Yeah that shit was like some old blaxploitation character that shit was wild. And I got a feeling someone coached her to do that.
AEW gotta do better its crazy I keep saying I want to tune in and watch but they don't really have anything that will draw me in and want to watch. Sure as hell aint' no Chris Jericho.
Is he going to get a show of his own or be a correspondent for AOTS if they bring that back...
Kingston is a shyt wrestler, but his mic work sells him.
Reverse racism isn't a real thing especially black folks clowning you cause you aren't black enough. I got family and friends that give me shyt for the way I talk. Hell within the last 20 years shyt that was nerd culture is now pop culture. I really think she comes up with her own storylines and Cody just goes along with it. Cause this is like her 3rd try at a storylline and it is just bad. I still think the nightmare collective is the worst thus far, but if this keeps up, it's taking that number 1 spot.
Keep in mind WWE JUST started putting tag belts on the black athletes that they force into teams. With the exception of Lashley who had to go through a BLACKED angle first.
Darby and Cassidy came in with a fanbase established as single competitors. Sky came in as a three man tag team with SCU. Now I would like to think that due to the pandemic any run that Sky was going to have got derailed.
I don't know man, maybe I am holding out hope cause WWE has fcuked people that look like us over for years.
What did you say; "That's gimmick infringement!"
i think there heart in the right place and they trying but unforunately they falling into same pitfalls other wrestling companies have in the past.
they dont have a writers room and the wrestlers come up with their own stuff. The highest ranking official in the company of color other than Kahn is Brandy. Young Bucks, Cody, Kenny & Jericho are all white men and white men been running the business since it started.
WWE does have its own issues but i give credit of late. Black male wrestlers still have a ceiling when it comes to the main event singles push.
But look at their champs now. Only one is a white male and he is European all their other champs are Samoan, Black and Asian. It might be a function of the pandamic, Becky/Charoltte being out and the WWE being forced to do things differently
Damn, I didn't even realize this.
Drew McIntyre is the only CAC champ!
Forgot Sami Zayn (intercontinental champion) was Syrian (desert CAC don't count I guess).
Imagine if Keith Lee won the WWE Championship?!
Damn, yeah, pandemic or not, you have to give WWE credit. The best thing out of this whole lost year has been Hurt Business, followed by the Tribal Chief.....
Big E better win the Royal Rumble and face Drew or Roman though....that would be dope.
This is where I have to disagree with you guys. I can't give someone credit for some shyt you're FORCED to do
No. That shit was cringey. Brandy grew up ice skating, if that tells you anything about her upbringing.I haven't seen a episode of AEW but is this how she always talk? I mean shit "Heffer"? Damn. Cringey.
She was basically trying to play the role of a stereotypical black girl.
He really doesn't need WWE at this point. He's got the video game and comic gigs.
I wonder if WWE is getting a share of all these outside deals he's got.
Yeah, I peeped that too. LOL
They did it. “Forced“ to or not, they still did it and that alone deserves credit.
They could easily have:
Braun Strowman Universal Champ
Bray Wyatt/The Fiend Universal Champ
Jeff Hardy US Champ
Randy Orton US Champ
Alexa Bliss Raw Women’s Champ
Lacy Evans Smackdown Women’s Champ
Miz and John Morrison Raw Tag Champs
Heavy Machinery ( had they not split them) Smackdown Tag Champs
AEW has only had one Tag Champ of color, and Three Women’s Champs of Color.
It’s a mistake to have teams like Lucha Bros and Proud and Powerful in that division yet not have them smell the tag titles.
Top titles there will always be held by the CACs. Even the fake championship like the FTW belt is held by a white dude.
AEW is WWE lite. All the talk of being an alternative has never amounted to much of a difference.
WWE is a racist company, but just because you have a Pakistani running a business does not make AEW any better.
At least WWE made moves. What is AEW waiting for?
I hate you...
AEW been there for 1 year.
Give them time to cook and not use leftover storylines in the WWE for the past 20 years.
Shit, they finally put down the Undertaker's script he had for 3 decades.
So it takes time to put the top prize on a dark face?

Doesn't work like that in Boxing or other legit sports but AEW, which wanted to be present itself as a sports based promotion has to have more "time" before allowing a Black or Brown face to run with the top titles?
FOH. I don't buy that bullshit. AEW is no better than WWE and cats go our of their way defending them.
Not defending them, but Kofi for instance been with the company for more than 10 years and finally had his run recently with a history and built in storylines
Scorpio Sky had been in Aew for a year, currently building a storyline
Both slow burns with one that has a huge head start.
What happened with Kofi was ridiculous, and I'm glad he had his run but like Bryan in 2014, he caught lightning in a bottle.
Kofi got that title run due to Ali getting injured and grassroots movement from the fans. WWE HAD to put the title on Kofi. There was too much story and money on the table.
Nothing against Kofi but if I look at him versus a Bobby Lashley, one looks like a world Champion and the other looks like a forever midcard wrestler.
Hoping Lashley (even though he's a chump supporter) and or Big E get shots at the top titles.
As far as AEW, let's talk Brody Lee and Darby Allin
Two CAC that were handed AEWs secondary title. No real slow burn.
Brody Lee has been in AEW less than a year and was given the world.
Allin been there since the beginning and basically has been propped up working with Moxley, Jericho and Cody.
Who the hell is Scorpio Sky working with?
Lee squashed Cody and held it for a time til dropping it back.
Cody drops it to Allin.
Why wasn't Scorpio Sky given the Allin or Brody Lee treatment?
Do you really see Scorpio Sky reaching the top of the card in the next year?

Exactly. Anyone defending AEW or giving them the benefit of the doubt their argument falls apart when you look at Scorpio Sky. Dude is feuding with Sean Spears right now? WTF. And he is the only non white solo male talent getting any shine. Lets not talk about how for months the only black wrestlers you saw were black men & women getting jobbed out. WWE had a jobber too during the pandemic. Guess what. They signed him to contract, gave him the North American title (basically the new 1,2,3 Kid) and he is now in one of the best stories in NXT
we all know WWE track record. Whatever the reason they've made strives of late and i dont think it was part of some grand plan. Its happened naturally
conversely AEW came in talking alot of about representation & diversity but havent done squat
right now WWE is running laps around them
AEW cant have it both ways. They claim to be something new. They want to be the alternative. They want to change the game but fall into the same pitfalls of other companies.
its one or the other. either its something new or the same old bullshit
Looking at their track record over the last year its the same old bullshit. I aint mad but i am not going to give them kudos for talking a big game but not putting their money where there mouth is. The only diversity is in their women's division and that division is a joke and barely gets tv time/storylines.
if WWE did Brandy/Jade angle ppl would be calling for boycott
but because its AEW they get pass?

She sounded more like a character from a mid-90s UPN sitcom
good points, but fuck that...i'm not joining the grump side...lol
i always liked slow burns with wrestling stories and i'm patient with all the shows...
Notice this also
I watched this live and fell out when he said..."Awww"
Just tuned into AEW......Miro and Kip Sapian were about to have a video game session.
Got interrupted by Orange Cassidy and his crew.....
This shit sucks.
Now they are doing a "contract signing"..... again stealing from WWE.
Omega vs Moxley. Didn't we see this already numerous times before?
Looks like they are going to eventually put the belt on Kenny Omega. Hopefully because Moxley just is not interesting with his fake loose cannon/Roddy Piper schtick. Never thought he was that good.
