If only they could get rid of CM Punk, all the locker room turmoil will be solved!
😂
AEW fans are like the police chief who thinks he’s caught the killer despite the top cop arguing they haven’t. Then, at the climax of the movie the cop critical of the top cop the whole movie, shoots the police chief in the back. Only then does he get it.
I read pretty much that exact comment a few days ago on a blog I lurk at (but don't post as I don't have a Disqus account): _"The cancer has been gone for 6 months & everyone in AEW knows it. The company put on one of the great shows in history on Sunday. No AEW fan cares or thinks about Phil anymore."_
Problem is he's rent free in the minds of the talent. Cancer is everywhere you see.
@@UncomfortableShoesThe AEW fans are alike Chief Wiggins from the Simpson s 1:28
I thought Punk being gone fixed all the issues that AEW had
Right?
Turns out there are more tumours
the Black Cloud leaving; but more stuff keeps on popping up. a IRL game of Whack-A-Mole.
Fire the EVPs, stop trying to be a friend & act like a promoter... And most importantly, fire the yardtards & hbe actual pro wrestling on a supposed pro wrestling show...
@@brysoncherry9884the real tumors were the friends they made along the way!
Seriously, though... when the company has the same problems before, during, and after one particular guy's tenure, maybe, juuust maybe he wasn't the cause? Maybe the cancer was coming from inside the house?
It took bad press to force them to get rid of one trick ponies like Jimmy Havoc and Joey Ryan. They have/had a whole host of industry veterans that most of those jokers didn't want to take advice from. So many people have come in to the company with a big debut just to quickly become either "another guy" or completely missing in action in short order. Folks were ready to bite Jim Ross' head off for accidentally calling Dynamite "RAW" once. Oh, hey: once again, _how_ _many_ _times_ have AEW used Colt Cabana on TV both before and after the supposed cause if all the company woes was there?? It's almost like they weren't really using him on television at all regardless if Phil was there or not.
He wasn’t the problem it’s Kenny young bucks and all their AFW buddies
Its odd how Alvarez has been saying stuff Cornette has for years, and for some reason , people are acting like its a revolutionary discovery
Alvarez is a student of Nick Plain''s father. Their podcasts spent hours putting Buddy Wayne over. Not meant as disrespectful to his father, but with all the other talent signed, this kid leapfrogged them and him and his mom got a top spot. Why?
It's people that haven't listened to Jim talk about it. It's not that crazy.
@@user-tp6rd4qt3hI don't think that's his real mom, for the record.
@@onbored9627 when Jim says it the fans lose their minds and use the meme catchphrase of "bad faith" or make him out as a rabble rouser. But it's fine when Alvarez says it
@@natebaxter9551 That is absolutely his mom, & a 3 second Google search would have cleared that up for you.
Didn't WCW have the same issue where a lot of wrestlers showed up for Nitro not knowing if they were working? History really does repeat itself.
You have 3 guys that are bench warmers, anymore and its a waste.
Shit. I wonder if some matches are being rewritten in gorill.
In recaps of wcw they always talk about how crazy the locker room was.
At least Vince kept everyone in line.
New Jack said the beginning of the end for ECW is when they'd come to the arena and Paul E. would be sitting there thinking up that nights show still.
This happened in WWE recently too, when McMahon was tearing up scripts and rewriting everything hours before the show.
But those days seem to be over.
If only Bryan Alvarez was as critical of AEW as he was of TNA back in the day
AEW makes old school TNA look like New York in 87
MINUS FIVE STARS
They weren't embraced by TNA. That's why. Imagine claiming to be a journalist and failing to show objectivity when you are courted, just once. Imagine how easily corrupted they would be if they had to actually report on something that actually matters? I'm really not trying to be hyperbolic but Brian and Dave are an absolute disgrace to the profession they tenuously claim to be a part of.
@paulmallon9292 exactly. The wrestling observer has always been looked down upon by wrestling bookers, and promotions for all its history. Finally a money mark comes in and embraces them. Meltzer being in bed with the bucks before AEW is just icing on this fruit cake.
Yeah i actually used to enjoy some of Alvarez's old TNA rants. He hated Russo-era crap almost as much as Corny did
I am convinced Tony has some sort of social issue where he pays for all of his friends instead of having genuine friendships. That is why he lets all these people get away with everything
I definitely want to be his best best best friend
He reminds me of Sam Bankman-Fried, both act like they're on the autism spectrum. That would explain a lot of Tony's issues. Tony doesn't come across as a professional businessman like his father does. Shad's presence commands respect, Tony, not so much.
Because no one is willing to be his friend since he is a child and possibly got bully and now he need to pay to have friends
Typical rich boy, that's probably why Tony is so socially awkward (and I say this as someone who is also socially awkward af, but Tony makes me look like Sean Connery in his prime lol) why develop a likeable personality or social skills when you can just buy your friends?
That said, if you ever need any more friends, Tony, I'm available. 😉
@@SpinosaurusTheProudSocialist "Tony makes me look like Sean Connery in his prime lol" GREAT LINE :D
Tony revealing that Darby vs Jay White match to the media before telling Darby and then Darby having to ask him twice during the scrum "what match?" says it all 😂
Bruh...you watched a media "scrum" featuring Tony Khan & Darby pipsqueak 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When it comes to reporting backstage drama in AEW, Jim Cornette and Brian Last are Google Chrome and Bryan Alvarez is Internet Explorer.
So who’s Mozilla Firefox? Sean Ross Sapp?
????? Jim isnt a journalist
@@megatinmand5524 neither are Alvarez and Meltzer at this point tbh
@@megatinmand5524You don't have to be a journalist to spread the news. Town criers did it originally. Who the heck brainwashed you. The term journalist is just a gatekeeper of news.
"Oh look at me!!! I have a piece of paper that says I'm smarter than you at reading off a piece of paper!!!" 🤣
Brave*
Im proud of this episode, because I was the one who poked Dave by mentioning Tony's money source. He quote tweeted me and unleashed his hoard of weirdos. It was a weird day.
Sounds like u almost got doxxed by the despicable neck beards. Stay safe sir..
hoard of weirdos 😂
A lot of you guys are weirdos too
All you have to do is go be physical with your partner,, It will void out their opinions/thought process...
@@chuckles9767haha never change, man. One friend ask me "Are your friends going to the women's day march?" I told her that my friends were not stupid and would not waste their free day with idiotic people. She does not talk with me anymore.
Brian Last said the five most dreaded words in wrestling.... "Call it in the ring"..... like they did for decades.
Bryan Alvarez puts Krispy Kreme to shame with the amount of glazing he does
And he’s still not as bad as Dave
@@epicdepartment1956 Alvarez at least has charisma.
😂😂😂😂
@@Kratosx23lmfao
Aww man… that’s such an insult to Krispy Kreme
Brian Last is spot on. Tony is the main problem. You have a boss that can’t be a boss. He’s a mark. He’s a friend.
These wrestlers know they can walk all over him and they do because Tony is soft.
That goes for any job, anywhere
No fucking shit. They've been saying that for the last few years.
Ha.
Facts.
My friends. You will remember this day as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Cornette.
Mate, if you choose to lock your heart away, you'll lose her for certain. Laaaazy booking.
"Give me your tears gypsy."
Captain Jim Sparrow?
My heart is unloc'd, but I'm a'feared that I've already lost her forever.
Adam ant ftw
AEW isn’t even WCW 2000. They’re the UWF and TK is Herb Abrams
Ouch 😂😂
TK also looks like he smokes lots of herbs and other stuff
Tony Abrams Jr would actually be like the most fitting nickname
TK should be flying ALL his talent in to be the audience. The house would look a lot fuller
He's well on his way to having more people on his roster than in the audience for the TV tapings.
And the days of that statement still being a ridiculous exaggeration are getting fewer and fewer, too. It's just sad.
I know Jim and Eric Bischoff don't get along the best, but I would LOVE to hear a show just listening to Jim & Eric discuss AEW and Tony Kahn. I think thery could find plenty of common ground there.
You know at some point Jim would have to use the Ole line: "you know Bishoff I used to think you were a dumb fuck but so many people worse than you have come along since that you moved up the ladder without really doing anything!"
They do have common ground with regards to Vince "Sh!tstain" Russo.
I’d like to see a show with Jim and Eric talking about how they would “save AEW”
They actually have a lot of common ground in terms of philosophy, as well as their opinions on AEW and Russo.
I like to see a Royal Rumble where Russo and Cornette are the last two in the ring.
Jesus Christ AEW jumped right to WCW in 2000 stage already . I can’t WAIT tell they hire Russo
😂
The September 25, 2000 episode of Nitro is a brilliant masterpiece that AEW can only dream of touching.
@@paulmolive1821 I’d pay good money to listen to James E review late 99 to close WCW .
They'll never hire Russo because he didn't push the Inc3st Twinks to the moon in TNA 😂
At least it'll be watchable then
Jericho must not be getting his way with all the Bryan Alvarez whines about AEW stories there have been lately.
I highly doubt Jericho cares. He's 54 and making roughly 3 Mill a year.
In my old E-Fed... NOBODY complained the day of the show. They just cut their promos leading up to, and coming out of the shows. Smmfh.
Same, and I "worked" in front of bigger crowds back then.
Tony Khan: I won't make the same mistakes WCW made.
Wasn't WCW having booking plans change on the last second, and no one knowing what they would be doing when showing up to Nitro or Thunder, similar to how Tony is running his show?
WCW's problem from the get go was that network execs were trying to run it & didn't know a damn thing about wrestling...
@@QCS_AdamCole true, but there were things the company itself didn't do right. Even Bischoff has admitted, as much as the execs at Turner didn't want wrestling on their network, he did a few things wrong that he should have done differently. It's why I can respect Bischoff's opinions on wrestling as much as I like Cornette; Bischoff can admit when he was wrong and made mistakes.
Someday an AEW documentary about this whole thing will be done. 🎉
AEW: NDA
It will be a WWE production too
@@spencerwebb3216It won't
The rise & fall of AEW is gonna be a good watch when it's on the Network
That’s the only time AEW will be on Netflix
I thought AEW locker room morale was "as good as it's been in a long time"?
“It’s great.” - Tony Khan
Tony Khan has to learn to say that if “it doesn’t work for you brother” , “you no longer work for me brother”
Brian Last has been saying it for a long time, and he's spot on - this is all on TK. Everything.
It's says a lot when even Alvarez, who's been a loyal lapdog like Meltzer, is starting to openly criticise AEW.
You can see the sadness is Bryan’s eyes because he realizes punk wasn’t the problem. And due to the buckaroos arrogance, cost them their one chance to compete to be successful.
I’m willing to bet Bryan called Punk and punk hold him, “let me go I don’t want to be here.”
@@UncomfortableShoes agreed, Bryan did him a solid, they're old friends
After the abysmal ratings this past weeks Dynamite got (650K for Osprey) what have they got going for them? AEW fans make you think Frank Sinatra is coming to sing, but it’s actually the local karaoke singer from the bar.
To sum it up, the talent coming in are only known locally rather than globally.
I’m not even trying to hate on these guys but i have been a Wrestling fan for quite some time & i’ve never heard of either Ospreay nor Okada prior to arriving in AEW, once again i’m not trying to hate on them but I honestly had no clue.
Today I still saw a “AEW is going amazing, Wembley 81k!” type of comment. I had to laugh. AEW are the dance band on the titanic still playing as it sinks.
@@Ghost-Face420from 2013 to 2020 Okada was probably the best wrestler in the world and had classic matches against everyone he faced. You could make an argument that Oespray is the best wrestler in the world today.
@@johngallagher72 maybe in ring the best but overall not look at the ratings
holy shit 650k nxt gets better what the hell going on in aew
Khanye wasting all this money instead of listening to Jim, is like the old saying: you can lead Aubrey Edwards to water, but you can’t make her drink
Or horse (face) about during stare downs
Khanye is wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
tiny Cuckhan gets her to gallop to his office as soon as he arrives to clomp his meds with his / her hooves…
Then it’s SSSSSNIFFFFFF time…no blinking…no sleeping…no looking normal
Khanye Waste
@@Scott-bh2qbi like that
AEW has Timeless Toni Storm and Spineless Tony Khan
But I thought that now Punk was gone, AEW would return to a time of peace and prosperity?
Bruce Banner: That's our secret captain. We were always angry.
Seems like once punk got fired he returned to a time of peace and prosperity, he's probably down at the pc right now having a great time
It’s almost as if Tony was never fit to be a booker or promoter.
For better or for worse Ted Turner knew he shouldn’t be running the day to day operations of WCW despite his love for wrestling !!!
The only problem with that is he put ppl in charge of running it that were just as clueless and hated wrestling to boot
I'm trying to imagine Vince McMahon telling a wrestler which spots they need to do and a finish, then a wrestler telling him no.
They wouldn't dare, cause Vince promised would smack the fk out them, then fire them after.
Why does Alvarez sound like he's broadcasting from a Burger King Drive-Thru?
It’s just a recording of it, or through Brian’s phone or something. His audio is high level online
if not, a Dairy Queen (there was a Jim Cornette story, where he was on the road, with a bunch of pro wrestlers and wrestling personalities: Jimmy Del Rey, The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm), J.R. Benson, and Ron Hed). - czcams.com/video/WngpAHJNDhQ/video.html - The Jim Cornette Dairy Queen Incident (6:38) - by: Dan the Movie Man on Jun 10, 2014; After a Smoky Mountain Wrestling show in 1994, 6 Hungry Men Jimmy Del Rey, Jim Cornette, The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm), J.R. Benson, and Ron Hed set out on a journey for food reaching there destination.....Dairy Queen. They order food and wait in line for 20 minutes to learn that the workers have not fixed there food yet because they thought it was a rib and Corny goes off.

@@kshinokevinit is on youtube.
audio editing by cornettes editor to avoid copyright claim?
It's been obvious for years this has been going on. Most of the dirtsheets have been blatantly shilling for AEW and have undoubtedly helped keep a lid on negative stories from there. It's rare when someone does let it slip like Alvarez did here.
I always love when Harley makes an appearance in the artwork 🤣
Bryan Alvarez is so much easier to listen to when Dave Meltzer isn't around to interrupt him every other sentence with some asinine, stuttering sentence fragment.
Say what you will about Vince McMahon, there was no doubt about who the fucking boss was in WWF/WWE.
I thought CM Punk was the cause of any & all AEW backstage drama?
Of course! That's why everything is _great_ now. _Spectacular. Tremendous._
Oh look, a squirrel...
I thought Jim was super fair on this one. Tony is to blame for a ton but the boys are to blame some too. Great take.
I'm still dead over Tony announcing Darby's next match to the public before telling Darby. This just an hour after Darby turned his back into a pizza.
I’m actually shocked dudes backstage haven’t wanted out yet . I’m counting the days till ricky comes to wwe, ever since he said he has nobody to talk to backstage
Mike Santana just left AEW because he wasn’t happy about the way he was being used, he won’t be the last.
When did he say he has nobody to talk to? When was this?
@@antoniusjohnson3824 Who dafuq is Mike Santana?
He's Tito's heel 2nd cousin.
@@antoniusjohnson3824 yes but he’s not really a known wrestler
It is funny how absolute garbage the sound quality is on the Meltzer and Alvarez "Baghdad Bob AEW PR Show"
Wally, what exactly do you mean by "Baghdad Bob"?
@@deejayguppy6087 "Baghdad y" was the nickname for Saddam's Minister of Foreign Affairs. During the first few weeks of the invasion in 2003 he would make frequent appearances on US television news programs and make outlandish claims about how the coalition forces were being destroyed while the news had picture in picture clips of US troops bulldozing Saddam statues.
@@WallyHays Ah. Cool, Wally. Thx.
Jim knows about fighting for control with talent.
In Headbanger Moshs interview he said The Gangstas were refusing to put him and Thrasher over during their first weeks because New Jack was about to leave Smoky Mountain and New Jack said "what if i quit?" To Jim at a show And Jim cussed them out. And told them to leave the show.
Well let's be honest the head bangers shoulda never been goin over anyways ! So NEW JACK was right for calling it out anyways
I wonder how long aew is gonna last considering all the turmoil going on lately
They will last a long time because of the money from TK
Aew will last as long as Tony wants, he doesn’t need money or care about his money. It’ll definitely downgrade in terms of network stations and stuff though lol, I can already see the day when tna pulls more ratings
who knows? its odd they don't have any domestic deals sewn up by now
2029. I've been calling this for a long time
As long as Tony’s dad keeps topping off the pre paid.
The cadence and constant stops (and You knows) sounds like its Meltzer speaking with an AI voice changer
“The days of long-term booking are gone.”
Can something be gone that never existed in the first place?
I love how Cornette gives his insight and background info on problems, cant get that anywhere else.
IT'S NOT MY JOB!
-Lyin' Alvarez
Ha.
Tony "chasing the hug" khan
😅
Whatever about Vince, but he would have turned the CM punk backstage politics into money. At least prime 90s Vince.
Vince TODAY would've found a way to turn the shoot into a work & make some money with it
Same guy turned Matt Hardy vs Edge into an angle and drew money. He was smart with that stuff.
Triple H sort of doing it. The first step of Seth vs Punk was done before Punk injuries
No
Vince booked a million chitty angles.
Vince had Triple Lame bang a corpse in a coffin at a funeral home on live TV.
Vince sucks
Imagine a Storyline between The Elite, Jack Perry and Punk. That would’ve eclipsed Punk and MJF storyline. But foolish Tony Con can’t process that
Jim Cornette for WWE hall of fame
As much as it would be deserved, I can't see that happening until Corny is either done podcasting, or until he passes away. I feel like he'd have to sign a "legends deal" to go in, which would mean he couldn't give an honest take on WWE's programming, so once he's done doing podcasting, where his honest opinion on anything WWE does that he'd find terrible wouldn't be as public, then he'd probably get approached by them to be inducted.
That said though, his acceptance speech would be epic.😁
Everyone is FINALLY seeing what Corny has been saying for frigging years!!
Can you imagine what sort of process it must be to be in a conversation with Tony Khan and listening to him laying out plans 🙄
The days of long term booking were done after the Punk vs MJF feud in AEW.
So, Cornette and Brian were right all along on the state of AEW, Alverez is starting to admit it and Metlzers just having a breakdown over it.
Slowly but surely, Alvarez is coming around to see the issues with AEW that have been apparent since day one.
Goes to show punk wasn't the issue, he just had the balls to voice the issues and say, this is bulls*it
If hes worried about leaks that goddamn bad, tell each wrestler a different plan and when the leak happens, you know which wrestler leaked
I think it’s pretty obvious (based on history) that the guys who are leaking, are the ones who are closest to him.
Meltzer is known for sayin "you know" every 2 seconds. Now Alvarez is sayin "you know" every 5 seconds. And i hear Jim sayin it for a couple of times in this video! This shit is contagious
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez wrestling outlets you can’t trust
So...AEW has existed for what, 5 years now? how many stars have they made? 1? just MJF? in 5 years between 2004 and 2009 TNA has made guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Motor City Machine Guns, Beer Money, Inc. Awesome Kong and has rejuvenated careers of many veteran wrestlers like Gail Kim, Rhino, Raven, Sting, Christian, Kurt Angle, The Dudleys, etc...
How many NEW stars have WWE made in the last 5 years?
Gunther, damian priest, becky lynch, bianca belair, rhea ripley, sami zayn, drew mcintyre, cody rhodes, jey uso, should i continue?
@@adrianstipanec7846 Some of those people were around considerably before 5 years ago?
But, how many of them would the average person have heard of?
Lol Goalposting I see 😂🤣
@@danielburger1775 being around and being a star are two different things. they have all become stars in the last five years
Alvarez and Dave said Stings last match was awesome. Those 2 are idiots
Tony's fantasy was to be the booker... This is where the problem lays.... If I have billions and start a promotion I'd hire a consultancy firm to come up with an operating model for a modern day promotion, then recruit the best available people to help me run it while I focus on TV deals, commercial revenue and ticket sales... It's not rocket science Tony...
I'd love to show up to work and tell the owner of the company what tasks I do and don't wanna do every week.
The "days of longterm booking"? Is he talking about when they did some crap on "Dynamite" for two weeks, never did anything with it again for over a year, then suddenly tried to do "meaningful" callbacks to it out of nowhere? That "longterm booking"?
Tony needs to have a meeting with all talent, tell them they have to do whatever he writes. First person that says they won't, he fires. Problem solved.
THATS NOT MAH JAAAAAHB!!!!
Sometimes I wonder if aew would be worse or better if guys didn’t say no to Tony or if Tony had the balls to say no to guys like Jericho.
“But we have Wembley” 🤣
But he is getting Mercedes Mona... That's a game changer. 😝
I got halfway through this and realized I hadn't registered a single word of it, I was too caught up starting and laughing at the artwork. Heckell is a gd national fricken treasure.
LMAO here we go i take bryan Alvarez more serious than i do dave meltzer especially after the whole CM punk wwe return rumors prior to survivor series.
The first thing I thought about, "It's not his JOB!!!"
@@williammitchell4417 lol
Tony aint a leader. When Punk/Elite issues happened he had to create a new show instead of putting on his big boy pants amd telling them to either kiss and make up, or put personal bs to the side amd make me some money
I'd choose being waterboarded over listening to Alverez's voice
Who’s telling Alvarez all of this? answer Chris Jericho, the bucks, everyone by now
If only someone said this in year one 😉
I wish I could be as smart as Brian Last.
The more I think about it the more AEW resembles team foxcatcher with TK being John du Pont. I wonder how long it takes before Tony shoots Bryan Danielson.
This a shame when you live in an age where everyone has a smartphone, iPhone or Android, and there’s also FaceTime and Skype. This is just nonsense when you have no idea what you’re doing the day of the show. And again Vince McMahon was doing everything wrong but, everyone knew what they were doing on Raw and SmackDown weather it was good crazy or bad crazy.
I went from taping dynamite and watching it to fast forwarding whole show. I went from paying 50 bucks for an Aew ppw, to not ordering those at all.
Same
The problem is talent thinks they are all the next Shawn Michaels and the Kliq, and that they can tell the Tony what they will and will not do. And if Tony puts his foot down, he is afraid the wrestlers wont be his "friends" anymore.
The best part about AEW is Jim’s reviews.
Aew is going to last as long as shad bankroll aew which is the same thing people been saying since Day 1
20 years from now I hope I'm alive for the Vinny mack and aew documentaries
I thought they were there to have fun and put on some Meltzer classics lol you mean people actually need structure from a boss and not hugs from a mark
tony looks awesome in the Major-General Stanley uniform from Pirates of Penzance.
I'm dying laughing trying to figure out what this thumbnail is all about
Get a paycheck and do nothing? I dont mind
Remember back when everyone hated Vince for managing the script so closely and changing stuff during the show? It was kind of just expected a big national show would have stuff together and know what was going on before it happened.
"Doesn't work for me brother"
Corny saw this shit coming when he first talked to Tony Khan.
Current AEW sounds exactly like Vinces WWE.
I like how the thumbnail is from The Pirates of the Caribbean 😂😂
This is aaaaall CM Punks fault! They should fire him because he always cause drama backstage
Seeing Punk show up in WWE in front of full arenas must seem like salt in the wounds of AEW workers who have seen their attendance numbers evaporate.
He got injured.
And? Whats your point
Hogan, Flair, Hart, Sammartino etc were rehearsing, consulting and giving imputs into their character and matches decades before 'the modern style' of wrestling (Young Bucks et al) became popular.
Actually some fans are starting to say lately, they feel bad for Bryan Alvarez when he needs to deal with Meltzer lately. Especially when Meltzer breaks down the whole NJPW G1 tournament
Remember when everyone complained about Vince changing things last minute
9:30 Jim calls out the this is cinema people I can’t stand when fans say that
That Tony doesn't trust his wrestlers to keep a booking secret for a few days means he doesn't trust his wrestlers, if he doesn't trust his wrestlers THAN MAYBE YOU SHOULD FUCKING FIRE THEM TONY!!! I swear, this guy has the mental capacity of a 4 year old.
I haven't booked nearly as many shows as Tony Khan. None the less I'm happy to say I only had one "fight" on a four figure budget versus Tony Khan's six that we've heard of so far on a nine figure budget. And my fight wasn't really a fight so much as one wrestler just shooting on another because he didn't want to lose. No "investigations" needed and I certainly did not fear for my life.
