All he needs to do for a heel turn is voluntarily cut his hair.

Why wouldn't you at least do a hair match and have, say, Marko laugh seeing him with his hair shaved, boom, big heel beatdown.

Jungle Boy is kind of bland at the moment and a heel turn could help that a bit

I feel like if you have an on air guy who is presumably working your big ppv in a day, you pay the HR person the over time to come in on Saturday and get ahead of this thing. At least announce he won't be on the ppv. If he's not, much like that other guy said, I'm going to be getting a refund if I can. There should be zero tolerance for this poo poo and the response should be immediate and as harsh as possible.

Considering all the HR and contract review needed for that to happen, 13ish hours is pretty drat good turn around for that type of release. Well done AEW.

Same. Would have been disappointed in him. Anyway this whole situation is made even more idiotic by the fact that Shida's promo fuckin ruled.

Wasn't he there partly because Alex has been working as Penta's manager?

And not that this should even matter, but Shida barely even has a noticeable accent! English is obviously a second language for her, but her pronunciation is great.

A boombox is not a toy!

You don't fire people without HR involved. And yeah, most HR is salaried, so they'll be pissed at the 2 hours of paperwork on a weekend, but that's part of the gig.

For real. I feel like she's harder on herself about her accent than any reasonable native English speaker would be. You can understand everything she says perfectly fine.

I can't get over how good Kenny opening the envelope only for the shredded pieces of the contract to just.. scatter to the wind is. Sometimes the weather at Daily's ruins segments, sometimes it makes them.

She's gotten much better over the past year.

Her vocabulary is still very limited and her promos very short as a result, but a year ago her accent was a lot more noticeable. It's insanely difficult to learn a second language, especially one as different from Japanese as English. She's made some lovely strides.
