Geez, Tony, do you not, y'know, vet the people you offer work to? It's not like Kendrick's personal views have been a secret for the last 15 years or so. He's a billionaire, and if there's one thing they do is spend money on something completely on impuse NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS, IT WAS NOT PARTICULARLY COMMON KNOWLEDGELike can we stop with this? He would literally still be employed at WWE if he didn't request his release, he would still have a job, no one would really know about this, no one would care. If someone didn't dig into TV Tropes and find the old Highspots interview that almost no one seemingly knew about or watched, no one would have known about this This wasn't some open secret thing, not even Kendrick's close personal friends in the business seemed very privy to this shit until like, today.

London was always better anyway. Now there's a nigh impossible return I'd want to see.

Apparently AEW cares more about his comments than WWE did.

Apparently AEW cares more about his comments than WWE did. It's hard to say how much WWE really knew about it, like I get it, they're no strangers to f***ing up like that... but this is a really weird situation where Kendrick both talked about this in unpopular shoots or just... not very public places and didn't openly talk about it enough where the general at large community and even people in the business knew he talked about it, so it skirted a lot of the public eye and perception until people dug past "Conspiracy Shit" and saw worse stuff he'd said

I don't really buy that it was entirely under the radar because while I didn't know the entire scope of it I definitely knew Kendrick had a history of saying some yikesy shit and I'm hardly the most in-tune with shoot interviews.

I'd love for a quick Paul London run whenever he has some free time. Revisit a match with Danielson or get the Hybrid Dolphins.

Think we also have to remember some recruitment comes from external sources like someone recommending another guy to be signed and that stuff might come up there but might then be followed up with “Oh, he doesn’t talk about it much in the locker room, it’ll be fine” or something like that and whilst, yeah, that isn’t exactly great, wrestling isn’t the only workplace that works like that, unfortunately.
Again, ain’t justifying anything from anyone but, well, it all just happens.

So what did Kendrick say (PM me if it's stuff that breaches rules)? Ignoring his more wacky conspiracy theories, he's a holocaust denier and a Sandy Hook truther.

I think some stuff was known, but I think it was very vague. The shoot interviews and old videos surfacing of him actually on record saying it is I think what really did him in. If he had actually just decided to keep his job in WWE and not request a release, it's kind of wild that this would have probably never happened

Someone really needs to make a "I have to go now, my planet needs me" and "Brian Kendrick died on the way back to his home planet" Botchamania ending with his AEW match graphic lmfao

Given that one of AEW’s top young stars (MJF) is Jewish and has been vocal about antisemitism, the Holocaust denial ALONE should be a dealbreaker for them.

It wasn't common knowledge. Like I knew he had some dumb conspiracy beliefs, but not completely ignorant and horrid views. Me too, I especially didnt know the Holocaust and Sandy Hook truther stuff Damn just wait until you find out about Ronda Rousey

Honestly? Just say Moxley is fighting a mystery opponent and have one of the new releases whose non competes expired debut or a ROH Talent, if they can get there for showtime that is.
That might not be ideal though, it depends on if they only just scrapped the match or scrapped it hours ago and announced it now, that'd play a part lol. I assume this is opening the show so you have a pretty chaotic situation unfolding.

Good on Tony for doing that but Jay Lethal needs to get the boot also if this is what we are doing ( and rightfully so)
