Swerve Soars as Scrums Make Fans Scram - Headlock Headlines Ep. 10

Marvin pointing out that reverse racism is still not the end goal we should all be aiming for is excellent. 👌 I'm not a person of color so I can't say for sure, but I imagine that whatever praise they receive they would prefer it to have nothing to do with their skin color. Because even if it's positive, it's still separating them as being different. Which is something we should be aiming to end entirely.

[@NightRanger-lz6tp]

Tooney Khan should come out next week wearing bandages after the beating he took on Dynamite tonight.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Man if only this could have come out after tonight's Dynamite, we can all laugh at the birth of the Mr. Tony Khan character and some of the worst bumps in wrestling history. So does he still fear for his life? Also the Jericho, Charley Brown X-mas Tree is embarrassing. But hey Metlzer flooded his entire house with the "Greatest match in the US' with OceanSpreay and Danielson. Manure Mones continues to prove she isn't worth her money.

[@mattdavis5603]

Mercedes is a below average promo, but once she's cleared and wrestling people will be back on the bandwagon. Like a lot of modern wrestler's, it's the matches that are her strength. I liked the angle tonight, even though I think TK is better suited to be a heel, at least they have a major story in play. Too bad that don't have a major baby face lined up to take on the Elite

[@neilbiggs1353]

@@mattdavis5603 I'm not convinced, even in WWE I found her a bit sloppy and reckless, the Riott Squad did well to stop her injuring herself on a dive in the all women PPV for example. With the talent in AEW also tending to be be sloppy and reckless, and the lack of respect given to producers/agents this could be an all time disaster...

[@TeddyKGB12]

Yeah that was a GREAT look for TK, LMAO! First, he fears for his life after seeing a 6 second fight and then got yelled at, now he gets taken out by a few guys that look like high school sophomores that got cut from the football team and hang out in front of the local 7/11 playing hacky sack.

Alright my main Monster, we about had a fatality this week because I was eating a protein bar when the Sable bit came on and I almost chortled that gummy bastard to an early grave.

[@JenMistress]

That is a good point, made more sense with WCW and WWE taking shots at one another because both wanted to control Monday Nights, this feels more like a non war war. Also, I agree about the scrum things, even though I've not watched scrums from either company, I've heard about them, and personally, sounds boring AF. However, this on the other hand was entertaining. Thank you for this.

[@phatboybright]

Get off Sable man my first Wrestling crush… lol. You depict the awkward energy Tony has perfectly. Jack Perry can be the only person to win from showing the cctv if booked properly. The back and forward with ratings mattering and not mattering depending on who’s winning perfectly shown. Thank you for bringing up the Mone elephant in the room. I can see them slowly letting the rankings go in the next few months. Will is clearly who they really want to be the face of AEW.

I've had to see my therapist 7 times, since you've been gone. Now, I can quit sniffing that tuft of hair that I stole off of that other monster who's been stealing my cookies. (All monsters smell alike.) You know, Tony keeps talking about his first black World Champion. I've seen a lot of stories, but I haven't seen anyone point out that Nyla Rose was AEW's first black world champion. Either he doesn't think that much of his women's division or he's just being forgetful. Either way, I'd be upset. I mean, Swerve was the first black "AEW World Champion". But, he wasn't the first black AEW "World Champion". It's splitting hairs, but it's not.

Another great episode, this was hilarious the sable joke had me rolling. At the start of AEW I saw someone compare Tony Khan to Herb Abrams & as time has gone on he really really does feel like a another Herb Abrams even down to ( apparently according to a picture I saw from dynamite ) now getting involved in angles just like Herb Abrams did. I personally don’t mind Triple H taking a few shots at AEW, under Vince wwe let AEW take shot after shot at them but as Vince lost power or the wrestlers lost faith in him you started to see a few top wrestlers finally responding, like Roman with the needle mover shirt but if what Triple H said was shots they were said in a general statement that casuals wouldn’t notice the shot & honestly I think you can tell Hunter has been wanting to fire shots for years. I personally think Tony should stop firing shots Vince isn’t in charge anymore…ironically it’s the Kliq..an older & more professional Kliq..yes but it’s still the Kliq now in charge of wwe. But anyway keep up the great work man

My thing with Swerve is that he seems to be anti-black. This can be through many forms, the most applicable being colorism (which a dark skin black man can be for reasons far exceeding this comment). What Tony is doing here seems disingenuous because 1. Where’s the build between Joe and Swerve for this to feel like more than just a title change? And 2. Look at how he started this reign off? Don’t care for Swerve as a person, but he is the front man for Tony’s parade for disingenuous inclusion. If all black AEW wrestlers are being allotted so many opportunities by Tony, then why is every black female wrestler only ever going for and/or winning the second tier women’s belt? Did Tony ever address the “bubble” Jade said she was never in, hence why all of her stuff was completely separate and independent of 70% of the women’s roster? Swerve’s win feels like how it will feel in 50 years from now when a black actress wins Best Lead at the Oscars, becoming only the SECOND to do it and the THIRD of all WOC. Meanwhile, the Angela Bassett gets an “Honorary Oscar”. A long rant to end with this: Hobbs, Starks, Willow, and Kris (injury prone to me, but people like her), conspire to make Tony fear for his life.
