KONNAN responds to a fan of TONY KHAN'S version of ROH kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIi5l3mcgZVnnLc

[@rondoughhowell6442]

well Tony's version of ROH has become that PWG crap that the Young Bucks and Orange Cassidy were doing in California

[@joetroller514]

One more time for the people at the back: AEW is not a wrestling company. It's a 3D toy for the marky son of a billionaire. It only exists because Tony Khan wants to see Mexicans wrestle Japanese guys. Then he wants to hug the guys backstage.

[@jackiejones3296]

what makes AEW so weird to me that you can flat out tell just by watching Dynamite which wrestlers are in Tony Khan's ear. You have to know that people like Chris Jericho, The Bucks, Mone & MJF can straight up tell Tony Khan what to do but they somehow convince Tony Khan that he's the boss.

[@robintst]

AEW is all about the matches khan doesn't care about a storyline. just a excuse for a match. every thing they do is just to create a excuse for the guys in it to have a match. Any storyline they try to do is either bad or it's a halfassed angle just to get to the match. Even punk vs mjf was just a bunch of 4th wall breaking shoot talk leading into a match. it was just the best thing on a shit show so people overrated it.

This is how badly AEW are doing: people who used to shill for them and move goalposts in order to defend how badly they were now know they can't lie anymore. People will buy tickets, no one wants to watch on tv and it's all because the creative that solely comes from Tony Khan... it SUCKS.

That’s just one of many huge problems ALL Petite Wrestling has. Boney Tony believing he’s a combo of Bischoff, McMahon, and Paul Heyman is another big one. Him actually saying that fantasy booking on message boards and writing fake shows as a kid “gave him a good feel for what real booking is like” 😂. He also said writing for 3 people gave him experience to know weather the fans liked what he was writing for certain fantasy matches and helped him learn if his characters were “getting over” or not”. He actually said that stuff. Smh. Hey Tony, what fans?! What characters?! What experience?! It’s one of the hands down most delusional things I’ve ever heard someone say or any subject.

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

Khan wanted to be an alternative, and it worked when Vinny Mac was ripping up scripts and putting on the same type of show. But now with Triple H and Shawn Michaels running WWE And NXT, they are incorporating different types of wrestling for the varying pallets of fans, and that is putting TK in a position to pivot to garner attention rather than stick with the original plan. Also, it doesnt help signing former WWE talent that relies solely on the WWE creative to get over, and it doesnt quite translate that way in AEW where they are given the freedom to create, something they are not used to doing imo.

In my opinion, the fans are the biggest problem AEW has. Their attitude turns off the casual wrestling fans from even giving the product a chance. I've criticized WWE and other promotions, but I've NEVER had one of their fans threaten to hack me or beat me up if we saw each other on the streets over my critique of storylines or how a wrestler is being used.

[@djmend96]

AEW fans are great at being toxic and being hypocrites.

Simple answer to the question Yes everybody says he's a nice girl but he's not a boss.

A boss defuses the situation before it gets to that point That's not Tony Khan

[@danehockam-dunn8193]

The problem with AEW is that Tony Khan only considers the opinions of die-hard wrestling nerds as valid. If you're booking to get stars from Meltzer and Cage Match ratings, then you're excluding everyone except the message board trolls. The Meltzer/Alvarez argument about dvr-ing overruns was the perfect crystallisation of their problem. Enthusiasts will go to those lengths to ensure they will catch the end of the show, casuals and new watchers will go "oh, that sucks" and move on to something else. Congratulations, you've lost a viewer purely by making it too hard to access your product.

[@giorhivers1672]

When I first got into AEW, it was mainly because of the matches. I can't say it was for the stories. I started watching during the pandemic, and it rekindled my interest in pro wrestling. But eventually, I shifted to WWE because their stories captivated me more. I do enjoy wrestling and even perform professionally. I watch wrestling to learn. AEW has some good content, but it also has some dumb stuff. It’s not about choosing WWE over AEW. WWE does safer stuff in the ring, but it's not boring to me. It's their storytelling that grabs my attention. For pay-per-views, I recently watched a WWE one because I know the storylines are continuing, and there's decent to good wrestling, depending on who’s involved. In AEW, the only thing I was looking forward to was Swerve vs. Ospreay because they’re great wrestlers, and I like the little story between them. But overall, it wasn’t enough to make me buy the pay-per-view, especially considering the price. I’ve bought a few AEW pay-per-views in the past but ended up disappointed, so now I just wait for highlights online. AEW undoubtedly has some of the best wrestlers and puts on great matches. But great matches alone aren't enough to keep people interested. You need engaging drama and good storytelling to keep viewers hooked. That’s just my perspective.

[@jamesreding6336]

That proves that the wrestlers are just Toys to him to play with

[@charlescomeauxjr9037]

Why haven't we seen Starks, Wardlow, or Hobbs? Even if Hobbs is hurt do something with him. Daniel Garcia is getting the big man push, that Hobbs, B Cage, and or the big Texan that Jake was coming out with. I think it's stupid to have Swerve a potential top star in AEW facing Osprey already. One of them will lose and that doesn't help either one of them. I would love to see Briscoe and Juice as tag partners. The wrestling, and the promo they could give.

[@charlescomeauxjr9037]

Archer is the Texan, Big Bill. Nah Garcia I guess Cassidy will be a super heavyweight. The Bucks should be the chicken shit heels along with Jungle Boy. Okada should be fighting their battles, and they should be attacking with numbers, and cheating. Picking fights and hiding behind Okada. I would enjoy that Bucks group. Nah they have the Garcia push also.

Swerve, Okada, MJF, and Osprey should be in a feud with 4 other wrestlers. Swerve and Starks, Okada and Miro, or Brian Cage, MJF and Wardlow, Osprey and Brian Danielson,, actually that should be building for Danielson's last match.

I don’t really see AEW having that many problems. I quit watching wrestling about 14 years ago because of how cheesy it got and how bad and cheesy wwe was getting with the PG era after growing up watching WCW/WWF I just couldn’t anymore. After seeing what TNA was doing, WWE seemed boring. Then hogan came 🤢AEW got me back into wrestling in 2019. I still can’t manage to watch raw or smackdown bc every time I watch it, it is extremely cheesy and overproduced and not really directed to someone my age. So I know a lot of the wrestling media and former wrestlers aren’t a fan of how AEW is but the reality is I wouldn’t watch any major wrestling promotions if it weren’t for AEW so I do love it as it is. Idk if it’ll blow up as much as it was when punk joined but I still love the promotion and truly wouldn’t watch wrestling if it weren’t for AEW. (Minor shot but punk is not a good worker whatsoever now and his matches outside of mjf in aew were meh.)

[@jesterr7133]

The problem is and always has been the booking. Tony has the talent on his roster. He had a chance with Wardlow, Mark Briscoe, and Eddie Kingston. He had a shot with The Acclaimed. Guys like Will Hobbs and even Nick Comoroto would be easy to get over. Just hire someone to talk for them and smash them over. It's not rocket science. Daniel Garcia's real life story is enough to get him over as a babyface, especially if you booked him right. Nic Nemeth could get over if they had spent some time on him. I could even buy into a character like Orange Cassidy if Tony had given him a backstory and a reason for existing. The booking is killing AEW. Tony claims to be a superfan, be he doesn't seem to understand booking at all.

Tony is losing because he’s not good at this. End of story.

Competing egos with propensity......F it! Just call it backstage politics. And speaking of stars lost in the shuffle, Darby should have been pushed a long time ago. He's been paired with Sting too long.

Who even are those guys in the thumbnail next to Tony Khan??

[@mansion1719]

Since AEW began, all Tony Khan can come up with is forming factions and people challenging others to "dream matches". That's all he has. Seriously, If I'm wrong tell me ONE idea he's come up with that isn't a faction or "i want to wrestle you".

Storm vs. Shirakawa titty war? 😂😂

[@Am0ment0fB]

What the hell are you talking about? You forgot about all them Battle Royales and tournaments? I can't wait for the Battle Royale Tournament. Ha.

​@@duckmercy11Storm ain't got no puppies, though. Ha.

The story with the mask and Adam Cole I guess lololol but that means absolutely nothing now

[@SigmaChicken09]

The big guys are job guys

Aew was only good for 2 years after that company went straight into the toilet

[@hybridkidakarolandomota420]

TK looks like he just gives big contracts to guys so he can hug and blow them backstage.

BC Gold is a top merch seller? Jay White paired with guys spending so much time on the mat, they should get a pillow.

Who the f*** is buying liv Morgan merch???

OMG take that E- drones

Disco Inferno pwns the internet mark podcasts

[@shawngreenidge3591]

Hell yeah Tony Khan is AEW's biggest problem. Yes, he's their biggest asset because he's the banker, but his horrible booking and burial of all of his wrestlers is hurting the promotion badly.

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

Short answer, yes. Long answer, hell yes. He's playing MyGM mode for real. He really needs a handler to vet his tweets. Dude is spouting the same nonsense I'd expect from a 20 year old mark; not the owner / operator of a multi million dollar wrestling promotion.
