I was wondering why Saraya and her bumass boyfriend stopped arguing with people on Twitter. #ThankYouBryan She tweets about neck beards again, Bryan’s straight up going to steal her passport at next year’s All In. What if she wants to spread neckbeard health awareness? |

I'm honestly not against the idea of having a respected wrestler do this in theory, rather than the usual way they threw some sacrificial toadie out there who nobody liked who puts on a suit and plays corporate hardass like a big man. Maybe it all turns out terrible after all, but there does feel like some logic in taking a guy people like and respect, and having him try to keep people in line a bit more. It does at least seem worth the attempt.

Maybe that might lead to further responsibilities in that manner beyond disciplinary. Or there’s a road he could go down where he presses the green button, goes full Wrestler’s Court and goes mad with power. |

Me rn: "This makes sense and is likely a way to transition Bryan from an active wrestler to more officially one of Tony's right hand men" Me in a year: "OK so maybe the Danielsonverse where Danielson wins every title and has bullied most of the roster into quitting for real has some roots tying back to giving him the power here" |

What will actually happen is Danielson wrestles everyone every show and loses every match. |

Being fined for free speech is an interesting position to be in. I wonder if their contracts have a 'no disparaging the company' clause.
If they don't, if anyone really wanted to challenge that in court (or even if it did considering American Free Speech laws), it would be interesting to see.
I good idea to exert some control and professionalism, but always interesting to theorise where an actual legal challenge could lead.

I've known people fired for social media posts so a little fine doesn't seem strange to me. A lot of companies have policies against disparaging them on social media and pro wrestlers are a lot more public than some guy who works in accounts and uses a screenname to conceal is identity.

A lot of companies have policies against disparaging them on social media and pro wrestlers are a lot more public than some guy who works in accounts and uses a screenname to conceal is identity. But those would be employees - does AEW count their wrestler's as employees? I just always like to pick apart legal what ifs in situations like this, same with any time WWE does contract stuff, I like to try and imagine what might happen if someone tried to legally challenge a company telling them what to do when they aren't 'real' employees. I suppose the issue would be if the wrestler could prove their comments directly led to them being discriminated against, rather than a free speech case, as AEW isnt saying they cant say thing, just handing out consequences if they do - though how far those consequences could be pushed before it became a legal matter would be another interesting avenue. No wrestler ever decides to fight anything legally (for obvious reasons), so we never actually get to see, but I like to wonder 'aloud' anyway! |

Meltzer poured some water on this on WOR and noted that he hadn't heard anything about Danielson actually giving out fines. Just that he is on the Disciplinary Committee and helps make decisions but he's not "the guy" in charge of the fines or anything.

Free speech is protection from government action, not a private employer’s action. This! It’s the same reason I can’t type variations of f*** on this message board. I can type around it while screaming “FIRST AMENDMENT!” and there will still be consequences. More people need to actually read and absorb the 1st Amendment |
