Tony Khan turned Jinder face with one tweet 😂
Plot Twist: TK actually cares about the modern day maharaja. :")
Tony actually represents his company's fans pretty accurately
100%
100%. They banned me from the AEW reddit for literally saying "it's ok to criticize AEW. The same standards should apply across the board."
According to the admins, holding all promotions to the same standards is "WWE circle jerking"
@@TMPS93and WrestleInc (huge AEW fans) banned my comment about Kahn muting the CM Punk chants at that Chicago show
As a fan of AEW, TK’s behavior is just embarrassing. It makes it hard to be a fan.
@@TMPS93 You can't defeat incels and neckbeards.
Does Tony respect wrestlers? He's gone after Taker, Cena, HHH, HBK and now Jinder. Dudes that have dedicated their life to the business!! He's been in the business for 4 years, it's a bad look to go after these dudes who have been in the biz forever.
He showed that he doesn't with what he did to Punk. He fired Punk over hurt feelings (not fights as some people say because fights have always happened since wrestling started), he muted the Punk chants at that Chicago show, they never mentioned him and acted like he didn't exist after the suspension suspension and also covered up his face on that production truck, and didn't put him on the video game cover. He also doesn't respect wrestling itself, to treat a wrestling legend like that
He has the attitude of some Gen zs and Millenials .... "you're older..... therefore irrelevant"
Because he’s jealous he can hire past wrestlers but can’t re create
He is finished. How do you know this? When the USA Network burns you on Twitter, there is no coming back from that. He was ranting and the USA Network commented on his tweet and said, how was that cagematch rating.
At what point did he go after Taker or Cena?...
He's not even going after Jinder on this one hes talking about the stupid booking decision of giving him an arbitrary title match out of nowhere
I love how Dustin said "stop the tribalism". Dude your boss started it. Tell him to stop.
Acknowledge the Tribalism Chief, Tony Khan.
Tony Khan has become a joke. WWE lives rent free in his head
He a clown
You sound like a little insecure boy
Tony was ALWAYS a joke. He only has money because of hid dad, and he only has a wrestling company because his daddy bought it for him.
I disagree with Tommy. Whoever made the tweet on the USA Network account shouldn’t be fired for the tweet. There wasn’t anything wrong with it. Tony either needs to develop thicker skin or stay off of social media. He keeps falling for simple traps that anyone else with common sense knows to avoid.
BINGOOOOOO.
If the rating goes up for next week's Raw, then the USA Twitter guy actually deserves a pay rise.
Tommy clearly took too many chair shots to the head in ECW.
@@chesteradams7423 bro don't do that.
The issue is TK taking shots at another companies talent. Unprovoked at that. People aren’t upset he’s sticking up for his company. People find it in poor taste he tears down other wrestlers.
Idk why tommy don't understand this. This like triple h taking shots at jon moxley
Also funny how the typically really politically motiviated contingent of the AEW faithful that look at WWE's booking thru a racial lens always are quick to give the pass to Tony for crapping on possibly the key to cracking the elusive Indian market WWE has been salivating for for 25 years. Not to mention, Jinder is hot off the heels of a career best promo? Jesus, Tony.
@@ffvffv5709yeah... thats the best promo of his career... it was still a shit promo lol
He wasnt taking shots at talent he's talking about bad booking decisions and Since when is it an issue for wrestling companies to take shots at eachother?...
Kinda the standard forever, hell Bischoff read off the results of a pretaped wwf show live on air before the show aired... they have always done it, its just that the medium for the trash talking, sniping and undercutting has moved to social media.
@@ffvffv5709definitely a great promo, loved it!
A lot of people complain about the tribalism that goes on these days, rightfully so, but it can't go unnoticed that Tony Khan and AEW have been the ones from the very beginning to take shots at WWE. It's been happening since the company started, and continues to this day. They've created and stoked the fire of AEW vs WWE for 5 years. I don't know if Tony has a drug problem, mental health issues, or both, but this latest attack on WWE has me questioning his sanity. Dave is right, who the hell was complaining about Hook getting a shot in the first place? Online outrage? Makes Tony sound very paranoid, at the very least, or he just created it in his own head for whatever reason. The only time HHH ever said anything negative about AEW was when he referred to them as a "secondary promotion," and it's not like he was lying. For all the shots AEW has taken at WWE, at least one clapback was warranted, and it wasn't even that bad. Tony and the entire AEW roster should just shut the f?!p up about WWE, period. It's never done any good, and it's not helping business. I want AEW to exist, the business is much better off with multiple thriving wrestling companies. But Tony needs to put his phone down, and hand the keys of AEW off to somebody else. He's going to destroy it, and nobody wants that.
Oh ok let’s just forget the first person who took a shot right? Let me remind you, your papa HHH talked shit first so yea blame it on Tony. Just stick to watching your wrestling show that is catered to children and keep aew out of your mouth maybe is a solution for ya
it was natural because WWE was so low quality when AEW started that they needed to make a splash and shake the system
except the haters that want it to fail that is and if it does happen they be like oh no competition anymore we were wrong
Yeah, they were running their mouths off about how the company would put WWE out of business, before AEW was even a thing lol
Thumbs up, DON’T HINDER JINDER. THE REVOLUTION IS HERE!
Is it though
I like Jinder's Sher theme...
Almost as big as the yes movement
I don't get why people shit on Jinder. He's good at getting heat as a heal. He's a good wrestler. Maybe he needs some direction but I think he's pretty sick and given the right opportunity he'd make it work
I think he's a good talent.
as an AEW fan. who loves to see their success for this year... i say Tony Khan needs to have a PR team for Twitter. PLEASE TONY
The only person Tony Con Man helped with that brainless tweet was Jinder Mahal, who somehow went from being an afterthought heel into an underdog babyface that had the majority of the wrestling community rallying around him.
Oh yeah helped him so much.. watch for Jinder to end Romans streak ant mania now 🙄
WeeWee should give Jinder the belt for one week.
Jinder Mania 😂😂
Tommy was a little lost here, bully was right 100%
Nah Tommy understands. He's always been a Tony defender
I saw someone call Tony Khan the Tribalism Chief on Reddit and I hope that catches on because it's so true. Never seen anyone in wrestling with such thin skin and think of the ground that covers.
Tommy trying to defend Tony at every corner was so irritating. Bully was spot on 100%, there’s no excuse for the constant twitter tantrums when you’re the owner of a global wrestling company. Also, Jinders “RAW next Monday!” tweet now has me loving him more than I did already 💀
Tommy took too many chair shots to the head in ECW.
I think tommy is trying hard to be the opposition in this conversation 😂 He knows that there is no way you can defend tony with that tweet.
I need Frank Caliendo impersonating John Madden to tell Tony Khan to put the phone down
If WWE was still taping their shows, you know Tony would be on Twitter telling everyone the results like Biscoff.
Its tony schiovanne and it backfired
He would get Tony to repeat the "that would put butt on seat" line again and get embarrassed again
I can't take dreamer seriously because he defended Rick on the plane 🤣
AEW has officially become more embarrassing than the worst of TNA and Russo’s WCW.
Hell of an achievement 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wait until Samoa Joe puts Hook over and drops the belt. Impossible, you say? You think I'm crazy for writing it you say? Exactly, so when it happens……
@@iceteehehe754 wtf is hook?
@@iceteehehe754 not gunna happen pretty sure that tony khan is tryin to top everything off with Pockets as champ it will be the thing that finally kills any type of seriousness that company was able to maintain it will be as bad as David Arquette
Tony Khan has made more stars for WWE than he has for his own company.
Tony Khan shouldn't have disrespected Jinder. He busted his back and paid his dues to be in his spot
Tony Cokehead Khan was born to the right family
Jinder trending is hilarious. Tony taking a shot at him is like a lesser modern version of that infamous WCW moment where Eric got Tony Schiavone to announce that Mankind was winning the title
Tony is the biggest cokehead on twitter
Starts at 4:02
TK's Tweet 9:42
His tweets are more entertaining than his shows. This sums it up pretty much
Once again Positivity in AEW is overshadowed by negative press.
All this happened the same week Revolution passed the 15K in ticket sales, they are about to sign one of the top women’s wrestlers in the world, they are celebrating 5 years as a company, and WBD pretty much touted AEW as a ratings success. Tony could have ended this day soooo validated and silenced all the criticism he’s received. But instead everyone is talking about Jinder Mahal on the other show. TK can’t get out of his own way smh.
And he proves he watches RAW 😂😂😂
They don't deserve any respect, they fired Punk over hurt feelings (not fights as some people say because fights have always happened since wrestling started), and they muted the Punk chants at that Chicago show, they never mentioned him and acted like he didn't exist after his suspension and also covered up his face on that production truck, and didn't put him on the video game cover. They are girls who would rather show off that their feelings are hurt instead of being men and instead of showing respect to a wrestling legend like Punk. And they have no respect for wrestling itself, to treat a wrestling legend like they did. They're just a cringy joke now. The only way I'll maybe respect them again is if they apologize to the fans and to Punk for being girls, and do it publically. The apology must be as loud and as public as the disrespect..
They aren't really a rating success at all. A decline is not success.
@@zhougongjin2704punkie is a scumbag and did nothing for the brand. He burned a lot of his real fans with his stupid aggressive behavior both at and away from AEW.
@@zhougongjin2704Punk got what he deserved. You cant go around badmouthing the company you work for and starting fights with your coworkerd and not expect to get fired. Punk has a long history of starting fights backstage all the way back to ROH (even though we all know punk can't really fight) fuck some of you guys act like trump supporters with Punk.
He's a mediocre in ring talent with slightly above average mic skills and a massive ego.
TK gave Punk all the chances and opportunities and Punk still screwed it up but lets blame TK... the guy who was clearly the biggest Punk fan in the company because its never Punks fault.
They could have a billion viewers and I’d still think it was a shit parkour wrestling company
Tony was mad wwe tried talking to one of his talents while his mother was in hospital and he took offence to that saying it was contract tampering HOWEVER ric flair in a recent interview said tony khan was asking him to come to aew when he was still under contract to wwe so he basically did the same thing but he is fine with that
Yup.
Tony needs to put his phone away. He's hurting his own business by always trying to pick fights with WWE. Stay in your own lane and focus on your own shit.
I think the thing most Americans don't get about Jinder is that he is huge in India. WWE is smart to capitalize on that market.
Tony Khan is a dork
I read this wrong though Tony khan is doink
Always wondered who doink the clown was 😂
Everyone keeps saying that 'wrestling suffers' if AEW goes under, but I don't buy this. AEW and everything it stands for (Insider references, smark bait, mocking kayfabe, no selling gymnastics, bad comedy) are a black mark on wrestling. Yes there would be an issue of monopoly but I truly believe the wrestling ecosystem would be better without AEW in it. You don't have to support AEW from some guilt tripped idea that the industry needs them.
The wrestling ecosystem would be infinitely better without Tony running AEW.
I agree, I loved wrestling before and I’ll love it after AEW is gone. Their high watermark is Fall of 2021…they peaked! It’ll be over eventually, losing tv deal will be a huge hit. It mocks the business I love. I wanted an alternative but, their alternative was dogshit comedy wrestling.
The wrestlers are suffering by being in AEW. They seem to have more injuries and bad storylines than actual viewers!🤣
@@MoreThanWrestling exactly, I felt the same. Just because we wanted an alternative back in the day doesn’t mean we have to support THIS alternative. An alternative that actively makes wrestling worse by being there.
Right, for wrestling to suffer if AEW goes under, AEW would have to not be trash.
Tommy is embarrassing at this point. Why is he so up Tony’s ass?
I think he was trying to play devil's advocate.
Why is he on this podcast? He bores me to tears
Took too many chair shots to the head in ECW.
If anybody is still curious why AEW fans are so tribalistic and rude online, just go look at Tony Khan's tweets. He's so desperate to protect the false image he's created about AEW. Just cause he says "everything is great" at the press scrums doesn't mean it's true.
Bully looks like he has the best man cave down in a New York basement lol
Vince would NEVER mention the competition
Only time he did it was when he was losing. Which is exactly why Tony is doing it.
That would come from denial instead of integrity though, remembering it's Vince
He did do the Billionaire Ted skits. And organized the DX invasion on Nitro.
TV ratings aren't the best indicator nowadays, but to use that standard, WWE vs WCW was an actual competition by that standard.
tk just helped put Jinder over. Coming back, having a segment with the Rock and then a championship match with Seth and now catching the attention of a billionaire, i'm very happy for him.
As I said long time ago, AEW needs real mature peope at the top management, he doesnt need to respond every single tweet especially like Jinder lol, Jinder just prove how terrible TK is
That "where is the rage" part of Tony Khan's tweet is the worst part for me. He's calling for outrage. Yet he's the first to cry.
The guy who made excuses for Ric Flair literally sexually assaulting a flight attendant is making excuses for Tony Khan acting unprofessional. Shocking
I think it is more than evident that TK acts like a stressed out child. He has a lot to learn without everyone always kissing his a$$ before he has health issues.
Don't hinder Jinder
Dave & Bully are great together. They could be the new Odd Couple TV show or a stand up act.
I appreciate Tony Khan's passion to stick up for his company but he needs to get that passion and energy and put it into his shows let his creative and booking do the talking for you
"let his creative and booking do the talking for you"
LOl, his creative and booking are trash.
For me, If TK did what Bischoff did during Nitro and called out WWE on TV as an angle, Im great with that. But tweeting and not saying everything he said on twitter on tv, just makes him look less than Bischoff, Triple H,and VKM in my opinion.
I can’t wait to see the deflections and excuses that will be made for Tony Khan in this video.
Looks like it’s Tommy 😂😂
That just goes to show just because you're a billionaire doesn't mean you aren't a mark. He needs to stop worrying about what random people say online and focus on making his business better. Any criticism he gets before that is deserved.
One of the things I find interesting is that I listen to a lot of these wrestling podcasts and obviously there's some beef between a lot of different people on these shows. Everyone of them might have different takes good or bad about each other but they are all singing the same song when it comes to Tony and his SM fits. Tony should take that into account.
When are going to stop saying he is "acting like a mark" and just say that's who he is. Its not like he's an actual businessman who decided to get into wrestling. He's the son of a billionaire who is playing fantasy booker and always references dirtsheets, tweets, messageboard posts, reddit just like your average smark in New York or Chicago would. The guy's 40 and can't even dress himself or comb his hair and we are supposed to take him seriously as the leader of a major wrestling promotion?
Triple H was responding live to Billy Gunn who made the comment that Vince couldn’t fire him. Everybody is so easy on Tony in the media.
lol cant compare between the 2? Billy started a jab joke and HHH will look stupid if he will not crack on it, its between 2 friends, while Tony fanboy Khan is responding to strangers lol and he is an owner while HHH is not
Tony hasn't learned anything from the past, he has just done the same thing for the Seth, Jinder match that Eric did for the Foley championship match on Raw and what did it do for Eric.
Tommy is such a mark for tony and it shows.... as soon as i clicked the video i already knew tommy was gonna defend this garbage.
Probable cause and I know bully does to on a smaller scale Tommy works for TNA and they're trying to keep at least a civil relationship with Tony and aew but I could be wrong
first off Jinder mahal title shot i have no problem with after his first promo i can tell this is a different mahal then in the past. and he will be around for a long time unlike the rock that only comes around once in 5 years
I was one of the people on Twitter that doesn't see the point of Hook challenging Joe.
Tony... delete your account.
From tk comments what I see is that he is a wwe fan who just so happens to run his own promotion. For you to know what’s going on currently in wwe and care about it to the point he tweets about it. Then that tells me he follows the product.
I figured it out! The sudden Jinder push... Drew being mad at everyone... Slater's comtract with Impact expired in October... We're getting 3MB again!
Conan the Barbarian one of the best films of all time.
“Always the baby face” -Paul Heyman on Tommy Dreamer.
It's baffling how TK doesn't see anything wrong with any of his Twitter activity.
Who's that wearing the glasses? Is that Sally Jesse Raphael😂
Tommy has worked for AEW....his opinion on all of this reflects that.
I hope Tony hires Dreamer and pays him 25 million dollars a year for this defense he’s making.
Dave saying Tony needs to let someone else tweet for him made me bust out laughing 😂 tony is the same dude who wont let anyone help him book the shows and even if he did on the off chance let someone be in charge of his twitter, it still wouldnt work because the people tony surrounds himself with are yes men and people who dont wanna lose their gravy train.
The problem is that Tony himself decided to use his personal account and go out of his way to take shots at WWE. If you’re the head of a company like that, you can’t be doing that shit. You have to conduct yourself in a certain way and “turn the other cheek” if you will.
You look like my lesbian cousin lmao
You guys do a good job but all i can think about right now is I can't wait to listen to Jim Cornettes reaction to this 😂
It going to be great. Ding
I love this podcast and appreciate how quick you turn episodes around. I’m continuing to listen, but don’t lie to yourselves and the wrestling community and say you’re the biggest podcast. As long as Corny is around it will always be. A battle for 2nd
theres probably 10 if not 20 wrestlin podcast with more listeners.
@@terencecaron2922 yeah most likely. And they can’t touch Corny. None of em
AEW are always in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The gift that keeps on giving 😃
I'm sorry Tommy but they didn't say anything about the mom wtf xD
100% agree with Bully here. 👍🏻
11:26 i think Dave hit the point very early on, worry about your own promotion and continuing to grow the product
I think Tony needs some warm milk and cookies and nappy time
CONAN THE BARBARIAN is literally the greatest (in my subjective opinion) film of all time! You HAVE to see it!
By contrast Conan the Destroyer is a solid 3.5/10....same ballpark for Red Sonja
WEMBLEY was 72,000 per the city of London. "Some people say....." aka Tony Khan.
Tony went on so much about Jinder, I had to tweet at him "What are you, 5 years old?"
Just to clarify, it was Hercules in New York. They dubbed his voice, but thanks to 21st century technology, we actually hear Arnold talking in the movie
I love the work that jindar is doing right now by the way
He upped his mic skills.
I’m so confused why does it feel like Tommy Dreamer forgetting that AEW and Tony took shots at WWE first not the other way around!! AEW came out with the bad mouthing WWE!!
Probably all the chair shots to the head he took while in ECW.
The issue regarding Tony's mom in the hospital.... was Regal asking to leave and go back to wwe
sad no Thunder Rosa or Mark Henry ...
Bully was spot on here. Tony Khan was marking out a little bit for essentially no reason. It didn’t benefit him or his company at all by opening his mouth.
He’s a spoiled rich kid who lashes out. It’s pretty simple.
Tommy Dreamer tone of voice facial expressions never change once comes across like he's got literally 0 personalty
Both Tony Khan and the AEW fans do a great job of bringing their brand down. It sucks because AEW has many greats including the likes of Toni Storm and Edge.
Bully Rad Dudley is definitely one of (if not the) smartest minds to ever be involved with the industry.
"If AEW goes away the business dies"- Tommy CTE Dreamer 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
It's 2 things put down the coke first then the phone
Feel like everybody's missing the biggest point here. Tony Khan is supposed to have a reputation of being a booker for the boys, providing an alternative employer for guys who weren't satisfied with their treatment by the "Evil empire".
He literally went on Twitter and publicly shit on a seemingly well respected talent for booking that's completely out of his control, with zero provocation. That makes him look like absolute shit to plenty of talent he may eventually want to come work for him one day.
Cheers is the funniest show imo. Starts lil slow but the characters are top notch. So classic. Then fraiser oh man I love it 😅
before Tony posted those tweets, I honestly didnt even know Hook was still wrestling. I dont watch AEW at all, but I hear everybodys name being mentioned on different podcasts and on social media. I dont hear anybody talking about Hook. not saying nobody really is but it does seem like not many people care about him at this point.
Just in the last year Tony Kahn has called triple h a bald asshole, mocked undertaker and John cena for appearing on nxt and not drawing a million viewers, and now goes after jinder mahal. All while dynamite barely cracked 800,000 viewers, has a sexual misconduct “investigation” ongoing and their boss is becoming increasingly more erratic. Aews time is coming up. Jim cornette called this a year ago about Tony melting down
Why can't Bully Ray work right beside Tony and give his advice.
Cause after five minutes of being around Tony Bully would probably realise how much of a dumbass he is
Because Bully know he would strike Tony if he can't take Tony bs 😂😂😂
Since when does Tony listen to anyone but himself?
TONY KHAN NEEDS TO LEARN THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BAD DON'T DO SO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE TROLLS WILL FOLLOW YOU INCESSANTLY!!! ALSO YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT!!!
Tony is really something 🤣🤣🤣
The only issue I have about Hook getting a Championship match is if he wears them white boots! 🤣
Bully is right. Tony is proving that you can get to him, and so it's just going to get worse and worse.
Tony was talking about out William Regal asking for his release to work with his son in WWE. Not anything WWE did.
There are two types of stand-up comedians. The successful ones whose audience laugh with them and then there are the failures whose audience laugh AT them. This is akin to Lenny Bruce's "The Palladium" routine.
At the end of the day, Tony Kahn put Jinder Mahal over more than Hook. Hook looks like a guy that needs his dad and his boss to defend him, and Jinder and WWE look like they don't give a hot damn about AEW or Tony Kahn. Who the fuck is Hook?
As a fan of AEW… I’m so sick of Tony Khan and his unprofessional, weak, absent minded decision making. You guys nailed it. No wonder there’s so much drama backstage, it all trickles down from the “boss”…week after week I’m less interested in AEW as a whole
There is a reason you don't see as much drama in WWE, because WWE is full of adults while AEW is full of children.
Social media is the worst toxic place- TNA DIGITAL MEDIA CHAMPION TOMMY DREAMER 😂
Talking about imagining what would happen if this person had Twitter back in the day imagine what Billy Jack Haynes or Marty jannetty would have tweeted back in the day
