seeing Jay Lethal holding back tears during that match got to me 🙁
Yeah… they should've put it on first
Aew is some hypocrites.
Warner Discovery was looking stupid with this. By all accounts Jay was SINCERELY apologetic and made amends for years and years. Meanwhile they were okay with Dana White being on TV. And are gung ho for Mike Tyson being on the program.
I guarantee they finally saw the online backlash and how many people loved him and vouched for him. Absolute goddamn shame it took him dying for this to happen. Watching that match was rough, someone was cutting onions in my house.
It’s terrible that cancel culture goes this far. Taking down someone professionally all because of a tweet is shady. A tweet is usually said in the context of current news or a certain point in time for someone’s opinions about things. It’s not a permanent belief that should be carried with someone like a scarlet letter, and anyone on twitter knows this. I think with Elon Musk owning twitter there is a different culture to free speech and things are getting better a little. But after seeing Mark in action yesterday, I would’ve wished to see him tag team against the greats with Jay. That table spot was epic.
Jim, I have 2 questions here for the drive-thru: First I always wonder, If Vince Russo was never hired by the WWF would you have stayed in the WWF for the rest of the attitude era and do you think that you'd be in WWE through the 2000s to the current day? The other question I have for you is do you think Ultimate Warrior would have been WWF champion in the late 90s if the whole tension between him and the company did happen in 1996 which resulted in his firing, So pretty much I'm asking if Warrior would have been successful in the WWF during the attitude era if he never got fired in 1996? I love the show and keep up the great work.
The young bucks no longer feel threatened so they went to someone and said yes mark can be on the show now that he's not in a tag team that would've absolutely not taken our sh!t.
Don't kid yourself if you think WBD changed their minds because of the kindness of their hearts. This is purely business for them and the flack they were getting is not something they need right now, considering they are under fire all the time for all the dumbass mistakes they keep making.
Things like jay Briscoes death proves we are a community regardless of promotion or show you watch. We need to stop attacking each other as wrestling fans.
We as wrestling fans get enough shit from the world to begin with. Maybe we all can stop attacking each other and come together for the community and realm of pro wrestling
TK didn't fight for the Briscoes until Jay died and the fans spoke out.
Take about 20% off there Jim
It was not a TV exec, it was AEW and they had to do something because their network was getting heat
As much as I critcise Tony, I think with what's happened he went to bat for Mark and made sure this happened.
It's really sad that it took an untimely death of Jay Briscoe to allow Mark to finally be on AEW television……….
They should've been on Dynamite as soon as they were signed but of course a big company like WBD has to give into the "woke" garbage……
Is the pervert going to apologise for blaming the young bucks ?
Glad this guy had his name cleared. All Mark is known for is being one of the friendliest and most intelligent wrestlers EVER, it's so messed up that he was kept off TV for standing by his own brother.
This was a great match super emotional watching this match
I had the same reaction jim did.
Loved the match. Must have been very difficult to go out there under the circumstances, and they did Jay proud.
How come they wasn’t allowed on aew or wwe
Did the network just not like the way they talked or look? It has to be something more than 10 year old tweets.
Warner Bros is garbage
The only reason Jay wasn’t allowed to wrestle on AEW was due to a tweet that hurt people’s feelings? Well, only political party that gets upset over them tweets are democrats. Who ever is in control of who’s allowed to be seen or not on their television has to be a democrat.
Jim said but this match on first, but it was a perfect end to the show
why is everyone buying the story that Briscoes were not allowed? I think Tony was jsut afraid of invinting them
I liked the match but I hate that Tony Khan profits when guys dies at the best of times, let alone when he refused to sign the guy when he was alive.
And it was a great match
I'm so sick of cornettte's opinions
Cried my a** off watching this match. RIP Jay.
Shame on all the big networks for NEVER letting the damn Briscoes on our tvs for X amount of years.
It takes having Jay to be killed, for the network to allow his brother on tv ?
It takes a death for a wrestler to be given tv time?
Shame on them, absolute shambles, because of what? A stupid tweet?
Idiots.
Rest in peace Jay, the networks never knew what they missed, but at least we had you for the short time that it was ❤️
They should have never been unable to be on dynamite that was so stupid on Warner's part I can only imagine the emails tweets however you reach out to a company like that. Yet Dana White can have a show after being on video slapping his wife or girlfriend however she is
Still need to find out who said the initial "NO" …
Tony fought for this
The fans def.helped…But I'm sure TK fought his butt off for this too.
