AJ Gray goes in on Wrestling Twitter following blowback for pointing out lack of Diversity

[El_Mero_Mero]

Never heard of this enhancement talent guy AJ Gray. This thread and his tweets did get me to look into him though, so that's a start. If he keeps working hard, he'll get a chance. For those that never seen or heard him, here's a match:



and here's an interview:


Not sure if he cuts promos with that voice, but that's why folks like MVP exist.

Tons of pleas being cop'd in here. Fans/stans that defend these companies practices are part of the issue as well.

I can’t find a younger black wrestler that doesn’t sound like that lol

I got negged for my post in here, cuz you know, society is becoming softer, but...I never heard of this guy before.

I guarantee some lurkers on here never heard of this guy. My posting a match of his in this thread is only going to get more eyes on him. I know he lost in the match and that may have hurt some people's feelings, but that was the latest upload on YouTube when I searched for his matches. I wasn't the booker.


As far as his voice, people make fun of Ricochet's voice all the time, so...get over it. Best of luck to him.

AR Fox should be on everyones radar but I think he had some tape or something that has companies like . He seems happy wit his training school and his wifey.

I would think a company that labels itself as being progressive wouldn't hold that old "gay-for-pay porn" thing against Fox this long after it happened.

you would think... but WWE owns Evolve and he's one of the few who wasn't given an opportunity to appear on WWE/NXT TV. It's strange because he's had great matches with so many WWE wrestlers and some while they were contracted (on Evolve tho). None of these busters can put in a good word. Think about how much Evolve talent has been either brought in or signed by WWE. Adrian Alanis, Leon Ruff, Liam Gray, Austin Theory, Gargano, Ciampa, Drew Gulak, JD Drake, Timothy Thatcher, Oney Lorcan, Tony Nese, Fabien Eichner, Dominik Dijacovik, Stokely Hathaway, even Priscilla Kelly got a match. I think Riddle, Keith Lee, and Shane Strickland also could apply to that. Don't make no sense to me.

Its crazy that the only company to give dude a shot was Lucha Underground. He's talented as hell.

idk what the difference between a second brand and a second show is it's the same to me lol, but when they re'd up with tnt that was a part of the announcement, even if AEW didnt have much to compete for there's still ways to get people in the spotlight and showcase them, darby allin and orange cassidy for example are crazy over despite never having won a championship in AEW yet, mjf is basically a made man and has that ring shyt

saieve split from mlw and got them to release him from his contract because he was against them having ties to that pedo dude chasyn or whatever his name is

2nd brand = seperate roster

so that dude they just added to injustice, is gone already??

meanwhile lars sullivan is still employed and has a tape of his own out there

all I know is that a second show is confirmed, I dont know if that entails a brand split or not but either way I'd imagine it opens up more opportunities for more signings because of the possibility of more tv time to give away

and yeah saieve didnt even get to appear on a show or anything, it seems like he immediately backed out the moment he found out that they had ties to chasyn and put pressure on them to release him asap, so he's back on the market

Eat a dikk, fakkit.

All I said was give them more than 3 months to prove what they're gonna do.

I said give em a year 1st.


October's 2 months away from 1 year of Dynamite.

You were crying back in January when the show had been on 3 months.

I would listen to podcasts all the time and hear these crazy stories about Vince and some of the stuff that he comes up with. It just sounded like a comic book or something. But, actually experiencing it live. Like, I’ll never forget when he explained the whole he wanted Bobby to start bending over and me pointing at his ass. Like, he reenacted it. He showed us what he wanted and it was so crazy.

I was wondering how this came about. I understand the body builder posing to a certain extent, but the bending over and flexing butt muscles was 100% for Vince.
