A lot of buzzwords are being thrown around, so I’ll say it bluntly: Your wrestling isn’t diverse if only white and white passing wrestlers are at the top. @TonyKhan You can’t gaslight your way out of a critique that the entire community you’re allegedly serving has.— “The Revolutionary” Darius Lockhart (@DLockPro) January 1, 2022

Or what we truly provide as talent for that matter. @TonyKhan Professional Wrestling is committed to ignoring our power.— “The Revolutionary” Darius Lockhart (@DLockPro) January 1, 2022

Absolutely not. This is completely disrespectful, not only to Swole, but to the black community that AEW has been consistently not listened to. I wanted to be a part of the change AEW so desperately needs but you’re showing that you’re willingly missing the point.@TonyKhan https://t.co/FRjDNQEeyV— “The Revolutionary” Darius Lockhart (@DLockPro) January 1, 2022
