Also, there is a difference between being fired and not renewing your contract. But “fired” sounds worse so it makes sense that you use it in this situation.

You know what else is a logical conclusion? Lio Rush had that exact conversation he said he had with Tony and both sides agreed to not renew his contract leading to him being taken off TV and just quietly leaving. But where’s the fun in that story?

Why did Rush suddenly praise Tony?
Why did Rush never appear on AEW again?
Why did Rush get let go?

Why did Tony go out of his way to bury a talent who was "a great wrestler, a great personality, I like her" until she made one statement about racial disparity in AEW?
Why did Tony never apologize even when other people in wrestling thought what he said was not appropriate.
Why did Tony randomly just replace Rush with Lethal without any context whatsoever?

Lethal has no backstory with Dante Martin or Team Taz, nor was he involved with the story of Dante and Lio swerving Team Taz and their contract offer. Tony Aunt Viv'ed Rush (look it up).

So Lio Rush knew he was getting "Let Go", yet went on Twitter to state he was looking forward to continuing his work with Tony?!? Because Lio Rush suddenly decided to bite his tongue?

i think the point is that even if he made the post to pacify his boss (likely) we have nothing that establishes compulsion (irrelevant of however likely or unlikely.) its unsubstantiated conjecture

Which I did concede a few times already. Besides the fact that it is such a minuscule part of the overall issue.

But apparently I can't dislike Tony Khan for being racist because I already dislike him for other reasons. So he has not actually done anything racist, I am just biased apparently.

Here, ill fix this:

4. He then "Let Go" Lio Rush
5. He replaced Lio Rush's in the storyline with Jay Lethal, no explanation given, because apparently all black guys are the same in Tony's mind, interchangeable tokens.

That is not some manufactured wokeness, that all happened publicly in the aftermath of him having his meltdown over Swole.

Tony will stamp and growl his way right to ya, the Khanman doesn't back down he will say it to your face and say it loud! Fuck all yall suck my dick. Tony Khan has saved wrestling and he loves all races and genders, binary or not! Fuck off with that Tony Khan hate! We are a group of fans who support Tony Khan and his family! Go away!

That is not the issue I am referring to being minuscule. Do I believe that tweet was imfluenced/requested/forced/ghostwritten or whatever else we want to call it by Tony Khan, I 100% do. I conceded that yes, that act itself was not public, Fan was right 100% about that, it was conjecture. The fact that we do not have a public record of that happening is the minuscule part, because everything that followed happened. He was kept off TV and he was "Let Go". I fixed the wording, now no conjecture included, yet the conclusion remains unchanged.

Tony Khan went out of his way to bury a black wrestler who questioned disparity, then did no further business with a black wrestler who had a problem with the treatment of the previously discussed black wrestler.

I think most people agreed the way he handled Big Swole was shitty.

As far as Lio leaving, once again, we don't know why Lio left. He doesn't strike me as someone to hold his tongue, so if Tony fucked him over, I'm pretty sure we would have heard from him about it by now. Lio being a headache to work with is a known issue. So that could have factored into the departure.

As for black talent being treated fairly, no they are not booked very well. Most people aren't, regardless of skin color. Because Tony Khan is a fan who bought himself a wrestling promotion.

Is Jay Lethal replacing Lio tokenism? Maybe? Maybe Tony went " hey another black guy! Perfect!" Or maybe Jay Lethal, as a veteran more experienced than rush, who can also talk was an even better fit for the role. And he just happens to be black. Point is we don't know. So it's not fair to accuse. Unless you're so terrified of tokenism that you believe a role played by a black man can never be portrayed by another black man.

Oh, and Shane Strickland and maybe the rest of Hit Row at Revolution. So them, Jeff on Dynamite, then maybe Homicide, Hernandez and maybe Tony Deppen and Chris Dickinson to be Chris Jericho’s new Inner Circle in AEW the following week after Jericho refuses to put Eddie Kingston over. I’m a bit worried, because that is only 8 people.

The AEW boat is so over capacity that you can start to think about an eventual sinking. We've been through WCW and know what over crowding a roster can do on multiple levels. This ROH purchase may actually be the life boat that AEW needs going forward for years down the line.

ROH has no contacts right now, maybe The Briscoes or Johnathan Gresham but that would probably be it. AEW has an entire other roster on their own roster. This is a pretty incredible deal. Hopefully they are able to get a money deal for an ROH TV show. My hope is they get onto TruTV. Tru is trying to become cooler, they don't have many big shows. ROH isn't huge at all but if the new ROH on cable could get Rampage numbers, I think that would be a comfortable start.

The thing is, will the faithful ROH audience return for the version of their beloved company? There are wrestling fans that are just ROH fans, the reach of their TV caught a lot of random people into their web. It's so exciting to see what will happen.

I guess Bryan Danielson said Vince asked him why he was going to AEW and he said because he was leaving WWE because he wanted to bleed and Vince told him he wouldn't let him do that....I'm sorry but that sounds like brain damage talking to me. That sounds like someone needs to retire.

I have to leave Vince because you won't let me slice my forehead open every night with a razor blade.

AEW sucks. Sometimes the truth just needs to be confronted.

No upstart promotion has ever had more. It can’t even beat 3 hours of deliberately sterile sports entertainment even with the handicap of having an easier night on television. And its fans are in a frenzy about it being revolutionary. Lol, no. It’s bad comedy that pays way more than it makes and is a large part of why we can’t have nice things.

Lol, is that true? If it is, holy shit. Wrestlers are fucking nuts.

There’s a point to blading, but the gusto that a lot of wrestlers want to go to that place, and the context they put it into, is just fucking nuts.

I think everyone knows Moxley and Danielson are going to exchange bodily fluids at Revolution. They’re going to give themselves wounds and pour another man’s blood into them. Secretly, I had hoped they would have a wrestling match instead of desperately crying for attention and approval they don’t already have.

There is a time to bleed. There is a context behind red turning to green. Daniel Bryan vs. Dean Ambrose in the second match from the top built around the story of them becoming friends isn’t it.

Yeah, im pretty sure the act itself of blading isnt what attracted Danielson to AEW. Rather, he was likely bored with the WWE style and wanted to engage in some of the more brutal and violent styles of matches he would sometimes have in roh, which blood often enhanced. The line "I just wanted to bleed" was just a showman making the interview more entertaining.

Yeah I thought that was fairly obvious listening to the interview. But naturally most of the internet will read a sentence and take it out of context.

Didn't Bryan say his first night that he thought Vince was too protective of him, and that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but he wanted more? While I think that was more about his concussion and neck issues, it certainly could be applied to blading as well. Vince hasn't liked blading for a decade+, so that is not a situation solely for Bryan's health, but it wouldn't surprise me if that conversation happened (even though it wasn't filmed for youtube or anything ).

I think Vince was adverse to blading long before that. Didn’t Flair and Savage get fined for bleeding at Mania 8? And Bret/Austin went against policy at Mania 13.
