AEW Channels Inner-Ralphie for TNT/TBS "A Christmas Story" Marathon

The fans voted online and now the results are in. When TNT and TBS' 24-hour A Christmas Story marathon kicks off its run on Thursday, December 24, it does so with a stable of some of AEW Wrestling's best ready to offer their take on some of the more iconic scenes from the holiday classic.

With narration and stage direction read by AEW announcers Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone, the stars set to shine include MJF as Ralphie; Cody and Brandi Rhodes as Mr. and Mrs. Parker; Chris Jericho as Santa Claus; Eddie Kingston as Schwartz; Scorpio Sky as Randy; Ortiz as Flick; Dr. Britt Baker as Miss Shields; Ricky Starks as Farkus; Allie as Dill; Frankie Kazarian as the Elf; and Luchasaurus as the Freight Man.

Airing as interstitials during the December 24-25 marathon as well as online at TNT.tv and TNT's YouTube page, the scenes that are ripe for re-enacting include Ralphie's cringe-worthy Santa Claus visit, the pink bunny suit bit and the unforgettable 'Triple Dog Dare You" and leg lamp moments. Even better? All of the holiday festivities aren't just for everyone to have some fun with but they're also for a good cause.

Starting on Wednesday, December 23 (the same day AEW Dynamite airs its special "Holiday Bash" episode, at 10 pm ET/7 pm PT- after TNT's NBC game), fans can head on over to AEWCares.com to donate to KultureCity– the nation's leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility for those with autism, PTSD, anxiety, and other sensory ailments.
