And you weren't believe it the first four contestants on the show are all non-white. There's one black chick, one latina chick who started her intro in Spanish, and two black dudes.
It's hosted by The Miz and some Honduran chick named Rocsi. To be fair the majority of the Gladiators are white.
If I remember correctly you're an AEW guy, you know who that fella is?
I used to be an AEW guy. I'm not anymore. A shame, the in-ring wrestling is still really darn good, but I can't deny that most of the people at the top are big SJWs, including Brody King and his "Abolish ICE" shirts that no one dares tell him to take off, and who gets "Fuck ICE" chants now because of it. This was the final straw.
However, I do know who Wardlow is.
He had boatloads of potential, but kept getting injured at the worst possible times, sometimes in the unluckiest ways, like backing into the ropes.
The man is a moron for doing this entire season with a torn bicep before getting it fixed. I don't care how much he was paid for it.
"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff injured his shoulder in 1985, just as he was about to begin a months-long feud with Hulk Hogan. So he worked through the injury.
It gave him permanent nerve damage that made his arm continually atrophy for the rest of his life. It was surreal seeing his arm shrink over the next ten years before he retired in 1995--and in almost every public appearance since then, he wore big long sleeves to hide how small his arm had become.
Yes, pro wrestlers are tough cookies. But if you work hurt like that, you're an idiot. Get the surgery.
Yea AEW seems to be ridiculously woke. Good wrestling though
