This entire thing is a stupid mess but I sorta wanna see how it plays out. Two threads with multiple pages about some spat involving TK and Jinder of all people. No one looks good, and I don’t even mean that in a tragic way as if we’re talking Jericho vs Hausman. It’s hilariously bad. And who the eff is Hook and why should I care? HOOK not Hook. Put respect in his name. But he is Taz' son and one of aew most promising talent ,he has a very crisp offense and different personality in ring , so this should be a showcase match for him |

Because it's the IWC and any time Tony Khan breathes it's the worst thing to ever happen to the planet in some circles. It also causes people to repeatedly, unnecessarily, vehemently defend TK and AEW for no apparent reason other than to reiterate their strong support for them. Tony doesn't need defenders. He needs to shut up and be a professional businessman which is something he's struggled with mightily. Not disputing that it brings out the absolute worst in some people on both ends. I can't say he's struggled at being a professional businessman when it's mattered in terms of getting AEW actual deals and traction when it's mattered, and signing wrestlers If his attitude stopped him from getting talents or deals it'd be a real issue, then he'd be Dixie Carter or Billy Pumpkins. If he's a troll on Twitter, at least he confines it to Twitter. And anything Tony has ever said on Twitter doesn't compare to what Vince McMahon and other wrestling promoters in the 80's and 90's actually did not only to their talents on a daily basis but on their actual on screen product so... I'll take Tony Khan as he is, frankly, not perfect, annoying online, but... well not that. |

*Dragon walks into office coming back home after his excursion to Japan- proud and triumphant as the American dragon has ever looked.
"Hello guys" Danielson says as he puts down his briefcase, people think it's full of legal stuff but it's just his ring gear.
The office remains silent as the lawyers look around at each silently.
"What did I miss?" Danielson asks as he looks around the room.
Nobody replies.
Danielson looks down at his phone for first time in weeks and looks at the missed calls. A deep sigh slowly releases as he thinks of where to start.
He looks back up and a lawyer hands him a overly handled manila folder with a red stamp marked in bold text: 'Fines'. Danielson opens the skinny fold, only a single pages awaits inside, the dragon sees the bosses' photo and profile and immediately closes it again.
"f***! Again!?"

I don't mean this as whataboutism, just ... y'know. The history of wrestling promoters in general. You could make such a brain-melting list of shit that'd be light years beyond the pale in 2024. Maybe it's a low bar to clear in this f***ed up carny industry, but as a middle-aged fan who can look back at ye olden days with a bit of hindsight and perspective relative to modern day wrestling, I'm not too bothered by TK sometimes being a bit of a tit on social media. It could be so, so, so very worse. I don’t know why people expect Tony Khan to be the first normal wrestling promoter in history. None of them are! The top 50 list of most petty and embarrassing things promoters and bookers have ever done would be APPALLING. And there wouldn’t be any tweets on it. |

I guess I just kind of balk at the notion that Tony even really needs to act like a “professional businessman” in the traditional sense. He’s not. He’s a trust fund baby who privately owns a promotion in one of the most carny industries to ever exist.
Like, dunk on the guy for doing and saying dumb shit, by all means, but the idea that there’s some level of decorum that should be expected of a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING PROMOTER genuinely cracks me up.

Most people shit on the Billionaire Ted skits too, even Bruce Prichard has I think - surely I'm remembering that last bit wrong?!
WCW gets a load of grief now for their OTT coverage of the WWF goings on - not that I think a Tony Khan tweet about Jinder is going to lead to a that'll put butts in seats style ratings boom 😂
These aren't defences of Tony when they are brought up, they just reinforce the point you should spend more (all?) of your time on ensuring your own product is as good as it possibly can be

I am not going to go through this whole thread, but I assume it was mentioned that TK didn't trash Jinder at all. He was talking about booking philosophy and how wins and loss should matter. It is incredible how bad reading comprehension can be on social media.

The past couple of weeks have only further solidified my theory that no one stirs the pot like Jinder Mahal.

That's why people bring it up, because it's ridiculous how much people overblow anything Tony Khan does online. FAN's one of the calmer places about it thankfully. |

People have trashed Eric and Vince for those things too though, and no one has said what Tony did is the worst thing that’s ever been done by a promoter. |

Nobody things it’s bad or even unprofessional Per say, it’s just incredibly goofy 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. |

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...  |

Are we talking about his pot calling the kettle black moments, his role in tanking two different promotions, or the bigotry? |
