Exactly ! He brought this himself this time. The mental gymnastics some do to defend every single thing he does that I've seen around the internet is ridiculous, but not surprising. He had a good night Tuesday night ( outside of the Juice promo ),He should of left it at that. But Tony Khan is going to Tony Khan I guess. You think this is insane you should see how people still defend Vince McMahon. And most people here, myself included, didn't think that last tweet from him was necessary, because as you said, the night was fine. I get what he was going for with "Two ratings streaks came to an end" and then he was cheeky with it being Cena and Taker, but people I think just wanna move on from this, it's not fun to discuss anymore at this point. You’re proving him right. That first parts whstaboutism

That first parts whstaboutism I wasn't exactly disagreeing, I'm just saying either side of the coin will defend who runs those companies in the most pretzel twisting of ways. People going out of their way to defend Tony Khan in a baffling way isn't exactly an AEW thing this is just how everyone is with promoters they're fond of. Even with "Papa H" and Shawn. I can understand why people would defend Khan though, but even I said he just should have left that tweet in drafts lol

Yeah, he had that stupid "Bald assholes" tweet when Triple H and HBK hadn't said a damn word. Responded to somebody saying he was gonna watch NXT over Dynamite with "Who the f*** cares". Went off on the Cagematch ratings again. Said HBK shouldn't win Booker of the Year. And then had this tweet. He doesn't make those tweets and people wouldn't be talking about it. Hell had that last tweet been "Combined both wrestling shows did 1.5 million viewers against baseball playoffs and the NHL, it's a great time to be a fan", nobody would clown him. Exactly ! He brought this himself this time. The mental gymnastics some do to defend every single thing he does that I've seen around the internet is ridiculous, but not surprising. He had a good night Tuesday night ( outside of the Juice promo ),He should of left it at that. But Tony Khan is going to Tony Khan I guess. Maybe it’s just me, but I often see the opposite end of mental gymnastics for Tony Khan on the internet, where they go out of their way to say something negative about him even in a positive context. There’s a weird genre of Reddit post that says “Now let me be clear, Tony Khan is no saint but stuff like the Brodie tribute show sure was nice.” It’s specifically prefaced like he committed some unspoken travesty before a compliment comes in.

I know in full actuality this tweet means nothing and as a singular situation it likely meant not much to him too...Maybe nothing more than a smirking dig but the tweet itself stands at 4.8M viewers currently which is a whole hell of a lot of people viewing, reacting, and discussing this tweet and the others this week.
Khan never stops so it could be a good motivational pivot to step back and buckle down...
I mean damn...Winter is coming

What's this about Taker? Has he done/said something stupid?

I all of this to end up with a rumor that losing in the ratings caused Tony Khan to lose his mind and start attending shows dressed like a Roman Emperor and dictating all his booking decisions written on a scroll including; Griff Garrison wins the World Championship, Harley Cameron wins both the Women's and TBS Titles, Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa win the tag team championships.

Now tony just because I'm bald and a precious fan of Ken Anderson doesn't mean you needed to target me with that bald asshole tweet.
Fo me I only contribute to this stuff if I think of something funny. I'm not her for discourse very often it's just what's fun or funny to me
Also I don't know where else to post this but every since she picked up the nick nametimeless, I can't stop thinking and humming the priceless theme for dibiase Jr replacing priceless with timeless

What's this about Taker? Has he done/said something stupid? Outside of the posters mentioning treatment of co-workers everything else is political and shouldn't really be allowed. I would say I am probably similarly minded to the posters criticising Taker but rules are rules. I'm not sure a poster saying similar about a wrestler with opposing views to Taker would get the same leeway - it could just as easy have been missed by mods if course.

I kind of envy Tony. Being that delusional must be bliss.

I look at it like this
Yeah Tony should just focus on his own stuff rather than spending time on Twitter tweeting stuff that is either stupid or sarcastic which doesn’t come across in the tweets and therefore makes him look stupid anyway
On the other hand, the dude has several businesses to run and still finds to find the time to tweet said stupid stuff which I almost admire (almost not actually)
More than anything I can’t understand the energy people devote to arguing back and forward on Twitter etc. I have my thought and then move onto my next one and probably won’t think about this subject again (Sometimes the next thought does take a while to be fair ha)

Also, I love that Bischoff's wade in being like "Oh, he's such an embarrassment for this" and brother, I could pinpoint several Nitros where you and Hulk Hogan were drunk as skunks on live goddamn television. Sometimes even with Dennis Rodman, likely dodging Chicago Bulls practice to do it. The right you have for saying anything like that is not even zero, it's in the negatives. Oh, and Russo’s said that Khan should be acting better as a businessman and not put himself over as the main character because that’s what the talent is for. …Am I being pranked? Is Jeremy Beadle going to come back from the dead to reveal this is a really elaborate joke on me specifically? Am I supposed to take anything seriously like that? Did WCW 1999-2000 just not happen? Did the start of TNA not happen? What are we doing? Like, look, I’m sorry, the fact there are people still talking about silly tweets several days later is baffling to me. Is this the way we as fans avoid actual things going on in the world? And I’m not a guy who usually says that because escape is something I find important for mental health reasons but come on now.

Personally, I look at things on a tweet-by-tweet basis. The shots at Vince were fine because that is TK punching up and honestly Vince's creepy ass deserves it. The Taker/Cena tweet is a stat nerd being a stat nerd, but considering the timing, it was a bad look. It just comes off as petty and searching for a win. My biggest issue is with TK responding to random twitter accounts. Those people are either trolling or don't have enough influence to matter.

I thought it said that Carol Burnett Outfront was #33 and was wondering just how far back in pop culture I really am.

I like Tony and think he gets a lot of unnecessary hate but may be time to log off twitter for a bit

He seems to be still going at it
One year since his mom went to the Mayo Clinic and thankfully is doing well. He alleges AEW talent came to him saying WWE was tampering so this makes it personal for him
That’s malicious allegations and if he has proof of that he should be mad.

I hope someone is talking to him because his emotions have got the best of him all week and he’s going to say some shit he regrets This isn’t trolling or trying to draw ratings. It’s personal

I am sorry that happened to his mom and glad she is doing well but if WWE did this why isn’t he suing them for everything they got? I think because then they’d have to out the specific talents that got approached and whether some of them may or may not have actually tried to leave. Possibly? I don’t know.
