What doesn’t help Khan’s cause here is that the last time someone was called a “Visionary” on a wrestling program, it was Seth Rollins going through a messiah complex, forming his own cult and literally trying to blind people (including one guy who is still selling it in THIS territory). It’s not something that can just get thrown out there willy-nilly to be taken at face value.

Yeah but for every criticism, ten more people will stan for his shit. That's not even getting into how much bloodier his hands are. Maybe at-large on social media it’s like that, but here on this site I don’t think there are many “stans”, and certainly not outnumbering criticisms. Netwide, yes. Though even here he used to get that treatment, thankfully it's died down.

This thread being serious is wild. I thought it’d be memes and jokes because a silly thing happened.

This thread being serious is wild. I thought it’d be memes and jokes because a silly thing happened. I expected to come in here to laugh at the absurdity and make stupid jokes. This should be a funny thread, not something to get upset about. This forum is so at odds with each other it can really take the fun out of the absurdity that is wrestling. Of course this shit doesn't matter. At the end of the day the vast majority of what we discuss here doesn't matter but we do it anyways. I dunno if they're actually attempting to slow burn turn Tony Khan heel with MJF, this line, and the line about Hangman not getting a title shot anytime soon but I think they're just minor mistakes. If they are actually trying to make him some odd heel though, I want this to grow every week like Omega's entrance. The man with the 10/10 vision, THE VISIONARY: "TOTALLY TUBULAR" T.K. has graced us with a thirteenth singles title! Finally, the people of the Arctic can lace up their boots and get in the ring!

I do think he's paving the way for the debut of a heel character, not anytime soon but some point in 2022, the MJF stuff is foreshadowing it and stuff like this contributes. Maybe the criticism of his twitter antics has planted the seeds.
I generally agree with the consensus that'll it'll go down badly due to his awkwardness and overuse of heel bosses in wrestling but his pre taped heel character on impact was better than it had any right to be and the evolution of tepid, dorky announcer Vince to the Mr McMahon character in the 90s show its a skill that can be learned so maybe it'll be okay. A big maybe I grant you.

There's not a lot that could slow down my AEW watching habits, but Tony Khan: heel authority figure would do it.

"visionary /ˈvɪʒ(ə)n(ə)ri/
adjective thinking about or planning the future with imagination or wisdom.
noun a person with original ideas about what the future will or could be like."
I think that describes Khan and his booking of AEW. Nothing in there that says that the imagination or original ideas have to be good.

I think that describes Khan and his booking of AEW. Nothing in there that says that the imagination or original ideas have to be good. And the dude does plan out certain stories like a year ahead if not more, including the champions, so he does in fact love booking 3 or 4 steps ahead, good or bad.

Are we making threads to like... nitpick every single little thing AEW does lately? Because holy shit it really feels like that's been the mood the last few days... Like of all things to give a shit about, this is one I feel like isn't a big deal whatsoever? I just don't get it I guess, it's whatever. 100%. This forum has become super negative. Reddit and twitter are super positive compared to it. One negative thread after another.

Which is weird because AEW's product is really good, sure there are always gonna be a few things you can nitpick about anything but damn AEW is the best wrestling product going.

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

100%. This forum has become super negative. Reddit and twitter are super positive compared to it. One negative thread after another. Which is weird because AEW's product is really good, sure there are always gonna be a few things you can nitpick about anything but damn AEW is the best wrestling product going. I agree, though New Japan and Impact have some nice stuff going on, I really think AEW's the best consistent wrestling product in the world right now There have been a lot of people hung up on certain things lately, the new AAC belt existing, Kyle O Reily winning the Battle Royale, the sudden distasteful loathing of Adam Cole that felt like it came out of complete nowhere, Forbidden Door's matches (Also having to do with Adam Cole), the women's division in general, etc, it's disheartening, but I haven't really loved AEW any less. It's a bummer to see the only place I really post about wrestling being pretty cynical to the product currently, but I really think AEW, while not perfect, is still doing so many things right, especially compared to other companies, which makes those missteps, largely forgivable or given appropriate patience to improve, in my eyes anyway.

Hoping he does this at Fulham as well because that would go down really well.
I mean they just got promoted though so their fans might have softened on the Khan’s recently.
