It's not shade so much as it's my opinion regarding how I think it doesn't fit the feel of what is supposed to be AEW's most extreme match.

Maybe "logo" wasn't the right description.

It's more a wordmark if we're picking nits, but there were edits to it that aren't straight font, but who cares.

100% agree.

Too much going high when they stay low.

They should reach across the aisle...and fight.

Decorum isn't working any more.

Stop being the exact same as the corporate fluffing conservative assholes (...but on *your* side!) and practice what you preach.

FIGHT for people.

Period.

All this to say, I've done cool, fun stuff and I would love to do more cool, fun stuff for anyone hiring. I lost my job three weeks ago due to Trump making Solar Tax Incentives disappearing on Dec 31 and the Solar Company I was Director of Marketing for lost most of our business.

Someone hire me!

Another project was the Chris Jericho/Orange Cassidy debate.

This was a fun one.

Eric Bischoff even gave me props for it on Twitter!

I did some other fun stuff for them as well. One night Matt Hardy tagged with the Young Bucks and I did a "Hardy Boys Era" type video for his entrance with one hour notice. It was fun seeing something I'd just finished being played in Jacksonville minutes later.

You better be glad Dwight David Honeycutt isn't running for a spot on the school board where you live, Ian.
