Hurricane is a Top 20 stooge.   He was on Twitter trying to deflect the racist t-shirt situation last week.  

Hurricane was also going at Ron Funches a few weeks back because Funches was unhappy with the intersection of racist behavior and wrestling, so Helms is basically an angry racist corporate stooge. 

Again, Twitter is the worst. 

[Curt McGirt 10,767]

Arguing with Ron Funches over anything seems like a bonafide "you might be an asshole if..."

It was AJ Styles - multiple sites have already reported that.

Basically when Seth started bitching a couple of other places were like "Yes Seth is correct. He didn't give the speech. It was AJ"

To be fair, I'm out of the loop. My daughter's school had today off for local elections and so we've been on the go since lunch time.

AJ Styles giving that speech also isn't surprising.

Remember when people were saying AEW has to be careful to not be "too liberal" and alienate half the audience?  I think that latest TalkisJericho takes care of those concerns 

Just going by this statement - technically those concerns should have been erased by anyone looking at the political donations of the owner of the company

Sucks that Bliss is made of glass. Might be time to transition her to a managerial role for a while.

I said this weeks ago and about 4-5 dudes said I was being a jerk

This is also true.

Did I say "jerk?" I like to think I'd have found a way to soften that blow.

Anyway, I'm always open to changing my mind when new information presents itself, open-mindedness, yada yada yada. Adding this to a growing list of such stories is hard to brush off.

Apparently the speech AJ gave wasn't "rah rah". He just "addressed concerns".

Glad it’s not a concussion for Bliss. If she wants to wrestle, they should let her, as she’s getting better, but they’ve got to be smarter about how hard they push some of these folks in terms of schedule. Alexa probably shouldn’t be wrestling 200+ times a year. I think she’s one of those who shouldn’t work on tv every week for the sake of working on tv every week. 

[Andy in Kansas 12,553]

At the very least, Bliss as a manager would have the benefit of not being on the "no contact" list like Paige.

Oy vey.

 

I just checked the Florida voter registration records, and Jericho is registered No Party Affiliation. So, he's telling the truth about himself (technically, people who do volunteering might be a bit more cynical about self proclaimed independents who always vote for the same party).

NPA is not to be confused with "the independent party" which was where people on Florida ended up registered if they wrote Independent on their registration, Macho Man Randy Savage was registered into that "party", for example.

Because Meltzer said Seth made a speech but it was actually AJ? Wrestlers live in some kind of bubble. Good grief.

That's all well and good, and thanks for sharing. But my problem with the tweet has nothing to do with Jericho's party affiliation or what his leanings may or may not be. Rather, it's Jericho's rushing to the center to shield himself from people's discontent over him platforming a shitheel with a shitty book. It's a gutless move that's poorly thought through at best, and at worst it's generally a way some people with really shitty, dangerous ideas like to present themselves so they seem less extreme. I give Jericho the benefit of the doubt and assume he's a gutless moron rather than an actual bad actor.

Gonna be weird transitioning to plugs for Omaha Steaks in between Jr's ramblings about poison Skittles and trans athletes.

Next episode he'll have on Richard Spencer and Dennis Prager.

I dunno. After that leaked audio yesterday, I'm starting to think that Spencer guy might be a racist. Better play it safe and go with Gavin McInnes. 

[Ryan 5,635]

Jericho likes fringe disproven bullshit, he might believe in Racialism, better get some of those freaks on there. This covers all of the above already.

[Zakk_Sabbath 2,706]

How deep in the bubble am I that I'm wondering if Jericho interviewed the furher's son strictly for the heat? 

[Cobra Commander 2,033]

one of you will have to check to see if the topic of UFO's came up..

Quote

UFOs are real, and aliens have been living among us all along! UFO expert SMQ reveals what his top-secret government source has revealed to him about their existence, what the human race needs to do prepare, and why the US government is allowing so much information to be released now. He explains the CIA’s “Gateway Process,” what the Mandela Effect has to do with UFOs and aliens, and the real truth about the moon which is actually an alien satellite made of metal.

yes, that's a TIJ episode description.. not even a Halloween week one (like the Bigfoot episode)

[Ryan 5,635]

If he actually believes even 2% of that he should be locked up for evaluation.

it's all fun and games until Chris Jericho is working nights hosting the Coast to Coast radio show on half of the clear channel ~~station~~ AM stations

I know that show name from one of the talking heads on Ancient Aliens, I can't remember his name but he talks like Mr Bottomtooth. Not the Greek guy or the accent guy. 

This all reminds me that I should rewatch that awesome Londrick shoot where they're smoking a blunt and drinking Heinekens, and Spanky starts talking about how the moon is hollow.

Sadly there is not a single Phil Hendrie Art Bell parody up on Youtube or anything to post here.
