Man listening to the whole podcast and goddamn TK is on such overly emotional fukkshyt. Swole was saying good things about TK up and down the podcast about how generous he was, taking talent out to dinner, being a nice guy, and how incredible that he's managed to make everything work, and he does this shyt.

this is how you’re spending your New Years? I feel sorry for you.
Honestly Swole should not have even included Non black POC in her statements she should have outright said that there isn't enough black representation in AEW. She was trying to be nice and be inclusive but them mf's can't even be bothered to have her back. Typical non black POC behavior

The more I think on this, the more TK is being an idiot. Wrestling history says most all promoters had wrestlers of high rank (main event/upper midcard) to appeal to ethnic demographics in their territory.
Vince J. McMahon = Bobo for black folks, Bruno for the Italians, Pedro Morales for the Puerto Ricans, hell he called Hulk Hogan "Hogan" to appeal to the Irish.
Ole Anderson's prejudiced ass = Thunderbolt Patterson, Tony Atlas, etc. booked blacks to draw to a black audience
Vince K. McMahon = Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson, JYD, Tito Santana as I-C Champion, tried to make Ahmed Johnson, put the belt on Eddy and Rey to draw Hispanics, put the belt on Great Khali and Jinder Mahal to draw Indian fans (and yeah he had Saba Simba, Kamala, Mexicools, so he is nowhere near perfect, but he understood representation to reach an audience for monetary reasons.)
Bill Watts - JYD, Butch Reed, Ron Simmons in WCW
Numerous southwest promoters had tons of Mexican stars to draw. (Guerreros, Gino Hernandez, Manny Fernandez, etc.)
Ernie Ladd was a big star wherever he went.
Who does TK have that is an upper midcard/main event level guy who is black? No one. Eddie is there as an NY Puerto Rican. Who else? Lucha Bros have just got there. Santana and Ortiz have not gotten the belts and get overlooked a lot. Scorpio Sky is not at that level, neither are Hobbs or Starks, although they can be one day. AEW has struggled to grow past 1 million viewers ever since NXT left Wednesday nights, and maybe, just maybe part of that reason is because they don't appeal to any demographic but 18-49 and their top male wrestlers have little diversity. How many angles from Kenny and the Bucks are filled with frat boy humor? Does that appeal to black folk? Does anything on the show culturally appeal to us? WWE has New Day, Street Profits, Bianca, MVP, Lashley... all different but all seem authentically black and I can identify with them as main event wrestlers. Impact has Moose, Rich Swann, etc. ROH had Lethal, Gresham, etc. Again, who does AEW have? Swole has a point, but you know "RACISM!!!!"
