I think the biggest thing that hurt private party was their brand was the most insane flyers in the company, jump higher, flip more etc. Then top flight got signed.

Also, once all four of those guys have some more polish a match between them would be insane. I think Private Party has grown from just being the crazy high flyer guys with their HFO association and heel turn. They've got much more dimension to them than they had when AEW first started.
with top flight around, i feel like private party are now being groomed to be the next-gen equivalent of the young bucks

I would have thought that before the 8 man on Rampage, now I think the Dynamite challengers might end up as Dante Martin and Matt Sydal. Possible for down the line but I guess that depends how soon PNP decide to challenge.

No they do exist but the thing is their takes tend to be when they go deep deep down the rabbit hole and say things like Scorpio Sky is in a better spot than Roman Reigns.

there are plenty. the number of well-adjusted and normal people with reasonable views and opinions posting about wrestling on twitter is very low. there are racist AEW fans who argue with liberal WWE fans and racist WWE fans who argue with liberal AEW fans about the same poo poo with which side the companies fall on in their heads being reversed.

But yes the narrative of AEW on twitter us that AEW us racist and non-inclusice. Its taken hold and now its hit the point where people saying its a quote "SJW" movement against AEW by the more dumb AEW fans. There is a lot of this.

Some of the saner ones who rather than just saying AEW is Racist or out of hand just rejecting examples do make a cogent point on representation - AEW has found main event slots and appearances for people like Yuta wheeler, Fuego del Sol and Daniel Garcia on the main shows without needing to ride a wave of Dark matches. The same can be done for Sonny Kiss, Ricky Starks and Lee Moriarty. The issue is when the accounts are just on "where the POC main eventers?" And when asked who that would be just start shouting that AEW is not an inclusive alternative to WWE and that you need to be buying New Day merch.

Edit: the other is the availability of ready made black talent who is not sigmed to WWE which is currently a very short list. AEW grabbed Lee Moriarty which was very good but beyond him its Willie Mack and Jay Lethal.

WWE booking minorities is not always racist but it's absolutely ignorant.

Apollo Crews' parents might be from Nigeria but why is he a total caricature with a one-note stereotype as his muscle
Xia Li has a neat Mortal Kombat faction but they're also just video game villains with no personalities
Odd couple pairing with Zoey Starks and Io Shirai, who was apparently raised in the most remote part of the world where she thinks Japanese people all know each other because they share a language and has never heard of Sushi before
Speaking of, Io Shirai her old tag team partner Kairi Sane who got stuck in two different tag teams with Asuka & Io Shirai because they didn't know how to book a babyface who couldn't speak English

Those are just some recent examples but if they've got enough people, minorities almost always feud with other minorities. Latinos vs Latinos for example. Big E is the RAW Champion and in the last two years I only remember Roman Reigns as his only non-black wrestler feud

There's not as many black people at the top of AEW but at least the company doesn't start taking victory laps in PR because they had their first ever women's main event, or had a black champion, or have someone who's openly gay. In AEW they're all just wrestlers, their race, sexuality, etc doesn't make a big difference because it's never been an important part of someone's character.

Not sure it's in any order, coz I don't believe there's 496 black wrestlers better than ACH. There's not 496 wrestlers of any ethnicity better than him.
