Kevin Kelly, announcer since the launch of AEW Collision last summer, has been fired. - Lemmy.zip

For those who don’t want to click. KK had been hired on by AEW on the recommendation of Ian Riccaboni. Ian had been the original commentary choice but he didn’t want to go on the road full time. He recommended Kevin to TK and he was subsequently hired on. Kevin is also known (aside from his horrible ‘destino’ calls on commentary) for posting on social media many things that are controversial (e.g. Q anon conspiracy shit, anti-vax garbage and shitty political takes), which (very tldr’d) Ian commented about online on social media/web forums describing KK’s views, and KK later complained online that Ian’s posts got him sidelined as a secondary commentator instead of the lead, and stated Ian ‘libeled’ him and that he was considering suing. As of late yesterday afternoon Kevin Kelly was removed from AEW’s profiles (a not-uncommon event) but it was confirmed this morning that his employment had been terminated. tl;dr’ing the tl;dr - trash took itself out.
