Wrestling Sue for a mature audience.

0:05.0

I don't available.

0:10.0

Wrestling Sue, I am Anthony Thomas. He is Joseph E. Numbers.

0:14.4

Yo. So what's going on with Phoenix there? One of the greatest luchadors alive, apparently.

0:22.7

That's what I've heard from many people. So he deleted his tweet.

0:24.5

He had a tweet about the inhumane treatment that he receives in AEW.

0:30.7

He got a lot of buzz, a lot of flashback.

0:35.0

And no one stays in a place where they received inhumane treatment. He also said that he needed a

1:37.0

and they're like, did you fill out all these forms? And he's like, I can't fill out those forms

1:41.2

because I don't understand them. They're in a different language. He's like, that's a shame. I guess we don't have to pay. Oh, that sucks. Well, no, I mean,

1:52.2

it is kind of funny to me, like his usage of the word inhumane, where people took that and ran

1:58.5
