Alright, time for some 'splainin.
WWE is at the point now where cities all over the world are bidding for their big shows. Normally, when you run a show, you have to pay a building fee and pay for promotion.
When a city bids on the event, they pay the company to run the
CM Punk did the coldest thing he could have possible done. He no sold AEW. Now the AEW fans have to face reality, WWE isn't going to waste one second of airtime acknowledging them while Tony has to take shots every chance he gets. AEW is not a challenger or competitor to WWE.
I'm usually not one to call out botches because, well, wrestling is hard, but after these 2 mocked Punk relentlessly for the Hangman botch, these 2 deserve it.
I'm going to do something crazy for X and use some common sense. After Brawl Out, I had to take off my fan hat and look at some hard truths as an (at the time) AEW fan, so I'm going to go through that process here.
Prior to AEW, I wasn't a big Cody fan, but even I looked at AEW
When Jey came out, my son clapped. When John Cena came out, he jumped out of his seat laughing. When Undertaker came out, his jaw dropped and he was completely silent, until Cody won.
I've never heard him scream so loud in his life.
Thank you
@WWE
, thank you

So they make a big deal about how Tony can't travel because of his injury, he stays in kayfabe during the NFL draft, then he breaks it for a silly dance he had to know would end up online?
I can't take this guy seriously. Pick a lane.
Ok, let me get this straight.
TV ratings, something that objectively measures success, don't matter.
Cagematch and Meltzer ratings, which are completely subjective, mean EVERYTHING!
Attendance doesn't matter (expect Wembley).
Nerds with stopwatches counting seconds MATTERS!
Somehow the footage doesn't even look as bad as Punk's own retelling of the incident. Without the audio this looks like Tony feared for his life over a scuffle kids have when they want the good controller.
One draws money and ratings and is a central part of the biggest storylines in both AEW and WWE despite being injured.
The other one still gets called Edge by mistake a lot.
Adam Copeland is 50 years old but fights like a young 20-year-old.
CM Punk is 45 years old and fights like a 70-year-old man.
You have the passion for Wrestling or you don't have it.
This is the promo that made me realize Kenny just wasn't it.
Alludes to wrestling being a work multiple times (compares it to "sports").
Adds a gimmick to the next match because he has that authority I guess.
Picks a dangerous stipulation despite one of his partners possibly
Screams "I started watching 5 years ago". From mid south to world class to Portland to Memphis, story has been the most important part in making a territory successful. Story sells tickets. It's not just a WWE thing.
We here at the AEW Disciplinary Committee would like to announce that although this security guard is definitely NOT sleeping and is, uh, preying (no way he'd fall asleep during this hot

action from Santa Lee!) we will still be fining him $5000 for putting our loyal
Save them? Why do some people assume that because a wrestler isn't being used exactly how you want them to be, they need to be "saved"?
AJ is making good money, has a good spot on the roster, and doesn't have to go out at his age and get dropped on his head 4 times a match.
The son of Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan presents Dabo Swinney with a championship belt after Clemson defeated Kentucky to win the Gator Bowl.
I shouldn’t be surprised reading about the misogynistic shitheads at last night’s Dynamite when this shit was literally in the opening of the show. 🙄🙄🙄
AEW star Will Ospreay says he "likes" Triple H, which made the WWE CCO's comments on The Pat McAfee Show (that many felt were directed towards him) "hard" to hear.
Ospreay said he was nothing but respectful in his talks with WWE, so doesn't feel he should have been the subject
In today's WWE news, John Cena, The Rock and Bad Bunny appeared at the Oscars and they played Roman Reigns' theme at the Lakers game.
In today's AEW news, Max Caster threw a hissy fit on Twitter.
I'm gonna make one more comment on this and then go back to the
#WrestleMania
festivities.
If they go through with it, this will accomplish nothing but to further push the fans into tribalism, which they claim to be against, and possibly slightly pop a rating. The Punk fans will
In WWE, Dragon Lee, Cody and Natalie give fans things they wear to the ring...
Meanwhile we got Taya complaining about costume sunglasses getting picked up off the ground.
I don't want AEW to fail. I LOVE wrestling. I have the sickness. I bond with my son over wrestling and some of my favorite memories involve pro wrestling. I got my 2 best friends because of wrestling and the more wrestling the better. I just don't think that AEW will continue to
@Lahti39
Ya this was not meant to be any kind of dunk on AEW. I'm trying to show the "but Wembley" crowd why the two situations really aren't comparable.
Well, Great Leader
@TonyKhan
promised and delivered! You loyal fans put your f*cking money where your mouths were! You told us you wanted a sports based competition and you got it! 2 of the finest athletes in the world will compete in the finals! Look at these physical specimens!
We all love

It's not OK to dunk on journalists... Unless you're Tony Khan

@AEWNeckbeard
is never running out
Welp, here it goes. Saturday night I was blocked by at least 2 AEW wrestlers. Monday, I was locked out of my account for "impersonation" and had to re verify. Today, I had to re verify again and my checkmark is under review. I went from getting 10k+ views on my posts to 2k if I'm
Vince pulled Maxxine out of the PC and brought her to TV because of her looks. She decided that being a manager wasn't enough after being inspired by the other females on the roster and asked to continue training. Triple H didn't want to take her off TV because of how over she
You know what sucks? With WWE's current management showing that they are willing to work with other companies (AJPW, NJPW, GCW, TNA), if Tony had just kept WWE's name out of his mouth or at least been respectful instead of immediately making them the enemy, we could soon be
An open letter to
@davemeltzerWON
(even though I'm blocked.)
Dave,
We need to talk. You've had a great run. At one point in time, you were among the most credible news outlets for pro wrestling and you still have credibility in the MMA world. Good or bad, your opinion is valued
@MovieMarvin
This is the thing people don't consider. WWE doesn't need to spend millions to bring in talent. They are building from the ground up. Bianca and Reah are going to be bigger than Sasha ever was, and that's just the beginning.
That was brilliant. Rock as a heel pulling strings for his family, Triple H as the humble exec with his hands tied, Seth as the under appreciated Champion trying to prove himself, Cody as the hero. Like I told my son, something you hated turned into something you love. This is
#WWENXT
was fire. My son and I will now be watching weekly. Great job using established guys to give talent the rub. My son immediately looked at these guys as stars because of it. That's how you book AND draw the next generation. Not veiled hate speech.
I wish him well. I hope he does so well,
@TonyKhan
signs him, puts him in
@ringofhonor
and he leaves
@Fightful
so I never ever have to hear from or about him again.
As an EVP, the mission of Kenny Omega was to keep Larry The Dog safe at Brawl Out.
He is also a strong believer of fighting.
He and CM Punk reached out to each other.
Remember during All In week, everytime I said anything good about WWE I'd hear "Can't you just let AEW have this?"?
Well, after doing everything he could to gleam any press off Wrestlemania here's Tony apparently hanging out at the airport greeting fans. Gotta get that clout.
This came up in my Google feed and they won't even let me share it here for some reason, so, 2 things.
1. Okada isn't changing anything.
2. How many "golden eras" can a 5 year old company have?
The only people talking about Sasha right now are aew marks watching the
#RoyalRumble
instead of
#AEWCollision
. The rest of us are talking about how Trips did more for the women's division in one match than Tony has in 5 years.
Tony Khan isn't healthy enough to be the authority figure, so Kenny has to come in and take charge.... From a hospital bed? Make it make sense!
#AEWDynamite
Kenny Omega has announced the new Elite vs Team AEW at Double or Nothing.
Anarchy in the Arena!! The first two members of team AEW are FTR. The other 2 members will be revealed later tonight. 👀
#AEWDynamite
Even more than the fact that they get so much wrong and rarely take accountability, the thing that I find most annoying about wrestling journalists is that most of them clearly desperately want to be wrestlers and play these roles as their "persona" online.
SRS tries so hard to
Something I haven't seen mentioned. With the Netflix announcement, WWE now has a foothold in Cable, Broadcast and streaming. No matter which way the wind blows, they're covered. That's called hedging your bets. Smart move.
Just when I decide to cut back on the AEW hate, Tony Khan has a 4am outburst and reminds me just why I started doing this in the first place.
Step down Tony. Step down from social media, from this fight and from the company. Put someone else in charge. You aren't built for this
Jesus Christ. He literally can’t help himself. I would look a lot kinder on AEW and give them a lot more leniency in my opinions if the man who owned and ran it didn’t act like such a petulant child. Tony makes it difficult if not sometimes impossible to root for AEW.
Would it
I see a lot of AEW fans saying Cody is being left behind in this story. It's because in AEW, this would be the story.
Cody and Roman are friends. Roman turns on Cody. They wrestle 3 times. Cody wins the first, then Roman, then Cody.
Then they shake hands and become a faction.
"Why can't we just watch what we enjoy?"
"Enjoy all wrestling! Ratings don't matter!"
Here's the thing AEW fans. The reason so many of us insist on talking about this is the company you love and the most vocal part of their fanbase begged for it when they thought they were
@Unpaid__Critic
How does a sold out show help a Wrestling fan?? Especially when 60% of the live crowd can't name 10 people on the roster🤣 And we get it, you LOVE stories & talking more than Wrestling, you're a soap opera fan, cool.. Bit weird tho to get triggered cuz others like Wrestling😂
Hey guys, I found a picture of
@WWEbotched
. Here it is.
See, it's an account on Twitter. That's literally all that matters. I will never understand people's obsession over trying to reveal the people behind accounts online. Who cares? If you don't like what he says, argue with
Honest question. Did Tony Khan offer to buy ROH BEFORE he stole their talent to create AEW? Because to me, it seems like the only difference between what he did to the Indys and what Vince did to the territories is that Vince offered a check first.
Tony Khan says that a “major member" of wrestling media told him that WWE PR is telling people that the AEW TV deal is done.
Khan denies that's the case, regardless of what WWE is telling people
(ROH Death Before Dishonor Media Call)
Steiners vs Doom, Steiners vs. Rotunda and Sullivan, Steiners vs. Money Inc., Steiners vs. Headshrinkers. Harlem Heat, Outsiders, the countless stories with Sting.
The simple fact that he said "Watch one week" goes to show that after all his years reporting, Uncle Dave doesn't
Alright AEW fans, you weren't happy because Punk didn't talk about AEW and was "pg". Well, Tony clearly heard you because you got Flair and MJF admitted exposing the business, MJF mentioning WWE, Edge dropping an F-bomb and a bonus of Flair being creepy on Rampage. You got what
Do AEW Wrestlers understand that many fans watch the show to see a good wrestling television show?
Not a show that feels like a bad acid trip, which is why fans have been leaving.
We get it: YOU are living YOUR dreams and fulfilling YOUR goals wrestling for this billionaire
Yep, "only 4 women", out of 11 people on the card, in a country where just a few years ago the women weren't allowed to wrestle.
AEW also has 4 women on their ppv. That's out of 31 PEOPLE on the card. In Las Vegas.
Rounding down for WWE and up for AEW, that's 36% for WWE and
I think Sting might be the nicest guy in the business. I think he does everything he can to not cause waves and, by Tony Khan's own account, he doesn't truly understand the impact he's had.
So, do I think he hand picked the Bucks? I don't know. I don't think he has a problem
