Brody King On The First Time AEW Fans Chanted ‘F*ck ICE’: I Felt Like I Could Run Through A Wall At That Moment

Brody King reflects on the ‘f*ck ICE’ chants that have followed him in All Elite Wrestling.

Over the course of the past couple of months, Brody has been followed by f*ck ICE chants in AEW, beginning with a match he had with MJF prior to AEW Grand Slam Australia. King has made his anti-ICE stance very clear over the past year, and for King, he rides a wave of adrenaline thanks to the chants.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo in a new interview, Brody King spoke about the reaction he has received for his stance.

“Well, it’s funny, because, you know, I wore the Abolish ICE shirt at Arena Mexico, I mean, almost a year now. I think it was June of last year, and the Fuck ICE chants happened this year, right before Australia. So it like, got a lot of attention for the shirt, and then it, out of nowhere, kind of picked up more attention. I mean, obviously, you know, the state of things gets more boiled over. People are frustrated, and that’s going to come out in certain ways. I can’t think of a more positive way for it to come out than them chanting it at a wrestling show. You know what I mean?”

King also shared his first reaction to hearing the chants for the first time prior to his match with MJF.

“It took me off guard, but it also, like, I felt like I could run through a wall at that moment, and I feel like the way that MJF looked at that camera, he knew I was going to run through a wall as well.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, King noted his belief that his stance on ICE is not political but more about doing the right thing. You can read more about that here.
