Big Swole didn't say anything bad about TK. But he attacked her. That's sooooo unclassy. He owes her an apology.

In 1993, Jacqueline Moore became the first woman to be ranked on the PWI 500 list, ranking No. 249. Five years later, Moore would become the first Black woman to hold WWF (WWE) Women's Championship. In 2004, she won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

I have my thoughts about AEW and releasing the footage. I may publish them. But I will say this, people are more upset about AEW releasing fight footage than WWE being accused of alleged sex trafficking and sex abuse.

Again, a lot of people in the IWC are xenophobic. Y'all call almost every NJPW, AAA, CMLL, and Stardom talent "nobodies" and "jobbers." These wrestlers are top talent, it's OK to admit your wrestling knowledge is limited. No one knows everything.

Is Nattie vs Lacey an actual step forward for Women's rights in Saudi Arabia or just a business transaction drenched in propaganda?

It's important to consider that some of the negative reactions to AEW's partnership with CMLL, NJPW, Stardom, and AAA are influenced by microaggression and xenophobia. The way some fans discuss Mexican and Japanese wrestlers, lucha libre, and Japanese Strong Style is concerning.

There are several reasons why people are reacting the way they're to what Big Swole said. None are good reasons and it says a lot about how our society treats Black women. It also says a lot about how people love to defend rich owners. This expands outside of wrestling too.

Ok, so I know a lot of people aren't feeling the design. But it's giving 90s hip hop vibes. Like Cash Money Records, Death Row Records, Wu-Tang Clan. Is it just me? 🤔

Can we stop questioning a Black person's Blackness and gatekeeping Blackness just because a Black person doesn’t fit in society's Blackness box. Like, some of us will accept culture appropriators before we accept a Black who doesn't fit in society's Blackness box.

I hate that people are attacking Samantha. But realistically, a lot of people (in my experience mostly men) hate women who are passionate about pro wrestling. I think she did a great job. She's one of the best ring announcers.

To piggyback off of Lyric's tweet: I've noticed a lot of fans (specifically on FB and IG) have been trying to downplay Willow's accomplishments. NJPW Strong Championship, Owen Hart Cup, ROH main event. And I don't like it.
Pretending that Willow is somehow buried if she loses at DoN is preposterous lol She’s already up 1-0.
Double or Nothing won’t be the first match between her & Mercedes and it definitely won’t be the last. Let the chefs cook on this one.

One thing I've experienced and have observed on numerous occasions in the IWC. If you're a woman, men are going to challenge you about wrestling. And if you're a Black woman in the IWC be prepared to defend your opinion and handle the disrespect.

How do other people discover "new" wrestlers? Like what is your process? Personally, I watch a show and if I'm drawn to a certain wrestler, that I'm not familiar with, I search YouTube for matches to watch. Maybe even explore Cagematch and Wikipedia.

Athena is the face of the new ROH. She is the ROH headliner. This is the Athena era of ROH. No other woman has accomplished this in ROH. She has had the most dominant ROH women's championship reign in history. She is the main event attraction.

The album is actually good. I know we have our issue with TK, but a lot of Black people (artists and wrestlers) put in work. AEW released a video featuring the talent talking about their tracks. More people will be able to hear it once it's on some music streaming platforms.

Jade Cargill, the AEW character, is a bad person. She's a heel. For Black women, fans are not able to determine what is character and what is real because some see Black women as angry and mean. The angry Black woman stereotype is deeply rooted in our society.
