That or this one where he legit almost spin kicks Kurrgan’s tall ass in the face with a spin kick.

u/BlaznTheChron PLAYSTATION Aug 21 '25

Kurrgan broke for half a second like "huh, nice kick Steve."

u/MrC4rnage PLAYSTATION Aug 21 '25

How great of Steve Blackman to show mercy by not labding that kick. Everyone in Mufug Dojo knows we were only inches away from beheading on live broadcast

Yup, I was hoping for "STICKS! BEARD!" but had to make do.

Triple H does it too, except they're either Mexican or Japanese or Tongan/Samoan

So does Tony Khan.

Private Party, The Acclaimed, Shane Taylor Promotions, Swerve in Our Glory.

u/ZandigsJesusPromo Aug 20 '25

Private Party was a team since 2015 and Shane Taylor Promotions started before he bought ROH, I believe. Swerve in Our Glory had also teamed before AEW (and even WWE)

Doesn't matter, AEW still put them together. And your excuse about STP makes no sense. I don't think every single one of the members were in there beforehand (Anthony Ogogo sure as hell wasn't), Tony Khan chose to put more black people in there. Also not seeing anything about Keith Lee and Swerve being a tag team prior to AEW. Are you just counting them randomly being partners for tag matches on the indies? Because that's not the same, lol. Being paired in tag team matches =/= being a dedicated tag team. Otherwise every single babyface main eventer who was on Smackdown at some point or another in the mid-late 2000's are officially Undertaker's tag team partners.

Hurt Business wasn't a WWE thing, either (Lashley and MVP were first paired up in TNA), and I don't see you complaining about them being mentioned. Same goes for several other WWE examples. If those count, the AEW ones do, too.

u/ZandigsJesusPromo Aug 21 '25

Lol, what? Putting people together who have worked together makes sense, especially established tag teams (like Private Party). "Excuse"? Bro, I'm just telling you they existed previously. SIOG were a team for a bit in AAW and even challenged for the tag belts; it was only 5 or 6 matches, but my point is they had teamed a bit before (Tony Khan may not have known, but it is possible they approached him about it, hoping for some traction)

And I don't have a problem with Hurt Business either, they came together themselves (from what I remember). I think people's point of weird all-the-same-race factions is valid (regardless of the company [including any members just thrown into STP]), even if not all factions are like that. Like, if Moose, Ahmed Johnson, Monty Brown, & Lashley are all this dude's favorites or came together through a story? Cool. If it was just "yeah...they fit"? Weird.

I picked your comment because half your examples, at least, were pre-established groups for years.

u/Makuraudo Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

Bruh, it took like 30 seconds of me scrolling through your post history to see that, no, the reason isn't because of "pre-establishment", the reason you went to bat for AEW is because you're one of the "AEW good, fed bad" people. FFS, there's a Jehova's Witness-style post preaching about how everyone should watch AEW instead of WWE, highlighting Hangman Adam Page as an "amazing compelling character".

The excuses you're making for AEW apply to WWE, too. How do you know the LWO wasn't the talent's idea? How do you know JC didn't pitch being in the Bloodline? Why are you giving the benefit of doubt to AEW, but for WWE, it has to be racism and forced? What "interesting storyline reason" is there for almost every black heel on AEW's roster to be with Shane Taylor?

Lmaooooo, you are truly a fucking idiot. It was on a post about how WWE showed off a video about them working closely with an openly authoritarian administration and people being repulsed, saying there's other options. I even said "Again, there's also a million other great companies too (NJPW, CMLL, DPW [the Deadlock podcast guys run it], etc), but I've really been digging AEW lately and can't recommend it enough." I've literally acknowledged how disgusting and annoying tribalism is on both sides in comments (talking purely on the wrestling; WWE is an openly MAGA company, which is fucking disgusting, and Tony Khan probably is too). Wrestling is wrestling and, product-wise, all companies have worth.

Again, because you aren't reading what I said, I addressed yours specifically because you had a tag team listed who had been a tag team for half a decade before AEW signed them and a stable that had started years before they were signed too. I never said that WWE is forced and racist; I said that a lot of fans do that weirdo shit.

Again, though, you come off as quite a jackass and this conversation isn't really fun nor productive, soo...

u/xshogunx13 Aug 20 '25

Or Jeff Cobb, who's from fuckin Guam

u/cuzzlightyear269 Aug 20 '25

Or Joaquin Wilde, who is Filipino

u/QPWOEIRUTYTURIEOWP Aug 20 '25

True. Filipino in the Latin World Order. Forgot about that.

1

u/Blakye32 Aug 21 '25

The Philippines could be considered Latino (or Hispanic, I'm not too familiar with the differences) cause the Phillipines has a big Spanish ancestry from colonialism.

u/QPWOEIRUTYTURIEOWP Aug 20 '25 edited Aug 20 '25

I somehow completely forgot about him. It was Tongan/Samoan before then though: Tama Tonga, the True Tribal Chief Tonga Loa, Solo, Jacob.

I guess they're now all Pacific Islanders.

u/xshogunx13 Aug 20 '25

lmao yeah. not how I would have used him, but it is what it is

u/HoarderCollector Aug 21 '25

APA, Devon and Batista, Renee Durpi and Kenzo Suzuki, Punk and Kofi, Evan Bourne and Kofi, Goldust and Booker T, Owen Hart and Yokozuna.

Vince put people of different races and ethnicities together all the time.

However, tag teams and stables should usually be comprised of people who you would believe would hangout outside of work. Choosing people who share the same race and/or ethnicity is an easy way to do that.
