TNT famously shows “A Christmas Story” for 24 hours straight during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and All Elite Wrestling is getting into the fun.
“AEW’s wrestlers reenact iconic scenes from the beloved film,” the promotion announced. “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. Fans voted online to help re-create the cast.”
Here’s the full cast for AEW’s “A Christmas Story” reenaction:
- 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
- Luchasaurus as the Freight Man
- Narration and stage direction read by AEW announcers Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone
AEW promises that several signature moments will be recreated including: “Ralphie’s cringe-worthy Santa Claus visit, the pink bunny suit bit and the unforgettable “Triple Dog Dare You” and leg lamp moments.” The promotion is also seeking to raise donations to KultureCity for those with autism, PTSD, anxiety and other sensory ailments through its AEWCares website.
