I mean there's definitely been cases of a ton of twitter accounts spamming the same aew hate tweets but I don't know if that's really a bot thing or just a bunch of random jabronis on twitter parroting each other for clicks

It’s possible to think it’s very funny that she could have just let it lie as a mutual parting of ways instead of calling her boss a racist so he decided to tell the world actually she was let go for being a lovely wrestler, whilst not actually holding a ‘grudge’ against Big Swole.

She lost a lot of sympathy in my books when she tried to passive aggressively go after Jade. Getting fired sucks and Tony shouldn't have taken a swing at her but for gently caress's sake Swole.

She did an interview where she was mildly critical of the diversity in AEW, which if I remember right (and admittedly I haven't read the interview in a while) was actually about how they have a lot of representation for POC in the ring but not in creative/agenting/management/etc in the early days and then went out of her way to say they were getting better about it by the time she left and that she had no hard feelings against Tony Kahn. Then it got reported in headlines by other people as "SWOLE SAYS AEW IS RACIST!!!"

You are misremembering the statement she made because her complaint was specifically framed around how her daughter didn’t see anyone in the ring who looked like her when she watched AEW.

i will say, "she called her boss a racist" is a pretty selective takeaway from what was a relatively substantial talk about both her specific issues and broader structural issues that started with "it was time to let it go" and "my heart just stopped being in [aew]." it's not like she's the only person to have ever criticized the amount of time women get on tv or anything. like, even though i don't really agree entirely with her criticism of diversity within aew (and they're also doing better since then) it doesn't mean she was slandering anyone or that it was in bad faith or whatever.

also, i am not sad she's not with aew anymore. she is uh, pretty rough in-ring and that's putting it charitably.

I mean the former is a perfectly valid sentiment, but she lied about the latter part - she didn't leave; AEW didn't pick up her contract. People who got all up in arms about the tweet still bury the lede after the fact about how TK had to be cagey about Jade being planned to win the title that was literally created for her just a few days later, and then Swole complained about that too. I just felt she came off as really disingenuous about the whole thing, so it came off as deflecting into representation issues because she was bitter about something else.

i don't remember a dang thing about the tnt title, what was that about?

i also just sort of assumed the contract thing was a situation where both were kinda telling the truth, in that tk didn't think she was worth bringing back and swole wasn't interested in returning, so they both thought they were the ones to pull the trigger? but maybe that's giving her too much credit.
i do agree she was at least a little bitter tho, she had nothing but negative things to say about the creative process.

Swole said something to the effect of "everyone knows it's going to be Jade but it should've been me". Jade responded by saying "at least one of us is winning it" and Swole came back with something super sarcastic.

To be fair, Swole was way more supportive when Jade actually won so whatever issue that was there seems to have been resolved.

Swole tweeted that the TBS title should have gone to the one they "owe," meaning her, instead of Jade (who she mentioned by name). Jade called her out on that and Swole immediately backpedaled. It was a lovely thing to say, especially from someone putting themselves out there as a supporter/backstage voice for non-white talent.

Exactly. It basically made her look like she just had sour grapes about Jade getting the push she thought she should've gotten, and was using representation/diversity as a way to take shots at her former employer.

Edit: I found it. I forget which forums user has this twitter handle, but good work whoever you are.
