The rock's thoughts on George floyd

Aryan Elite WrestlingAEW is starting to look very
Let me preface this by saying there's posts going around amongst black wrestlers highlighting that if they speak up on #BLM, or the George Floyd protests, there's a chance that it'd affect their future bookings. I'm not SAYING AEW's name popped up, but point a went to point b (A Company that doesn't hire many black wrestlers in the first place) real quick.
Idk what started it, but AJ Gray & a couple of black fans/podcasters went in on twitter on AEW promising diversity and inclusion during it's inception, only to have all of 4-5 or so signed black people on the show that never get any significant screen time. I think Cody TRIED to pacify this by pointing out they have a POC as a champion (Shida) and a black man as one of their inaugural champions, but he made it worse because it came off as basically saying "I have a [insert token minority here] friend". Fans tried to point to Pineapple Pete as a person who is regularly on the show, who clapped back with this;
And he's right. Outside of a One-Off appearance, he hasn't been on as a wrestler since then I think. And neither count AEW Dark as being "On the show" since it's basically lower-carders getting wins over jobber talent (Who again, are usually black).
I'm on record as saying I fukk with AEW... but as a black fan, I can acknowledge they make a point. It comes off as especially egregious after you go back and watch the announcement of the company and see them promising diversity and inclusion as a sticking point of things they'll try to excel in.

I started watching wrestling again during this pandemic, but it’s time for me to throw this s#it in the bushes again. The whole industry is a fantasy based on white men’s insecurities.

Apparently this is Cody's burner account
I wanna like Tony Kahn. Him being a fan in a position of power aside, dude seems solid enough. But with what we've learned about his VP and others in high positions in AEW over the weekend and what'll probably end up coming out later, I hope he's sat down with the ones who share similar sentiments with Linda before he typed that response out.
Be a good time to make that Teddy Long shoot on Ric Flair to go viral.

Can't lie and act like I'm not disappointed from AEW's side on this.
