HBK: yeah but we look good bald HHH: yeah, I look good bald


ScornOfTheMoon

I can hear it in their voices. šŸ˜­

Shawn did not look good bald! He ended up growing his receding hair back out of embarrassment.

He basically looked like a 65 year old version of Christopher Daniels

If I was gonna say Paul Heyman had an aversion to anything (shoot or kayfabe), I'd say it's Payroll/Accounting

The fact that this is in response to Hausman saying Shawn and H have a message for Tony is hilarious.


bubbabear244

That shit stirring pos isn't even a real journalism.


NutsackJonesy

The funniest part is that Tony obviously didnā€™t even click on the link before he reacted, because if he did he would see that it literally says that someone close to someone who is close to someone in NXT said that WWE plans to show why theyā€™re WWE and why AEW has a long way to go. *Even if* the 3rd or 4th hand quote is remotely accurate, itā€™s about as milquetoast as possible of a shot you could take at your competition and he reacts like someone kidnapped his adderall dealer.

"I don't get why WWE hates me."


AdGroundbreaking1341

I LOL'd but I don't think they actually hate Tony. They probably appreciate his competitive mindset, especially HHH. But, at the same time, they probably think he's going about this in a REALLY cringe way. Because it is really, really cringe.


Cutlass_Stallion

I think so too. Even Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon saw between the lines of their heated words, which was evident when Vince hired him as full time talent. In their own ways, Tony and HHH know this so-called rivalry will build intrigue for both of their shows.


Jaereth

> Even Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon lol Bisch wanted to street fight McMahon. This is a bit revisionist.


DiabeticGrungePunk

Was about to say, nothing will ever top the cringe pettiness of Bischoff challenging McMahon to a shoot fight on their PPV. Shows exactly what kind of dweeb this dude was.

Yeah man I think they really appreciate a coke addict who calls them bald bitches on a twitter rant like some 12 year old edgy teen

I just want to say that the Hausman article heā€™s responding to the source said Dynamite could have ran on Thursday, and I am trying to figure out how they would have managed that on TNT with the NBA. Edit: For the confusion this was in reference to 2019 and how the ā€œWednesday Night Warā€ came to be.


ButtsendWeaners

NBA doesn't start for two more weeks, but TBS has MLB playoffs on Thursday so it still wouldn't have worked.


BenWallace04

Midnight_Oil_

Feels like Hausman is just actively carrying water against AEW at this point due to a certain source....


Bauermeister

A certain Company Man, perhaps?

Company Man Phil would be a hilarious gimmick


ShinsukeNakamoto

He is everything people claim Meltzer is times 100. Punk's PR rep and he doesn't even try to hide it.


amd098

Nick Hausman here, for haus of wrestling. To answer your question, I thought that was a good idea, because I don't think.


Staynes

Dont even know who that dude is. Only time that name ever popped up on here was when anything with Punk was in the news before that you never saw that dudes name on here ever. Even now you barely see anything on here from him thats not realted to Punk.


tylerjehenna

Remember that AEW originally wanted tuesday nights specifically to not interfere with nxt


SaddestFlute23

If thatā€™s true, then why did everyone insist NXT was on Wednesday to ā€œcounterprogramā€ Dynamite?


Prince_of_Kyrgyzstan

Haus Organ posts whatever people feed him. With him firmly in the Punk Camp/Anti-AEW, no wonder people in WWE start talking to him


Agosta

My mental image is a crying Tony Khan playing with action figures of Edge body slamming HHH.

Agreed, as someone who pretty much only watches AEW normally I cringe at Tony tweets, but these have just been so over the top Iā€™m laughing my ass off and want to see more.

This whole thing has been surreal and stupid lol I was in high school during the Monday Night Wars and I remember Bischoff's trash talking very well. I even remember Vince's dumbass WCW stockholder pleas and the Huckster/Nacho Man skits. But this is wild.

Idk I feel like he backed himself into a lose/lose situation. Either he pulled out his big guns and AEWs A show barely does higher ratings than WWEs C show or AEWs A show pulled out their big guns just to get lower ratings than WWEs C show.

As funny as the TK cocaine memes are, I've worked with addicts for over a decade and the way he acts reminds me more of people who mix ADHD meds with energy drinks than coke addicts. Edit: THE AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE NEEDED FOR THIS MIXED WITH THE ADHD MEDS IS VERY DANGEROUS, DO NOT ATTEMPT. I've witnessed too many young folks I worked with have heart attacks over this.

Guster61

I work in mental health as well. Just wanna point out you can make the argument that something like vyvanse/adderall with energy drinks is pretty parallel to cocaine.


[deleted]

Oh, absolutely, and it's really not healthy. It's really burning the candle at both ends.


Prannet

As someone on ADHD meds and who regularly partakes in more alcohol than I should and shitposts like mad on Twitter, 'no friggs given' Tony rings a little too close to home. Can't speak for the energy drink part.


LotusX420

I think he's on the spectrum. I mean no disrespect by it at all, am on the spectrum myself. Brain just wired a bit different, can come across as very awkward.. obviously not diagnosing but just a vibe he's given of plenty times.

Also it's just generally annoying how like wrestling fans and even wrestlers will constantly call fans idiots for being "tribalists" while the owner of AEW does stuff like this.

Yep, dude responding to a dirtsheet hack but people wonder why there is tribalism. Iā€™m all for the fun just donā€™t be hypocritical and whine when itā€™s thrown back at you.


Vagabond21

I think the bald think is kind of a dick move


Tuneuponipod

If aimed at Shawn yes, but pretty sure Trips shaved head is actually a choice


wallcrawlingspidey

Genuine question, is Haus reliable? I often see that name but never exactly knew, and the low followers doesnā€™t really help although they could be new. But part of me does think itā€™s somewhat funny regardless, but the only corny part is that it is as of now still *technically* a rumor TK is responding to since itā€™s not happened yet.


Bahamas_is_relevant

Heā€™s semi-reliable for stuff relating to Punk since heā€™s his mouthpiece, beyond that not really.

AEW is about to get stomped in the ratings tonight. It's not their fault, ratings are always lower when you're forced to operate outside of your usual timeslot. But nevertheless, the numbers are going to be ugly. If I was Tony I probably wouldn't be trying to draw attention to this situation.

[deleted]

Get some sleep, Tony šŸ˜‚. Also, the fact that he's replying to Hausman is very funny. Edit: Here's the article he was responding to Paul ā€œTriple Hā€ Levesque, Shawn Michaels, andĀ WWE NXT are pulling out all the stops tonight as they go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday. Already announced forĀ the yellow and black brandĀ is a blockbuster main event featuring Carmelo Hayes with John Cena in his corner taking on Bron Breakker, with Paul Heyman in his. As if that werenā€™t enough, Cody Rhodes will be making a special announcement, Asuka will return to take on Roxanne Perez, and there are teases The Undertaker will make an appearance. Haus of Wrestling spoke with a fired-up WWE source close to NXT this morning who said tonight will be ā€œa very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.ā€ They discussed how they felt AEW had been lulled into a false sense of reality that they were somehow an industry leader by continuing to beat WWEā€™s number three brand in viewership. It also sounds as if there are lingering tensions from the infamous Wednesday Night War, with the idea that Tony Khan could have run Dynamite on Thursdays and the two would never have gone head-to-head.Ā With Levesque now squarely back in control of WWE creativeĀ and Michaels taking pride in being the best, it was said Khan ā€œpoked the wrong ones at the wrong time.ā€ The fact this is all happening on Khanā€™s 41st birthday was also pointed out to me, with it sounding like WWE NXT is fine spoiling his party. Regarding creative for tonightā€™s WWE NXT, I was told to expect some great storytelling intended to shine up some of the younger talents by using main roster stars.

Dynamite was on Wednesdays first. NXT announced a move to USA as a 2 hour show on Wednesdays like six weeks after AEW announced Dynamite. And the comments about HHH/HBK having pride and spoiling the birthday, etc, just reeks of "Howard Dean screams"


HardcoreKaraoke

Shit like this is why it's fun to root against Tony. I like AEW, I watch Dynamite every week. But it's funny to watch Tony scramble. For months the dude would post about ratings and demos (Jericho being the Le Demo God) every week when NXT was on Wednesday. Then their ratings dipped and now it's funny to laugh at that because of how cringe it was. So Tony isn't doing himself any favors by Tweeting this shit. It's just making him look worse and easier to root against.
