Brendan and Brent Tate, pro-wrestlers known as"The Boys," joined the lawsuit, which accuses AEW president Tony Khan and announcer Ian Riccaboni of defamation.A pro-wrestling announcer is suing the country’s second-largest wrestling promotion, alleging that he was defamed as a QAnon-supporter by a fellow announcer and that the accusation led him to lose his job.
“I think it’s abhorrent that professional wrestlers who have every aspect of their job controlled by a corporation are called independent contractors, as if they have any say whatsoever in anything that they do,” said Stephen New, a West Virginia attorney who filed the lawsuit in Philadelphia on behalf of the announcer and two wrestlers.
His relationship with his colleagues and the company turned sour quickly after Kelly recommended the movie Sound of Freedom, aA month after Kelly’s post, Riccaboni, of Allentown, posted on social media that he “had no idea was going to promote QAnon movies.Kelly attempted to reach out to Riccaboni to explain that he does not support QAnon, according to the lawsuit, but didn’t get a response.
Kelly hasn’t worked as a pro-wrestling announcer since because of a noncompete clause in his contract with AEW, his lawyer said. The details of the contract are redacted in the complaint.Joining Kelly in the lawsuit are the wrestling duo who are known as “The Boys.” The Tate brothers allege that they suffered defamation by the president of AEW.
