While the AEW wrestling promotion is pretty woke, they're owned by the Khan family (Jacksonville Jaguars) who donated to Trump. Wrestlers/executives The Young Bucks are also big Trumpers and their biggest star Chris Jericho donated to Orange Man too.

One of my Facebook friends was saying this crap too.

Bizarrely, Mitchell responded to Amanda by reposting his original article on a self-hosted Geocities website (which has since been removed), as well as taking a comment from Dave Meltzer out of context in order to corroborate his opinions.

Jesus learn to take the L, son.

To anyone unaware, wrestling is a sleazy business. The sleaziest. The journalists who cover it are just hustlers with a word press and are an active detriment to the genre. The one thing gaming journos have over the wrestling ones is that the gaming journos believe they're serving a higher purpose. The Mitchell types are just out to get as much money as they can and damn the consequences.

Bruce Mitchell going after brodies widow while his body hasn't even cooled is not even the most classless thing a wrestling journo has done this year, guaranteed. These parasites are true scum.

That's true of all sports "journalism", not just wrestling.
