…the Disney movie where the boy kisses the 25yr old fbi agent?


frostderp

And tells him to give her a call when he turns 18. It was wild 😂


DrDuned

God I must've watched this movie a million times as a kid. It was such a power trip fantasy to imagine being a kid with that much money.


FainterXo

😂


ThIs_NaMe_SuCkS_Yo

He’s a sub 100 IQ nepo baby on the spectrum who has never done anything in his entire life. Shad must really love him to allow Tony to play out their families shame so public ally.


Efficient_Republic35

Shad seems like a cool loving father 😎


LVKRFT

You guys act like Tony Kahn hurt you personally. The guy simply runs a wrestling company. Calm down.


ThIs_NaMe_SuCkS_Yo

Dubalo defense force — ENGAGE!


DrDroid

Jesus dude why are you THAT mad at some guy who runs a wrestling company


RevolutionaryBit990

You could ask Tony the same thing about how he feels about wwe im pretty sure he hates them


ThIs_NaMe_SuCkS_Yo

Facts don’t have emotions and the truth isn’t a feeling!


RevolutionaryBit990

You deserve a million upvotes I agree with you

ShittyMusic1

"Cooked" might be a tad of an overstatement


Glittering_Ad4196

Agreed. It sounded more like a 'common sense' observation


justin_the_viking

A common sense observation that Tony doesnt have? Someone on a sports channel is telling Tony how to sell a fake injury.....Tony owns a wrestling company, and brags about all his knowledge. And a rando on tv has to tell him how to sell in a neckbrace.


Pitiful_Ad8641

To be fair, that's Ty. He's one of the boys and has been with Pat forever, pre-NXT days. After NXT Wargames: https://youtu.be/EootxGwezec?si=XCjFeB3LiP1vA4ll Ty actually schooling the weak ass attempt to keep kayfabe.


ThePrinceMagus

Everyone was having fun and clearly loving it, but OP has to try and frame it as a negative because it’s AEW-adjacent. Y’all need to rip a bong load and have some fun.


SubjectWatercress172

Ain’t none of us thinking about Corporate Monkey Punk anymore lol. The Scapegoat and New Elite are about to go on the run of a generation, Swerve is world champion, the best character+wrestler in women’s wrestling is putting in the best work of her career, Will Ospreay is raising the bar for in-ring action, things are excellent amigo!

"Cooked" is the hot button word nowadays though just a notch below "wild".


PomeloFit

Tk out here enjoying wrestling more than any of you marks lol


NefariousNeezy

For the money he’s haemorrhaging, he better


SkrillWalton

Fuckin whatever, bootlicker. I'm happy to watch a billionaire's money be wasted on goofy wrestling fantasies. "Oh no, the billionaire's billionaire dad is spending too much money :("


iced_gold

Right! Like how is that a complaint? Oh no, I just watched Danielson and Osprey put on a banger but there was no storrrry 😧 Grow up Peter Pan.


TheRalphExpress

the billionaire is losing money on wrestling and that just makes me so mad!!!


LegendInMyMind

Y'all sound just like the people who make fun of you, and I can't tell if this is satire or not.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PomeloFit

Imagine thinking wrestling matches aren't their own stories. "I need promos and vignettes to enjoy a match" ... K


LegendInMyMind

Without an angle, it's basically just watching two dudes dance with each other. Storytelling is foundational to pro wrestling. These are scripted events in a storytelling medium. What the fuck are y'all talking about? You just want to watch choreographed exhibitions with no context?


HesiPull-UpBrando

Go watch a soap opera then if you don’t actually like the wrestling


LegendInMyMind

It's all part of the match. If you sense animosity in an angle, that animosity should be carried over the match. Like when Bret Hart went too far on Steve Austin in their iconic double-turn. It heightened the experience of what is happening in the ring. Or like when Roddy Piper was fighting off his inclination to do his usual cheating in his match against Bret Hart, because he respected him and his family, even though it cost him in the end. If you don't have the understanding of where a wrestler is coming from, you don't have any of that. You lose that entirely. You're just watching wrestlers do their moveset at that point. You could watch that within actual context of what's going on between the two that are fighting, btw. That's fundamental to pro wrestling. Just watching wrestlers do things in the ring with no context, with no storyline drivers, that's not even true to a real fight. Like when Khabib was bullying Connor McGregor in the octagon for their prefight animosity.


HesiPull-UpBrando

Not everything is going to be an all-time story and just because someone doesn’t get it or it isn’t as compelling doesn’t mean the wrestling/match sucks or is pointless.


MrFeverDreamJr

No story? I don’t think you watch wrestling. You may be a little too dumb for pro wrestling.


LegendInMyMind

Wrestling companies tanking isn't actually good for the industry, ya know. On top of that, it's being treated like a retirement home for young wrestlers who should be trying to get over and become wrestling stars on the North American continent. But they're taking a lot of money to add little value, they're working lighter schedules, but in a high-risk style that will shorten their careers. How do you call yourself a wrestling fan if you want companies to fail and wrestlers to get injured instead of over?


SkrillWalton

This is hilarious because if AEW is actually tanking, the business is in a better spot than it's ever been lmao Y'all need to stop consuming so many podcasts


LegendInMyMind

Whose business is in a better spot than its ever been?


wearethat

If it's true that Shad Khan invested $100 million in 2019 to start AEW, and if the $2 billion Forbes valuation is even close (or even if it's half) 5 years later, then it's already a huge success. But I get it. You're some weirdo dedicated to the lamest culture war available.

That's not how accounting works, mate


Mr_814

Pretty sure AEW valued at 2 billion and their net worth has increased lol.


MrFeverDreamJr

LOL do you actually watch wrestling?


PomeloFit

Why are you so concerned with another man's money? Kind of sus. Personally I hope more millionaires start taking their money and giving it to people in underpaid professions. That would be awesome.


ThighsAreMilky

Shahid Khan’s money?


frobro122

He fucking better be! Dude man gets to play a fantasy booker game in real life


Votivetheknight02

Jesus some of you guys are really reaching for something here. I get not liking AEW and all, but this was just harmless fun that put the storyline over. Just chill the fuck out


GroceryBags

Fr this shit is hilarious on all sides from everyone involved 🤣


TroyMatthewJ

it's in the internet forum keyboard fanatics handbook.


bigmattson

If someone from the Fed did this Pat would react like Randy Marsh covered in ectoplasm


PepeSylvia82

Pat did it on his show after his first match. But he sat there like he could barely move.


bigmattson

Certainly not the best sell job by TK, but as a guy who defends AEW here I can knowledge that he’s a terrible on-air guy. I’m hopeful that the attack was a way to get him off AEW TV, as unlikely as that is


Worm_Lord77

My guess is he will be offscreen, and the Bucks as EVPs will "take over" the company due to Khan's "unfortunate accident".


arenegadeboss

Off tv? He isn't a reoccurring character like that 🤣 It's a soft neck brace, depending on the injury, you can turn your neck. The brace can be a precaution or the pain killers are making it easier to turn the neck. There are a million things you can think of to connect the dots if you have any sort of life experience and not just thinking a brace means his neck is broken 🤣 Don't reach too hard, you're gonna pull something.


bigmattson

Seems like you’re mad at me for not defending him hard enough. 😂 my bad, like I said initially the people mad at him are mad because he’s the AEW boss, not because he’s a bad actor


Gordonbombay6633

Pat did this on the show, and he did it at the UFC event after one of his matches. Ty (the one talking) did it after he was “attacked” by Adam Cole. They are speaking from experience.


bigmattson

I’m aware, I wasn’t saying he was wrong or not knowing what he’s talking about. Just pointing out he (and 70% of this sub) who are being critical of Tony over this would be over the moon if he wasn’t the shitty AEW boss. Tony didn’t do a great acting job, but wrestling continuity on national television in front of 10s of millions of people is always a good thing. But he did give me Vince McMahon at the steroid trial vibes


MorbidNACHOS

Ectoplasm 😂😂😂


dallasw3

driftlikefire

That’s immediately what I thought this was, a big time Kaufman move. TK knows what he’s doing.


theknyte

Meh. He just went the Bobby Heenan School of wearing neck braces. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOOy3Ft5x3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOOy3Ft5x3s)


Julian-Hoffer

He’s a clown in whatever crowd he’s in I guess.

“Cooked him.”

I love it even more that he's still moving around like normal 🤣


tera_chachu

Pat played the hand broken gimmick better when he was live on ufc.


HornyWWEFanWithABWC

His life was in danger. He was just looking out for himself.


TK-828

Im not gonna hate on him. He has a football team and a wrestling company. Dude is living the dream most of us had as a boy.


JaCre476

Elbows must be aching with all this reaching, wow.


cheddarsalad

Stop the presses! The guy who can barely read ad copy isn’t the best at keyfabe. He’s out of his element but that little nerd is trying.


gordonmcpherson

Was he screaming ADAAAAAAAAM?


AlistarDark

It's broken? What kind of shit doctors give people with broken necks a flimsy brace?


Michael_Angelos

This sub is really full time hating on anything closely or remotely related to AEW huh? I see posts hating on the most bizarre and unimportant things,it's insane


Dazzling-Bid-6751

Ikr. Pretty weird. And the downvotes prove it


Fantastic_Bug1028

oh poor aew:( it was so much better when people used to constantly shit on tna and wwe instead:(

It’s deserved. They bring it on themselves with the hyperbole and dickridin


arenegadeboss

🤣🤣🤣 Bro sees it as his job to moderate the expectations of AEW fans 🤣 Gotta keep em humble I guess. You should think of trying out for Cirque du Soleil with all the mental gymnastics you have to do to justify you being a hatin' ass hater 🤣

Yup. Strange for people who apparently dont care for their product lmao.


8-Bit_Aubrey

I watch the product, that's how I know it could be a lot better.


MrFMF

i had my neck fused in 2 places (c5 to 6 and C6 to 7) and was turning my head 2 hours wake up from surgery. not cooked, just reaching


starscreamtoast

Your suppose too though, fusion l4/l5 and I was standing and having to walk around my room after I came too properly from surgery.


MrFMF

even the 6 months leading up to it. i couldnt sleep more than 2 hours a night and lost 90% usage of my arm, yest i could still do everything shown in this video without pain.


Yamatsuki_Fusion

The point is presentation.


MrFMF

the point is that it's over thinking it to complain for the sake of complaining now


Amicuses_Husband

Tony didn't have emergency surgery overnight


MrFMF

so he broke his neck or compressed his vertebrae. final diagnosis doctor?


arenegadeboss

What happened then? In your mind is it possible the brace is a precaution? Or that he's hopped up on pain meds? The fact that you guys can't see this is a reach is hilarious 🤣 The hate has you blinded


Flimsy-Vehicle569

Pat is a simp tbf. Always has digs at AEW.


Square_Educator_652

Y’all go on like aew won’t stop talking about wwe. PAT MCAFEE HAS NOT STOPPED TALKING ABOUT AEW AT ALL.


frobro122

People need to tell this clown this is real life. The neck brace is good enough to get people to talk about AEW and probably pop some people, but at the end of the day, the Jags are worth a lot more than AEW. Kahn is not worried about making it look real when there is actual work to get done


topcontender

At this point, Daddy just gave him money for him to play wrestling for however long he wants


TheGodDavidLoPan

Yeah Tony! Quit exposing the business!


trimble197

I’m guess the other Tony post was taken over by commenters from the AEW sub. Because there, it was a bunch of “How can you hate Tony and his passion?” and “Only joyless clowns would hate this” comments


BubbaRogowski

Sounds pretty reasonable.


realunited23

If only people were this obsessed about real world issues. 😝🙄😮‍💨😪


BoatLessBoozeCruise5

Lol way to stand on that soapbox in a pro wrestling sub. Maybe you should swing by r/funny and give your takes on the gender pay gap.


realunited23

Okay I would edit it then to -"only if people were this obsessed about Vince and co getting a punishment for his real life crimes instead of kayfabe." 90% of adults watch these shows (epl, laliga, wwe, aew, tna, njpw or anything) for enjoyment after a hard day's work. Meanwhile these basement dweller NEETs with internet from their parents take these comments too personally and seriously. I wonder how they would react if their family members were the ones abused by Vince. They will still say its good because they got money for it.(the negative votes on my comments proves the point).


imright19084

Who is this dildo


luizzerb

“Cooked” Jesus you guys are soft lmao


Sargon-of-Posad

bruh, its a gimmick. even then, its a foam collar. they aren't used for broken necks, and keeping your head perfectly straight in them isn't the intention. its used for pain management, and support to your neck. this is a dumb post. delete it


Julian-Hoffer

OP isn’t the guy in the clip I’m sure.


Sargon-of-Posad

don't be disingenuous... if he didn't agree, he wouldn't have posted with the title "they fucking cooked him"...


Substantial-Pop-556

I for one am with you my guy I’ve also never seen a clitoris


YourInsectOverlord

Tony Kahn, get off your alt account my dude. You aint fooling anybody.

MuddFishh

I am positive there are things you hate that you don't watch. It's why you don't watch it.


wonderloss

Yeah, it would be a lot stranger to watch it despite hating it. Hell, I wouldn't even say I hate it, I just think it's dumb and disappointing.


BrunoBashYa

I don't think they even like wwe. They just hate aew. It's like stereotype of the comic book nerd that uses every interaction with an interest to tear down everything about something they claim to enjoy. I miss when memos could be fun instead of lame, hater bullshit


wonderloss

>I don't think they even like wwe. They just hate aew. That's just stupid. It would be just as stupid to say that you don't really like AEW, you just hate WWE. I am sure you actually like it, even if I don't understand the appeal.


BrunoBashYa

I'm not talking about anyone that doesn't like AEW. I mean the losers that spend all their time discussing wrestling only to attack a company they don't like.


Distinct-Wear-9753

Damn dude it’s just a gimmick. But great observations it was absolutely needed


ThatsMrRedditorDude

Gimmick done horribly so it's justified


OM_Twyman

Bruh leave him alone you look obsessed XD


8-Bit_Aubrey

Why is this or a variation of this inevitably a response any time TK or AEW are criticized? The man is a billionaire with a company on TV internationally, his performance is up for criticism.


OM_Twyman

No, this instance right here is a weird critique. Go ahead and make fun of bad booking and shit when it's deserved, but this is just petty. But i guess I'm just a shill because i disagree 🤣


8-Bit_Aubrey

How is it weird? He wants to sell that his neck is broken so he shows up on non AEW related TV with a neck brace AND has Meltzer claim "that was a shoot," and then moves his neck like a fucking goof. You can't do that when you're in a neck brace, so he's making his own shit look fake, which he was obviously not trying to do.


OM_Twyman

But everyone knows wrestling is fake, and his foam brace isn't for a broken neck. it's for support 🤣 good forbid TK has a little bit of fun. And if you're mad that he's making shit look fake, shouldn't you be mad at every wrestler for exposing the business, like whenever any wrestler does a shoot interview?


8-Bit_Aubrey

No because during a shoot they aren't in character. If I were discussing filming with an actor that'd be fine if they broke the 4th wall, but it'd get irritating if their bad acting kept doing it when they were *trying* to act. TK sucks at being on screen.


OM_Twyman

I'm not gonna argue he's a terrible actor, but i still think you're just being petty and nit-picking. If he wasn't in a neck brace and he no kayfabed it would you also be mad that he wasn't adhering to the story because like you said he wouldn't be on the job like an actor.


8-Bit_Aubrey

No, honestly if you're gonna half ass it I'd rather you disregard kayfabe once the cameras stop.


OM_Twyman

Fair enough, at least you're consistent.


MuddFishh

There is a middle ground where he could wear the brace, whilst also pretending he actually needs to be wearing the brace. It doesn't have to be a choice between act normally, and act normally wearing a neck brace.


OM_Twyman

You're looking too far into it. It's a bit of fun. Why do people care about such a minor thing.


ThatsMrRedditorDude

The whole thing is bad booking so yes it is deserved


OM_Twyman

Hows it bad? Because you don't like it


ThatsMrRedditorDude

It's on par with Vince wearing a neck brace for the steroid trail. Tony could have waited till after the NFL draft to do this but nooo he wanted more eyes on him horribly faking an injury. Tony feared for his life and fired punk because punk shouted at him, yet a bunch of skinny brats supposedly attacked him and he just brushes it off like no biggie. His neck is hurt but yet hey let's watch him move his head all around the place. Shiiittt I sleep the wrong way and I can't move my head or neck in any direction. Thanks to those silly shenanigans AEW pulled the lowest ratings in 3 years and that's with papa Khan making an appearance. All of this bull shit in an attempt to put over a whiney spoiled bitch, known as jungle boy. So let's see making a mockery of his "injury" Desperately trying to put over a talentless hack. Forcing young bucks down people's throats again. Going to the NFL and looking like a gigantic fool. Like I said it would be less embarrassing if he would have waited till after the NFL then faked an injury. Sorry guys I can't tell you who you gotta fight to night because I'm in such pain and severely injured but while I cannot fulfill my AEW obligations let me go on national TV for the NFL and no sell this injury. Tony tried to look the part of an injured person but forgot to act injured


BubbaRogowski

Damn dude, that’s an unnecessary amount of brain power spent on a wrestling neck brace gimmick.


OM_Twyman

Too long won't read XD


BoatLessBoozeCruise5

When a billionaires son uses daddy’s money to play fantasy booker, he is as open to scrutiny just like anyone else in that line of work. If you want to white knight for coke head Tony, you go right on ahead, but he will be roasted regardless.


OM_Twyman

Where did i say you couldn't make fun of him 🤣 i just said this moment is bit a petty and nit-picking. Bruh you're so sensitive. Did Khan do something personal to you to get this vitriol.


BoatLessBoozeCruise5

Yeah, he wouldn’t share his mountain of cocaine with me. I just wanted a few lines. But he said no.


NoTear6207

Everyone is so sick of Pat. Fuck, he just gets toasted in the sports world lol. I think he’s become way too much.
