[@CrashdummyNation]

Well fans didn't pay attention. Tony is passionate like us. He explained why he tweeted it. It's because the double standard...The week before WWE fans were making fun of Hook getting a title shot and he was undefeated....Tony just needs to fight with better booking not with Twitter lol

The thing is, if AEW just kept the Storylines and Booking SIMPLE, they’d probably get more viewers. Simple, easy to follow, uncomplicated, logical booking. 1+1=2… and they’ll get more viewers. Unfortunately it seems like Tony Khan was a little confused in Math class and has gone down the Terrence Howard side of things where he thinks 1 x 1=2 👀

This clip is perfect for anyone that listened to the AEW Dynamite review from two days ago and wants to listen to it again.

[@jackiejones3296]

Grand Slam has less than 4K tickets sold for a venue that holds 20K plus... at some point Tony Khan has to understand that pandering to mark in their mid-40s is a bad idea.

[@NJTRAF]

Been saying it from Day 1! I’m now 38, I grew up watching wrestling from around 1990/1991 onwards, and I don’t remember people being this weird about it around my age 🤷🏻‍♂️ … like, we all liked Hogan, Warrior, Sid, Flair, Sting, Bret, Shawn, Diesel/Nash, Razor/Hall, Austin, Rock, Undertaker etc. and back then the shit was - for the most part - sensible, although some of the story shit was beyond stupid with Vince leaning into fantasy shit too much and then WCW under Russo being a complete haemorrhoid! Tony Khan should have been building AEW with simple 1+1=2 booking. Simple, logical, easy to follow, and from the very beginning it’s been overbooked and overcomplicated

[@robdurfee6861]

He even switched the matches thinking that Nigel vs Danielson would bring all the old ROH nerds that remembered their rivalry since ROH took place around there a lot in the early 2010s, and it hasn’t helped at all. All the marks that remember are already gonna be there and that equals about 4k people🤣 It’s just crazy to me that Meltzer and Tony Khan both thought this PWG bingo hall/booking simulator game style of wrestling would appeal to the wide mainstream fans out there, and they can’t handle it now that they’re seeing that most people don’t care for it they make any excuse as to why instead of actually trying to fix it and bring people back. The WWE is definitely not perfect but at least they’re telling stories and for the most part they’re logical and easy to follow through the show, and that’s obviously what’s connecting with more people. Crazy, right?

I think Danielson and Nigel wanted the match before he retired.

Mox retires Danielson..or atleast he's credible enough for us to believe it ....Nigel and Darby aren't retirement matches, and aren't gonna make us think so...Mox is a retirement match..If not atleast the crowd could believe it....I want it to be Swerve or MJF.

[@CraigDelorme-o3k]

Well, why would anything involving Tony’s booking, since he’s been booking like a mark would for the last 5 years, be a surprise anymore? He got away with his booking for the first couple years, mainly because his booking was being compared to Vince’s booking, which by time AEW started had already become so nonsensically atrocious that he made Tony look like a fucking genius booker. But, just like how it was back in the territory days, where the bookers were almost always either a still active veteran wrestler or a retired one, that’s who is booking WWE now that Vince is gone. Triple H knows WTF he’s doing because he was always a student of the game and has grown a deep understanding of the business. He was first taught all about ring psychology during his training by Killer Kowalski and then he was able to learn over his decades in the business as a active wrestler, all about the psychology of booking too, which is why his booking makes fucking sense. Since Triple H took over booking WWE, he’s inadvertently exposed that besides being good at booking dream matches and put together strong PPV cards, which any basement mark could do, Tony doesn’t know how the fuck to do anything else as a booker. Tony doesn’t have that booking knowledge because he was never in the business before he started AEW, nor has sought out someone who could teach him all that shit. Now however, mainly thanks to ole Uncle Dave blowing smoke up his a$$ since AEW started, by constantly praising his booking, Tony now believes he knows WTF he’s doing as a booker and probably thinks that he doesn’t needs to learn anything else because all of Uncle Dave’s newsletter readers voted him Booker of the Year, 3 consecutive years. But, I’m not surprised about anything that involves Tony nowadays because I’ve been a devoted listener to both of Jim Cornette’s podcasts since 2017 and pretty much everything Cornette’s been saying about AEW since the start, before anyone else was saying it too, he’s been right about.

This is funny. It's like yall are putting the show over to take credit of the video package that yall had nothing to do with. I really think yall want the video packages because yall don't want to have to watch wrestling lol It's part of your jobs.p Tony Kahn wasn't making fun of Jinder he was pointing out the hippocracy of WWE fans criticism. He basically did what your doing now. It wasn't Jinder hate. He was saying if I did that yall talk smack...and here you are proving his point. Disco is trying so hard to give a positive review but Konnan who seems like he doesn't even watch the show is waiting to shit on it. Disco keeps stopping him. So he can make his point at the end. Konnan says it doesn't make sense that he didn't take the title shot. Disco trys to explain its like money in the bank you pick the right spot..Konnan says he would of took the shot. Lol What? Haha But since they obviously don't watch AEW Christian didn't decide it wasn't the right time. Moxley stopped him from taking the shot. It was also in the video package. Christian just said that as a joke to egg the crowd on. I agree it doesn't make sense story wise for Daniel to fight Nigel. I thought this 100% when I watched it. I understand from a story line point what yall are saying. I also understand that Danielson wanted the Nigel match before he retired. They could have done a better job with the story but I understand why atleast. I think Moxley should have caught up with Darby the week before and had this conversation. Ending it with a beat down. So then Darby shows up mad and atleast has a reason to agree to the fight lol Nigel needs to keep saying Danielson is a coward every week if he don't show, almost to the point of being annoying....Hit heavy on the point Danielson still isn't booked for the show....Do this until the night of when Danielson music hits.
