Hate to say it but given that it's JBL I can't say I'm shocked that he did that crap. I wish I could say this shocked me that he did that but it really doesn't. Business is so much better off without pieces of shit like him in it. It's telling the way all of the 'traditions' of the Taker/Booker/JBL led locker room died the second the last of them retired from fill time wrestling. It's also a credit to people like Miz that they broke the cycle of hazing and abuse and never became shitbags themselves and passed along the relentless, often public abuse they received from Benoit and JBL to younger guys.

Letting Bob Holly off the hook, there.

Oh man, it's like those random people coming out of the woodwork when the footage was shown were grasping at all the straws and putting words into Tony's mouth. Weird how that happened.

"I was there at both, you were not" is pretty much all that needs to be said regarding any AEW/WCW comparisons. A fantastic quote by Schiavone.

I knew Tony was going to come forward with something like this, not that it matters to the "AEW is forcing him to say it" crowd. I find it really bizarre/kinda creepy how some wrestling fans will immediately impose their preferred real-life interpretation of the facial expressions of wrestling personalities (who are, y'know, professional entertainers) in a way that just happens to fit their own beliefs and biases. It's one of the many reasons I'm over the "blurring the lines" type booking, since it just feeds into that. Also when fans just ignore something said in an out-of-character interview in favor of substituting their preferred reality. Like when Cody made those super classy remarks about AEW in response to the Punk interview, and it gets a flood of "Cody's a politician, he knows the right thing to say, but we know how he really feels, wink wink." No you f***ing don't. Don't put words in his mouth just because you wish he'd taken some shots instead. It's weird, stop it.

If AEW was really like WCW in 2000, Tony Schiavone would have had Mark Madden next to him repeatedly trying to get “snootchie bootchies” over as a catch-all sexual innuendo while red viscous liquid fell from the ceiling, completely missing its target and splattering the crowd behind him. And the Bucks segment would have aired out of order before Tony’s intended reaction.

Tony is so real for dressing like a Millenial Comic Book Youtuber for his podcast.

The poor "This is just like WCW 2000" bots short circuiting and catching fire as they listen to this audio...

Letting Bob Holly off the hook, there. Having seen him wrestle, it's easy to forget he exists. Holly should have served jail time for what he did to Rene Dupree.

I'm laughing at Tony looking like he's about to do a movie breakdown video

People online complain and act like they know how the wrestlers feel about their booking and shit. Like wtf are you close personal friends with them? It's either creeps or bad faith because if you explain all of the missing facts and how we cannot jump to conclusions they just wave it away. Absurd, social media was a big mistake.

At this point most of Reddit is just fan fiction about how certain fans want wrestlers to be in real life. Young Bucks derangement syndrome is amazing to watch.
