AEW Star Discusses Working Around Tony Khan’s Banned List

AEW

Following the recent news circulating regarding AEW’s banned moves list, a popular talent has revealed a time that he asked Tony Khan’s permission to use an interesting term on TV.

Speaking on his Daddy Magic Show podcast, Matt Menard revealed how he’s attempted to work around the AEW CEO’s restrictions in the past, being unsure if he could say the word ‘pervert’ on TV.

This wasn’t his only experience with the banned term list as he once found a unique barb that somehow avoided violating any rules.

Menard recalled:

“I remember another time, ‘suck my ass’, I wanted to get on TV. I actually got it on.

“That was a struggle because we have a list of stuff that we’re not supposed to say.

“I remember this right to Tony (Khan), ‘Suck my ass, is that okay?’

“So they’re going through the list, and it’s not on the list. ‘Suck my ass’, not on the list. I guess you can say it.

“So I said it. This is like early January 2022. I remember we were in New Jersey, in the Street Fight, me, Jeff, Garcia against (Santana and Ortiz) and Eddie Kingston.

“Go back and watch that – the Mark Henry, ‘It’s time for the main event’ promo – I say, ‘Suck my ass.’ I remember saying it, and CM Punk walking by, and he was just dying.

“He’s like, ‘Did you just say suck my ass?’ You’re damn right I did.”

While AEW talents will no doubt be glad to know one extra insult they can add to their promo vocabulary, there are now seemingly plenty of changes as far as what talent can do inside the ring.
