There is a weirdly racist undertow that only blacks are POC to them because yeah Japanese/Asian dont count nor do Hispanic wrestlers.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the majority of the people complaining about that are white and just looking for Twitter points.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Very i would've voted Obama a third time vibes.

"How do they make compelling storylines for all these guys" as if they didn't literally just create a bunch of new ones in one segment tonight

Yes, how are they possibly going to find things for number one contender Ruby Soho, new Elite member Adam Cole, and insanely over megaface Bryan Danielson to do?


That's the Christian Cage who was *literally in the main event* tonight, right?

Ah yes, the guy rejoining the top faction in the company, which he was literally a member of for years long before AEW existed, is getting demoted.

I think she's saying that Page is getting demoted, not Cole. Which is also absurdly wrong, just for different reasons.

Honestly feels like WWE is banking on Parker Gable and Bronson Steiner to be the next big 3. If 1 of them hits they are good if 2 of them hit even better. If all 3 hit then that's curtains. It basically validates every decision they've made these past couple years.

if all 3 of these guys who have never stepped foot in a pro wrestling ring become stars, then it's game over for AEW.
