but you can shout "fuck ICE" anyway because why wouldn't you
Official statement from WBD on Brody King:
"Warner Bros. Discovery did not have any involvement in Brody King’s upcoming AEW schedule. Any speculation to the contrary is categorically false. Brody is scheduled to appear during the next AEW event, which will air this Saturday on TNT and HBO Max"

PAC vs. El Clon or we riot #AEW
I know this tremendous Death Riders vs. DCF match is primarily designed to further the Mox and Takeshita feud, but is also really making me want to see Claudio vs. Davis, they work great together.

The way people talk about Kris Statlander being a champ, you would think she was booked like Jack Swagger. She fought Toni, Mercedes, Hayter and had a pretty good feud with Thekla. If you need someone else to do more for you to like Statlander, that is a you problem.

The best thing about this is that even if they do what they can to silence the chants, we do still have Brody’s bark which could easily come to be a proxy for it. Wrestling fans will find a way to express themselves and if we have to become a dog headed hydra, we will.

I went to some length on the business case against ICE on the new episode of @chattermachine.net. even businesses that don't directly work with international talent have zero reason to support ICE unless it's to toe the fascist line and hope Fearless Leader doesn't turn focus on them #AEW
AEW and WB should be actively against ICE. Half of the roster are not American born or live outside of the country and travel back and forth. if Their ability to travel is restricted by immigration services or their visa is revoked, that interrupts their business.

We as wrestling fans, and even non wrestling fans, need to stand 10 toes down when it comes to percieved censorship of expression. Say FUCK ICE with your full chest, support people like Brody King with what he brings to music and AEW, and overwhelm the fucking haters.

My spouse is only familiar with Ciampa through me posting Chuck Taylor talking about Ciampa's finger in his ass. This has resulted in chanting "FINGER IN THE ASS" when Ciampa is onscreen. #AEWDynamite 🤼♂️

hell yeah, let's make it happen #AEW
Thekla’s mask is extremely cool because Thekla is extremely cool. If both she and Brody win tonight and on Saturday then both #AEW world champs will be lead singers in punk bands and I just sincerely and genuinely love that so much y’all 🤼♀️🤼

Pretty silly end when the point of special matches are that you can lose unconventionally (like getting whacked with a belt)!
It felt AEW thought "people like-like Thekla but she has to keep SOME heel heat" and panicked with a No One Likes This end to dull a big pop

I by no means am upset about Thekla winning but I think it would've been way more satisfying narratively for Kris to get way too overconfident and goaded into a match only to lose clean. AEW has way too many "heels run in to ruin everything/faces have no friends to help" and it fucking BLOWS
