This interview was a let down. I feel Dave let Tony do his “insert AEW has the best wrestlers, we are doing many great things” style of ramble. I got nothing from this. Tony is an NPC in interviews just spewing pre loaded dialogue. I wish they had a real conversation like they usually do on Busted Open.

So you just want Dave to cuss him out and treat him like an asshole??? it’s two grown men just having a conversation. You all know that wrestling is not real right

[@IronTonyStark]

@@the8ofustogether No, what is wrong with you? How about asking pertinent timely and relevant questions in a RESPECTIFUL manner that don't simply pander to the whims of the interviewee, but challenge them and attempt to provide REAL information to the listeners. At this point, everyone knows that "AEW is great", "Everything is great", "we're having the greatest run of shows in AEW history", hyping up and recapping current and upcoming AEW matched that people who watch AEW's shows weekly already know about, etc. If the guy isn't going to transparent within reason (barring legitimate ongoing/pending litigation that he cannot or should not say much about), then there is little reason to actually indulge this guy and give him interview time. If that is the case, he may as well send an actual trained PR reprehensive to these interviews instead.

I wish Bully Ray would of been with Dave to do this interview.

All he does is talk stats (which half the time aren’t accurate) or just rambles like a nerd talking about their current fixation (I say as a nerd who does this as well). I just want an authentic decent interview from Tony. No rehearsed shit, no reciting random stats, no promoting shows (until the very end or when asked to), and no fucking telling the interviewer what can and cannot be asked; just him being able to have a real life conversation

He has everything in his head, but he misses the details, etc on how to flesh things out so people know what’s going on. And, AEW dans are right there beside him. He’s the son of a billionaire who wanted his toys to come alive so he could have friends and now it’s happened. If you’re into that kind of stuff, good for you.

I had to turn it off. Nothing personal against him or AEW. Everything he talks about just feels like an advertisement. I understand that is the ultimate point of the interview, but I listened for about 20 minutes and the takeaway was literally how bryan danielson, sting, moxlley, and others are great. I don't even disagree with him. I just think people kind of already know that and expect to hear more from an interview with the owner of the company. I think the guy could benefit from working on his communication a bit. It feels like he often doesn't know what to say so he just defaults to a basic advertising formula of how everything is great, attendance for select shows are the best of all time for the company, cite some information about one of the upcoming shows AEW Dynamite or Collision with their respective channel and start time, and repeat using slightly different words.

Haven’t watched yet, but predicting now half the answers will be “I can’t answer that, but I’m excited for X PPV, please buy tickets to this live event or PPV that’s coming up on X date.”

These 2 are made for each other. I like Dave in Studio and not at home

[@kingmagick8165]

Im the biggest aew fan, i love aew, and im appreciative for tony khan, i want to like tony khan, i go out of my way to try and find cool things about tony khan, anything likable about tony khan i push, i build it up, but bro, i hate his interviews, they are embarrassing for him and aew, i cringe pretty much the entire time, why am i thinking “dude stop talking, dude answer the question, dude wtf are u talking about” its just exhausting, and i know he stopped fucking with lagreca for a while so dave was gonna let him talk nonsense for as long as he wanted, tony khan its constantly in advertising mode, and defense mode in these interviews, i just want an interview where u answer questions quick and like a regular person, dont switch to a million subjects and venture off into the show or upcoming shows or this or that, im literally listening to this interview as i type this cringing like fucckkk dude please get to the point, let dave ask his questions, hes gonna pitch them respectfully, these interviews are so uninteresting and just come off so markish, for his own product, a product i love, let someone else speak for u, vince never said shit never did these interviews, let shane speak for u, let someone, jerry lynn, whoever ur right hand man is, bryan danielson, it has to be someone else, these interviews are awful and i love aew

After a magnitude of greats & greatest - I have a splitting headache. Great - Thanks Tony and Dave, you’re the greatest!

2 of the greatest moments in your life is standing next to a man 😂😂😂 what a mark

[@onune1155]

This man spoke close to 45 minutes and managed to say nothing. Again.

[@jobe616]

Dave's such a heel. He talks so much shit about AEW on Busted Open (just listen to any Thursday after Dynamite show)but when he has tony right in front of him...not a word about any of that.

[@rossmcdonald4865]

I turned it off when he said Jon moxley is the best world champion in wrestling ever

[@ass640]

By accolades he is, he’s won the most world titles in all the different companies

[@ProWrestlingBits]

A fun game would be to click on any point of the interview and if Dave Lagreca is talking you win $100. It's like the KZbin version of throwing Darts, and Lagreca is the Bullseye.

Im not high enough for this.

Tony Kahn: "My favorite wrestling action figure Bryan Danielson which is in mint condition still yeah and he saved wait no changed my life and AEWCW forever and ever.... Holds up toy box see mint condition"....

[@zaibraza8093]

Swear to God if I hear Dave rant about his lack of build up for Danielson v. McGuiness again I'll lose it.. bro didn't even try to push TK on it.. completely let it slide...

[@nikkip7045]

I’m only hlf way through and it seems like he just sifted balled him the whole time. Didn’t ask any hard hitting questions or anything really serious. I don’t even know if I wana finish it cause the dude is a fucking hypocrite

I wish I won the sperm lottery like tony Khan did

[@alainagenor8130]

Tony Khan literally will only answer self gratifying questions. I genuinely believe he’s low key a massive narcissist.

[@robertneedt7093]

I really love Busted open but this interview was bad. You sit one on one with TK. Why don't you ask a critical question? Empty arenas, low ratings, booking that makes no sense. If he has such a great roster wich he does why aren't Dynamite, Collision or Rampage performing?

[@colerobin7708]

Because he wouldn’t have agreed to the interview without knowing the questions first, same reason bubba ray isn’t there, TK would leave

[@ass640]

They don’t have empty arenas. And they’re a 5 year old company. They just signed a deal that makes the company profitable. Grow up

[@hotpepper5125]

😂😂😂😂👏🏻congrats Dave interviews his long lost son nobody cares. Even Violetta hated this idea

[@andrebdd5818]

Nothing like watching these hard hitting interviews

[@jamesmaskell3743]

This guy waffles so much he could set up a fast food chain... its also really weird how he talks like the storylines are real.

[@drewt2477]

Apparently, Tony time is an exclusive with Dave only... we want the hard-hitting questions from Bully...

[@sixtwentysix]

Tony would never.

[@georgeh4171]

After the Helwani interview where he embarrasses himself Tony is only gonna take these softball question interviews from now on. Ariel said during the interview Tony had to take multiple “bathroom” breaks and always came back with renewed energy 😂😂 Ariel has also said the unedited footage would be very embarrassing for Tony if he released it. I hope they use it in the eventual Fall of AEW doc on the WWE network 😂

[@chrisevans4370]

Wow. This guy just TALKS. He took a question about Dynamite 5 year anniversary and went on a diatribe about Moxley-Bryan story, Grand Slam, camera crew, Sting retirement, Darby’s character, Sting’s entrance music, kayfabe discussions on characters…I am lost.

[@therev_sungyungmoon24]

It sounds like a you problem, too slow to keep up.

[@seancushnie974]

I’d like to make a case for Omega and Danielson at Arthur Ashe was the biggest AEW ever felt, probably the apex of the company on live television

[@Fizz1138]

I was disappointed by this interview. After all the stuff the past month or 2 about being disappointed with a lot of the AEW product and wanting them to do better, but when the man in charge is right there it was just a nodding and agreeing setting him up to big up everything about his product because just about everything he talked about was "the greatest ever". He came off feeling like ole 45. Dave didn't ask him the tough questions, this was just a promotion for Grand Slam. I mean I get it thats why he would come on to do the interview, he hadn't come on in years until he needed Busted Open to advertise. Don't know what I expected, thats what Tony Time has always been.

[@furyboom]

He hasn't stopped talking lmao.

[@HawaiianHeat96]

bully would've cornered Tony in this Interview. he got lucky

[@AXWforever]

Balls deep

[@kkeauxldarrangements9332]

I thought everyone was overreacting in the comment section, but this really is one big advertisement instead of being an actual interview. But, I am happy to see Dave interviewing TK again though.
