With the inclusion of names from the past like Tony Schiavone and Jim Ross on the premiere edition of AEW Dynamite, we expected some nostalgia. However, there was a reference to one name from the past we didn’t expect to see on Tuesday night.

A large “I Miss Kimbo Slice” sign in the crowd got the wrestling audience going on Twitter during AEW Dynamite.

I think Kimbo’s mom is in the audience and he should really call her.
Shout out to the guy in the crowd with the I Miss Kimbo Slice sign #AEWDynamite

Slice became an internet phenomenon in the early 2000s when videos of him fighting spread across the world wide web. He eventually parlayed that into a short career in MMA and boxing. Sadly, Kimbo passed away in 2016.
