In June of 2025, AEW made its debut in Mexico, at Arena Mexico. Brody had a match that night. During his entrance, he opens his jacket to reveal he’s wearing an ABOLISH ICE shirt; the crowd went bananas.
Then, just days before last night’s Dynamite, Brody King, along with Daniel Warren Johnson, teamed up to donate nearly $58,000 to families that were affected by the recent ICE raids in Minnesota. Brody is synonymous with hating fascism.
If you plan to attend a live sports event in the future, remember: you can just shout things. It’s a space where reacting to strong emotions with shouting is explicitly allowed. Generally speaking it’s a safe environment, since you have to go through a metal detector and there are security guards. And everyone around you will know that the thing you shouted was by a human, because it’s a lot more expensive to run a bot farm in a stadium than on Twitter.
Do make sure that you understand when it is appropriate to shout things. You’ll generally want to wait for a break in play. But you don’t necessarily need to be a fan; if you want to shout something (especially during the Star-Spangled Banner), you can buy a ticket just to shout things.
The drumpf cronies (or literally anyone) can always take the audio and change it though. So really only those who were there know truth. Just like they replaced the boos with cheers on a certain stadium video.
Its a time now when being present is really the only possible way to see truth. Everything else is a lie.
This is true for the broadcast, but they are yet to change the audio inside the stadium.
Is this not true about like, every video tho?
Sun tsu made the point that you don’t want to leave an opponent without a retreat, specifically you should leave them the retreat available which you would prefer they take.
Have faith in your fellow community members to become better people and give them the opportunity, if only in the directions you prefer.
I don’t think any one would argue a pro wrestling crowd as a particularly progressive group, but here we are. Give them the opportunity to be better and take away any other options.
Also, if you are a reader of current affairs, the most recent edition has an article on the kayfabe presidency. Worth the time.
AEW is a LOT better than the old school wrestling organizations. I have a (former) AEW wrestler trans-rights shirt (CM Punk)
“Folks… it’s very hard for me to heel if you’re out there chanting a more evil organization’s name.”
No kings but Brody King!
Brody King is also the vocalist for the on hiatus band God’s Hate!
Meanwhile WWE had one of their biggest annual shows take place in a country that beheads gay people. In terms of wrestling this might have been one of the most important moments of this era.
Let me know when this happens in the US.
This apparently happened in Las Vegas, NV
I read your summary completely wrong. My bad.
The post says Mexico?
That was a previous event. One of the wrestlers in the video, Brody King (long beard with tattoos), performed at a previous event in Mexico in 2025 and he wore a shirt that said “Abolish ICE”. The video posted took place in Las Vegas last night
Ah thanks for the context
