AEW is on TNT, and Turner Networks have a long history of playing A Christmas Story for 24 hours straight. AEW stars had to get in on the fun.

MJF played Ralphie in this Christmas Story reenactment, and The Salt Of The Earth was the perfect choice. He even put on a pink bunny outfit just like the character does in the classic Christmas film.

A press release from AEW was happy to announce that AEW will get commercial time between A Christmas Story beginning on December 24th for 24 hours.

TNT is bringing “A Christmas Story” into the ring as AEW’s wrestlers reenact iconic scenes from the beloved film. Beginning December 24, the scenes will air as interstitials during TNT and TBS’ 24-hour “A Christmas Story” marathon, as well as online at TNT.tv and TNT’s YouTube page.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
