I'm so desperate for something fresh on Raw I'm actually interested in Jinder Mahal now, and I thought his WWE Title reign was terrible. Dude’s fine. Yeah, he’s a bit shit at the actual wrestling and he probably shouldn’t have been booked to win the world title, but he’s a perfectly serviceable lower card heel. You need those kinds of guys on a roster, otherwise way better talents will get pushed down into them and people get mad. Yeah, I'd be fine with dude as a lower card goober, having him as champ and challenging the world champ? No thanks. When he's trying to be SUPER SERIOUS, he's boring as dish soap. Give us goofy band mate Jinder.

Tony's about to remind Jinder that he doesn't have any five star matches

I'm all for Jinder taking that belt off Seth even though I'm 99% sure it won't happen lol. Jinder putting more eyes on this match is a positive for him.

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. It looks like Khan’s first post wasn’t the reply to USA, it was the separate post made comparing Hook and Jinder.

I like Tony and all, but this shit is just cringy. He's a terrible public face/voice for the company sometimes. Tony Khan is still a bitch.

His comparison wasn't wrong and it does make me wish WWE built up their challengers in a meaningful way, even if it was like winning matches on Main Event or something, even NXT. Just something other then how Jinder was presented before getting this shot.

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'm not saying Tony should have responded, but anyone thinking this is just Tony Khan looking dumb is just trying to shit on AEW at this point. USA Network bringing up the cagematch ratings is the exact same "Can't keep the name out of your mouth" energy people try to throw at Khan about WWE. This is a competition, they're always gonna both be constantly thinking about the other, even if people don't wanna admit that WWE does, they definitely do lol It does give Jinder some meme cred and all but I doubt it makes any difference in the actual show or rating, none of this ever does. I think you’re getting worked up over nothing bro. Tony’s gotta take it if he’s gonna dish it. A lot of us are just having fun because it’s Jinder that’s got him steamed. And on another post, call me out for possibly living under a rock, but I don’t remember WWE ever takeing shots besides “Pissant company” and “secondary company” with the later not even being malicious imo. AEW from my vantage point has done it more. This is Tony being immature and I’d say the same thing if HHH was doing it too. Just tread carefully, you’ve seemed to take the effort to not let differences in fandom lead to trouble here since your return.

Jinder is a "cry me a river" tweet away from winning a world title the next seven Andre Battle Royals

If you had no wrestling knowledge or context about Jinder's past, you'd believe he was the real deal. Dude can carry himself like a main eventer.
f*** it, give him the belt

Honestly, I love TK's Twitter rages. It's pro wrestling; it's not like grown men aren't going to act like children, regardless of the outlet. This way, I can laugh at it.
That said, this would be more fun if it wasn't coming from the dude who got bitch handled by Rock, but whatev.

quoting myself from this threadWWE & AEW begin plans to work together starting with talent exchanges leading to a joint company ppv. I'm going to be annoyed if I was a year out on this, and why does it have to be Jinder vs Hook as the first match?
