I like AEW but even I van admit Tony is an asshole. From his interactions with Jags and Fulham fans you can tell.

Being humble isn’t his finest quality. To be expected, though.

Unless he gouges out one of MJFs eyeballs, he ain't no Seth Rollins.

If I went from fan to wrestling promoter with the top show on his night on cable, I'd have a weekly segment where people from my favorite bands say nice things about me and it'd all be bands nobody knows, so you'd get members of Oceans of Slumber being held at gunpoint to compliment someone they have never heard of and nobody would get anything out of it except me. The guys from Visigoth would show up and people would stop watching the show because they've never heard of Visigoth but the bassist is being coerced into saying I'm a genius and should be president of earth. So like, I kind of get it.

I mean…we DO have a general “topics that don’t require their own thread” thread don’t we?
Maybe that should be stickied? 🤷🏼♂️

He does that enough with the Jags and Fulham so for me I commend him for bringing a good product but he has issues he needs to work on

I mean.. he started a promotion that became that first #2 in the world since 2001.
Before they even had a show.
Everything you see is what Tony Khan built. Out of pocket. Wether it was some or all of his Dad's or not, he built an infrastructure. He's over the creative, the signings and all the other deals involved.
I guess I can see where the word "visionary" might seem a little hyperbolic, but what he's managed to pull off is pretty incredible.

Khan coming in as a regular and being an obnoxious heel would get them a million viewers weekly.

I laughed.
Hopefully it’s just fuel for the MJF storyline and it isn’t just Tony being full of himself.

AEW is great but Tony is totally cringey. But without the charisma of Vince.
