Couple of things I wanna get out of the way. First of all, to those who watched AEW Revolution over the weekend, it's great that you've enjoyed it. And second, congratulations to those who won their respective matches and won or retained their titles.
There's one thing I want to touch on that has been bothering me this week is where AEW wrestler Ricochet insulted a fan with Multiple Sclerosis on social media. Ricochet, as you may know, had lost the AEW National Championship in a battle royal match won by Jungle Jack Perry after he's the last to elminate him. After I read that the now former AEW National Champion made that insult, it really made me sick to my stomach. The idiots in the IWC been doing the same thing since day one by not only insult and mock those because of their disability, disease or illness. Why? Because they did the same to me because of my disability.
Going on social media insulting or mocking people because of their disability, inflicted with a disease or having a mental illness or any other illness, whether they're famous or not, is totally not okay. But this is where it gets better, after that insult, Ricochet apologized. That apology he gave on social media is not even going to cut it, because that was the weakest apology I've ever heard.
If I were AEW right about now, I'd discipline or even slap a monetary fine on Ricochet. Because like I said, insulting people because of their disability, coming down with a disease or having an illness is totally NOT okay. All wrestling promotions, not just AEW, but ALL promotions need to start setting up some guardrails to prevent these incidents like this during a live show or on social media to be repeated ever again.
