forkboy84 posted:"Bill Watts wasn't racist because JYD was his top guy" logic Not to mention Ernie Ladd booked most of JYD's top guy run, and was probably the first black booker in any prominent US territory. Back on topic, Jade Cargill might not be a world champion per se, but she's an undefeated champion who is a major part of AEW's marketing strategy.

rotinaj posted:Aew can have issues being mostly white in title lineages AND wwe can be owned by a crazy old racist I was curious to see what the representation of AEW titles actually was so I ran the numbers on all the champions AEW Title: 0 of 9 AEW Women's Title: 4 of 7 AEW International Title: 0 of 2 TNT Title: 8 of 18 TBS Title: 1 of 1 FTW Title: 2 of 3 Tag Title: 7 of 22 Trios: 2 of 12 Aside from Big Plat I'd say they're doing pretty well?

And when people were making comments about how AEW hasnt pushed many Black people, the next big announcement was hiring Jay Lethal  Aew could be worse but it could also be better Edit: you know, i am totes wrong. The vibe is still there because not many of those runs were very good or memorable, but they have been doing way better than my memory told me.

Unless you have an unstated premise like 'the men's world championship is the only belt that matters' or there's a quota or other formula you're operating on for belt distribution.

Yeah well maybe i have forgotten that the years 2022 and 2023 happened at all and have massively improved the numbers of minority champions, did you ever think of that, smart guy

rotinaj posted:Aew can have issues being mostly white in title lineages AND wwe can be owned by a crazy old racist Not....really. The men's world title has always just been on the person it needs to be on for story and business reasons and all the other titles have tons of PoC, with some of the best reigns. We're not that far removed from the tag titles being a totally black story. EDIT: And I am beaten by like a million miles, nevermind.

You’re not just a little bit wrong you’re hilariously wrong on your numbers and it’s not a “wasn’t memorable” issue when you completely overlook The Acclaimed who are the hottest team in the company were just champions, that’s a “I don’t follow the product” issue

What would be the numbers if we add hispanic, asian and others to the mix? They'll look better, the numbers don't lie and they spell disaster at Sacrifice. Awful joke but Shida and Riho were world champion for quite long, add Lucha Bros as Tag champions, trios and now ROH tag champions too. Cept for big plat, the numbers aren't bad at all?

We're not that far removed from the tag titles being a totally black story. and for a long time WWE had nearly all the best black talent already signed, the people left were Lee Moriarty who they signed and honestly needs a bit more refinement but hes great, Jay Lethal who was problematic as gently caress but they signed anyway and has managed to carve out a massive niche for himself, and Jonathan Greshem who was signed to non-TK ROH and when he did get to AEW boy did he blow it. Hell they struck gold with random Dark jobber Will Hobbs in the pandemic that no one even had eyes on. WWE releasing Keith Lee and especially Swerve has opened the chance though for a black champion as they have everything to make it work. Swerve should be world champion already i dont even care if it doesnt make sense he is so good at everything.

rotinaj admitted they were wrong about titles in AEW, so it feels like we can move on. Getting into weird race science stuff or explanations of why people of Asian and Pacific Heritage don't count as non-white champs, or finding the tweet where Max joked about 'The House of Half Black' to decide which athletes fall where in racial identity is probably also not gonna be a good time.

Oh yeah Max has done that gag at least twice, and both times it was photos he was in. I just meant the discussion gets weird if we start arguing over identities that can be fluid from moment to moment as if they're static in all contexts.
