There’s no excuse for it, but it possibly comes from a place of ignorance, not hate. Maybe. Hopefully.

3 Dicks Out For Trips

I see a lot of people online saying how this isn't fair and this cancel culture stuff has to stop. It was 10 years ago, get over it. Things like that.
Ironically there is about a 98% overlap in the group saying that and people who were celebrating literally yesterday when Whoopie got suspended. |

It's no surprise that a stoner idiot, in the extended adolescent bubble of professional wrestling, would be into David Icke, and nonsense like that.
But even when you're dabbling in any aspect of that nonsense, there's a point where you have to draw a line, say "this isn't fun any more", and recognize that what you're espousing to the public isn't just abject bullshit, but hateful, dangerous and morally repugnant. Holocaust denial is a good few miles beyond that line FFS. When you talk about the Holocaust, Sandy Hook and 9/11 like that and then say it was “never” your beliefs when you were recorded doing so and had a whole video of you specifically saying so, that’s a certain level of - well, not taking any responsibility. |

Not denying that it was a shitty thing to say, or that it shouldn't be called out. Just saying it's unfair to say he should have remembered and apologized for a decade old interview he did where he was likely so high that he didn't remember doing it the next day.
He should address it now, but he shouldn't be automatically be deleted from existence which is the main problem with cancel culture. |

As are most "conservative" talking points, fictional or not. This was the 1st time I've heard him, but can easily see how quickly it is stale due to the same 1-3 talking points.

I wouldn't expect him to be "benched" for long. Probably at least 3 weeks because I can't imagine them throwing him out there in Bridgeport, all of 20 min away from Sandy Hook, but I could see him appearing for the company in March. Def don't think people should be permanently deplatformed unless they do something especially heinous, the sex pests in the business are a far bigger issue IMO. |

did they already sign him? thought it was one of those one-off appearances that would probably have led to a "...IS ALL ELITE"

I think the sensitivity training is the dumbest fucking shit about this type of thing. If the person was offensive recently sure, that makes sense. But making someone go for something they said over a decade ago is outright admitting you're not going to even entertain the idea that this person has grown and changed since then. I realize aew knows this and would do it for the optics, but it's shitty and again, unfair that they feel they'd need to.

Feel like he probably would have gotten a tryout as a coach after a couple of matches
I doubt they bring him back now because the PR hit wouldn't be worth it |

If you’re worried about AEW’s ratings dipping even with the heavily pushed MJF vs. Punk match, never fear — Tony Khan has announced more signings are coming. More, MORE!

Surely Forbidden Door refers to someone appearing on a show of a promotion when contracted to another? It’s not forbidden if the person is a free agent!
This is why people can’t get into AEW, it’s all overhype and underwhelm. A TOP wrestler, FORBIDDEN door….and it’s Keith Lee. A guy the bigger company decided wasn’t worth his contract. If they would stop click baiting and ANNOUNCING things, the product might speak for itself. Tony Khan needs to shut up. |

Yeah I'm not the least bit interested by another signing right now. Just means less time for someone else at this point.

Yeah the Forbidden Door™ probably suggests it’s someone from another promotion rather than a free agent, unless it’s become a catch all for “coming into AEW”.

Equally underwhelming would be if his definition of top guy is a top guy in his respective company. Cause if it's not njpw, then top guy doesn't mean anything.

The Forbidden Door is probably Mickie James in a "look, we can do it too" maneuver
The other mystery opponent making their debut is probably Keith Lee |
