Welcome to episode 78 of Everything Elite!After the events of the last week and the Speaking Out movement, and the several members of All Elite Wrestling who were named in various allegations including forms of emotional/physical abuse as well as sexual assault, we chose to deviate from our usual format to discuss Speaking Out and AEW to lead off the show. We understand that this is potentially a distressing topic, and that the three of us are speaking of it as white cis males, so we recognize that not all listeners are going to want to listen through it. After that, we spend a couple of minutes talking about the news with COVID-19 and the distressing situation with it amongst major American wrestling promotions filming in Florida. As a heads up, these discussions involve abuse, sexual assault, and COVID.
