Angelina Love Of TNA leaks

Angelina+Love-Angel+Williams-TNA.jpg

 
This AEW news just has me hopeful for non-white wrestlers in general.

I mean TNA put their belt on R-Truth for GODsake. There is no reason why Booker T never had the main title put on him. There is no reason why Crime Tyme was the bathroom break during RAW and their promos was nothing but hoodrat shyt. There is no reason why Alicia Fox had ONE title reign over 5 years ago and her, Sasha and Naomi have to perm and color their hair in order to get over. Why Sasha will get the title at a PPV and drop it back to Charlotte the very next night. Why the Iron Sheik was only good enough to win the belt from Bob Backlund and drop the belt to Hulk Hogan who in real life would have BEAT the DOG SHYT out of everyone in that promotion. Jinder Mahal was only good enough to get the belt on him for business purposes when WWE was getting into India and once they realized that the shyt wasn't working they went right back to the racists gimmicks.

I say all this to say I have NO problem with WWE being all white wrestlers. Not because Vince won't hire black wrestlers, but because Vince's personal hero is Martin Luther King and we still have acts like Crime Tyme and as much as they're over we also have the New Day.

Well said.

AEW is owned by non whites, that's already a plus on their side.

This is why I think they will be a player. Having black people in positions of power will be good for black talent moving forward. Also I am very familiar with Big Cat Ernie Ladd. He is a top 5 all time black talent overall IMO and probably the best black heel ever not named Abdullah the Butcher, Bad News Brown, and Kamala.
I wouldn't hold your breath on Brandi Rhodes being the catalyst to all of a sudden push black wrestlers to the top. She is married to a white man after all. Plus, her role will likely be minimal and was probably just done as a favor to Cody.

Good point. However I do think any new company would take pushing non whites more seriously. I mean blacks, latinos, and asians, love pro wrestling. It only makes sense to cater to other racial demographics that are not white men. This is another area they can outshine WWE in.
 
I think AEW will cater more to the hardcore wrestling fans/marks. WWE will continue to push toward the casual fan and try their best to make their sponsors happy. AEW can reach a different demographic. The "make wrestling cool again" means something to us who are tired of what stale product WWE is putting out. None watered down move sets, pushing guys who the fans get behind, new stars, rival talent decide to jump ship to AEW. This has me excited and looking forward to every detail that gets released.
 
Did WWE unban pile-driver variations?



Also WWE are going to try keep the Revival happy so they don't jump ship. They'll probably get the titles at the Rumble.

I really like that team. Kayfabe throwbacks. You can tell they were 4Horsemen and Midnight Express fans and studied their matches.

If they do it will damn sure signal the desperation to please they talent that are rightfully disgruntled. It doesn't mean to allow them to do dumb moves like what happens during Sasha Banks matches where some of the weaker wrestlers lack the coordination needed to pull the moves that they try off.

But let the wrestlers wrestle when they know what they are doing!!!

Look, I don't think anybody here is expecting the first black wrestler they sign to get the title, but they all come from places where black talent have been given the oppurtunity to be headliners and wear the companies main strap . I am just TIRED of black/brown people being either sterotypes of their ethnicities or these ultra-grateful characters that are support for their white counterparts i.e. Ember Moon to Ronda and Apollo Crews to every white wrestler.

Also Brandi marrying Cody means NOTHING. Until she starts talking shyt about black men and or women as far as I am concerned she just happened to marry a white dude.

I think the thought for WWE all these years is that their core audience is white so that is who they should cater to. They'll sprinkle in other groups and give them stereotypical characters to appease their core white audience. They feel they'll be fine with or without Blacks, Latinos and other groups.

Hopefully, AEW will make a more concerted effort to appease to other racial groups. Only time will tell.
 
Does anyone think having a women's match as the main event of Mania evolution of the business / sport or just more #MeToo taking over with Steph at the helm? Or is it truly warranted compared to what the men are delivering now?

Animal of Road Warriors is catching heat online for an interview where he praised Becky, but also said that there is something wrong if the females are overshadowing men for the main event. Beck caught wind of it and blasted him on twitter for this comment below.

"There is a problem in the wrestling business. Yes, the women’s movement is growing, but when the women are the main event and they have the best matches on your card, there’s an issue."
