Glad Tony got more of a speaking role this episode I was thinking he was barely gonna say anything every episode.

It sounds like the most obvious thing ever, but Cody's just such a regular dude. He is just a big NEEEEEEEEERD

Tony Khan himself is apparently this week’s guest on Unrestricted.

Since I listen to other podcasts to and from work, I wait until these are uploaded on YouTube. Been worth the wait each time. Time flies by with them.

Watching the JR one, and it's touching how Tony seems so disgusted with WWE's treatment of JR at times. He's understated about it, but you can definitely see that he's mystified about how stuff like the disrespectful proctology bit even happened, how he could give a company everything that JR did, and get that in return.

Watching the Cody one now. I dont think people realize how smart he is from a business standpoint.
Dude is also one a huge nerd

www.youtube.com/watch?v=21XESlcvOzITony's video version is up. It's wild seeing a boss with actual, you know, plans. Apparently, MJF is signed 'til 2024 due to Tony making a commitment to him, and that in MAY, he'd already planned for Jericho and Jungle Boy's 10 minute challenge which is why they had Jungle Boy go winless for as long as they did, and the Scorpio Sky push was already laid out, from the tourney to Jericho match, as far back as that, so it'd seem Jericho was always intended to win the title, that Hangman's reception had nothing to do with that call being made. That does certainly make sense, though I wonder if it'd have changed things if people did latch on right away.

A couple of thoughts on Tony's (Khan) podcast:
Breaks my heart because the dude is talking about being profitable and a couple of weeks later this awful virus happens. I want AEW to be successful. The wrestling world needs competition. But this pandemic throws everything into doubt.
It's funny he talks about hating to do block tapings, but he may have to resort to that now to save costs.
Tony (Khan) always comes off as such a great fan. Which is another reason I support AEW. I feel like AEW doesn't treat me as an idiot or shove people down my throat without changing approaches.

The TV deal makes them profitable. It's unfortunate they'll take a hit on the live gates but I'd be more concerned if they still had the old TV deal and this still happened.

I doubt money is a big issue for AEW at the moment, since they were doing better than anticipated. This sucks, obviously, but I imagine it's nothing they can't handle.
Billy Gunn's episode is up. Had no idea that the Harris twins got him into wrestling, since he knew them from his highschool days. Also didn't know the rodeo stuff from the Smoking Gunn days was legitimately part of his background, albeit obviously cartoonified up for mid-90s WWF.

Taz and Aubrey drop like 400 F-bombs, more Taz than her. Taz is appreciative towards Vince and Kevin Dunn, but also makes it pretty clear why he left, and that he's having a much better time right now. Like, I won't spoil it for people, but if you're worried he's trying to keep a spot in WWE, don't. This is not the kind of stuff you end up saying if you are trying to butter WWE up.

Really enjoyed this episode. Thought Taz was refreshingly honest without going out his way to bash anyone.

Talking like this pretty much guarantees WWE will want him back they like to get people that talk negatively about them back under their thumb.
