I mean Tony can post as much as he likes and shit on the opposition if it makes him feel better.
I personally would focus on the AEW product and use that time to promote AEW but that's just me.

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. I like the one about going all out balls in.

Honestly, the latter is exactly what he's doing. Again, whether it's worthwhile or not is a different story, but I don't think any of this is unintentional.

It does but at the same time he's throwing shots at WWE which is getting him this attention. I personally don't think it's a worthwhile endeavor to go back and forth with people online especially if you're heading a promotion but that's just my take on it.

"You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your TV show. Do it more often." I dunno... I'm pretty sure that's shitting on Jinder. He certainly wouldn't be talking that way about a wrestler he respects. I don't think he was dissing Jinder personally, he was dissing the booking Jinder Mahal the wrestler has always been presented terribly, and that was his initial point with his original post. Basically saying "Yeah you sure showed us putting a wrestler on your show who never wins in a world title match", it could have been anyone with that booking, it happened to be Jinder Mahal I haven't heard a bad word spoken about Jinder personally so I doubt there's any actual animosity, Jinder seems genuinely cool with just about everyone in the back that I've ever seen. He essentially was just the wrestler in the position to Khan's point that they could have given any effort at all to present Jinder as a threat even before he got punked by The Rock, in reality he was basically invisible all year outside of managing Indus Sher until two weeks ago, and that sucks for him too, it's why this stuff doesn't land for people. "You really put AEW in our place putting Drew McIntyre in a big match on your TV show..." "You really put AEW in our place putting Shinsuke Nakamura in a big match on your TV show..." "You really put AEW in our place putting John Cena (no singles TV wins in six years) in a big match on your TV show..." ... he wouldn't say any of those things in a million years, no matter how they were being booked. It's got nothing to do with booking philosophy or wins and loss records, it was a cheap shot at an easy target.

It's got nothing to do with booking philosophy or wins and loss records, it was a cheap shot at an easy target. If Drew McIntyre or Shinsuke had not won a match in over a year, yes, I think he would tweet the same thing. He is a stats nerd and his booking has consistently been built around that. John Cena is the exception because he brings way more to the table then Drew, Shinsuke or Jinder. He only tweeted because he was commenting on the double standard of people complaining about HOOK calling out the world champion. HOOK has had only one loss ever, so there is a strong kayfabe logic to why he would want a world title shot. If people wanted to argue against TK, they should have mentioned that times he has given random title shots to people who didn't accumulate a lot of wins. That stuff would have at least been relevant to the discussion. Instead, we get Corey Graves and the Bollywood Boys sending out tweets like Jinder just got attacked.

The whole thing gave me a mild chuckle. Really don't care what these people do on twitter, I can't find it in myself to be "embarrassed for them" or find it "cringe". It's really not that serious at the end of the day. Like really, who could possibly care or get worked up so much by this stuff. It baffles me honestly

This is getting too meta with Bischoff coming at Meltzer with a WrestlingInc article...

Because one guy is a socially awkward weirdo and the other a giant grifter who needs income from dummies.

Nah, there are literally people out there who claim "I can't watch AEW, Tony Khan's twitter is cringe" or something to that effect. Granted, I think people who say stuff like that had no intention of watching AEW in the first place, so maybe it's a moot point. Either way, it's still twitter nonsense and not anything that seriously impacts anyone or any product in any kind of serious way, soooooooooo... Honestly, people who say that are either, like you said, people who aren't going to watch or are very narrow minded about the stuff they do watch. Like, if you said "Hey, I have a problem with AEW hiring Ric Flair and I won't watch for those reasons" then I'd be like "I don't like it either, bro, and I get it". But if the worst thing you can say about an owner is that his tweets are "cringe", then that puts him below pretty much every booker that's ever existed. I'd rather his tweets are a bit naff and goofy then being total dickweeds.

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. do you know the amount of soluble fiber you would have to intake to be able to do this, let alone all in one go? the flexibility one would need to use to not only shit but move in the shape of the figure 8? one straight line wouldn't be too difficult but when you're factoring in curves and angles, that is when you're heading into professional territory to me. with that being said yes i do think it is time the unamericans gimmick is brought back, thank you.
