This sadly reads like I got black friends too from him like bro if you have to name drop black talent, you ain't doing nothing and then you say you cut her cause she wasn't good at that TK, black people stick together Like, I know this was clear from his Jaguars and Fulham days, just take away his phone at times like this, get good PR on board to respond to this stuff or even…like, don’t? It’s not worth responding to. Even a “We’ll take that into consideration” will seem naff to people. Just use next year and the years afterwards to do it, you’ll likely get a new deal in 2023 so you might as well, right? Just…come on, now. He didn't have to address Swole at all and for him to do this is def being big petty You don't use the I got black friends defense to a legit gripe people have noticed. Let your other wrestlers clap back at her but don't you do that from your position. TK can be funny but the man is petty

I like how all the talent he mentioned have been in AEW longer than 45-year-old Bobby Fish yet have never been hotshotted into featured singles matches against CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.

That weird PWInsider report that a lot of talent responded to negatively, sure, go for it, because it basically shows that story was full of holes. This from someone who seemed to still enjoy their time in the company? Like, not great, man. Go after your Disco Infernos or Jim Cornettes or Brad Sherwoods or whoever.

With McMahon you just get reports about how he beat the shit out of Michael Cole for not squirting ketchup and mayo on his philly cheesesteak, TK is out here on twitter saying people he fired were shit wrestlers. Completely new approach. You wouldn't get Gedo doing a fortnite floss on tiktok with a timer in the background to when he can release Brian Cage, but you catch get Tony Khan doing it

What stuck out the most about that TK response is the fact that he didn't say anything else about her concerns regarding their women's division or how it is backstage or any other problems. What he got mad at is the fact she brought up the diversity issue and then he gave that stupid ass response. That's been the first time I can recall him ever commenting on how their diversity is in AEW and this is what he responds with.
He's commented on the women before, he's commented on how it is backstage and the first time he really speaks about diversity issues he says something like this. That says that he didn't see that there's an issue (like we said in that original thread). The difference between then and now? Back then I and many others said that if it was brought to his attention he'd potentially fix it. Dude didn't though, he said that stupid response and he thinks things are fine given, well, he responded this way.
Dude's a clown.

could someone take Khan's twitter off him, he's cringy for his soccer team, but this takes the cake

Honestly, the speed of the response is an even worse look.
So many other things, you take your time with but let a black woman call you out, you need to respond IMMEDIATELY. Honestly, truly embarrassing

Britt Baker retweeted Khans tweet. Yep and that's dumb of her. Man, Britt Baker was trash during her first year and yet they kept pushing her until she eventually developed and became what she is today and yet now Tony's saying that Swole's wrestling didn't improve after 1 year? They spent so much time trying to get Britt over and trying to make her improve and it eventually worked. That same wasn't applied to Swole. She's been given special privileges since day one so it's no surprise she just doesn't get it.

So, do they just not have PR or…? Cause I would delete that ASAP if I was Tony. Again, these folks tell on themselves. TK has been a magical honeymoon of fan reception and overall love Pimp, you haven't felt the fans wrath and if you think people going take this shit lying down you got another thing coming.

And shoutout to Big Swole for saying what needs to be said about what's truly going on in that company. We've said they've had diversity issues and it's a problem. We've said their women's division was trashy trash. This is really the first time someone from there's breaking down the details as to what's really going on negatively so now anytime someone brings up a problem well hey, we've got this for reference. They've got problems just like other companies have problems but now we can see what those problems are and we can hopefully start more of a discourse so they can address it. She's trending too so yeah, this is gonna get some press. Much needed because the quicker more people see what we've been seeing and saying since Day 1 the quicker TK will act. TK might be good but we know he's all about the money, he's a businessman. Let's talk about it and bring it to his attention. At the end of the day it'll be good for business to get this fixed. I’d like for him not to respond the same way he did to that one reporter who questioned him. I hate jinxing things
