Once or twice and then they will shut the show down the day of and tell everyone it was because AEW didn't follow safety laws. That gets the general population who doesn't pay attention to anything behind them. Then they suspend or ban all licenses that AEW is responsible for including the wrestlers, which could then trigger suspension or revocation of licenses in other states. Yeah, flauting authority provokes these types into trying to throw their weight around to make an example, the more asinine, the better. And what they have to watch out for now is other states with these bans going back and checking records or if AEW does announce they will not run Oklahoma again that other states with similar laws don't take action against AEW preemptively.

just wanna remind people that while this feels so shitty, awful and inescapable in the news today, this is somehow the tip of the shitty iceberg. you cannot give these people even an inch, they will not stop until anyone who isn’t like them in any way that bothers them is either dead or changed to their liking.
tony can’t look at this in a way that he thinks helps both Nyla and the Oklahoma fans the same amount. this is an attack on Nyla, an effort to make her lose her job for political gain and it won’t stop there, next it’ll be brightly colored gear or women who are muscular, banning shit like house of black because these people are mentally incompetent and it might offend something they don’t even probably believe in.
take a stand and take a tough one, there is no other way. the world is already hard enough for all of us and constantly makes me feel like there’s no hope left on a daily basis. don’t give these scumbags even a crumb.

EDIT: I want someone with more knowledge than me to speak up of any, or all, circumstances where an inner gender occurrence happened in a professional wrestling ring within the state of Oklahoma. Set a precedence and watch these pearl-clutchers back track.

If it was actual sports I would understand this sentiment. But pro wrestling? You can safely do intergender matches so this shouldn’t apply

Run a show there, put Nyla in the main event and then never return.

Why are Athletic Commissions still regulating Pro Wrestling?

I dunno if any one has said it already (didn’t read the whole thread) but…
Beyond all the obvious that was already stated from the rip, what concerns me is other…shall we say…”ideologically aligned” states will hear of this and it’ll become a whole thing with state legislatures and not just ‘athletic commissions.’ I can absolutely see more than one of the backwards ass people at the WV state capitol banging the drum for banning “trans women’s wrestlers” under same vague culture war bullshit - they absolutely made a whole ass law for more or less the same thing because a trans person wanted to be a part of their schools track team.
But that’s all I can say without crossing a line and having a come to Jesus message from a mod in my inbox.
So I’ll just say f*** Oklahoma and f*** bigots and leave it at that

Tony has money to burn, run shows, feature every trans wrestler possible and drag it through the courts. Make the serious Athletic commission explain in court that they're the only people that don't realise wrestling is fake. Considering the way WBD felt about Sonny Kiss, could TK do that without endangering the next TV deal?

"Commission members asked questions and discussed the issues that come along with male vs. female wrestling."
I would pay money to read a transcript of this.

I wasn't even aware state athletic commissions had any influence on pro wrestling.

Absolutely ghastly. f*** transphobes of any and every kind. f*** transphobia of any and every action.\
The whole thing is just so vile with the deliberate use of male pronouns too. Cruel and time-wasting, and you just know every accusation is a confession with the types who would support such a ban.

There's a part of me that would absolutely love to see TK call their bluff and be like "let's see your punitive action, dipshits", because it's entirely probable that they could respond in a way that would open up the state for their own legal challenge (and I'd almost be willing to bet TK can get better lawyers than OK), and also because there's damn near no straightforward way to deal with these idiots and they'll somehow feel emboldened no matter what you do which is the aggravating part. So I'd almost just advocate doing whatever will piss them off more.

I absolutely want Mox to work in a not so subtle f*** you toward these clowns in whatever promo he presumably cuts tonight. Or, even, better…have Nyla go out there…stand in the ring for a second…then look right into the hard cam and say “f*** you, Oklahoma athletic commission!” then leave. But that’s just me fantasy booking n shit

This is so disgusting and inhumane. They're really out here trying to dehumanize a funny, badass trans woman.
Also f**king stupid and embarrassing to do this over a fake sport, let alone a real one.

Ironic, since she's once again demonstrating why she'd immediately be hugely over as a face.
