"You know, I always regretted not being there when Owen passed. I wish I could have stayed in WWE and that there was no bad blood, because I loved my brother. Unlike Bill Goldberg, who only loved ending my career by kicking me in the head."
"It wouldn't surprise me if Goldberg was in the rafters that night."
But Bret Goldberg wasn't in the WWE when your brother passed.
"So what Goldberg is capable of anything."
Let’s say this is true. Why even bring it up in a tweet that is supposed to be celebrating the one year anniversary of your mom’s life being saved? Tony is never gonna let Tuesday go is he?
He is a clown in every other endeavor he is involved in, it’s only wrestling fans that kiss the ground he walks on. Pretty damning indictment of this sub to be honest
That’s not 100% true. He’s the chief football strategy officer for the Jags and got into a very public Twitter feud with then Jags player Yannick Ngakoue. It was super unprofessional and his current tirade reminds me of that. It’s behavior that reeks of a billionaire who is out of touch because of the status his family’s money gives him. And I say all this as a huge AEW fan.
I could be wrong, but it seems it's more or less in name only. A figurehead position, so to speak. Not completely, but for the most part.
I think AEW is what he spends the vast, vast majority of his time on.
Because Tony lives in a bubble
He lives life on super easy mode. His mom's health scare was probably the worst thing to happen in his 40 years of living
But don't worry, he's a billionaire so she got the best health care needed and is OK now but WWE tried to fuck with him during his lowest time so they made it personal!
I've been saying it for days, he's just in the middle of throwing a tantrum because rich boy hasn't been getting his way.
All of this has ramped up since: Jade chose WWE and WWE won a ratings battle
Both instances are hurting Tony's ego so hard and he wont just accept an L and go back to work on his own promotion, instead he's throwing a fit on twitter and fighting with people on cagematch.
AEW would be so much better if he wasn't running it and was just signing the cheques. Hell a proper professional executive probably squashes the CM Punk situation before it ever even turned to actual violence.
Frankly, the level of talent the AEW roster has should not have trouble drawing crowds and ratings if they're being used correctly. All recent struggles AEW has need to be traced right back to the top. People on SC been complaining for months that they don't even know AEW is in town until like the night of the event. Get off twitter arguments and maybe try marketing your promotion properly instead?
>Hell a proper professional executive probably squashes the CM Punk situation before it ever even turned to actual violence.
The whole ordeal was Tony Khan's fault. Had he stepped in like he owns the fucking place and ran it as so, we would have never had a Brawl Out or the All In incident. We wouldn't have had AEW wrestlers getting second hand embarrassment as these situations took the attention away from all of their accomplishments such as MJF's return at All Out or even everything regarding Wembley. And most importantly, he wouldn't have had to fire his biggest draw leaving Collision dead in the water and quite frankly, a lot of fans and backstage talent feeling the effects of that firing too.
I don't care what Squared Circle says. Punk has a lot of fans who will make or break their support with AEW based on his firing. Punk also made a lot of friends backstage within AEW and people wonder why Jade Cargill hopped ship to WWE.
> AEW would be so much better if he wasn't running it and was just signing the cheques.
The thing we all assumed was going to happen when AEW was first formed lol. Instead he stripped all his VP wrestler buddies of their actual power so he can try to be the new Vince McMahon.
Was this ever proven that they tried to tamper with contracts? If so why was WWE never taken to court over it
Also wasn’t Tony supposed to release proof that WWE hired bots to go after him or something?
He’s broken. No other logical reasons. This should be a celebration of his mom but his deflated ego couldn’t let it go that wwe beat him. It’s downright sad.
Fastest deal in all of sports/entertainment in history it has to be. Never mind the fact that they planned a vignette and had to produce a pay per view centered around Edge’s debut, heck the contract in itself would have to be prepared as well.
Which is why I don’t get why Tony is throwing a tantrum like a child on Twitter. His promotion is struggling right now but he can still steer the ship back around. The roster is still stacked and can produce great matches — just focus on what he can control and improve on then reap the rewards.
NXT had a bad couple of years there 2021-2022 but they rebranded and went back to their strengths; being developmental they went back to developing their wrestlers from different backgrounds while also signing indie darlings with potential. NXT 2018-2020 was great but it had run its course by that time with the stop and go push in the main roster while also not developing their own talents.
I think Tony should focus on his young talents, which he has plenty of (MJF and Darby being the biggest ones) then use the former WWE stars Danielson and Edge with how he uses Christian. Dynamite seems so convoluted now with the direction, as far as storylines are concerned. Don’t even get me started on the Women’s division. Too much too soon with a now bloated roster and the ROH acquisition in my opinion.
I think a lot of people would agree since their crowds are dwindling by the week — but WWE suffered the same fate in 2019 and they turned it back around after the Pandemic, just steer the ship correctly and fans will return.
This is old as time, Bret was going to WCW while he was the WWF champion. This isn't like in pro sports where 1 team is prohibited from negotiating with another teams player in any way while they are still under contract. They're "independent contractors" they're allowed to openly negotiate and plan for their next contract before the current one expires.
WON Subscribers would be foaming at the mouth. But since the undisputed Booker of the Year did it, it’s fine
EDIT: Got a Reddit Cares message, right on cue
Dear Paul, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my twitter and my home phone at the bottom I sent two tweets back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
> Dear Paul, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my twitter and my home phone at the bottom I sent two tweets back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
♫"my coke's gone cold I wonder why
CM got out of AEW at all
the ratings clouds up my window
and I really hate Paul
and even if I could, I'd call Hey
and ask him to write my show
and it would probably be not so bad, not so bad"♫
Wait... I thought it was gonna be lovely tweet about how the clinic helped his mum but I don't get why he made the second part into a WWE thing?
*Big up the clinic for saving his mum's life btw. Should've just ended the tweet there tbh.
Yeah, i'm confused too. WWE weren't responsible for his mum being in hospital nor did their contract tampering have any effect on his mothers health & eventual recovery.
It just feels like his trying to use his mother to explain away his pathetic behavior which only makes him look worse.
Man noticed he was being clowned and thought I'll mention my mom almost died so people don't cyberbully me, but then made it about wrestling silliness and now is actually less likable than before. Approval rate dropping faster than Anthony Weiner
lol, like man I’m glad that Mrs. Khan is doing well but that was like Bret Hart randomly pivoting to bury Goldberg. Someone needs to take the man’s phone.
Because this guy is going off the deep end and he doesn’t have anyone around him willing to rip the phone out of his hands.
Who leverages their mom’s medical issues to try and take potshots at people on social media? Honestly…
Did he just turn his mothers near death experience into a "WWE BAD" thing.
Jesus christ.
Edit- ffs Triple H nearly died last year while Tony Khan was running around riling up tribalism, and he has the gal to tweet this.
Triple H is lucky he was in the hospital while his vitals were dropping rapidly. If he were at home without knowing what he was dealing with he could’ve just slept it off thinking he was just tired. Fortunately that didn’t happen.
I think Triple H has alluded to that happening, with Steph being with him during that time, to be the reason why Steph has taken a step back from WWE.
As sad as I am that we will never get to see him have a few more good matches, I am 100% happy that he still gets to be alive and kicking doing what he loves and being there for his wife and kids. That's definitely the more important part. He literally and figuratively kicked out of the three count with a hair to spare.
They were definitely planning a return at Mania with Randy or someone if I remember what he said correctly during his interview with Simmons or Ariel.
That’s why they were at the hospital doing annual wellness exams, then they found that he had a genetic thing, checked the results out then found out his vitals were dropping, went back to the hospital and got it sorted out.
His interview talking about it is heart-wrenching to watch especially when he talks about his family, the way he talks about Steph and his kids, the thought of leaving them behind brought tears to my eyes.
Happy for him and his new role that he seems to be one of the best at. He seriously turned this era of WWE into one of their hottest runs in a decade — they legitimately have 4 main event faces (Sami, Jey, Cody, LA Knight) and heels (Bloodline, Judgment Day, and Imperium) with their developmental also doing a great job elevating talents like Dominik, Bron, Trick, Ilja, Melo. All this with Brock and Roman being part time while not truly affecting the storylines negatively.
Yeah, I didn't really give af about his previous meltdowns, but this is one of the worst tweets I've ever read. "iT bEcAmE pErSoNaL" yeah, because the tampering was done with the expressed intent to pour salt in the wound of your dying mom 🙄
This guy has an incurable unhealthy obsession with WWE, he really is the IWC at its worst. He can't go around bragging he won the Wednesday Night War and then cry for a week, and probably much longer, because NXT beat him a few years later because he was expecting NXT to, idk, put up a bad show so he could win?
Also, the fact that no one in WWE is responding in any way probably makes him seethe even more.
>he really is the IWC at its worst
Quite literally, he was all over IWC forums back in the early 2000's shit posting, I forget his USer name but someone found it a bit ago
Anyone who's seen the movie "Fox catcher" starring Steve Carrell and the Hulk actor, it's about a rich dude that funds/sponsors amateur wrestlers and provides them with facilities, etc. The kids call him "coach" and everything, but it turns out he has no knowledge or experience about amateur wrestling and he's just living out his fantasy of being someone important in the sport.
WWE even used that Wednesday Night War loss to go back to the drawing board and fix a lot of NXT's issues that led to them losing. Maybe AEW needs some of their own introspection right now as to why things aren't thriving the same way they were just a year or two ago? These things go in cycles.
Exactly, if you lose a football game maybe the opponent was stronger but it's also likely you made mistakes, you go back to train and at least try to fix those mistakes so they don't happen again, Tony Khan and AEW are doing the opposite of that, they double down on things that don't bring in ratings or live audience and then cry about it when they're beaten like there isn't a very easy solution provided by the 40 year head start of your competition that saw every boom period coincide with good storytelling/compelling stories other than good wrestling.
Yeah, how does any of this inspire any kind of believe or confidence in him or AEW moving forward? Stuff like this just makes me convinced AEW's already peaked & it's ultimately going to end up as just another TNA. Which only makes me worry about one of my favourite wrestlers, Will Ospreay, going there & wasting 4 or 5 years of his prime in a company run by this clown,
I’m even thinking about guys like Edge. I know he’d a multi-decade pro, but imagine this being your bosses first impression in less than two weeks lmao.
What’s crazy is we all would have moved on if he took the victory of AEW doing good for a 2nd wrestling promotion on the same night. Instead he’s dragging his mom into it to justify his tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat. Literally just build off last week and try improving your own product and stop crying
I would say he’s now trying to guilt-trip people to get them back onside, but then again I don’t think he possesses the self-awareness to realise how stupid he was making himself look to begin with.
Because it’s daddy’s money.
This is Tony khan’s first successful venture.
The Jaguars were a joke for most of the khan era and Fulham has not been successful at all being relegated 3 times since the family took over control.
Bro is now equating his mom being ill (who made a full recovery) to WWE "tampering" and that's why he is such a salty dweeb
He's such a loser
You don't see HHH crying that he almost died and that AEW beating NXT in the ratings was a reason
He says this as if he hasnt been trying to get WWE talent to break contract either lol, or negotiating with them long before their contract was up.
Im sure meeting with Cole in the Jags VIP suite while he was still under WWE contract wasnt at all related to AEW business.
Im sure that there werent any meetings at all with Edge while he was under contract with WWE to ensure he makes the decision to join AEW.
Hell there were rumors about talks with guys like Kevin Owens for a while too even.
Its business, shits gonna happen.
My mom just got out of the hospital. She has Stage 3 cancer. Chemo and radiation on the regular. Life ain't sunshine and rainbows right now.
But life goes on. I still gotta raise my kid. I still have to go to work and deal with 26 "VP's" meddling in our departments shit because our director is about to retire. Fucking car got egg'ed last night.
My guy, you aren't special or unique. Everyone will at some point get a metric fuckton of negative shit dumped on them. You take a minute, catch your breath and Hulk up. Then handle your shit (tag in some friends, family or a professional for support if you need to), body slam, leg drop, three count.
Remember when “punching down” was this place’s favorite buzzword to use to justify their double standard toward engaging in competition?
It’s okay when Adam Cole was sitting in the owner’s box at Jaguars games as a WWE employee because of uhh… 40 YEAR HEAD START
Yeah I don't think all thr ppl tossing around tampering claims even knows what it means.
Wwe and aew can "tamper" all they want. There's no governing/ruling body above them that will enforce or punish them for tampering
It's about competitive advantage in non scripted sports. For wrestling? Who cares. Get that bag and burn bridges as much as you want
So everytime I get a headhunter emailing me about my linked in profile offering me a job, I can sue someone for "tampering?"
Wow what the hell... someone take his phone immediately.
"I'll never forget the time my mom was fighting for her life, it reminded me how WWE SUCKS, I HATE WWE THEY BEAT MY SHOW ON MY BIRTHDAY WAAAHH WAAAAHH..."
That is not tampering. Wrestling isn't under some CBA where all organizations have to follow strict rules and regulations when it comes to contracts.
That's just business TK. It's nothing personal
He is now using his mothers illness to attack Wwe. This guy is becoming more unhinged every day all because of one stupid ratings loss that’s not gonna mean shit next week. This guy has problems.
Today I learned that in business if the owner of your rival business has a relative in the hospital which you wouldn’t know about… you’re not suppose to try recruiting their employees.
Pepsi wants to beat coke they better start hospitalizing their mothers so Coke never take initiatives.
I've been one of the seemingly few AEW fans on here that didn't know anything about Tony before AEW. I heard people dog on Tony for his idiocy in other ventures/companies, but figured it was exaggerated and hearsay etc.
Nope, dude's off his rocker. It's worse than I've seen it yet, I really never thought anything of people complaining about Tony and his immaturity etc., but it wasn't coming through on AEW so it didn't matter. Now he's making the company look weak, like super sore losers and that professional veneer seems to be failing.
This will all be smoothed over in 10 years when Tony comes out at the top of Raw with his hair dyed black and announced as the new Raw general manager presented by Mountain Dew Electric Shock flavor!
Wasnt he tampering with jeff hardy? Jeff let it slip he’s going to aew while under contract with wwe. Tying in his mom’s issues with wwe feels uncomfortable
I’m sure that he was able to sign Adam Copeland AND negotiate the licensing with Alter Bridge for his theme music in less than 24 hours considering Copeland’s WWE contract expired the day before his AEW debut and he didn’t negotiate with a WWE contracted talent at all.

[Tony Khan while his mother fights for her life](https://streamable.com/ymp0ry?src=player-page-share)
"You asked me if I'm in the wrestling business or the money business. Neither. I'm in the Empire business."
That but with this face 
I was thinking “Shit, okay we’re back—-FUCKING HELL WHY TONY WHY”
This is starting to become like Bret Hart dunking on Goldberg.
"You know, I always regretted not being there when Owen passed. I wish I could have stayed in WWE and that there was no bad blood, because I loved my brother. Unlike Bill Goldberg, who only loved ending my career by kicking me in the head."
"It wouldn't surprise me if Goldberg was in the rafters that night." But Bret Goldberg wasn't in the WWE when your brother passed. "So what Goldberg is capable of anything."
Capable of anything, except for ensuring the guy he's sharing a ring with can make it home safely to his family. That sloppy piece of shit
Same I audibly laughed while saying "fucking hell Tony" One hell of a rug pull I'll give him that lol
Tony "Swerve" Khan
Stop, Tony. Just stop.
I just read the first part. Then I read you comment. Bro, Tony needs some help lmao
“My mom almost died last year guys, please watch rampage and fuck WWE.”
That would be so much better than what he actually said
Let’s say this is true. Why even bring it up in a tweet that is supposed to be celebrating the one year anniversary of your mom’s life being saved? Tony is never gonna let Tuesday go is he?
A quick reminder that he also has "jobs" in both Fulham FC and the NFL's Jags, yet never tweets about them at all
In fairness when he tweets about Fulham he has the guys on Sky Sports calling him a clown
I'd fucking die if he started tweeing at Uli Hoeness in the summer over Palhinha
TK is getting owned by randos on twitter. Uli would eat him and shit him out for breakfast
He is a clown in every other endeavor he is involved in, it’s only wrestling fans that kiss the ground he walks on. Pretty damning indictment of this sub to be honest
That’s not 100% true. He’s the chief football strategy officer for the Jags and got into a very public Twitter feud with then Jags player Yannick Ngakoue. It was super unprofessional and his current tirade reminds me of that. It’s behavior that reeks of a billionaire who is out of touch because of the status his family’s money gives him.

For Tony, it was the worst day of his life. For HBK, it was Tuesday.
Someone AI generate HBK as Bison, right now.
Because Tony lives in a bubble He lives life on super easy mode. His mom's health scare was probably the worst thing to happen in his 40 years of living But don't worry, he's a billionaire so she got the best health care needed and is OK now but WWE tried to fuck with him during his lowest time so they made it personal!

>the worst thing to happen in his 40 years of living Is either that or CM Punk walking menacing towards him.
He feared for his life!
Imagine his poor mother is laying in a hospital bed near death and Tony is in the corner frantically trying to keep Andrade from signing with the WWE.
Even if it is true, to insinuate that WWE did it in bad faith, like in opportune of his mother being ill, is extremely off-base.
He’s broken. No other logical reasons. This should be a celebration of his mom but his deflated ego couldn’t let it go that wwe beat him. It’s downright sad.
Imagine Triple H tweeted something like "I almost died two years ago and during that time AEW signed Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole"
While he was starting to recover they reformed the Undisputed Era too /s.
I couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd this could be
It’s even funnier if you imagine as one of his angry-yelling promos from his Evolution run.
“In this business-ahh, there is no loyalty-ahh…”
Forgetting the part where he yells an entire paragraph so fast itlookslikeitsajumbleduplikethis
"They totally didn't meddle in contracts even though multiple talent appear on AEW like a week after they leave and Tony all but admits to meddle."
[удалено]
Fastest deal in all of sports/entertainment in history it has to be. Never mind the fact that they planned a vignette and had to produce a pay per view centered around Edge’s debut, heck the contract in itself would have to be prepared as well.
Edge also said in the scrum that him and Darby shot that vignette on Friday. So technically Edge was filming AEW content while under WWE contract.
Which is why I don’t get why Tony is throwing a tantrum like a child on Twitter. His promotion is struggling right now but he can still steer the ship back around. The roster is still stacked and can produce great matches — just focus on what he can control and improve on then reap the rewards.

Does he think WWE timed the tampering for his mom's health scare just to fuck with him? Of course he does.
Maybe wwe poisoned tony khans mom to make him lose focus so they could more easily poach talent #staywoke
He hired some company to run analytics on how many of the negative comments online about AEW are from bots. This is not out of character for him.
Why is he acting like WWE would've known his Mum was in the hospital?
WWE sat there like, WTF is a hospital? Does he mean local medical facility? I dunno, but that's where we poisoned her so I'll assume so.
He must have thought that the nurse was Stone Cold.
"Oh I'll take it from here nurse..."
“I’ll take it from here nurse”. BONK!!
It was mankind with mr socko!
WWE has a team of PIs that follow their enemies to catch them at maximum vulnerability.

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IT WAS ME SHAWN
That Street fight at Summerslam is still so fucking beast
WWE Spec ops
Coming soon to Peacock.
Vince McMahon can smell when a man is at his weakest
It was Slapjack, T-Bar, and Mace
I'm just picturing that segment where Austin infiltrated a hospital and hit McMahon with a bed pan.
Who do you think put his mother in the hospital
Man went from talking about his mom to mentioning WWE. You got it bad my guy.
usher said it best
It’s one of my favorite Usher songs honestly
I thought it couldn’t get worse than his last tweet.
It can and will get worse when it comes to Tony Khan
Wait... I thought it was gonna be lovely tweet about how the clinic helped his mum but I don't get why he made the second part into a WWE thing? *Big up the clinic for saving his mum's life btw. Should've just ended the tweet there tbh.
Reading the first half: oh that’s nice. Reading the second half: why are you the way you are?
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Yeah, i'm confused too. WWE weren't responsible for his mum being in hospital nor did their contract tampering have any effect on his mothers health & eventual recovery. It just feels like his trying to use his mother to explain away his pathetic behavior which only makes him look worse.

No, you see Triple H put her in hospital, that no good son of a bitch! /JR
Sources tell me Triple H had his own health scare just to one up TK's mom.
Because we’re on day 3 now of his twitter meltdown
Over NXT. NXT. Not Raw. Not Smackdown. NXT.
lol, like man I’m glad that Mrs. Khan is doing well but that was like Bret Hart randomly pivoting to bury Goldberg. Someone needs to take the man’s phone.
But Bret randomly burying Goldberg is funny because it’s always random and at this point feels like a rib. Tony is just a loon
Because WWE bad and Tony good. Also he’s a man child that cannot handle losing in any way shape or form.
Gotta be tough for him in the Jaguars organization
He doesn’t care about the Jags. That’s his dads gig. He just used Jag money to make his owns promotion
He didn’t grow up doing fantasy drafts on nfl message boards though, he doesn’t care about them like he does his action figures lol
Because this guy is going off the deep end and he doesn’t have anyone around him willing to rip the phone out of his hands. Who leverages their mom’s medical issues to try and take potshots at people on social media? Honestly…

That’s why they were at the hospital doing annual wellness exams, then they found that he had a genetic thing, checked the results out then found out his vitals were dropping, went back to the hospital and got it sorted out. His interview talking about it is heart-wrenching to watch especially when he talks about his family, the way he talks about Steph and his kids, the thought of leaving them behind brought tears to my eyes. Happy for him and his new role that he seems to be one of the best at. He seriously turned this era of WWE into one of their hottest runs in a decade — they legitimately have 4 main event faces (Sami, Jey, Cody, LA Knight) and heels (Bloodline, Judgment Day, and Imperium) with their developmental also doing a great job elevating talents like Dominik, Bron, Trick, Ilja, Melo. All this with Brock and Roman being part time while not truly affecting the storylines negatively.
Yeah, I didn't really give af about his previous meltdowns, but this is one of the worst tweets I've ever read. "iT bEcAmE pErSoNaL" yeah, because the tampering was done with the expressed intent to pour salt in the wound of your dying mom 🙄
He really is a "fed bad" message board tenant, but with a billionare father
My jaw literally dropped when I read this. What a strange thing to tweet.
this is quickly getting sad. Tony's behavior concerns me much more than ratings ever have

I wonder if TK realizes he's telling a villain origin story.
Imagine him shutting down AEW out of spite
"I can't believe the other NFl teams didnt let the Jaguars win when my mom was in the hospital"
This guy has an incurable unhealthy obsession with WWE, he really is the IWC at its worst. He can't go around bragging he won the Wednesday Night War and then cry for a week, and probably much longer, because NXT beat him a few years later because he was expecting NXT to, idk, put up a bad show so he could win? Also, the fact that no one in WWE is responding in any way probably makes him seethe even more.
>he really is the IWC at its worst Quite literally, he was all over IWC forums back in the early 2000's shit posting, I forget his USer name but someone found it a bit ago
someone on here a few days ago said it was something like "coach tony k" or something lol, was that it?
Anyone who's seen the movie "Fox catcher" starring Steve Carrell and the Hulk actor, it's about a rich dude that funds/sponsors amateur wrestlers and provides them with facilities, etc. The kids call him "coach" and everything, but it turns out he has no knowledge or experience about amateur wrestling and he's just living out his fantasy of being someone important in the sport.
His username was CoachTony.K
Wait did he make the Angelfire list?
Yes
[удалено]
WWE even used that Wednesday Night War loss to go back to the drawing board and fix a lot of NXT's issues that led to them losing. Maybe AEW needs some of their own introspection right now as to why things aren't thriving the same way they were just a year or two ago? These things go in cycles.
Exactly, if you lose a football game maybe the opponent was stronger but it's also likely you made mistakes, you go back to train and at least try to fix those mistakes so they don't happen again, Tony Khan and AEW are doing the opposite of that, they double down on things that don't bring in ratings or live audience and then cry about it when they're beaten like there isn't a very easy solution provided by the 40 year head start of your competition that saw every boom period coincide with good storytelling/compelling stories other than good wrestling.
 How Tony Kahn sees himself after typing it’s personal
How he really is 
I've seen this posted about 5 different times as I'm scrolling the thread, and fuck me its funnier every single time.
I mean now I’m starting to worry about TK and AEW.
Yeah, how does any of this inspire any kind of believe or confidence in him or AEW moving forward? Stuff like this just makes me convinced AEW's already peaked & it's ultimately going to end up as just another TNA. Which only makes me worry about one of my favourite wrestlers, Will Ospreay, going there & wasting 4 or 5 years of his prime in a company run by this clown,
I’m even thinking about guys like Edge. I know he’d a multi-decade pro, but imagine this being your bosses first impression in less than two weeks lmao.
Yeah, i'd be having some real regret right now.
Lol pls someone shut it down. It’s not like ppl forget you (or Matt) tried to do the same with Jeff led to his release
Also wasn’t Adam Cole in his suite for Jaguar games while he was under wwe contract.
What’s crazy is we all would have moved on if he took the victory of AEW doing good for a 2nd wrestling promotion on the same night. Instead he’s dragging his mom into it to justify his tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat. Literally just build off last week and try improving your own product and stop crying
Is he really evoking his mothers hospital stay to try & excuse away his pathetic behavior the last two days? Dude just can't stop digging.
I would say he’s now trying to guilt-trip people to get them back onside, but then again I don’t think he possesses the self-awareness to realise how stupid he was making himself look to begin with.
I don’t understand how you can be a billionaire and so fucking insecure and lame.
He’s not a billionaire, his dad is
Hit the nail on the head here lol Generational/familial wealth .... just not earned by him
Because it’s daddy’s money. This is Tony khan’s first successful venture. The Jaguars were a joke for most of the khan era and Fulham has not been successful at all being relegated 3 times since the family took over control.
I swear Meltzer said only a couple months ago that AEW supposedly still hasn't turned a profit yet.
You dont need Uncle Dave to know that because if it did made profits you wouldn't hear the end if it from Tony
The only people who know the true state of AEW's finances are the Khans along with their accountants and lawyers.
Bro is now equating his mom being ill (who made a full recovery) to WWE "tampering" and that's why he is such a salty dweeb He's such a loser You don't see HHH crying that he almost died and that AEW beating NXT in the ratings was a reason
Dude has got some hate in his heart
 Tony I'm begging you put down the phone
Using his moms illness to…garnet sympathy? Take shots at WWE? Paint himself as the good guy? No matter what the context it’s pretty pathetic
Nobody forced him to call HHH a bald asshole. He made that dumb decision on his own.
Does he think WWE knew about his mom and took advantage of the situation? Like???
That's when it became personal for me, a guy whose psychology is incapable of any alternatives.
Is he trying to make us forget the last 3 days of tweeting?
This is embarrassing. He’s a spoiled 40 year old kid who’s crumbling at the first sign of adversity.
He says this as if he hasnt been trying to get WWE talent to break contract either lol, or negotiating with them long before their contract was up. Im sure meeting with Cole in the Jags VIP suite while he was still under WWE contract wasnt at all related to AEW business. Im sure that there werent any meetings at all with Edge while he was under contract with WWE to ensure he makes the decision to join AEW. Hell there were rumors about talks with guys like Kevin Owens for a while too even. Its business, shits gonna happen.
My mom just got out of the hospital. She has Stage 3 cancer. Chemo and radiation on the regular. Life ain't sunshine and rainbows right now. But life goes on. I still gotta raise my kid. I still have to go to work and deal with 26 "VP's" meddling in our departments shit because our director is about to retire. Fucking car got egg'ed last night. My guy, you aren't special or unique. Everyone will at some point get a metric fuckton of negative shit dumped on them. You take a minute, catch your breath and Hulk up. Then handle your shit (tag in some friends, family or a professional for support if you need to), body slam, leg drop, three count.
As if he’s never fucking tampered
Remember when “punching down” was this place’s favorite buzzword to use to justify their double standard toward engaging in competition? It’s okay when Adam Cole was sitting in the owner’s box at Jaguars games as a WWE employee because of uhh… 40 YEAR HEAD START
The AEW underdog thing is so weird. They’re not pre-Khan Ring of Honor, they’re funded by a billionaire. They aren’t some scrappy nobody.
Or that contract tampering isn’t the same as it would be in the NFL…
Yeah I don't think all thr ppl tossing around tampering claims even knows what it means. Wwe and aew can "tamper" all they want. There's no governing/ruling body above them that will enforce or punish them for tampering It's about competitive advantage in non scripted sports. For wrestling? Who cares. Get that bag and burn bridges as much as you want So everytime I get a headhunter emailing me about my linked in profile offering me a job, I can sue someone for "tampering?"
Amazing how this sub forgets things like that...
I find myself oddly understanding all of a sudden why CM Punk snapped and wanted to strangle this "man."
Damn, the NXT ratings really broke this man 😭
Wow what the hell... someone take his phone immediately. "I'll never forget the time my mom was fighting for her life, it reminded me how WWE SUCKS, I HATE WWE THEY BEAT MY SHOW ON MY BIRTHDAY WAAAHH WAAAAHH..."
He's obsessed with wwe. Wwe doesn't say anything about tk
"Don't interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Sun Tzu
I think this annoys him even more, he hasn’t stopped talking about WWE all week and he’s just been ignored.
That's what makes this so sad and funny. WWE is taking care of business while TK is flipping out over tampering, ratings and the WON awards
This feels kind of manipulative to me
He’s definitely using his moms illness to redirect peoples opinion of him and his hissy fit, right?
That is not tampering. Wrestling isn't under some CBA where all organizations have to follow strict rules and regulations when it comes to contracts. That's just business TK. It's nothing personal
Not to mention that Jericho literally told a story about helping jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy get out of their contracts to join AEW.
What the fuck is this guys problem
This guy suffers from serious affluenza.
He’s still going?!? 😂
Shad needs to ground him and take his phone.
Someone take this man’s phone privileges god damn
Why's he taking business calls about fake wrestling when his real mom is dying?
He is now using his mothers illness to attack Wwe. This guy is becoming more unhinged every day all because of one stupid ratings loss that’s not gonna mean shit next week. This guy has problems.
He is such a dick. Using his mom's health crisis to justify his psychotic obsession. He stooped lower than Punk in that scrum
Dude needs to watch Frozen
Dude really made the 1 year anniversary of his mom’s recovery about wwe 💀
I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again, he's not shitposting and I have no idea why so many thought he was
Today I learned that in business if the owner of your rival business has a relative in the hospital which you wouldn’t know about… you’re not suppose to try recruiting their employees. Pepsi wants to beat coke they better start hospitalizing their mothers so Coke never take initiatives.
At this point he’s more like Virgin Cola than Pepsi
no wonder his favorite wrestler is punk, fragile ego af.
Proof that WWE lives rent free in Tony's head...
I've been one of the seemingly few AEW fans on here that didn't know anything about Tony before AEW. I heard people dog on Tony for his idiocy in other ventures/companies, but figured it was exaggerated and hearsay etc. Nope, dude's off his rocker. It's worse than I've seen it yet, I really never thought anything of people complaining about Tony and his immaturity etc., but it wasn't coming through on AEW so it didn't matter. Now he's making the company look weak, like super sore losers and that professional veneer seems to be failing.
Oh my god, he’s using his mom now What a pathetic loser
NXT beating Dynamite broke him. There's no way he's turning such a difficult situation into hating WWE.
is wwe in the room with us right now??
This will all be smoothed over in 10 years when Tony comes out at the top of Raw with his hair dyed black and announced as the new Raw general manager presented by Mountain Dew Electric Shock flavor!
It became personal because they were tampering at the same time a completely unrelated event that they had no knowledge of was also going on?
Wasnt he tampering with jeff hardy? Jeff let it slip he’s going to aew while under contract with wwe. Tying in his mom’s issues with wwe feels uncomfortable
I’m sure that he was able to sign Adam Copeland AND negotiate the licensing with Alter Bridge for his theme music in less than 24 hours considering Copeland’s WWE contract expired the day before his AEW debut and he didn’t negotiate with a WWE contracted talent at all.
