You could have cut his name off and told me it was Drake Younger and I would not have questioned it. That is how hive minded these people are.

Why are like 90% of people with dog avatars on Twitter assholes? Those poor dogs deserve better owners.

Outside of Corgan's NWA and maybe MLW, there's not a company left that's gonna give him a job after this.
New Japan wants 0.0% of this bullshit with all the other stuff they've got going on.

Maybe it played no part in his firing but I think choosing the weekend of Stings retirement, clearly a hugely important show for AEW and Tony Khan, to go online and bitch about the company made things even worse for him. Selfish and unprofessional to create negative headlines when the weekend should have been about celebrating Sting. Honestly, between this and Brawl In, the company needs to have a policy that if you knowingly start shit like this the weekend of a PPV or major show, your ass is gone. End of story.

Holy shit, he's REALLY gone off the deep end. Like, as bad as it looks on his main Twitter feed, look at these replies in immediate succession to each other: Kevin "I hate child trafficking but I will not judge child traffickers" Kelly. Also, him confusing the George C Scott film "Hardcore" for the Nicolas Cage film "8MM" when trying to make his point is pretty funny. I said it in the other thread, he literally SNAPPED dude, like flew off the deep end in a way that wasn't ignorable Glad they didn't.

He forced AEW's hand by f***ing around and quickly found out.

I'm surprised no one has made this joke yet, so I'll be the one to do it.

Finding out that Kevin Kelly is a shitty person is like finding out your sleep paralysis demon is also kinda racist

I said it in the other thread, he literally SNAPPED dude, like flew off the deep end in a way that wasn't ignorable Glad they didn't. Nah, the scary part is, this isn't even him snapping. He'd already snapped. This was just finally something that looked bad enough and at such a bad time that it finally got him some consequences. People don't just one day wake up and act like this. It is a long, slow process we saw play out over months if not years of him gradually becoming this. It's very common for deep conspiracy theory believers to life in a world so framed by paranoia and sensationalism, that when they do run into things like friends distancing themselves, relationship strains that end with their partner taking the kids, or losing their job due to their behavior, they get very volatile and even deeper into that paranoia even if they don't think the vague 'them' they're mad at is pulling those strings. Kevin Kelly slow burned a complete change to the way he viewed the world around him and his relationships with those in it, and once he believed that his beliefs were impacting his job, he showed what's been living inside of him for a while now.

If only there were a suitable replacement that Ian Riccaboni already has a great rapport with. Yes I’m shilling for Veda Scott to be hired again. Veda should have been hired instead of Kevin to begin with in my opinion She's too light-hearted a person to have been suitable for the miserable original vision of Collison. These days it's a different show and she'd be a fine choice. Although her natural home would be Rampage, or even nxt but selfishly I wouldn't want that.

People have won Oscars for less complelling performances than George C. Scott's freakout in the cinema scene alone in Hardcore.

Good for him. He's got another talking point other than "lol slutshaming, women are rats MIrite?" for shoot interviews now.

Honestly, I'd like to have her on Collision just because I could see her having decent chemistry with Nigel. I always felt her only problem in AEW was that she and Taz had anti-chemistry, and that she was redundant alongside Excalibur in terms of commentary specialties. (And the idea of a Veda/JR desk in 2020 made me shudder in horror at what JR would unleash.) Veda/Nigel/Schiavone actually sounds like a solid desk in my head.

A Schiavone/Nigel/Veda desk would automatically become one of the best in all of wrestling.

I know this was a long time coming, and I know that this is who he always was (mid-aughts NY news radio Kevin Kelly who had his own weird calls on who to blame 9/11 and the Iraq War on are still remember by the two or three dozen people who heard it) but I think going public pissbaby like this so rapidly is still pretty staggering. On top of that, having such transparency to say "I have no problem with child traffickers, I hate child trafficking" in so many different ways is so dumb.
Throwing it all away for 'Sound of Freedom.' What a way to go out, out like a sucker.

It's also a cautionary tale / sobering reminder that, absolutely no matter what, don't angrily come at your co-workers on social media.

Sorry for the triple post, but I think it's important that someone begins photoshopping Ian giving the peace sign near a grave marked "Kevin Kelly's AEW Career."
