Yes. It was the competition. Even I admit that it's likely that someone from WWE called the higher ups at Dominoes... after the shit storm started. To cover their asses. Because the story isn't going to mention AEW at all, it's going to mention "Pro Wrestling." And for the average person, "Pro Wrestling" = "WWE." I mean, it's not like there were more than a couple of folks throwing shit on Twitter about how Nick Gage was doing Nick Gage things while his weapon of choice was being used as intended during a commercial. And it's not like someone tagged Dominoes, thinking it was funny. And Dominoes likely doesn't want to have their product associated with a bank addicted drug robber.

Tony can't hire the Briscoes because of something one of the brothers said a decade ago, but almost everybody else up and down the card can be motherfuckers.

It could be the fact that a decade ago, One of the Briscoes said a Homophobia. Or it could be just as likely that there are promos of them online from this year where half of the content was the word "Fuck." Where do you think my "Standards and Practices" bit came from in that one booking post I made? Because Dem Boys like to use spicy language that turn away people who buy shit.

Honestly at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the network unironically pulls the "international object" card and "no gratutious violence". Not even in reference to WCW either; the suit suggesting it will think it's a totally new idea they just thought up.

I mean, I get it. I really do. However, some things don't make sense. Primarily: How the shit does people scream conspiracy when there is a much more logical reason for things going wrong in AEW.

Like, the Executives were right there at the show, invited by Khan himself. They heard MJF say Shit and Fuck. I get being into the entertainment aspect of wrestling, but it's also a business. Said Executives are thinking dollars and cents. And advertisers don't tend to care for edgier content. Especially lately. I am a fucking Unemployed Auto Parts Salesman (as of Today, long story), and somehow I understand how Television works better than the Son of a Billionaire who mismanages 2 sports teams and 2 wrestling promotions (when is the first ROH show, btw?).
