AEW Star Calls on Fans to Support the Indies Amid Coronavirus Cancellations

AEW star Evil Uno of The Dark Order took to Twitter this week and called on fans to support the the independents as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the world of pro wrestling.

As noted earlier at this link, AEW announced their first schedule changes due to the COVID-19 outbreak on Thursday. Uno called on fans to keep supporting the indies, but also remember to put safety first.

“In the wake of all these cancellations… Support the independants,” Uno wrote. “Be it wrestling, music, etc. Buy their merch, support them through Patreon, share their stuff. The gig economy is going to [take] a HUGE hit and many don’t have the safety net necessary to survive this. Oh, and stay home & self quarantine if you’re sick. No show, booking or push is worth getting others sick. You don’t want to face the guilt of giving COVID-19 to someone who doesn’t have the immune system necessary to beat it. Evil Uno cares about your well being.”

The Dark Order is set to reveal their leader, The Exalted One, on next week’s Dynamite show. As noted at the link above, AEW has moved Wednesday’s Dynamite from Rochester, NY to Jacksonville, FL due to New York State restrictions on gatherings due to the virus.
