Honestly, if he was a true cokehead, his behavior wouldn't just be erratic, his business decisions would be, too. And if anything, I think Tony's almost too firm and disciplined in how he runs stories sometimes.

It's actually a sequel. Herb Abrams did it first.

Bet the Bucks and Kenny looked awkward setting around during those Weed and White Claw shindigs.

I wonder if people would have said the same of Vince McMahon back in the 1980s. Vince and Tony are alike as in they're rich, sleep very little and work ungodly hours. I'm worried more that Tony will burn out by the time he's 40. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Vince did...

His roster was full of gigantic men who shouted a lot. You do the math.

Vince was a big time businessman in the 80s…he 100% was coked up 24/7. I’m not even saying this in jest dude was on that Herb Abrams style.

Some of these are kind of dark and some (all?) might be stinkers, but…
Q: What is Tony Khan’s favorite season? A: Winter because snow is literally falling from the sky.
Q: What is Tony Khan’s least favorite season? A: Fall because it reminds him of the time he fell on his ass after a coke binge.
Q: Why did Tony Khan get pissed at Mike Bailey? A: Because he thought he was getting cocaine when he ordered a Speedball.
Q: Who is Tony Khan’s favorite sitcom actor? A: Tim Allen.
Q: What is Tony Khan’s favorite childhood toy? A: His yo-yo because the name reminds him of yayo.
Q: Why did Tony Khan turn down Robert Downey Jr. making a guest appearance on Dynamite? A: He’s no fun anymore.
Q: What is the difference between Herb Abrams and Tony Khan? A: Herb Abrams is dead.
Q: Why did Tony Khan get pissed at a TV executive? A: When he said there was a bump in the ratings Tony was expecting cocaine.
Q: Tony Khan has been critical of Vince McMahon. So what businessman does be model himself after? A: Pablo Escobar.
Q: Why was the line so long at Dynamite? A: Tony Khan forgot to cut it with a razor.
Q: Why didn’t Tony Khan hire Danhausen sooner? A: Because when someone poorly described him as, “Some clown who acts like he’s on coke,” Tony shot back, “Hey that’s my gimmick!”
Q: Why was Tony Khan hesitant to hire Orange Cassidy? A: He thought their lifestyles would clash.
Q: Where did Tony Khan advise Samoa Joe to go to get some magic weight loss powder? A: That sketchy guy down the street.
Q: Besides wrestling what is Tony Khan’s favorite sport? A: Hockey. Because you can play it surrounded by snow. Also, the Jaguars suck.

Me either, but at the same time Vince is a nutty health guy who wont let people sneeze, smoke or eat certain things around him. I could absolutely see him being recreational drug clean and being all about 'body supplements' shall we say, rather than recreational stuff, whatever the time period.

I thought it was pretty well known (or just short of that until Vince confirms it himself) that Vince was on coke in the 80s?
I don't know about Tony, given his social standing he's probably at least tried it but I absolutely agree with the posters about him likely being neurodivergent.

That's always been the thing said, because it was the 80s in New York, so duh, of course....but it just doesnt mesh with the massive health freak Vince seems to be. So either he changed at some point, or it's just an urban myth that became fact through expectation. A bit like this situation now. It's almost expected Tony be on something, so the expectation is feeding the assumed fact.

Vince is a walking contradiction though, if it could be sold to him as the drug that helps you work 20 hours a day and still workout 4 times too I think he'd go for that.

Here is what I think.
I didn't think of Tony Khan as a cocaine addict when I first heard about him and saw him. I did see that he has an overly anxious, autistic mentality, which is fine with me personally, but for operating a business, I wouldn't let this guy near the TV screen. He seems like a guy with very little self confidence, which I feel is not helpful when managing a wrestling company. He's fine as a "backstage" or "run behind the scenes" type, though. He should, in my opinion, delegate some of his work but preserve the writing and bookkeeping portions, for which he obviously has a passion.
The coke jokes are presumably a result of his wealth and neurotic temperament.
