"That's so snowflake-ish" - Konnan criticizes Warner Bros. for banning Jay Briscoe tribute on Dynamite
Wrestling veteran Konnan has criticized Warner Bros. Discovery for not allowing AEW to host a tribute show for the late Jay Briscoe.
The Ring of Honor legend recently passed away after a car accident. Following the incident, the entire wrestling world mourned the death of the record ROH World Tag Team Champion.
Speaking on the K100 podcast, Konnan claimed that it was a snowflake-ish move from Warner Bros:
"Come on, the guy just passed away. How many people know what Jay Briscoe even said? It's not a mainstream thing, that's so snowflake-ish. The guy just passed away, you know what I'm saying? You can't give him a tribute?" said Konnan [6:30-6:49]
