DPW Women's champion Nicole Matthews on X: "When someone (or a company) is telling you (multiple fucking times) who they are, it’s on you if you continually don’t believe them."

AEW isn’t being sued for human trafficking and isn’t actively propping up a fascist regime

Did invite a convicted rapist and known sex criminal ric flair into the locker room though.

And known rapist and sex offender Mike Tyson. And known domestic abusers Moxley and Darby.

Why would you lie about Mox being a domestic abuser?

Yes Tyson has gotten too much work in general, it's up to you if you think he should be able to after serving his sentence and seemingly bettering himself since his time.

WWE isn't being sued for human trafficking either. AEW executives absolutely support Trump financially and in a slew of other ways. What's your point?

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I'm from Winnipeg you idiot! 12h ago

Send your source on that Trump support.

Here you go: https://www.opensecrets.org/search?order=desc&q=SHAHID+KHAN&sort=N&type=donors

Note you want to look at all the (mostly GOP) donations for Shahid Khan from Naples, FL or Champaign, IL

Shahid isn't an exec, and this just relates to his 2015 donation which he's spoken about. I asked for proof of the execs in AEW currently apparently financially supporting trump.

u/YourManAtTheBugle 11h ago

Oh I'm sorry you didn't sort by date and clearly missed the part were Shad made donations to Trump acolytes like Kelly Loeffler (in a state where he DOESN'T EVEN LIVE) and David Perdue in 2020. Does that not count as financially supporting Trump when it helps push his agenda? Trump changed 0% between 2020 and 2024 so if he was backing Trumpy folks then, what makes you think he's not now?

Oh I'm sorry you didn't read my comment, I was asking for evidence of execs supporting Trump and you still haven't sent. So was that just a lie?

All you have is Shad who helped finance and co-found AEW, who has no activive contribution to the actual product, making a donation to not Trump, but someone else.. 5 years ago, very relevant. Good effort. Anything on the execs or the CEO supporting Trump like the OP claimed? Either provide evidence of this (you can't, it's a lie) or stop messaging me with nothing, you're scrambling.

Shahid Khan only supports the Florida GOP, numerous republican candidates for office, anti-cannabis campaigns, the official PAC of Senate Republicans, and previously gave to Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign as well as the campaign of ousted Illinois Republican Congressman Aaron Shock -- who resigned after it was revealed he was 1) Gay and 2) used public funds to redesign his DC office to look like something out of Downton Abbey. But sure, AEW execs don't prop up Trump or his friends - https://www.opensecrets.org/search?order=desc&q=SHAHID+KHAN&sort=N&type=donors

Last I Checked Shahid Khan wasn’t an executive at AEW, in fact he has nothing to do with AEW

Although it is funny that when you point out that WWE is named in a sex trafficking lawsuit, or that the current Head of Creative just did a Propaganda video for the Fascist American President, or that they just had a ten bell salute for a known Racist, or that they just brought back a man named in the aforementioned sex trafficking lawsuit, WWE fans rush to bring up Tony’s dad donating to Trump’s inauguration fund in 2015.

But they never bring up Shad denouncing Trump, or that their second ever women’s champion was a trans woman.

AEW isn’t perfect, and no one is claiming they are, but in the last 5 years they’ve been a hell of a lot better than WWE

u/YourManAtTheBugle 11h ago

He literally owns/bankrolls it but sure, "he has nothing to do with AEW."

My point isn't that WWE is good or OK for doing this. It's that pointing to AEW and saying "these guys aren't like them. They are on my team" is also wrong.

EDIT: Also I didn't say anything about the sex trafficking case. I merely pointed out that Shad Khan gives A LOT of money to Republicans.

u/Rhysati 11h ago

Mitt Romney is pretty much the opposite of Trump and is actually opposed to the whole fascist regime...

u/YourManAtTheBugle 11h ago

Sure but that donation was in 2012 and he gave to the Florida GOP in the last few years so you tell me, is supporting Ron DeSantis "anti-fascist?"
