How has Kyrie Irving not been suspended?
Is it just me, or is it kind of wild that Kyrie Irving didn’t even get a game reprieve for tweeting out a movie featuring antisemitic cliches, and then doubling down on it, before eventually deleting it?

MJF is going to bring AEW back to what it does best
Though he’d probably never admit it, and what pisses him off most is that MJF knows it (MJF’s whole character is knowing the things you don’t want to talk about), Tony Khan would tell you with no one else around that MJF is absolutely the heart of AEW.
