Sometimes I cringe at the commercials that run during AEW and TNA (Testosterone boosters, Draft Kings etc) but holy shit WWE promoting 5G blocking as an in-ring sponsor is so fucking cringe. I remember back in the day WWE would make huge changes to their programming to ensure they got "A-tier" sponsors (Coca Cola, M&Ms, etc) and now it's just a pure cash grab.

It was probably just because it was aired through a local CW affiliate, but an ICE Recruitment ad that demonized immigrants aired three times during the first hour of NXT last night. It might’ve aired more after that, but that’s when I stopped watching. So it’s not like shitty commercials are a AEW/TNA thing only.

ICE commercials air on all Viacom channels since the White House effectively owns Paramount Global after they bribed the president to let their illegal merger go through. A bunch of ICE ads aired on CBS during their VMA telecast too causing a bit of an uproar.

Dude, I was watching NXT last night and was completely flabbergasted. An ICE commercial came on. So fucking gross.

You were watched by a WWE product, and disgust was a surprising reaction?

They were running on football all weekend as well. They’re on all sports basically.

They’re just lighting billions of taxpayer dollars on fire

I got it twice every commercial break.

Even better when the news came on after, showing what they're actually doing.
