You read those tweets and an “instant rise to stardom” is what you got out of it? Yikes

yeah they signed a bunch of jobbers even tho i think Private Party is legit and definitely getting a decent push at the moment it just needs to be consistent. gotta be rough to get a push in that tag division because it's kinda stacked now.
Marq Quen's match with Cody really put them over in my opinion and i was glad to see it because AEW's black roster is mostly jobbers. I do like that Big Swole has been a consistent thorn in Britt Baker's side.. She is fiery and seems to be naturally better on screen than her husband Cedric who is happy to be there when he's on screen in WWE.

It's always hilarious when they tell on themselves.

Reminds me of when I simply mentioned Lee Johnson having the look of a star and how it's a shame all they have him doing is jobbing and some dikkhead on this site responded with "He's got like less than 10 matches. Are they supposed to give him the world title now?"
so much for "bbbbut they got Big Swole is that not enough?"
imagine being so wrong about something

Its not that deep breh....
AEW is in a similar situation with black male wrestlers as their women's division. WWE picked the market clean before AEW was getting its shoes on and even Impact managed to scoop a few hidden gems.

I’m iffy on the pandemic tweet, but everything else Lio said was spot on (including the tweets mentioning Naomi that aren’t posted there). We’ve seen a lot of that 100% play out but a certain segment of the wrestling fanbase turns a blind eye.

false rhetoric that has been debunked time and time again, there are countless quality black male wrestlers available to sign
this is on right now.

who is the best technical wrestler that he is referring to???
is it jay lethal??
i dont see why people are going in on AEW. its not their fault that the majority of the top black wrestlers have been off the market since they launched.
theyve done well with what they have tho.
and it feels like they go out of their way to give a platform to black wrestlers on Dark, but its really not a good look when theyre all enhancement workers jobbing in every match.
i cant ride for this one.
the latinos are the ones who should be complaining about AEW. the way theyve been doing LAX & the lucha bros is just SCUST.
like who??
keep in mind, AEW has limited TV time. there isnt much wiggle room for just anybody to get in where they fit in.
they should give a real deal to Cade.
other than that, who else is there? i wanna say fred yehi but he dissappeared, i think.

i been away to long, my feeling died.
Lashley is being wasted and I blame Heyman. He wrote the stupid Lana angle. You want to say he was cooled off. Blame Lana and MVP. At this stage in career, lashley should be on his own.They literally rather bring back Slater, Big Show, and Edge or give Orton more time than push some of the other black talent.
And to do the “Bu Bu Bu Bu” to check the box off. When they do use them, they prefer to do the “kill 2 birds with 1 stone” method of putting them all in an angle with each other like have Bobby feud with Truth, Ced and Ricochet
As for black talent getting a push against Drew or Braun.
The only legit contender is Kofi. Swerve isn’t ready. Keith Lee will be when he gets the call .
Kofi needs to drop the dead weight of Big E. He carried him enough already.
As for women.
Sasha is the tier one generation talent. Bianca needs a year or so before she gets to that level. Naomi is good as transitional champ or better yet in the tag division with Mia or Liv.
