Maybe it's cause I've met Nyla Rose and she's nice, but I have no real issue with a biological male playing a female in a theatrical role (which pro wrestling is).
However, biological males beating on biological females in pro sports and (especially) combat sports is a BIG NO NO for me.
And unfortunately the former might be part of the slippery slope to the latter by making it more acceptable. Even though that slope shouldn't exist, and we should have the cultural intelligence to draw a line between "theater" and "competition" and differentiate the two.
Unfortunately we completely lack cultural intelligence. And because of that, someone telling the truth / pointing out the Emperor's lack of clothes like you did on this reddit, is a breath of fresh air whenever I see it.

Forbidden Door isn't just sold out, it's Sold Out Plus. Behind-stage seats are available and going semi-fast.
The last few AEW PPVs (as well as First Dance and Grand Slam) have all done this, sell out and then loop around and sell that out too (or almost).
Last time I saw a wrestling company filling full-sized arenas all the way around as any kind of regular thing was probably WWF from 98 to 01. Admittedly, they were able to do this for episodes of RAW and Smackdown while AEW is only doing it for their PPVs and special event episodes, but still, very impressive in this day and age.

Lot of fuss being made about Vince this week. I could be wrong or missing details, but as I understand it all he's actually "guilty" of is paying someone he had an affair with a particularly large salary. Could be hush money, or maybe he just liked her a lot. Either way, I give literally no fucks if that's all it was.

It could be worse I guess. They could have thrown Adam Cole at him. TK instead has this weird three-way triangle with White-Hangman-Cole. I'm not sure why Cole is trying to get a title shot against White since they supposed to be friends. If Kenny does come back in time, I would love to see him face White. Bryan vs Ospreay would be amazing as well. Apparently he is going against Zach which should be awesome as well.

It's Multiple NDAs over a 25ish year time span that are being reviewed currently. Both him and John Laurinaitis are in them with multiple on and off air talent. John's done in WWE.

White/Hangman/Cole are all of Kenny's potential heir apparents.
White is Kenny's replacement as Bullet Club leader. Cole is Kenny's right-hand guy. Hangman is the blue-chipper who was always destined to be the next big guy from that group. So it's interesting to put the 3 of them together in various configurations.

Vince has stepped down as CEO temporarily. Steph is now in charge.

You can't do that on reddit, all the mods are trannies. That's how all my accounts and email addresses are permanently banned.
Like Rajaah said, this is the one sport that a transgender wrestler is fine in, you should have been more subtle and gone after her being fake "native american" or whatever she's supposed to be.

They aren't as anal about shit.
There is a ton of trolling there in the AEW section.

I don’t think Vince stepping down is temporary.
John Laurinaitis will end up being fired as well.
apparently Vince will be on TV tonight in character. Hoping Steph and HHH give him the “You’re Fired” shtick. Either way I’ve never been more pumped for a Smackdown in recent memory.
also this is probably the worst thing that coulda happened to AEW is Steph and HHH end up taking over creative and talent relations.

This is what im expecting to, if they don't have steph hit him with the Youre Fired they fucked up real bad.
Apparently he's not stepping down from creative though? which is comical if true
