NXT's Jordan Myles made waves on social media last night after he accused his employers of designing a racist t-shirt against his wishes.

WWE released subsequently released a statement claiming that the design in question had been swiftly altered, though it is becoming increasingly clear that Myles' problems with the company's treatment of black wrestlers is more profound.

The performer released a short video this morning, since deleted, in which he simply stated:

He concluded the snippet by aiming his middle finger at the camera.

In a separate Tweet, Myles lambasted the WWE system as "a fraud", pointing out Hulk Hogan's involvement in spite of his meek locker room apology for his racist candid leak.

The former ACL took wider aim at the industry, suggesting it was no coincidence that Jay Lethal is the only African American to reach the top of Ring Of Honor:

The offensive shirt instigating Myles' polemic depicted a set of oversized lips containing his name, against a black background. Though the wrestler didn't spell out the issue, he heavily hinted at the clear resemblance to blackface.

WWE have yet to respond to Myles' latest comments.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
