My take is that sometimes when TK shitposts like this it’s at best funny and at worst harmless in the grand scheme of things and not worth writing many paragraphs about.
That being said, I fully expect the discussion about this to reach ten pages by midnight EST.

Someone reset the thing. It has now been _ days since the last time Tony's Twitter put the focus on himself over any of his companies wrestlers/stories. As soon as I saw that USA tweet this morning I jokingly thought to myself Tony won't be able to let that go. He really couldn't though. He's like the kid in school who constantly takes little digs at you then when you jab back they get mad and tell the teacher. WWE probably takes 1 shot at AEW for every 10 shots AEW takes at WWE but he's somehow the one who plays the victim. Is it a requirement to be a wrestling promoter that you have to be incredibly insecure and thin-skinned? Is Scott D'Amore like this? He's like the highest profile one you never really hear much from. He literally put the focus on HOOK when comparing the Jinder situation so I can at least say he wasn't trying to make it about himself, he was pointing out why he thought the booking was dumb (And in fairness it is, even if people think he shouldn't have said it) And no WWE does not take 1 shot for every AEW's 10 imo, both of these companies have taken plenty of thinly veiled shots at one another, and that's gonna be the nature of the beast since they're the top two of what they do in the US, like any competing brand. Every wrestling promoter is gonna be some type of carny, Khan's at least someone who tries to do a lot of outward good, but no one who was on wrestling online communities and AOL Chats when they were a kid now having the power to run the number 2 promotion in the world is going to be completely perfect, dude's one of us, that's why we get moments like these lol

I mean Tony replied to an official network account that decided to throw shade for some reason that was replying to f***ing Raj Giri of all people so I don't really give a shit, that said the internet will and will decry this as a reason AEW is dying or already dead and that wrestling should just go back to being a monopoly again or something. Also as much as people will think it's cringe that Tony responded, he does have a point. Jinder could have at least idk won some matches or done a single thing on WWE this year outside of getting absolutely obliterated by The Rock? I get the World Title's gimmick now is that it's an open challenge, and it ain't against Jinder as a person or a wrestler, but they didn't build him up and the match is in fact a forgone conclusion and it's hard to find any interest in it at all because of that. But like...should it be Tony calling out the logic gaps on a WWE show? I'm not sure. Now everyone on the internet is making "don't hinder Jinder!" jokes, not "Send Hook" jokes. It doesn't do anybody good. I'm not saying USA Network's Twitter was right, to be clear. I think a lot of the shit-stirring from WWE’s side lately seems to come from the TV channel accounts, not so much WWE themselves. Getting a bit big for their britches because they’re not employed by WWE themselves so they don’t have to eat the consequences of that.

So what you're saying is Tony should delegate all shit stirring to the TNT and TBS Twitters? The real wrestling wars will be waged through Cable Brand Twitters!

Yeah, maybe they need to take a step back or whatever, but I honestly found the jab to be funny. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment and I feel like Tony's response wasn't in kind. Just my view of it.

What the hell did I miss while taking a nap? And what is the Cagematch tweet that he's tweeting in response to?

From my perspective I just think the same energy should be kept from those official accounts making jabs on WWEs end to when AEW might make a WWE comment, because when it comes to the online discourse, or if Khan makes a tongue-in-cheek jab, it never is and is always taken as a serious offense. Not saying this situation from Khan is the same mind you just in general. I guess that's just the norm with this stuff anymore, and how negative the perception of AEW online is lately.

And to be fair, if Triple H or HBK were trying to dunk on an AEW on TNT intern tweet, I’d post the HBK struggles with AOL gif. Like, it’s a shitpost from an intern, live and let live dude.

I'll never take that dude seriously 😂 Dude knows how to run successful businesses and made AEW more popular then any projection thought possible, but is also an online mark from the days of the Attitude Era and ECW So... I doubt anyone actually ever took him very seriously as a person lol

Tony, your life would have so much peace if you just ignored social media comments. On the other hand it's harmless wackiness for us to talk about.

I think like...if the tone of the tweet was different it may have been better received. Like the tone of the tweet to Bischoff was kind of snarky and sarcastic - funny - whereas the tweet about Hook vs. Jinder felt more like typical IWC over analysis. But yeah, it's all silly shit at the end of the day. I just wish the dude didn't give everybody ammo.
