Compassionate conservatism is possible. It doesn't happen much, but it does happen. Winston Churchill was right wing, and he defeated fascism in Europe singlehandedly. Then lost the 1946 election because British people wanted the welfare state and a National Health Service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ran a wrestling company just for those who politically agree with you...you would be out of business in no time. ESPN had to eliminate their political speech on their shows because too many consumers was leaving them. Im a progressive on some issues...conservative on others. I’m not watching a wrestling entertainment program to listen to political talk from right or left. AEW has had a brilliant start to their launch. I’ve already spent my hard earned cash on the product and I don’t regret it one bit...DON was fantastic. But if AEW turns into AOC TV or if WWE turns into Trump Land I will turn them off and there won’t be any hesitation.

Most right wing boycotts are completely flaccid, but you do you. Quote ESPN had to eliminate their political speech on their shows because too many consumers was leaving them. I'd suggest ESPN has bigger problems than political speech. Like being 98% garbage. Edited May 27, 2019 by West Newbury Bad Boy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who won't concede someone's on the Nazi's side unless the someone in question is goose stepping and Seig Heiling. And even then, some people will talk about context and forgiveness instead of Nazis. Vince could wear a MAGA hat on Raw and that dude wouldn't get it.

I have watched WWE maybe 6 times in the last 3 years...so forgive me if I did not appreciate how far right wing that they have gotten. My point still stands...if AEW becomes a show for only those who agree with you on all political issues then it’s gone. If it becomes a show for those only who believes in all the stuff AOC believes in...AEW will die. Same with WWE. Why cut your potential audience in half? Horrible business. This will be my last comment in this truly stupid subject of politics in wrestling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I thought Hiroo Onada was the last of the holdouts fighting WWII, but West Newbury Bad Boy’s heroic tale is inspiring. Too bad Churchill isn’t around to relieve him of his duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need to take anything you say in the world of Professional Wrestling seriously anymore. Because that is quite possibly the dumbest position I have ever read on a wrestling message board. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) How would you actually do that? Would it be like those Christian Wrestling shows, only the heels are bigots instead of sinners? Kenny Omega to change his ring name to "Worker's Rights" start a tag team with "Healthcare for All (Brian Pillman 2)" and feud with "Privatised Prison System (Joey Janela)" and "Tax Cuts for the Wealthy (MJF)"?
