Not surprised by this at all as Jericho has always come off as fairly right-wing on the occasions he's been political. Also he's a diehard evangelical Christian, so yeah, right up Trump's alley.

And all of Jerhico's "entitled millennial" jabs in his promos. Ugh. Can Kenny and the Young Bucks just go back to New Japan so I don't have to worry about supporting fascist sympathizers? Fuck. Kenny is my favorite wrestler.

FYI there was some controversy around Kenny a year or so ago and his relationship with a particular problematic promoter

Jericho is a pro wrestler and self-promoter first, he will put anyone one his podcast who he thinks will draw in listeners. Not sure why anyone is surprised by this?

Jericho just living that heel lifestyle in and out of the ring.

I still think he's been an amazing get for AEW. Who he brings on his radio show doesn't take away his entertainment value for me.

My rule of thumb when it comes to professional wrestlers (and people who are involved in the wrestling industry in general) is to keep your expectations low when it comes to their viewpoints and beliefs outside of the ring

That way, you can be pleasantly surprised when your favorite wrestler doesn't turn out to be a total shithead

This is just my viewpoint on people in general, but wrestlers are all highly sus unless proven otherwise.

Works well for any person in the entertainment world and/or upper echelons of business. You often have to be a terrible human to get ahead in life in America.

Well, didn't the Khan family donate to Trump as well? Even if they're miles better than WWE, they still have their share of sketchy political leanings on their roster.

Batista, CM Punk, Jim Cornette, and Zack Sabre Jr. are also liberal.

Well well well lol.

I'm not surprised at this. I'm surprised at anyone who thought that everyone affiliated with AEW was somehow "clean" without any bad connects. The world champion being connected and buddy buddy with this dude just is what it is.

But uh bubbly meme I guess yeah buy those shirts yall!!
