There’s still a ways to go for AEW, but say what you will about TK, at least he never said “I don’t see color” when asked about lack of diversity at a press conference.

Oh. Oh god don't tell me Trips

At the WWE Bad Blood Post-Show Press Conference, TJ Legacy of Soapbox Run the Ropes asked Triple H about how he gaged the difference between making sure there was representation and giving opportunities to deserving talent.

"I don’t see the difference in anybody. I don’t see the color. I don’t see the nationality.I don’t see any of it. I just see talent. I don’t see the difference between men and women. I see talent. We tell stories with those talent. How they can handle those stories and how they can represent those stories and how we can bring those stories forward. I don’t keep track of any of that. I do what’s relevant and what is best and what is being delivered the best. That’s what goes. No different than the men and women, who main events. Whatever the biggest stories are, that’s where we go," Triple H said.

And there's like eight pages in the WWE section blasting this comment as an insane, tasteless remark, right? Right?

Ironically, one of the first big moments with outside attention on AEW was Cody doing some press and saying how he'd said that once to Brandi, and how she'd basically gently told him how to not see race means to not see what she experiences, and how he'd learned from that, etc.

Pretty big night all things considered, Lashley has officially debuted and Private Party won the tag titles

Hobbs coming back soon will be even better

[Mozenrath]

Bobby and Shelton have been great additions already. Poor guard Shelton superkicked into oblivion, dude looked like he's going to wake up in King Arthur's court.

You can feel the universal respect for Shelton within wrestling even if he's just there to serve as a gatekeeper for Lashley. Still crazy that he's near 50 because he does NOT look it at all.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if he ends up doing more than that, like I'd have zero surprise if he gets the TNT title off of Garcia, whenever he likely gets it from Perry.

That, or winning the ROH world title off of whoever beats Jericho for it.

They're all within the credible arse kicking age when it comes to the telly. Though that grey on MVP makes me feel a bit old myself.

The respect for Shelton was fully on display during that promo by Swerve at WrestleDream. Swerve basically saying 'you are legend and huge influence for black wrestlers' all within the confines of a kayfabe promo. Was quite brilliant really

Shelton is underrated. That is all
