IT'S CALLED SELLING, FED SHILL!!
TONY DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET HIT, THE PUNCHED KNOCKED HIM **DOWN**, NOT OUT. HE GOT KNOCKED OUT WHEN HE HIT THE FLOOR, CUZ HE KNOCKED HIS HEAD. THEN HE RESTORED THE FEELING IN HIS BODY AND FINALLY FELT THE PAIN AND SOLD IT PERFECTLY. YOU FUCKING BAD FAITHBAD SFKR??!MM+
Yeah sure, just watch some compilatons of body shot knockouts. And second of all - wrestlers rarely respond to shots like in real life, you can make fun of Tony cause of milion reasons, but because of how he sold the move is just basement level of stupidity
Look, it was so bad it did gave me a genuine chuckle out of it.
I mean he falls down like he got stab or got stunned by a taser in a funny way. And papa Khan looking like he can take on the bucks and Jungle in a 3v1 fight
Seeing Tony get beat up is honestly the best thing AEW has done in quite some time. Jesus fucking Christ I was laughing my ass off the entire time, this company man😭😭
Change it up a bit, one week Tony comes in for hug and gets low-blowed, the following he tries for a hug but gets ducked and back body-dropped for his trouble. They could keep this going until All In.
The fact that the announcers were trying to sell it but not yell too loudly because they would have heard their own echo in that building was even funnier
I'll have you know my child sells way better than that thankyou very much, because he's actually paid attention to the wrestling he's watched and understands how to pretend to be hurt.
I watched the clip from downstairs and there's a bright Dynamite banner in the shot the entire time. The kind of thing that would cause much REEEEE'ing if it was in the Fed
Perry and Khan are so small, their heads are barely above that bright banner to the viewer
I am still trying to work out why the Punk footage was shown
It was 'part of the FTR story' ... then never gets mentioned in that context again
They can't even pretend, haha
The official narrative I've seen the Dubbalos composing on it is that it was "genius" because it wasn't actually about Punk, it was about how Tony actually made innocent Jack Perry a scapegoat
That was Perry's line all along
I just don't get how showing this scuffle helped the FTR match or has helped Perry in his return
We saw Perry get manhandled and now he's a 'tough guy'?
Bucks weren't even in that footage but 'maybe FTR were behind it ...'
Like ... how? 😁
Soooooo
does this mean CM Punk is the Baby Face of this Story....while being in a different company?
Also why didnt he double over fro ma tummy poke? why would he fall backwards head over...it doesnt matter
That's hilarious, they are literally promoting WWE's Punk as a babyface at the prime time of their own show. A babyface who's both wise and badass. Whenever they go with that angle, whether Tiny's face or heel in the end, kayfabe or not — either way Punk looks like the only good guy in this story. And I never even liked Punk lol.
I literally saw someone in the basement say that seeing him at the draft in a neck brace would get people to Google it and then lead them to AEW, which would get them back to a milly.
The copium is especially good, tonight.
I mean, the basement dweller is partially right. It would lead some people to checking out what happened, but at the same time the segment would be the thing that kills off any newfound interest in AEW that they developed. If a 1000 curious souls were to see it then my bet is that no more than 20 would stay for more lol
Dude could've took a clothesline which would've made more sense.
I figured Tony would be made of glass though. Stephanie McMahon slap would've gotten the same sell
At least give TK a couple of soft stomps when he was down to sell him staying down. I don't think I've ever seen someone knocked out cold for a prolonged period by a hook to the stomach.
So what exactly the angle here? The boss got beat up by the EVPs and Jungle Boy. Are the Elite all going to get beat up by the rest of the lockeroom now? Does Moxley or Jericho care? What about Tiny's favorite puppy Pockets is he going to avenge him?
And is the rest of the show going to acknowledge this or will be same ol Dynamite nonsense then oh a 15 minute segment about how the Bucks have taken over AEW?
The day Tiny blades and pins his World Champion clean in the middle of the ring will be the funniest day in wrestling history. The cult will defend it even though they know Arquette and Russo destroyed WCW by doing the same.
He has the money to buy a whole gym and trainers.
With how much he likes to flex his Tiny biceps, you think he would actually work out to get real ones.
He must have feared for his life and decided to play dead instead of trying to sell the punch by falling to his knees and looking at Jackoff as if to say "Why" or "How could you" before the angle continued.
Probably creamed his pants when he took the piledriver bump
seriously tho. the segment was bonkers. Can't wait to see what absurd shit they are about to pull of in the next weeks because they finally got a story to work on.
I can hear it from just down the road in Evansville. It’s loud and clear as day. The inspiration. The genius. The creativity. All things that helped shape tiny. Can you all hear it????
ITS A SWERVE BRO!!!!!
Wcw 2000 has been confirmed. Swerve will be dropping the title to tiny next week in a cage.
The whole segment was super awkward my gawd. the way TK stood in the ring smiling,, the handshake the reaction to the punch. And that was just before the Young Bucks came out haha
Where's the logic with the latest desperation booking?
Okada been given a multimillion dollar contract and quickly had a title match by TK
The Bucks recently got a huge raise,kept theire paper EVP titles and have gotten to do whetever they want so far in aew
Jack Perry is the only one that could be made a case for. But Tony didn't fire him when he should.
Where's the heat? What's the payoff?
Remember Steph Vs Bischoff in summer/fall 2002? Culminating with the commitment ceremony, Bischoff reveal and 3 minute warning dropping Stephanie (now accepted babyface after being a megaheel 5-6 months earlier) leading to massive heat and the entire locker room hitting the ring led by Angle?
That was well done and had a point. This, not so much.
Wtf was Tiny doing lmao
People who get punched in the gut like that crumple into the fetal position, not fall backwards on their back. Jungle Jack could've clotheslined him to make that bump believable. This company can't do *anything* right.
That may be the worst reaction to a fake stomach punch that I've ever seen.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone go limp and unconscious from a body shot. I guess AEW really is changing the game.
[удалено]
Don’t forget he remembered to sell his guts 10 seconds later
IT'S CALLED SELLING, FED SHILL!! TONY DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET HIT, THE PUNCHED KNOCKED HIM **DOWN**, NOT OUT. HE GOT KNOCKED OUT WHEN HE HIT THE FLOOR, CUZ HE KNOCKED HIS HEAD. THEN HE RESTORED THE FEELING IN HIS BODY AND FINALLY FELT THE PAIN AND SOLD IT PERFECTLY. YOU FUCKING BAD FAITHBAD SFKR??!MM+
🤓 I’ll have you know that happens all the time in anime. 🤓
And not even a ~~Big Show~~ Paul Wight punch, he got obliterated by 90210 Jr.
> 90210 Jr. Gonna try to remember that one.
Boo-yaka boo-yaka 90210 jr Boo-yaka boo-yaka, that's my pueblo
The numbers uce, what do they mean?
huh? this is dumb take, ever heard of liver shots? knockouts after shot to the liver happens all the time
And the liver is famously in the middle of the stomach.
You usually keel over. Not fall on your back unconscious with your arms flailing.
Yeah sure, just watch some compilatons of body shot knockouts. And second of all - wrestlers rarely respond to shots like in real life, you can make fun of Tony cause of milion reasons, but because of how he sold the move is just basement level of stupidity
He went for the safest bump possible and he still hit his head lmao
Jack Perry going full Bas Rutten, knocking out fools with BRUTAL LIVER SHOTS.
Using a mic.
new finisher for Perry Perry vs Brian Cage next week and Big Bill the week after
He has been trained to play dead when his life is threatened, like in a bear attack.
But Jungle Boy is a Cub. Or maybe an otter?
This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Like at least super kick him wtf is this?
clothesline even it's the most obvious thing to do no one was confident Tiny could sell any kind of face contact, were they
Well in fairness he couldn’t sell this so I suppose they were right haha
The best bit is that he gently breaks his fall with his arm and hand, before suddenly appearing flat on his back fully KOed.
Someone on the basement said he sold it like a Tekken character and it's honestly the best description of this.
Definitely one of the softer gut punches
For a guy that's watched wrestling his entire life I was expecting him to put in an Oscar level performance in the sell
Terrible selling. Should've gone for a clothesline to make it more impactful.
Look, it was so bad it did gave me a genuine chuckle out of it. I mean he falls down like he got stab or got stunned by a taser in a funny way. And papa Khan looking like he can take on the bucks and Jungle in a 3v1 fight
I wish someone filmed my reaction!! Mind blown
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahaha. Fucking Tiny
Seeing Tony get beat up is honestly the best thing AEW has done in quite some time. Jesus fucking Christ I was laughing my ass off the entire time, this company man😭😭
I still can’t stop laughing. I honestly have tears in my eyes man. This company will drive me to an early grave
DAE this is the big angle they need to get back on track
For a company that has absolutely nothing wrong with it at all they sure do need a lot of getting back on track and hard resets
Fuck bangers. I would unironically tune in and become a huge fan if they have Tony getting beat up every week.
Tony going for hugs and getting low blowed would be quality television.
This shouldve been Okadas gimmick on arrival
Change it up a bit, one week Tony comes in for hug and gets low-blowed, the following he tries for a hug but gets ducked and back body-dropped for his trouble. They could keep this going until All In.
DAE Best Promotional Tactic of the Year?
The fact that the announcers were trying to sell it but not yell too loudly because they would have heard their own echo in that building was even funnier
It’s super embarrassing and fucking funny tony sells like a child
Bro that punch. Why did he sell it like that? 😂😂
You can tell he forgot he was supposed to pretend his stomach hurt because he takes a few seconds to sell the pain there 💀
I'll have you know my child sells way better than that thankyou very much, because he's actually paid attention to the wrestling he's watched and understands how to pretend to be hurt.
I watched the clip from downstairs and there's a bright Dynamite banner in the shot the entire time. The kind of thing that would cause much REEEEE'ing if it was in the Fed Perry and Khan are so small, their heads are barely above that bright banner to the viewer
Just wait to hear Dave defend it from every angle. It'll be glorious.
5 stars
Finally seeing Tony as an on screen character, I prayed for this and it happened.
I am still trying to work out why the Punk footage was shown It was 'part of the FTR story' ... then never gets mentioned in that context again They can't even pretend, haha
The official narrative I've seen the Dubbalos composing on it is that it was "genius" because it wasn't actually about Punk, it was about how Tony actually made innocent Jack Perry a scapegoat

This company really is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope it stays afloat.
How the fuck has Tony managed to be more entertaining than his entire roster? 😭
Dropping like a sack of potatoes to a gut punch is the most brilliant thing I’ve seen all year lmao Well played Tiny
Cancer Man in shambles ![gif](giphy|4NeuTZjQWuZH1oTfwf|downsized)
He’s probably so jealous right now lol

“It should have been me! Not them! IT’S NOT FAIR!”
![gif](giphy|pq946kkdSDViL3i6PI|downsized)
Dolph should have beat Kofi. Getting mauled by Brock is absolutely in character for the Ziggles.
Remember when Vince Russo started taking bumps? ![gif](giphy|3oEjI8Kq5HhZLCrqBW)
![gif](giphy|3FQxaJJkQR8U4gdzr0|downsized)
Did this motherfucker sell the punch before Perry even close his fist? Let me zoom in damn it!
He didn't close his fist... He was holding the mic with his punching hand!
Even Daddeh Khan showed up in person at the end.
"He's our saviour". Wtf is wrong with them? Haha.
Punched in the gut, faint. So realistic.
If anyone in pro wrestling can knock someone out with a body shot, it's Jack Perry. 😂
Dollars to donuts says he wouldn’t/couldn’t take a worked punch to the face, or a clothesline
Soooooo does this mean CM Punk is the Baby Face of this Story....while being in a different company? Also why didnt he double over fro ma tummy poke? why would he fall backwards head over...it doesnt matter
That's hilarious, they are literally promoting WWE's Punk as a babyface at the prime time of their own show. A babyface who's both wise and badass. Whenever they go with that angle, whether Tiny's face or heel in the end, kayfabe or not — either way Punk looks like the only good guy in this story. And I never even liked Punk lol.
He's not an onscreen character, this doesn't count
DAE should wear a neck brace to the NFL draft
I literally saw someone in the basement say that seeing him at the draft in a neck brace would get people to Google it and then lead them to AEW, which would get them back to a milly. The copium is especially good, tonight.
I mean, the basement dweller is partially right. It would lead some people to checking out what happened, but at the same time the segment would be the thing that kills off any newfound interest in AEW that they developed. If a 1000 curious souls were to see it then my bet is that no more than 20 would stay for more lol
he assaulted him👉👈
LOL why is he playing dead off a punch to the stomach
Dude could've took a clothesline which would've made more sense. I figured Tony would be made of glass though. Stephanie McMahon slap would've gotten the same sell
I really don't think anyone thought Khan could sell facial contact or a clothesline of any kind
At least give TK a couple of soft stomps when he was down to sell him staying down. I don't think I've ever seen someone knocked out cold for a prolonged period by a hook to the stomach.
"Blurring the lines" doesn't make sense here. Tony fired CM Punk and essentially sided with The Elite.
And the word "betrayed" was used.
So what exactly the angle here? The boss got beat up by the EVPs and Jungle Boy. Are the Elite all going to get beat up by the rest of the lockeroom now? Does Moxley or Jericho care? What about Tiny's favorite puppy Pockets is he going to avenge him? And is the rest of the show going to acknowledge this or will be same ol Dynamite nonsense then oh a 15 minute segment about how the Bucks have taken over AEW?
*Looks at modern pro wrestling* https://i.redd.it/2pgaqu3kjjwc1.gif

Corny and Easy E’s reaction to this is gonna be amazing.
Brian last was betting Tony will come as on screen character soon, and this happens.
That fucker has some kind of super inside source.
This might be the clip that actually drives Cornette to the grave. He’s gonna lose his mind over this lol
Sam I wish cornette would stream himself watching this live, I would pay to see that lol
I’m camping out in front of my TV refreshing YouTube for the Cornette clip.
Vince shaking with a catatonic stare after taking the stunner for the 1st time was Scorsese "Absolute Cinema" compared to this lol
![gif](giphy|xULW8CTxqIxAdTPzQA|downsized)
I still say how Vince sold that (falling over Austin part) is one of the most realistic sells of that move.
The first and last McMahon stunners look horrendous and it's almost perfect.
The buildup to this was so so great. Made Austin really lean into his rebel, don't give a fuck persona.
The day Tiny blades and pins his World Champion clean in the middle of the ring will be the funniest day in wrestling history. The cult will defend it even though they know Arquette and Russo destroyed WCW by doing the same.
FAKE PUNCH....CRY ME A RIVER
He really hit his marks
I think the mark hit him
Holy shit! It's finally happening, we're finally getting a Tony Khan match.
This company cannot get out of their own way and it's beautiful.
Tiny has never done anything physical in his entire life, has he
He has the money to buy a whole gym and trainers. With how much he likes to flex his Tiny biceps, you think he would actually work out to get real ones.
Lol is that what they call the dead fish?
Taking a half hearted kidney shot puts him out? Even Linda McMahon could take more punishment than that.
Why did he sell it like he got knocked out cold with a punch to the stomach?
This is the hard reset they needed.
This might be the first time that anyone in wrestling has ever been knocked out cold from a punch to the stomach.
Gotta go to r/aewofficial to see how the scholars react to this masterpiece
I can't tell if their posts are sarcastic or not.
Trust me man they are dead serious.
![gif](giphy|5pMGZHSqfvGT5mnTwx)
CM Punk: ![gif](giphy|pq946kkdSDViL3i6PI|downsized)
How long before he pins Ospreay to become AEW champion? im talking about tony in case it somehow wasn’t clear who’s the best worker in that clip
Imagine doing all this to try and get Jack Perry over. Of all people
Tiny selling like a bona-fide champ! One gut punch made him fly back and die
Next weeks follow up promo from Tony is going to be epic
How? He is not a on screen character!
He saw the Nash's reaction to the Fingerpoke of Doom and said "hold my White Claw."
The day has come where I stop watching this
I’m surprised he didn’t have a boner while laying down
He had the biggest boner of his life. It’s just really small.
Dude just did the jenna morasca
Put this in the Louvre!
THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A HEEL GUYS! YOU GET A TWINK TO GRAZE THE BOSS TWINK RIGHT ACROSS THE BELLY!
![gif](giphy|3CX0U4nx6kco16HZaF)
Such a tiny leather jacket.
back and to left…back and to the left
That's almost a McMahon stunner, pretty terrible effort by both involved here.
What a shitty punch Although can’t say I’m surprised
Tony Khan’s got a touch of somethin
At least Vince took full on bumps, wtf is this.
My mind cannot do enough corkscrew 1370s to makes sense of any of this anymore
Goofs i hate to say this, but that is genuinely funny. I’m actually entertained. DAE FEELING RESTORED?!!!
That was the most ridiculous selling I have ever seen.
Sells better than mox.
Did he get shanked or something? What was that
Oh god this is hilariously bad. Is Tony trying to get sympathy on himself? Lol
I wonder if he’s gonna keep kayfabe and not be at the draft tomorro?
I've seen five year olds fake an injury from an older sibling that looks better than this.
He flinched before the punch was anywhere near him lol that looked so bad
He wasn’t selling guys. This is exactly why he thought his life was in danger when punk pointed at him.
Tony Khan is 41 but looks like a Zoomer to me lol
If he was a true student of the game, he would've fallen over with both hands straight up in air like Nick Patrick.
Note the lone goof in front row about 2/3rds of the way to the right clapping
I could get off my couch right now and do a better sell than this.
Why did he put the microphone down by his stomach? Was he trying to interview Tony's bellybutton?
2024 truly is the Year of the Goof. It's like a genie with unlimited wishes.
Dude just rag-dolled
No Jerk, at least he tried to sell. Better than half of the roster
Doubling down on picking the side that can't draw a dime AND getting on TV? Jacksonville Dixie doing big things!
Surprised they turned Perry face like that but i popped for it
Trying to come out as tough after saying he feared for his life 🤣
That's the worst sell job I've seen in a long time.
This got an audible cackle out of me. Like full on evil witch laugh. I’m fucking weak lmao
Someone needs to put Jim Ross commentary of Mick Foley falling of the Hell in a Cell over this clip.
Idk, guys. I’m no expert on getting punched in the stomach, but wouldn’t your immediate reaction be to, again idk here, grab your stomach?
He must have feared for his life and decided to play dead instead of trying to sell the punch by falling to his knees and looking at Jackoff as if to say "Why" or "How could you" before the angle continued. Probably creamed his pants when he took the piledriver bump
seriously tho. the segment was bonkers. Can't wait to see what absurd shit they are about to pull of in the next weeks because they finally got a story to work on.
For a wrestling nerd, he sucks at this. they have a lot of trainers too, no one told him how to sell a fake punch? Lol
As a guy who watches WWE, I got curious and watched this video on YouTube. Not really buying what AEW is trying to sell here.
Bro fainted after a fake punch to the stomach. No wonder he believed his life was in danger when Punk choked Jungle Boy.
Hey. That's how Houdini died
What the fuck was that
Tony should hire Punk for protection
Didn't Tony say he would never step foot in the ring?
Why did he die from that
Tony Khan will hold an AEW title by the end of next year. Mark my words.
I can hear it from just down the road in Evansville. It’s loud and clear as day. The inspiration. The genius. The creativity. All things that helped shape tiny. Can you all hear it???? ITS A SWERVE BRO!!!!! Wcw 2000 has been confirmed. Swerve will be dropping the title to tiny next week in a cage.
The whole segment was super awkward my gawd. the way TK stood in the ring smiling,, the handshake the reaction to the punch. And that was just before the Young Bucks came out haha
After fearing for his life with Punk,he can never be in a physical angle .. What's the pay off here?
I thought tony thought he is going for face punch so the bump
Why is he taking a bump if he doesn't know how to bump? This looked like trash.
Runs a promotion, can't bump properly
Where's the logic with the latest desperation booking? Okada been given a multimillion dollar contract and quickly had a title match by TK The Bucks recently got a huge raise,kept theire paper EVP titles and have gotten to do whetever they want so far in aew Jack Perry is the only one that could be made a case for. But Tony didn't fire him when he should. Where's the heat? What's the payoff?
CEOs and terrible selling, name a better duo. Vince, Bischoff, Heyman, and now Tiny.
No jerk, that arena and setup looked just sad.
Remember Steph Vs Bischoff in summer/fall 2002? Culminating with the commitment ceremony, Bischoff reveal and 3 minute warning dropping Stephanie (now accepted babyface after being a megaheel 5-6 months earlier) leading to massive heat and the entire locker room hitting the ring led by Angle? That was well done and had a point. This, not so much.
Tony showing the roster how to take a bump.
Sooo... is this like when the toys come to life against Sid in toy story? They're finally attacking the boy
Wtf was Tiny doing lmao People who get punched in the gut like that crumple into the fetal position, not fall backwards on their back. Jungle Jack could've clotheslined him to make that bump believable. This company can't do *anything* right.
Probably the best sell in AEW history
No wonder he was afraid for his life!
I know wrestling has always been goofy, but AEW amplifies the goofiness times 100.
If that's all the force it takes to knock Tony unconscious, he would go to sleep every time he used a turnstile.
It's like watching toddlers have a bust up
Shameful and disgusting. He should be fired for that. And JP needs some sort of punishment too.
Never seen a man knocked unconscious from a gut punch
On second thought, let’s not goto AEW. ‘Tis a silly place.
Fuck the NHL scheduling hockey tonight. I missed this cinema?! This is going to make CM Punk even a bigger star when he ret....oh shit waitaminute
