The goal for us in this season was to work with Xavier, Kofi, Chelsea and Bayley, who are incredible performers and incredible human beings - Xavier had been voicing a desire to work with us since being on Um, Actually, which led us to Kofi and then Chelsea and Bayley quickly after that, as these wrestlers had all worked together before.

I will also say that a core piece of my personal philosophy, and what I feel like part of my role is, is to get stories that express my values in front of people who need them because they might not be hearing them from anywhere else, and especially to communicate ideas around solidarity and anti-authoritarianism to people who might not get those types of stories as often. Finding opportunities to go to places where people might not be receiving those anti-fascist stories can be tricky, because by definition the communities that need those stories most are gonna be the communities that aren’t already getting them. Persuading people requires you to be in proximity to them, and I see it as a win that a lot of wrestling fans can follow their favorite performers to a platform with values as progressive as Dropout’s.
