TBS/TNT Marathon "A Christmas Story" Gets Some AEW in Its Stocking
With TNT and TBS' 24-hour A Christmas Story marathon kicking off its run this Christmas Eve, AEW fans were given their first look at the wrestling organization's take on some of the more iconic scenes from the holiday classic- set to air throughout the holiday tradition. 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.
Now, we have a look at the official trailer for the unique event (that we wouldn't mind watching as an actual movie, if we're being honest):
But that's just the trailer- for a look at MJF and Jericho re-enacting the famous "Mall Santa" scene, check out the clip below:
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.
