There's AEW now, a competing promotion run by less shitty people.

Two of the EVPs would probably wrestle for DeSantis for free. And Chris Jericho, who has a huge contract for millions's, wife was present during 1/6. He also performed during COVID and is pretty outspoken about his political views.

I guess less shitty in the grand scale of things, maybe, but only by a smidge.

Especially when during the lockdown WWE did something to get their staff counted as essential workers back when it was basically exclusive to like actual doctors and nurses.

AEW has also has plenty of LGBTQ wrestlers as well and to Jerichos credit, he is supporting in trans rights, which is way more than DeSantis or anyone in WWE ever has

Well, WWE does have LGBTQ supporters and Lesbian, Gay, and Bi wrestlers. No transgender wrestlers, though, to my knowledge.

That being said, none of this excuses how bad either are in the things their top people support.

All that is moot if Jericho and possibly others support a political party that wants transgender people dead.

Certain AEW fans grandstand against and decry others, but always ignore that Jericho is a huge chud and has done more damage to the country than those who have the "wrong" wrestling opinions.

i mean Jerichos politics is a weird one to be honest but I doubt anyone in AEW are anti-trans especially when there are outright anti-trans people in the WWE PC, look up Quincy Elliot and Odyssey Jones

Why are you focusing on anti-trans, dude? Jericho has donated to Trump, his wife was at the capitol on 1/6. He held concerts with no mask requirements during COVID, he had Trump's son on a podcast.

I'm not saying WWE is good either. I'm simply saying AEW isn't 'run by less shitty people'. The people at the top are just as bad, just in different ways in some cases.

Oh, so we didn't poke holes in your entire statement is somehow makes it correct?

An openly gay man was basically Vince McMahon's #2 for DECADES. Let's not make this a tit-for-tat situation. A guy like Finn Balor has been an open LGBTQ ally for years, and he's fighting for the title at Summerslam. Let's not pretend AEW is some liberal safe space (considering guys like the Bucks and Jericho are basically in the top 5 when it comes to controlling the company) and WWE is this MAGALand.

Both feds have dipshits in it, and both have shown great strides in inclusiveness. They are no different than any other company that employs hundreds of people.
