I don't know how to react to this whole situation. I do agree the shirt is in very bad taste and should have defiantly been scrapped right away, but he could have kept this an in-company situation. But all the posting on twitter is probably not the best way to handle it. Now I have a theory. My theory is that Myles wants out of his contract but he knows that if he asks for his release, he won't get it from WWE for fear that he will sign with AEW, like how Harper, Mike Kanellis, and the Revival want out of their contracts. He is probably under a long term contract, so instead of asking for his release, get denied, and sit out the rest of his contract and not be used, he uses the shirt situation as a way to force WWE to release him, so he would only have to wait out the Non Compete clause, and after the one or two months are up, he will be free to sign with who ever. Again this is just a theory I thought of. If he is trying to get himself fired, it might work, but it could also tarnish his reputation and other companies will be hesitant to sign him, because what's to stop him from doing the same thing to them.

Honestly, this theory was in every way plausible until he took a shot at Jay Lethal as well, and essentially buried himself out of every company. This whole situation is really worrisome. Look, the t-shirt is horrific, and I can't believe it ever saw the light of day. Had he done the original tweet, and a tweet disputing the idea that he approved it, would have been an open and shut case and everyone would be behind him. Myles rants however, make me really worried about his mental health right now. He's managed to turn the whole situation around on himself, and I gotta worry about what's going on in his head right now. I hope he's ok.

First of all, him for even disregarding the fact that Jay Lethal is one of the best talents in the world and has been the backbone of ROH for some years now. That man worked his ass off and deserves a top spot. I get why he was upset at the shirt, but the dude buried his own career over it. Not the way to go about matters, especially on social media. And if he is so “for the culture” why is he putting another black man down? Its asinine

i was looking at the shirt and couldn't figure out what was racist about it then i read that he thought it resembles black face. hes REALLY reaching for that one.
its kind of like when someone sees jesus on a slice of toast when no one else did but all of a sudden they say heyyyy yeah i do see it.
yeah im sure wwe would have purposely made a racist t-shirt for millions of people to see. come on.

“RIP to his whole career”
Pedophiles still get work in wrestling, Myles calling his employers racist on twitter isn’t going to harm his entire career

Insulting Jay Lethal was uncalled for.

He shouldn't have blown up on Twitter over this. I support him wanting to change the shirt, but he's probably frustrated by much more than this, maybe in other aspects of his life, too, and this is probably what caused him to go off. I hope he can resolve this and can still be a success in WWE.

Did he finally mention blackface? Someone else mentioned possibly tying it to Sambo dolls. Even then, there’s a terrible stereotype that’s missing from the shirts design. Either way, I stand on my belief (especially when he escalated it to condemning Jay) that he’s just trying to get out of his contract. Maybe he got word that he’d be used better somewhere else. Maybe it’s a swerve and ROH wants him and this sets up and angle with Lethal? I know I’m reaching with that last one, but hell, it’s 2019. Nothing surprises me at this point.

Easy fix for WWE by giving fans options on the. Tee colour. WWE 9/10 times make black tshirts and this dudes gimmick is "smile I'm happy to be here" My problem would be that the design is lack luster rather than "racist"

Easier for people to say he's crazy than to confront racism.

I was hoping nobody on this forum would post this. These threads always get ugly.
