#can we NOT bring up insulting someone's religion into wrestling please?

[bubblegumlefty]

Honestly, seeing how I didn't tune into AEW Dynamite tonight simply because I forgot it was on a Tuesday this week... I think I might've dodged a bullet tonight. Scrolling through tumblr posts, I've caught up on everything about the whole antisemitic bit with MJF and Juice...

Yeah. Seeing how Max revealed his religion literally the day before this and the whole row of quarters thing... yeah. "Going too far" isn't even properly describing just how bad that was.

I don't even wanna hear whether Max agreed to the bit or not. Even then, it's still horrible.

This might've gotten a pass back in the late 90's/early 2000s (though it's still incredibly distasteful and I'm in no way defending all that). But it's not the 2000's anymore. It's 2023. Do we seriously need to bring back antisemitism into wrestling, whether it's gimmicks, storylines, angles, promos, what the fuck have you?

The answer to that is obviously no. And anyone who actually tries to defend this? Well, I'll have a fun time playing with the block button. 🚫
