Actually you brought up Jade specifically and I was responding to that. You picked someone as an example that's still really green compared to others that have been mentioned who should have had championship runs years ago.
I didn't bring up Jade, the poster above me did. Again, if you have nothing to add about the abscense of Black wrestlers on AEW tv, then move along.

Thats the truth, AEW isn’t sidelining complete performers. The day Big E joined the new day in 2015 he was a complete performer and ready to main event. He was ready all this time, Kofi was ready in 2009, Lashley was ready in 2007. Shelton was ready in 2004, Ricochet was ready in 2018. It’s borderline disrespectful to look at Will Hobbs, Scorpio Sky & Ricky Starks today, and say they’re ready just like the guys I just named.

Starks is absolutely a complete performer (no pun intended). Say what you will about his promo game, but Scorpio Sky is a complete performer (he's a better promo than Kenny Omega and he's World Champ :yeshrug:). Hobbs isn't quite there yet ring-wise, but you can kind of mask that by booking him with the right people. All 3 can easily be believable, credible main eventers if you give them a build up.

You know who's not ready? Sammy Guevara. You whose title win doesn't mean shyt to me because he doesn't seem special after being so over exposed to him on tv? Me.

If they were gonna turn someone face out of Team Taz, they should have had Hobbs leave and he wins. That's a more believable opponent to beat Miro than this twig.

Or could have got the Nightmare family stench off Lee Johnson and pushed him properly. He's as good as Sammy or better.

I used to be higher on Sky's promo, he got washed just this week by both his cohorts and Ethan Page had to save him cuz he was killing the heat.



Needs to deliver with more anger and intensity. He fits being a face more. Great in ring, and definitely should have been an established singles talent by now though...

There have been several white wrestlers who are consistently on tv who "aren't ready" (2.0, Statlander, Marko Stunt, DMD, etc.), but the Black talent has to be perfect before they get to appear on tv regularly.


Lol @ baker not being ready.

Stattlander was one of the best women they had at the beginning.

The rest of these are Jobbers and sidekicks.


This isn't a situation like Kofi (who should have been champ a decade ago), Lashley (who should have been at the top of the card when he returned in 2018 and should have been running things 15 years ago), and Truth (it's ridiculous he hasn't had another main event level program). Jade literally made her debut this year, she's #3 in the latest rankings, and tomorrow night she's in another high profile spot against Nyla Rose (the former champ) and Thunder Rosa (who's one of their best womens wrestlers and happens to be #2). There is zero reason to sound the alarm about Jade being held back.


That's what I'm saying. These dudes sat & watched the WWE keep black talent under the armpit for decades and ain't do chit but continue to support them..........but now that the WWE is giving out buttered biscuits, they want to play judge & jury on AEW.

Up here playing stupid like green guys should be headlining ppvs or some chit.


lol shut the fukk up

You tried to sound pro black, but you fukked up when you decided to stan 2 white women who can't wrestle for shyt. Britt's only where she's at because of her mic work, and Statlander botches every fukking week.:mjlol:

If Kenny was half the wrestler he is now, he’d probably be a tag guy too. No matter what team he’s in or what story he’s in, Sky is getting outshined. When you see him talk then see Ethan Page talk, who comes across as the star?

I think Ricky beats Sammy down the line thats not exactly the road id go down personally. Id have MJF win and become the face of TNT while his actions "almost get them thrown off the network"until a new face Hobbs, Big Shotty or Starks even beat him.
