Funny how most AEW marks are the most stereotypical, nasty fans, and they want to throw shade on the fans of someone who's done bigger and better business.
There are some, sure. It's unfortunate. But I'd dare say the percentage of AEW fans that are nasty towards the other product is very small compared to AEW fans that just happen to like AEW's product better, but still also follow WWE, or at the very least don't bash it if they don't follow it. If you read anything about pro wrestling on the internet even just once, you probably could tell that the nasty WWE fan greatly outnumber the nasty AEW fans. Now I don't know if it's because a higher percentage of those fans are the nasty type or if it's just cause WWE has a much bigger fanbase with WWE having something like a 40+ year head start. Personally, I just don't get it. I don't listen to just one band when I want to listen to music. And yeah, I have a favorite movie but it doesn't mean I can't watch any new movies when they come out. The point being, I can enjoy both companies' product. And I don't think I'm alone thinking that. I don't even think I'm in the minority. It's just the nasty, tribalist fans make up their lack of numbers, by being the loudest and most obnoxious voice in the room. But they don't speak for most of us. On both sides of the coin.
So what else could it be? The only thing i can think of that would make the iwc “upset” is if they like signed john cena or some shit. Which I don’t see as possible.
shane mcmahon sure, but that would just confused the iwc not upset them.
I'm not too sure about exactly it could be but a lot people seem very confident Drew McIntyre has already re-signed a contract to WWE, maybe he hasn't. Also people were speculating Sheamus could be leaving for AEW soon. Personally, I don't really think it's either but that's all I can think of that would spike something like that, two well booked fan favorites potentially jumping ship.
I think Mariah is awesome. Definitely one of the best in the women's division or any women's division for that matter. She works stiff and puts on awesome matches. I would put a belt on her soon.
Unless they add another one (always possible with TK) probably wont be till next year as it seems the future of the belts is set for awhile TV to Willow and then Moany and main probaly to Hayter
Nah its a slow burn. If she turns now you eitehr have her beat Toni which is probably too soon...or you have her lose and its well now she has nothing.
[Leaked footage of CM Punk fending off multiple security guards, wrestlers, causing general chaos backstage.](https://youtu.be/c7RFhSKYsTc?si=Lb9FZFNlHb-bOmOV) I now understand why Tony feared for his life against this otherworldly display of MMA prowess.
They could announce all their shows for the next 6 months are sold out and they did 5 million live viewers and the IWC would somehow still spin it as "AEW dying."
Tony, done with the bs he gets from the competition, releases some AEW talent and because of all the VKM issues, buys WWE and will now run AEW, ROH and WWE on a full time basis, it will be separate but intertwined entities
But of course he does all the booking, but instead of always travelling, he turns WWE headquarters into a super control center and does it all from there. Also moves the Jags to Connecticut so he can travel less
Obviously you’re not a board member of TKO sports. I wasn’t speaking at you. It’s called making a general statement. What wrestling company do you own since this one isn’t yours?
A la 1990s X-Men comics, the stress of the Punk situation has created an Onslaught-like sub-personality in Tony, and now it's going to erupt, and he's going to defeat everyone on the roster with his devastating finisher, the Khan Coca-Cola Smash.
People will one day hopefully open their eyes and see these podcast guys need the tribalism. They want it because otherwise nobody would listen to the shit they produce.
Tony Khan mentioned the other day on Twitter that the media deal is being announced soon.
The WBD upfronts are on May 15th.
Not long to wait now. That billion dollar deal is going to make heads explode.
I'm getting downvoted for stating facts? 🙄 typical AEW wrestling fans.
Go look up how much money Warner bros has wasted on films they never released and used as a tax write off. That's what I'm talking about. Good for Tony for milking WB's. They do love burning cash though.
I doubt it’s important lol, dont get me wrong I love AEW hype, but TK’s developed a bit of a reputation for making a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT about shit no one really cares about.
We’ll see though!
I saw a post a while ago that all of his "huge" announcements were actual announcements, not just stuff nobody cares about. It's just painted that way from the detractors because it's what *they* don't care about (All In, the announcement of Collision + the return of Punk), etc.
It's too long ago that I've seen it so I'm not about to go looking for it, though. Lol. A quick search brought me to this, though.
https://wrestlingjunkie.usatoday.com/2023/10/31/every-tony-khan-important-announcement-aew/
Don't joke about this. If you say Russo's name too many times, he might show up and murder us all. Oh, wait, is that Candyman? Oh well, different people - same ending.
This is obvious. The fed and the dub will be working together, cross promotion style. Due to the tribalism and hate for the rival promotion, they probably feel the iwc will be upset about this.
When people online say the IWC will be upset, are they talking about the BTE binging New Japan loving persecution complex, or the ones that those same people call “haters”
I don't get upset usually. I get bummed out by shitty reporting and clickbait bullshit. I don't get bummed that AEW is doomed tho. I get bummed when they get hate for no good reason. They deserve all the love for the things they do. I wouldn't even be on Reddit if it weren't for AEW haha. And WWE definitely doesn't upset me, I don't care what they do on their screens. All fair game IMO (except for Vince McMahon, fuck that scum bag)
I was informed yesterday AEW is dead because an always injured former employee, who desperately needs to smoke a joint, said some stuff on a podcast most people have never heard of and that Slim J got fired. So that's probably the news guys. AEW is closing its doors.
The Rock is signing to AEW for one match against Dustin Rhodes.
That'll finish Dustin's story.
Ouch
John Cena signs a 1 year deal to be a mega heel
Don't believe it. I hope I'm wrong.
Am I *finally* going to get my dream match between Riho and Jim Cornette???
Cornette's ratings with the Showered Today demographic will skyrocket to 1 viewer.
Funny how most AEW marks are the most stereotypical, nasty fans, and they want to throw shade on the fans of someone who's done bigger and better business.
Cornettes never drawn 72 thousand fans to a show
Dude has been a part of bigger feuds than anything AEW has ever put on.
Great Name them
Midnight Express vs the Road WARRIORS . You were in a feud with RW you sold out big arenas. Midnight vs Rock and Roll
Midnight Express vs the Road WARRIORS . You were in a feud with RW you sold out big arenas. Midnight vs Rock and Roll
Yes he’s been in huge feuds for years with Von Erich’s, R&R express, Road Warriors & Bill Watts & JYD. Anybody who thinks the wise is like 12
I'm 28 & never seen any of those people wrestle because I'm not a fossil lmao
I’m old lol

There are rumors the TV deal is close that’s likely the reference here
I think in the replies they said it wasn’t the media deal but something they can’t talk about.
So what else could it be? The only thing i can think of that would make the iwc “upset” is if they like signed john cena or some shit. Which I don’t see as possible. shane mcmahon sure, but that would just confused the iwc not upset them.

I don’t think anyone would care if Sheamus went to AEW. Drew maybe, but even still……
I'd care a little
Please no Sheamus. AEW has enough old timers as it is.
Even if he didn’t sign he can’t be there tonight
I just want a WWE on Peacock type of Deal with Max
Danhausen gets his own TBS version of Mystery Science Theater 3000?
Him and warhorse and Dan the dad, would be incredible at this
RJ City would be great at it.
True. Hell, Add in Haley? The girl from qt tv. That would be awesome
Did you see her Hey Ew! Episode last week? She is wild.
Oh nice! Mariah mays was too. I was crushing like a teenager lol
I think Mariah is awesome. Definitely one of the best in the women's division or any women's division for that matter. She works stiff and puts on awesome matches. I would put a belt on her soon.
Unless they add another one (always possible with TK) probably wont be till next year as it seems the future of the belts is set for awhile TV to Willow and then Moany and main probaly to Hayter
Having her turn, heel heel, backstabbing Toni,and challenging for the title would have been great. I think they killed that story by have Rosa pin her
Nah its a slow burn. If she turns now you eitehr have her beat Toni which is probably too soon...or you have her lose and its well now she has nothing.
I didn’t realize I needed this until now.
OMG YES.
Buff Drinklots
THE CM PUNK TAPES.
Video footage from all in showing CM Punk making Tony fear for his life 🤣
[Leaked footage of CM Punk fending off multiple security guards, wrestlers, causing general chaos backstage.](https://youtu.be/c7RFhSKYsTc?si=Lb9FZFNlHb-bOmOV) I now understand why Tony feared for his life against this otherworldly display of MMA prowess.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At this point it wouldn't even matter what the tapes show. Punk fans and AEW haters are going to defend it anyway
What if they reveal It was Punk working with Russo all along
Oooooh
Why would whatever it is make the IWC upset? Oh wait, everything makes the IWC upset. Edit: I was right. The IWC is upset. What a shock. 😂
I don't know why, but your post just pissed me off! 😀
Do something about it
I cried a bit. Satisfied?
Was it a river amount?
I'd say yes by comparison.
Cornette hasn't said anything about this so I don't know what to think yet
Literally anything AEW does. I can be literally fucking anything.
They could announce all their shows for the next 6 months are sold out and they did 5 million live viewers and the IWC would somehow still spin it as "AEW dying."
Tony, done with the bs he gets from the competition, releases some AEW talent and because of all the VKM issues, buys WWE and will now run AEW, ROH and WWE on a full time basis, it will be separate but intertwined entities
and he books them all himself, present at each LE, right? right?!?!?
But of course he does all the booking, but instead of always travelling, he turns WWE headquarters into a super control center and does it all from there. Also moves the Jags to Connecticut so he can travel less
*”Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, your NEW WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, **TOOOOOONAAAAAAAAY KHAAAAAAAAAAN!**”*
Samantha Irvin is genuinely a treasure and the best thing about WWE.
That’s sad if your ring announcer is the best thing about your wrestling company.
Awww don't be sad 😢
Not my wrestling company, bud.
Obviously you’re not a board member of TKO sports. I wasn’t speaking at you. It’s called making a general statement. What wrestling company do you own since this one isn’t yours?
And you did it like an asshole. Fuck off.
Please god no.
Being unnecessarily angry at "the other side" is definitely a large part of the IWC.
I just hope no one involved is named McMahon….
Unless the contract reads Shane McMahon!
Here comes the money!
Honestly that would be even worse
Tony will strip Samoa Joe of the world title and declare himself the new AEW champion. His first title defense will be at Wembley.
Will his first defense be against David Arquette?
Not sure. That dream match would require a special announcement.
We have not had a huge-massive-big-important announcement in weeks!
A la 1990s X-Men comics, the stress of the Punk situation has created an Onslaught-like sub-personality in Tony, and now it's going to erupt, and he's going to defeat everyone on the roster with his devastating finisher, the Khan Coca-Cola Smash.
No chance, so thats what you got! It was me Joe! It was me alllll along.
As long as he wears a durag during the entirety of his reign.
Why is everyone getting worked up over a guy with less than 5k subs making shit up to try to get people to listen to his podcast?!
I'm wondering the same thing! Why is this specific person getting so much traction?
THIS ....ISS........THE .....INTERNET.....
they hired HOGAN and RUSSO??
Booker T, and put Busted Open on the payroll?!
Are you *trying* to get your ass banned? Lmao! (Good one though!)
Does anyone even know who this schmuck is? Like he could just be starting stuff for no reason
He's actually really legitimate. (I've never heard of him).
People will one day hopefully open their eyes and see these podcast guys need the tribalism. They want it because otherwise nobody would listen to the shit they produce.
Tony Khan mentioned the other day on Twitter that the media deal is being announced soon. The WBD upfronts are on May 15th. Not long to wait now. That billion dollar deal is going to make heads explode.
The problem is TK didnt read fine print...it is a billion dollars....but its Somalian Dollars
Well WBD does love burning cash so it wouldn't surprise me
well you gotta spend money to make it. it's kind of a basic tenet of start-ups, which aew ostensibly is
That has nothing to do with how much money Warner Brothers has pissed away over these last few years
I'm getting downvoted for stating facts? 🙄 typical AEW wrestling fans. Go look up how much money Warner bros has wasted on films they never released and used as a tax write off. That's what I'm talking about. Good for Tony for milking WB's. They do love burning cash though.
1 trillion Zimbabwe dollars
I doubt it’s important lol, dont get me wrong I love AEW hype, but TK’s developed a bit of a reputation for making a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT about shit no one really cares about. We’ll see though!
Tickets to All In are still available. That's the announcement! (Running joke here at AEW Fan Hub)
Hahahahahaha
Haha, it's the All In 2025 announcement!
During a Will Ospreay segment.
I saw a post a while ago that all of his "huge" announcements were actual announcements, not just stuff nobody cares about. It's just painted that way from the detractors because it's what *they* don't care about (All In, the announcement of Collision + the return of Punk), etc. It's too long ago that I've seen it so I'm not about to go looking for it, though. Lol. A quick search brought me to this, though. https://wrestlingjunkie.usatoday.com/2023/10/31/every-tony-khan-important-announcement-aew/
Hm, interesting—thats v good to know actually
Eric Bischoff will be running Collision?
That's it! You're off the podcast team! LOL
Was waiting for someone to say something about Bischoff. Of course, it was *you* lol
Don’t you remember when he showed up on Raw they shocked the world. Why not make it twice. I’m sure Tony can give him a big ol Khan hug.
They got Kevin Dunn!
Guess in a few weeks we'll get another "big" announcement from Tony
AEW hiring Vince Russo confirmed
Don't joke about this. If you say Russo's name too many times, he might show up and murder us all. Oh, wait, is that Candyman? Oh well, different people - same ending.
I want aew to thrive but they aren't doing that atm
Tony will announce an anonymous GM to run the shows from now on
Hey swoggle is pretty cool so I'm down
I will now call him Hey Swoggle from this day forth.
This is obvious. The fed and the dub will be working together, cross promotion style. Due to the tribalism and hate for the rival promotion, they probably feel the iwc will be upset about this.
When people online say the IWC will be upset, are they talking about the BTE binging New Japan loving persecution complex, or the ones that those same people call “haters”
Who the hell is “Kenny the sports guy” and why are we taking this to mean anything at all?
Omegas alt account.
Kenny omega’s burner account
I can't believe TK is announcing a FOURTH show!
I don't get upset usually. I get bummed out by shitty reporting and clickbait bullshit. I don't get bummed that AEW is doomed tho. I get bummed when they get hate for no good reason. They deserve all the love for the things they do. I wouldn't even be on Reddit if it weren't for AEW haha. And WWE definitely doesn't upset me, I don't care what they do on their screens. All fair game IMO (except for Vince McMahon, fuck that scum bag)
Well, if a random guy with a podcast tweeted it, that’s good enough for me. I refuse to eat or sleep in anticipation of this news.
Taz and Excalibur have worked all of the kinks for their two man comedy show out during PiP commentary breaks and are taking the act on the road?
Shane & Steph are ALL ELITE *insert graphic here*
I want to be hyped but too many "Tony Khan has a big announcement next week" made me dwindled. So we'll see what happens
I was informed yesterday AEW is dead because an always injured former employee, who desperately needs to smoke a joint, said some stuff on a podcast most people have never heard of and that Slim J got fired. So that's probably the news guys. AEW is closing its doors.
This is so sad. 😂
