That's what wrestling needs, ANOTHER Kevin no one likes. With the resurfacing of Nailz, maybe they can replace one Kevin Kelly with another one. chazraps: Any chance of you asking him?š

Looking into it again, it's not explicit but he went on a phase of dogwhistling about certain groups wanting to control our classrooms. Not enough to actually get him in trouble esp with some of the other people on the roster but Kevin Kelly is also completely insufferable on the show in addition to being *at least some kind* of raging bigot Probably need to row back slightly on saying he's a Nazi then. Bad commentator or not. Nah. Pretend it's normal if you want, anyone who knows anything about Weimar Germany recognizes the parallels. Grown ass man daydreaming on Twitter about fake indoctrination classes. Wbat a loser.

If that catches attention and is true as you say with like receipts and such, Kevin Kelly will not have a job there for long lol Looking into it again, it's not explicit but he went on a phase of dogwhistling about certain groups wanting to control our classrooms. Not enough to actually get him in trouble esp with some of the other people on the roster but Kevin Kelly is also completely insufferable on the show in addition to being *at least some kind* of raging bigot First I'm hearing of this. Ugh.

Kevin Kelly always sounds like his mic is too close to his mic compared to everyone else. Like he's overloading it and making it fuzzy every other word. I thought this was just an aesthetic NJPW choice but then he comes to AEW and brings his appalling mic fuzz with him.

Considering how busy Kelly will be with New Japan I'm guessing Ian Riccaboni or Excalibur will end up being the main play by play guy anyway. š¤·āāļø

When they showed the graphics for the show it had JR in it. Where was JR?

He just doesn't have the same energy he did 25 years ago during the Attitude Era. I'd like to see AEW use him more for sit-down interviews to help develop characters like they were doing a little bit early on. Who wouldn't want to see a sit-down interview between him and CM Punk right now?

I thought Kelly did a great job and a bungled pronunciation here or there doesnāt change that.

Honestly he really isn't needed. Have Ian take over. Regardless, Veda Scott has been doing great work on commentary all around and I'd rather her join Collision over Kelly or having JR drag shit down.

Or at least not announce a match after youāve fallen down at home again and your eye is swollen shut. looks like heās going to take some time off now. Smart maneuver.

Kevin Kelly last night made me remember how much of being able to stand his commentary comes from it being three AM in the morning and me being so blasted and sleepy that my capacity for critical thought fails.

Does he always pronounce Okada's first name like that?
But his worst sin, not dancing to Willow's theme like Caprice and Ian!

Probably need to row back slightly on saying he's a Nazi then. Bad commentator or not. Nah. Pretend it's normal if you want, anyone who knows anything about Weimar Germany recognizes the parallels. Grown ass man daydreaming on Twitter about fake indoctrination classes. Wbat a loser. Can you post the exact quotes from Kevin Kelly that make him a literal Nazi?

Can you post the exact quotes from Kevin Kelly that make him a literal Nazi? This is veering very close to the types of things weāre not allowed to talk about here but a) he said ā3/4ths of the way to being a Naziā not āliteral Naziā as youāve now attributed to him and then b) made a very valid point with regards to how actions and beliefs in the Weimar Republic led to the type of fervent support Hitler and the Third Reich ended up holding. So being this level of patronising isnāt entirely fair here.
