There is nothing wrong with a bit of capitalism with a positive message, particularly when it's what the performer actually feels. Same for Brodie King. Be careful not to make the perfect the enemy of the good.

I'm a pretty rabid anti-capitalist but I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I haven't absolutely loved this aspect of the Hangman storyline. And frankly more leftists should be burning down their enemies' houses 😜

There are also examples like Brodie King with the Abolish ICE t-shirt. That's not something they benefit financially from.

Yeah you might be right on that one. Hangman is over like a god in Mexico after the promo in Spanish and AEW will do very well out of that, but (and this is a guess cos I'm not in the US) the abolish ICE thing seems like a gamble TK is happy to take cos that's what Brody believes.

Which in itself is interesting in the context of right wing former employees complaining about not being allowed to do likewise (and in Jake Hager's case hilariously claiming TK is a communist).
