were being unfairly compared to fukking Jerry Flynn of all people (I think people should check out Koko's Memphis work, including one of the best and most brutal squashes of all time, but he WAS a jobber and I guarantee more people care about him than fukking Jerry Flynn)
Should AEW be pushing more minority talent? Sure. Is the industry racist as fukk? Absolutely. But dude had about 3-4 good tweets before he decided to start making ridiculous claims.
Like, changing your style so you're not working like an unsafe botcher who was always hurt is somehow racist? Come on, don't fukk up the legitimate points you have by overstating the case.
Who is he referring to? I assume Keith Lee, Sasha and Ricochet for 1, 3, and 4, but what about best technical wrestler and best manager? I ain't watched in a long while
Nah - dude has a point.
You're talking about them in terms of their WWF runs, where they were always booked to lose.
Koko B Ware had an 8 year long career before he went up north and SD Jones was putting in work in NWA too. That is the reason they're Hall Of Famers. Not just because Vince booked them to count the lights everytime they hit the ring.
Why am I being mentioned in this? I shyt equally on both products. All wrestling is racist hence I stream illegally and watch NXT/AEW only.
I assumed it was Gresham and MVP,
It just goes to show how many Black wrestlers there are out there right now.
Also - the fact that Fred Yehi hasn't been picked up by a major company is fukkING CRIMINAL

I was seeing some of this last night and he’s not wrong at all. I noticed when corona first hit, it’s like every jobber I saw (in the WWE as well) was black, literally every single one, and I don’t feel like that was a coincidence at all. There’s this one dude Denzel Dejournette that’s like 6’2” 260 and getting mopped up like he’s the size of Marko Stunt. That makes no sense.
Meanwhile fukkin Marko Stunt is on TV EVERY WEEK and even had a storyline
Breh, I was ASTOUNDED when I found out he’s only 26-27 years old.
To be that young and that insanely talented? How the fukk has nobody managed to scoop him up yet???
I know, fam. I know.
.
I know he's just enhancement talent, but the fact there's not a single featured BLACK male featured on Dynamite every week while they trumpet equality and progressive every week is laughable. Even the black males signed to AEW are enhancement talents: Sonny Kiss, Scorpio Sky, Ricky Starks and Sugar Dunkerton. They get featured for a week or two (in Scorpio's case, three months), and they're off the screen immediately. They have NO plans for them. They don't have any characters. Meanwhile, you have fukkin Marko Stunt on screen every week. You have MJF cutting the same promo.
AEW has a real problem. They clearly want to be progressive, but it's just lip service when it comes to black people IMO. Even the idiots at Impact are trying with Willie Mack, Chris Bey and Moose.
