The diversity comment is horse shit. They’re likely about to crown a black female wrestler the first tbs champion after a year of her going undefeated and being booked like a monster. She made it to the end of that tourney by beating an extremely popular and protected Mexican wrestler. A Brazilian women who’s also ridiculously popular is protected. Their first 3 women’s champions were Japanese foreigners and a Native American trans women. The previously mentioned Mexican women is the favorite to be the next women’s world champion.
A foreigner win the TNT title, is featured prominently and booked like a monster. The current tag champs are Mexican. Dante Martin is featured regularly in an in going storyline and Lio Rush has been presented as nothing less than a big deal.
To say there’s no diversity is a bad faith argument. Swole just wasn’t good. She had that one awesome match on dark with diamante. And that’s about it. Everything else she did was ok at best and she’s not better nor does she have a higher ceiling than the women mentioned above except maybe Nyla, but Nyla fills a role Swole can’t.
Tony should go about it a better way. That comment was clearly made to put his foot down on Swole. I don’t think it’s wrong of him to defend his company, especially when such a dumb comment is made. But he shouldn’t be so sensitive. He should stick to hyping the shoes and thanking the fans and letting his PR team handle this kinda stuff.
