Also Cody is famously the son of Dusty Rhodes, while Fuego 2 is the son of Fuego. For these wild theories to be true, Fuego would have to be Dusty. And that's impossible because Dustin is Fuego's dad.

Understandable how you'd make the mistake though as they're all part of the Rhodes family.

I know that Tony and Cody are nerds, but I never expected them to do a Futurama storyline.

The fundamental idea there isn’t bad (although something that only would work as an indie since above that they’d absolutely face problems); it’s just a combination of this being posted the day that a lot of people basically lost their jobs as a “here is how you spend the money you might not have” thing; this being the weirdo “AEW is a far right racist company” person and also him being the “Mexicans and Japanese wrestlers don’t count for diversity in America because they could work in Japan and Mexico” dude that makes this a very silly take.

Clearly Meltzer is the worst because he gave Jaguar Yokota vs. Lioness Asuka from AJW in 1985 a ***** rating, but he didn't even rate Chigusa Nagayo vs. Devil Masami in an equally great match from the same show

I mean when you factor in his wider takes it really is - the idea of an indie that focuses on black talent is a good one: taking it higher wouldn’t work, opens up legal issues I suspect and also sounds dodgy in that way.

Also like I personally don’t like people telling people how to spend money they might not have (especially right after being laid off effectively) without practicing what you preach: talk is easy but action is not.

Yeah, his take is less "focuses on black talent", and more "refuses to hire anyone else, even mixed race", which I don't even think would be legal.

It’s because deathmatches loving rule.

But also they’ve filled that prestige indie spot PWG used to have, but way better because they don’t wait a hundred years to get their shows out for people to watch.

Yeah, I'm reading the proposal at it's most mundane and there's nothing really wrong with that. It's not being enforced in any real way and it would be a drop in the bucket of the opportunities others get. But this specific guy is super weird and kind of racist do he's probably super dumb about it.
