I don’t know why anyone expects Khan to do anything about it but it was super loving lame and racist out of the blue and they already kind of disrespect Shida a lot. The new women’s belt looks great though

How do they disrespect Shida alot?

I expect public facing employees of companies who say racist poo poo to get publicly reprimanded or fired. Pretty low bar but I think even wrestling companies can clear it.

Anyway I doubt the guy who did the actual accent has a job on Sunday.

WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
That dude should be fired for being racist, but also most of the viewers (including me) did not hear that commentary live and I’m happy that Shida got a chance to shine and I’m not going to let it cast a negative pall over her segment and the upcoming exciting PPV weekend!!

And wrestle goons, I encourage you to do the same!

TV time, storylines, she’s a top 10 in the world womens wrestler and nearly none of her feuds have had stories.

I like Britt better and want her to win but it’s lame Shida has been a belt warmer on TV even though the ringwork is top tier

i don't speak spanish and don't listen to the broadcast in spanish and never would have even heard of it without a ton of people on here immediately looking for blood about it, so the average aew viewer likely has no clue about any of this. in the long run the ppv is going to get all the discussion this weekend. are you loving nuts?

I'm already seeing it over social media and the anti-AEW brigade is going to make sure to spread this around. Bix has been rapid-fire tweeting about it too so there's going to be eyes on it.

You know how the internet works. This poo poo is going to spread and be a black mark over the weekend.

If he does get fired, I also doubt they make a public statement about it and call even more attention to it, he just won’t be on DoN and Sapp will report that he was canned sometime next week.

Not really booking her for most of her tenure as women's champ and then phoning in the builds to her PPV matches wasn't great. Luckily the matches were because Shida's really good, but that could be taken as a lack of respect.

Seems like when they told Willie "you do Shida" it was meant, in context, "you translate Shida" and he did the poo poo he did which is at least a little reassuring about the other people on the team.

Her feud with the Champion vs Champion feud with Thunder Rosa was good, as was the one with Nyla Rose. And the feud with Abadon was great.

EMF having a racist impression of Shida on live tv is a pretty different level of disrespect (a fireable one, hopefully) than not being pushed the way you want her to be.

They should've had him fail using the scale, then have him decide the weights by picking Cody and Ogogo up. "Sorry Cody, Ogogo feels like he's one pound heavier."

I know people are all in on the New Japan forbidden door once the pandemic dies down whenever that is, but Top Flight really feel like a pair of dudes that would get the most out of a tour or two with Dragon Gate. Their style would mesh up well with DG more than NJPW, in my opinion.

Ogogo really missed a chance to get in some "remember what happened last time you pissed off a boxer?" zingers in.

More than anything in that segment, having Ogogo do and say nothing was a weird choice.

Like, when they brought out Wight, my assumption was that it was so Ogogo could knock his rear end out.

I didn’t do that at all. I just said the company doesn’t give Shida the respect she deserves in my opinion. Even to tonight was a set up for Britt. It’s sad to me she deserves more. Like main events and storylines.

I did appreciate after several run-ins, when Britt said "Rebel's not here" that Rebel actually wasn't there.

I admire AEW's commitment to the occasional subverting of wrestling tropes, but if any match could use the shortcut heat-up tactic of "big brawl and pull-apart," it's this one.

Also if you're gonna have no physical confrontation in a ~10 minute segment, you should probably have an idea of *a* thing you're going to do, at some point, other then having QT say "what are you doing, booing the heel? You should cheer him idiots!" 4-5 times
