I just keep watching confused KENTA be completely eclipsed behind Bo Dallas. And now I'm stuck watching Fred Rosser slide into frame and angrily point at Axel.

The fact that we have the same topic on both the AEW and WWE sections with an equal page count is an amazing thing lol

Because as much as Vince is a horrible rapist disgusting piece of shit as a human, as a BUSINESSMAN, he got the the perception is that he did it largely as a f***ing mature adult. And over and over and over and over, from tweets to scrums to virtually ANY of his mic work, Tony by comparison comes across like a man child. What a joke. the notion that Vince was known as or had the perception of being a mature adult is not accurate in the least. Vince was known in the 80s as being petty and childish as hell and they never changed. Vince was never known to be a mature adult and the things Vince (and the promoters of that era) used to do is way more childish and petty than random tweets today. Anyway, this isn’t a Vince thing and I have no interest in having this convo about him, I get why he’s a piece of shit. Done. All I was saying was this childish online behaviour by TK only fans the flames of people online who wanna find any excuse to make TK look bad and other business owners look good by comparison. And all I’m driving at is that if Tony would just shut his f***ing mouth and maybe hire a PR person who can properly smack the living shit out of him, that stuff wouldn’t happen.

His behavior, as well is this whole thing, is severely overblown. The people using this would just find something else to bash him with.

I like Tony and all, but this shit is just cringy. He's a terrible public face/voice for the company sometimes. But Seth is the fighting champion, he's mentioned that multiple times, and Jinder just provoked him into getting a match. That's it, there's no deeper meaning. It's a filler title defense against somebody who won't be hurt by a loss.

I dont know that that is true outside the wrestling bubble. Like, to the general, casual audience and certainly to wallstreet and such, Vince was always seen as the professional wrestling guru and top business man. Doesnt matter that it isnt true, it's about perception, and the public perception of Vince was always pretty positive - Tony doesnt have the success or longevity of Vince personally associated with him, so he does run a bigger risk of people seeing him in a negative light because that's the perception his silly Twitter shit can cause

Jaguars fans also apparently aren't that fond of him. Vince did have the better public perception.

Honestly, putting aside the fact that Jinder was a failure as a champion (he was responsible for some of Smackdown’s lowest ratings at the time, which was hard to do considering how consistent they were), I do genuinely feel sorry for him during his reign because it rapidly came off like they threw him to the wolves with no real idea about how he could have a main event match or the sort of story that would make his rise make sense to that audience because it never was justified. It just happened. With that stuff in mind, of course it was going to suck. Also didn’t help that, at the Shareholders meeting not long after he lost, Stephanie basically said “Yeah, he was basically champion because we wanted to go into India and he shit the bed with that” and I’m sorry, you basically made a shit filled bed, told the guy to lie in it and then blamed him for that bed being filled with shit. And now they just decide the guy should get a title match in 2024 because *shrug* and he’ll get blamed for nobody caring likely. They also booked every defense he had to end with (Insert challenger's name here) has Jinder beat but gets sidetracked beating the piss out of the Singh brothers, Kallas/roll-up, match over. It's like Roman's defenses, except way shitter and with a guy who was 1/10,0000,000th as over I've said this before, but I feel for Jinder because the dude tried. He also seems like a good dude and is way, way more personable/charismatic than they allow him to be

So... What's the Cagematch rating for the Rollins/Jinder match for the NXT title? Legit answer, about a six out of ten. So it wasn't even that bad...

Can we have a 'wrestling twitter is at it again' thread in Wrest to quarantine things like this in future?

After reading some of this thread, I kinda want Jinder to win the title for the lols. It's not like it's an actual meaningful world titles so I say bring the chaos.

Why would someone go on the internet and tell lies about this man? I still wish he would've smacked his head on one of the traffic lights. That would've made the reign so much more worth it.

And all I’m driving at is that if Tony would just shut his f***ing mouth and maybe hire a PR person who can properly smack the living shit out of him, that stuff wouldn’t happen. "Vince used to be a mature businessman" "Actually, there were many instances where he wasn't" "I'm not here to talk about Vince!" No offense but this and other goalpost moving in this thread makes it seem like some of you are more interested in trying to rile up AEW fans than even trying to be logical anymore (I mean there is literally a TK hate account in this thread). Vince was extremely petty, especially during the two main boom periods. If Twitter was around then...he probably wouldn't have known how to use it, but if he did he would have posted stuff that puts TK to shame. He only became the "professional and mature" businessman years later when the competition dried up, and probably because he was too busy being a rapist. Anyway, this is about TK so I won't derail any further. Just a reminder that he has a long road ahead of him to even be close to Vince level and I hope some of you here would have had the same energy back then.

Last time I checked, Jinder Mahal is a former WWE World Champion. What does Tony Khan do? Run a 9 and 8 football team, big whoop!
