AEW Removes Fan Holding Transphobic Sign During Nyla Rose Match

[Smart Marx]

I miss the good ole days of Yesteryear of wrestling...where men carried knives and guns instead of Game Boys. Where you could insult someone, and they would have to take it. Oh, woe is me as I long for them days.

Don’t forget wrestlers needing to be escorted out of buildings because fans would be waiting with weapons to jump them. NOW that was heat.

Hell yeah, brother! Also don't forget you could push the new guys around and make them inject milk or poop in their baggage

Swamps went to an AEW show?

I tried to go to one, but Tony Khan had already bought all the remaining tickets. At least that's what Alvarez reported.

Bret eating booty before it was cool.

I don't even know what correlation Cornette thinks he's making there. The reason we don't have territories spread across America drawing 10K fans a week like we used to in the early/mid 80s is because of what could have been written on fan signs? What people were "allowed to say"? Protectin da wrestler's feelings? Used to get actual heat? Vince McMahon Unicron-ing everything and everyone back then leading to territorial wrestling not being to compete with national wrestling probably has more to do with it?

He's not wrong that they used to 'get away' with more (the amount of gay slurs thrown at somebody like Adrian Street, Adrian Adonis, etc) but I just wish he understood that was a good thing. Imagine being gay (if you have to) and sitting next to a bunch of people yelling "f*g! f*g!" at a heel as if it was encouraged. You're not making just the wrestler a heel at that point, you're making being queer the heel.

I'm saying all this as someone who way the fuck prefers 80s/90s wrestling to what's going on now but you can have shows like that back then and not have to keep the EVERYTHING.

of fucking course captain edgelord would think that further proof Cornette is human garbage

Jim who? The guy who managed Mantaur? I'm pretty sure the last time he was relevant was the mid 90's....

I've only listened to a few snippets of his podcast but I'm not sure how a guy in his 60's knows what a modern wrestling audience wants. 50% of the modern wrestling audience is under 34 years old. I barely fall into that category and I only have vague memories of some nerd looking guy walking out with a tennis racquet.

He's a few years away from being an old man in a nursing home telling the carers "I was there when the hulkster picked up andre the giant!" before s**tting himself...

AEW needs to do like the English football leagues does with racism and just give people like that 'fan' a lifetime ban from all events

0% of the modern wrestling audience is under 34 years old.

That's not what the demos say.

Also random sign guy drew more heat than anyone on the entire roster.
