Tony Kahn needs to lay off the yayo and delete his Twitter. I’m not even joking, this man isn’t well.

People are stating that he is also contacting people via DM as well. This needs to end. The person in question here is followed by AEW, Cena, Jericho and more and is local to the setup in Jacksonville. I get wanting to be accessible to fans... but this is why it's just not a good idea. I absolutely (well, not 100%, but I think 99.9%) know Tony Khan means well and is a good person... but as others or said, he's not coming off well right now on Twitter.

Those Travis DMs seem like a bunch of nothing, and like was said here, TK is letting MJF handling the situation. I don't think the way he flippantly remarked about TMZ exactly helped. TMZ sucks but it doesn't really matter who was quoted, it's about what was on his television. He basically handwaved it off and didn't actually discuss anything. Basically just went "yeah I know you didn't like it. You tweeted me twice." Not exactly opening a dialogue about it. People said he's leaving MJF to it, and I'm sur MJF is fine with it but it's entirely unfair for the company and Tony to be silent and to leave it all up to Max to respond.
Remember that Vickie Guerrero promo when she called Rosa an immigrant and needed to go back to Mexico? He was silent for that as well and the following week they retconned out of the existence.

I guess two things can be true in this situation - The people attacking Tony Khan's Mother or making it personal are scumbags, bringing up WWE contracts or not you don't need to attack a dude's Mom, soft spot for me I guess, I love my Mom and I get it lol - Tony should just go quiet for a bit outside of just promoting the show, this doesn't sound like it's fun for him right now and it went from being trolly and harmless to all sides just pushing it too far to the point it needs to stop and everyone needs to move on to something else Also people need to stop psychoanalyzing a man they know nothing about and read through a limited scope. Yes he needs to log off, yeah he seems like he could be stressed, but people saying he needs therapy or this or that, like... we don't know that, we could speak from experience or try and read patterns but it's very uncomfortable I guess just from my perspective that people are leaping to what Tony Khan needs to do outside of the obvious which is just put the phone down for a bit Which is also why "Kha loses it" in the OP still bugs me, at most the tweets are dumb or shouldn't have been sent, the dude didn't "lose it" and go on some unhinged rant imo. I love my mom too. I have had dummies on social media say horrific things about both my parents. I didn't even respond. As soon as you respond, these dopes "win". Tony Khan is a public figure that should know that responding to stupid people is a no-win situations. Block or mute and move on. As for people psychoanalyzing him... isn't that kind of the purpose of this message board; to discuss what's going on in AEW. Unfortunately, this is a big thing going on within AEW. I don't understand why this is such a problem.

The contract tampering debate is an interesting one as well because to my knowledge this has never held up right outside of the Hall lawsuit which was more about portrayal than tampering?
It's crazy to think that the majority of these wrestlers aren't friends or at least acquaintances that can easily talk to each other:
"Hey find out what Tony/H will give me"
With that said the fact that anyone said anything ever about his mom is absolutely disgusting.
I just lost mine in August and I would have been furious about being attacked too in that position of vulnerability but burning his good will isn't it either.

Going to suggest the title be renamed from: AEW Title Tuesday Ratings, to AEW: Tony Khan's No Good Horrible Bad Week

First off I'm sorry to hear about your Mum, I'm very lucky that I still have mine around but her health isn't great and I fear for the day I have to say goodbye. As for 'contract tampering', it happens in every sport. Football clubs, for example, 98% of the time only put a bid in to another club for a player once they know they want to join and personal terms are pretty much agreed.

Really dont want the discussion being derailed but this what TK meant when he said he hate this kind of fans
This is an example of an idiot... he's just hoping for a response from TK.

I don't understand why this is such a problem. As someone with mental health issues, I generally feel uncomfortable with people playing armchair therapist. We really don't know what people are dealing or not dealing with behind closed doors. Like stress can do a number on people's mental state without it being a sign of something else.

I wish I could tell you that Tony Khan had a Happy Birthday, and the WWE trolls let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but Twitter is no fairy tale - Morgan Freeman.

Well, then the thread should probably be shut down... I think it's assumed that no one here (at least publically) is a doctor and nothing being said is medical advice. We are discussing what TK is doing on Twitter and how it doesn't look good. If we can't do that... shut the thread down.

That kind of thing has existed for years and years, only the names have changed.

Obviously I don't know Tony but I think he just needs a holiday.

So why shut down the thread?

We are discussing what TK is doing on Twitter and how it doesn't look good. If we can't do that... shut the thread down. We can actively do that without discussing his mental health state You can actively say the tweets are dumb, or he needs to log off, etc, without trying to psychoanalyze if he's in need of therapy or mentally unwell Not all discussion of Tony Khan has to boil down to "He needs psychiatric help" nor does all discussion end if you don't say that within it.

All this talk about taking a break and what topics/viewpoints are valid for discussion actually made me realize I need a nice long break from here. So something positive did come from Tony’s tweets!
See you whenever, FAN.
