@@ramboee4760 from my understanding he was involved in the design from the jump. Originally the design was shown to him on a white tee shirt. Mind you, I'm talking about the exact same design he freaked out over. They told him they would put out various colors of the shirt as well. Then he saw the shirt on the wwe store in black and lost his mind. Accused hhh and vince on twitter fir being the ppl behind it when it was the guy who he directly worked with to design the shirt. The dude had my support 1000% at 1st cuz I'm not down with any racist shit, but then wen he kept talking on twitter more of his story seemed like bullshit, especially when he said he approved the design. He called out roh for holding back black wrestlers and calling jay lethal an uncle tom. Once I saw that shit it was a wrap for me, he lost all my support in that moment. Jay lethal is fucking amazing in the ring and on the mic. His hard work, yrs in this business, talent and being loved by everyone got him where he is in this business. Ach is a jealous hater who just burnt every bridge he could on his way to claim it's all for the culture of black wrestlers in wrestling. And I'm not just a white boy saying shit either. My mother is a black skinned woman from Brazil and my dads puerto rican. He used race and it backfired and I'm glad it did. I say that cuz I argued with ppl in support of him to just look like and idiot in the end

A few weeks ago when this situation broke, I commented about honor and integrity. Even if I get punched in the mouth, I carry myself with honor. It don't sit well with others because many want blood. There is forgiveness, and there is maturing in persecution. There is honoring authority, rather we agree or not. He is too eager to carry this fight on his shoulders, which tells me that he doesn't have the foundation to be a public figure. He needs guidance.

...from my understanding, it sums down to the design being offered in black that it appears to be racist...it was offered in the usual colors (white, gray)...but, it's when someone noticed that it looks like blackface when someone selects "black" that it got questionable...and that when someone brought it up to corporate, they first took down the "black" option and then took it down completely because they figured it wasn't worth creating a "gray area for misinterpretation" with the shirt and was to be redesigned... ...granted, that's what I heard and that's probably not the case... but, dude...it's good to stand up for your beliefs and for yourself...but, sometimes...just sometimes...personal integrity can end up kicking you in your own ass in the long run...there's a MILLION ways this situation could have gone down instead of the path it's currently going down...he could have just had this conversation in private with the company and sorted everything out, I mean, it seemed to me like the WWE had some big plans for him as a singles competitor and was getting a pretty big push right out the gate...but, now, he's pretty much burned this bridge... ...lately WWE has been public about denying performers' release requests...but, because this is a race issue, i'm pretty sure they'll want to avoid any bad press in regards to denying ACH's request (or demand) and just release him...either by the end of the day or over the weekend... ...just hope that he finds continued success out there on the indies circuit, Japan, Impact, Mexico, wherever he decides to take his career...and that this doesn't end up being a 20/20 hindsight thing where years from now he realizes that he may have been able to sort this situation out in a better way...

As a black WWE fan, it's hard not to agree with ACH, as he wants to be called now, but at the same time, the way he's going about it is all wrong. It's one thing to voice a concern, but to rant just makes you look bad, especially when you have The New Day as your longest reigning tag champions, you have Titus O'Neil speaking to children and mom's across America, and David Otunga being employed this long when he hasn't been relevant since 2013. Yes, there's a lot of "white privileges" and "white agendas" in WWE, but to say as a whole their racist? Stephanie McMahon will jump on Negro dick the minute she divorces The Game, speaking of, The Game help produce The "Street Profits",....."Street Profits".....if that's not ghetto enough, Michael Hayes always had black swagger even calling out Mark Henry, and John Cena brought Hip-Hop culture to the full front, which ladies and gentleman, hip-hop is black art. Do I believe Vince is racist? I'm sure he has racial fantasies as does most rich millionaires do, hence why every japanese on the main roster is a heel. But again, there's better decisions to be made than just ranting on Social Media. It makes you look bad.

He goes on to talk about how the old guard feels they're owed respect because they paved the way for the younger generation etc. Like I said IDK if it's still up or if he took it down. As unprofessional as he was I hope does get the help he needs.

As a Black man, I despise everything about blackface. This t-shirt didn't strike me as blackface. I guess if I looked really deep I can see where Jordan Myles is coming from. Quite honestly, I would deem the promo where Booker T confronted Triple H in the bathroom & Triple H threw some money at Booker T & told him to get him a towel more racist than the t-shirt. But that's just me. I really think this is about something more than the t-shirt.

I think Cornette said it well. WWE is a publically traded company and nobody within the company is going to intentionally design an overtly racist product in this day and age knowing that the company has to answer to the stockholders and board of directors. That would be the death of the company right there and it would definitely guarantee the end of that man or woman's career. Part of his thing was he smiled a lot. So much so the announcers made mention of his smile. That's most likely what the logic behind the shirt was. Jordan himself said he saw it on a grey background and it was fine and not racist. It wasn't until it was on a black background that it looked bad to him. The designer that came up with the image probably didn't even know who Jordan Myles was and all they had to work with was "The man's gimmick is he smiles a lot" and there ya go. Boom. Most wrestling shirts are black so when it came time to decide the color shirt to put it on, that's what they went with. I am bipolar as hell and if I'm not on my meds I go on rants like his and think everything that goes on is somebody's attempts to screw with me. It cost me my marriage. Jordan is acting just like me when I'm off my meds and that worries me.

I'm 40yrs old and have been watching wrestling since 1984. I think people are shock to see a mab not bowing down to the whole WWE machine. That shit takes guts. Could he handle shit differently. Sure. I'm sure Vince, Hunter or the guy who designed the shirt didn't call him personally and apologize. People be so scared to speak up because they are scared to be cut off of payroll. If it was me and they showed me that design for a shirt. I would have slapped the living shit out of him like a bitch and dared anyone to say anything. They don't want real brothers from the streets that stand for something in the WWE. They like yes men 100%. What's up New Jack. 😂😂😂😂

As a black person who has watched wwe for alot of my life I never had a slight feeling that wwe was racist especially when I was watching as a kid they seemed to give a lot of non white people(rey mysterio batista booker Bobby lashley) an exceptional spotlight every week. This ach dude is wildn over some bs then claims to be "for the culture" then calls my dude jay lethal a uncle tom because he made it further than him? Nah bro you get no points for that but I'm not suprised he did that.

The T Shirt did seem pretty racist. However, the way he went about blasting the entire company was not the way to handle it. If he felt our culture was disrespected, he probably should have went to someone like Booker T, Mark Henry, Ron Simmons, someone from our culture who has made an outstanding living in the business and help him deal with this issue because they obviously could get HHH or Vince's attention about the matter easier than just going on social media and cursing the whole company. So ACH if that's what you wanna be called, good luck bruh. There's life outside of WWE. Just next time you have an issue, stay professional and dont get emotional.

Dude he took it way too seriously...as most black people are one to do these days. EVERYTHING has to be racist and directed towards them, because EVERYBODY is racist..didn't you know? Like if it something can be perceived as racist...then it most certainly is! Jesus...if he had just taken a breather instead of getting so up in arms, he would have been fine. Just go down to your dining room table, pour yourself a nice tall glass of Grape Kool-Aid, make yourself a plate of cornbread squares, fresh Fried Chicken, and then for desert Watermelon...I mean is it so hard? The simple things in life make black people happy, so if he had just chilled out and stop being so spooky about things...then it wouldn't have been a big deal. I mean sweet Jesus, he just needs to calm down and getting so up in arms about something so dumb. It isn't racist..it's racist because he wants it to be racist. Was it not racist to portray Charles Wright as a pimp because he was a black guy? Also they made it clear he smoked a lot of weed...because he was black. I mean, let's not pretend like that wasn't dead on racist. KFC has a secret menu, if he had only known about the "Al Jolson special" (3 pieces of extra crispy fried chicken), w side of cornbread, side of watermelon and a LARGE Grape Kool-Aid...then all of this could have been averted so easily. But just had to make a big deal over nothing, saying his jibba jabber about 'foo's being racist an' bein' crackers' and whatever other things said like 'man, this shit is racist yo! Like ya'll can't put lips on this t-shirt it's totally wasted dogg!'.... Chill out Boy...stop thinking the world is against you like EVERY other fucking black person that demands some type of reparations like almost 2 centuries after the fact. Not because they feel that they were wronged (well technically their GREAT GREAT Grandparents), but because they want something for nothing...typical. Get the FUCK OVER IT...the Civil War was over 150+ years ago, any type of payments towards slaves has been paid. There is nothing else owed to them or their great great descendants! Their parents or grandparent should have been happy they got ANYTHING. The idea of paying a family back that 4 generations prior were slaves, is ludicrous to me anyways. They should have just gotten a letter from the current president of the time saying "hey, our bad homie...we cool brah?". Then maybe a nice gift card with like $200 on it for KFC.
