I'm fine with black wrestlers getting opportunities no matter how it happens, but this fool is really going to act like all these hirings are just coincidental? Swerve and Lee will be the only ones who they'll invest in, while the others will be relegated to Dark and then quietly dropped.

I'll give AEW credit for being reactive and signing the guys they should have but now we gotta see how they manage them

Hopefully, TK manages them better than he manages Jay Lethal.

Some people have claimed his contract is for limited dates with AEW with the option to work in other promotions (Hence why hes doing New Japan Strong, Terminus etc right now). I dont know how true that is, but when he was on Talk is Jericho a couple of months ago when he signed he alludes to it and the flexibility

Thats probably why people are still going to them even with the backlog, you'll get national tv exposure and still a chance to work elsewhere while you wait your call up and they still gonna pay you

I dont if thats smart for TK in the long run but thats his decision lol

Notes from Tony Khan's AEW Revolution Media Call

• Tony Khan welcomes everyone to the call and says tonight is a big night with a big announcement.
• Tony Khan says he believes there's better representation now than there's been before in #AEW in terms of diversity. Mentions the amount of diverse talent being pushed right now is helping grow the numbers in those respective metrics.
• Khan says growing the African American audience is very important to the company.

Always cared? It took him being called out, and even then he pushed back. Look at AEW the the last 2 years vs Feburary of this year, he's signed a bunch of black wrestlers with no plans on how to use them. Let's not forget the black history rap album that completely tanked.

So no acknowledgement or apology for inciting a racist hate mob against her? The talk about merit is hilarious, especially given the nature of pro wrestling. He's full of shyt.

Tony lived long enough to become the villain.
