Tony Khan could take a massive shit in the shape of a figure 8 on the American flag, and we'd be blamed for reacting.

I feel like this was Tony doing his own kind of "marketing". Jinder saw it and probably thought he could jump in on it as he is "in the business" (along with the others) and here we are. I think on the surface it looks childish, but I think there was a purpose. Yeah, there's a reason all the tweets have "be sure to watch Dynamite on TBS!" or whatever at the end; it's now Wednesday, this has generated some kind of weird buzz, and some people might end up tuning in now. I'm sure he was annoyed at what he saw as the "double standard" he brought up, but the end goal is promotion. Doesn't mean I find it interesting or necessary, but is what it is. Some are trying to frame it in terms of Mone coming in as either drumming up interest in Dynamite before her big debut, or as him having an “outburst” because he found out he didn’t get Mone.

There is a narrative sims are trying to push that you can’t criticize TK/AEW which isn’t true. There is plenty of criticism on here and healthy discussion about it. Just that some, myself included, feel this whole thing is seriously overblown. Yes, his tweets can be cringe and he probably shouldn’t have sent them. But the discourse is making this out to be some huge controversy when it’s literally nothing and will be forgotten about in a day.

If I had the power to make one rule on this here forum it would be stop constantly bringing up other places and their dumb opinions. I swear this happens all the time. People call something dumb/funny. Others say it's ridiculous how people are taking this so seriously. When it's asked who are the people saying this is a huge story rather than just a dumb tweet the answer is invariably oh it doesn't happen much here but somewhere else online it's happening. And I've never understood how you can't just go confront those people on whatever platform they're on rather than constantly bringing their crap here. Or even better just ignore them. I don't consider myself a particularly social media savvy person so if I'm able to curate my stuff so that I don't see any of the dumbest takes it really can't be that difficult. The amount of people though who go on and on about what they've seen on Twitter or Reddit though and it's just like at a point you're choosing to read that stuff. It's easy to avoid if you really want to. Bingo. Surely if anyone on here wanted to read one side of a Reddit/X argument, they'd go to those places? This thread is pages and pages of posts arguing with people who aren't here. I get where all of you are coming from in the grand scheme of things, but I find this argument/discussion to be a little bizarre when it inevitably gets brought up in a thread that is specifically about a Tweet. Like, the very purpose of this thread is to discuss something that happened on Twitter...of course people are going to reference the way people are reacting on Twitter when the thread itself is about a Tweet.

Breathtaking. We're 11 pages in and we've haven't gotten the classic line "It feels like SOME people in here only care about this because they WANT to criticize AEW!!!" We're making progress {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Now we just need to not turn it into a discussion about food.

I don't think there's anything logical about the idea that discussing a Tony Khan tweet has to include proxy-arguments against random other people's comments on the same platform. But regardless, people generally don't even say 'people on Twitter are saying...' they talk as if they are directly addressing posts on here. And then when questioned where those posts are, that's when we fall back to 'oh well not on here etc.'.

So, what is everyone's favourite sandwich? I gotta go with a BLT on nice malted bread with smoked bacon, a touch of mayo, a touch of ketchup. Each slice toasted lightly on one side.

I don't even know what this discussion is about anymore. Nobody on here seems to be saying that AEW is doomed because of Tony's posts but nobody seems to be cheerleading Tony and thinking he's awesome either.
It's just different shades of stances in the middle. It's unprofessional, but not a big deal. It's not important, but is kinda dumb.

We could turn this into an Anti Eric Bischoff thread and recap Bischoff failed ideas like turning Abyss into Abyssmania because Hulk said "ABYSS IS OUR JOHN CENA BROTHER".

Gonna throw this banger on in the background while I go read through the rest of this pissing contest between TK, Bischoff, and apparently Meltzer.

These are certainly a series of events that happened.
If anything I'm more interested in Jinder than probably I ever have been.
And I like 2 Nickleback songs.
