the nostalgia is just too strong. he can't resist. I'm serious, if he could let go of that affinity for what he grew up watching, this wouldn't be going on. there's gotta be other places that aren't just basic regular stadiums over there. Find them.

Agreed, at least until it comes under management that's friendly to the local. I understand he is an ECW Mark for life, and bless his heart for it, but putting on a show when there's some kind of action going on between the union and the venue...idk feels weird

Especially when his crew is already union (IATSE Local 115)

If I was in that crew/union I would feel like I was being put in a weird position by this whole situation, personally, but hell what do I know

I've never been in a union but my mom and brother were. I'm a strong believer in labor unions and shame on the 2300's ownership for not being a union shop. But my thought is that whatever Local 115 and AEW agreed to is what it is, and I'm not sure any amount of inflatable rats overrides that.

But, like you said, what the hell do I know?
