I find this association with Tyson very uncomfortable. He’s a convicted rapist. Yet nobody seems bothered that they’re all chummy. That picture from the weekend with everyone in a line with Tyson at the centre made me nauseous.

I really agree with that. Especially as AEW have really pushed how progressive they are. I'd like to think Tyson has turned a corner and truly reformed, but how many times have people thought that in the past. I can't really ignore it, even if on the face of it the story with Jericho is really good.

It was probably the biggest reason why I didn't order Double or Nothing, which is the first AEW PPV I haven't ordered since they started I think.

Royal Rumble 2015-2019 inclusive

So Linda Hogan, Chris Jericho and somebody called Jaxson Ryker are all well and truly cancelled for their social media posts in the wake of what's been happening in the states this week.

Tony Khan/Cody Rhodes/AEW continuing to play the holier than thou woke company while employing the likes of Jericho, Hager, and Cage and while the Khan family donates to the Trump campaign, is the most ridiculous gooseberry fool.

It's standard fare for NFL team owner's to donate to the new president's innaugural committee though not all owners do.

Shad Khan has been openly critical of Trump since

I'm think the use of Tyson illustrates your point better.

Yeah, totally forgot about Tyson.

No doubt Jericho's #alllivesmatter bullshit will be ignored.

I like Jericho and all but youve got to call him out on this and his podcast when he had "truthers" claiming that covid19 was a hoax and a leftist conspiracy

Jaxson Ryker was Gunner in TNA wasn’t he?

Hmm, not much right now then. Thought they’d have started out with PPVs from WCW and EVC too.

I thought it was rather cool seeing an updated version of the In Your House stage back again at NXT TakeOver. Shame it wasn't in an arena, but a decent show considering the circumstances.
