He's not necessarily wrong, but he seems to be trying to make it an abilities issue where I think it's more of a logistics one. There are always fewer women on the indies to begin with and nowadays the WWE is pretty quick to pick up any that start standing out or building up a name for themselves. Situations like that are always gonna thin out a talent pool.

Yeah, he seems to be trying to say this as a, "Maybe women just aren't as good," dogwhistle when it's much more that decades worth of toxicity in the industry for women isn't going to be undone by about four years of the main wrestling company actually halfway kind of trying.... especially given even WWE still routinely has shit like that period last year when there wasn't a women's match that went over ten minutes for like a four month span.

He has a valid point within the context, but he's deliberately going about saying it in a combative way. What he really wants here is people coming at him so he can drum up attention for himself.

God I hate the internet. Oh look, further things he said from the rest of the comment thread. The dude is not doing a sexist dogwhistle thing. He thinks that women are getting signed up too quickly, there's too few of them for various reasons and as a matter of sheer numbers there are less women wrestlers.
