Eh, I’m just baffled that Atheltic Commissions have enough say in 2024 to do this to begin with. The cats kinda been outta the bag since.. the dawn of man.

Nyla is THE funniest wrestler on Twitter, btw. It's worth repeating.

Oh but these assholes totally only care about fairness in sports and not part of a concerted push to delete a persecuted minority from public life to ensure they never reach the same minimal level of acceptance that even gay people have. In an ideal world wrestling promotions would wash their hands of the state and any other state with similar laws, but these days it's hard to tell which way the sport will go.

They should ban JR in response.

It’s 2024, can people just stop with the freaking transphobia already? I’ve worked with some of the soundest (nicest for translation from Scouse English) people from all scales of the LGBTQ spectrum and it hurts my damn soul that people like these on the OSC are dead set on going full Hitler and trying to exclude or eliminate trans people for the simple reason that they don’t ‘conform’ to how people should be. Well screw them I say, give me more people like Nyla any day of the week, they’re who I’d wanna associate with in life not some stuck in their ways neckbeards

They should ban JR in response. They should ban Oklahoma (Ed Ferrara in a cowboy hat).

Really shitty that this happened, but fortunately it's just Oklahoma and not a state that actually matters. Cut them out of the touring loop and move on. Who knows enough fans make noise about this, maybe even WWE will join in with the boycott, and then once their wallets start hurting the state might reconsider.

I've been out of the loop, are there any other trans indie wrestlers of note that could be brought in, either to be signed or just as guests? I'd love to see the mental hunancanranas that would occur if these idiots had to wrap their heads around, say, Nyla vs. a trans dude as part of a mixed tag match.

Yeah, the state athletic commissions thing still regulating pro wrestling is nuts, even beyond the thing with Nyla. I remember hearing a story about Backlash 2006 that WWE got fined over 3,000 dollars and a two-year probationary period by the Kentucky boxing/wrestling commission due to wrestlers bleeding and somebody getting thrown over the barricade.
That probably could explain why WWE only does two shows in Kentucky a year, if that.

Didn't Chris Cruise (A C-level TV announcer for WCW) run to the Maryland State Athletic Commission when they did Moxley vs. Omega a few years ago? It's amazing how they still act like it's real. Hopefully TK makes a statement about this.

I will defend the concept of athletic boards regulating wrestling, if done correctly it would cut down on a lot of dirtbag promoters running dangerous shows with untrained workers slashing oneanother with broken light tubes in a ring made of tetanus, duct tape and dreams. Unfortunately in the real world we get those shows and crap like this instead of proper regulation because everything has to be weaponused by the worst people humanity has to offer.

Giselle Shaw from TNA and Gabbi Tuft, the former Tyler Reks, who is training with Dustin Rhodes. I know there are more but they are the only ones I can remember by name.

Oklahoma is literally the farthest outpost of culture and sophistication in the US. Yes, TK should stop doing shows there as should any other wrestling company.

f***ing hell that's dumb. But then isn't Oklahoma also like bottom ranked in education, so that kinda checks out considering.

I hope AEW tells them to f*** off and Nyla gets the belt again in Oklahoma. Better yet, have her win the TBS Title there. Then, they can say that she made history, in Oklahoma, by becoming the first wrestler to win both titles.
