Acting mad is JR calling Triple H "a no good don of a bitch" after striking Stone Cold in the face with a sledgehammer. Schiavone wasn't acting upset/mad/ disappointed for the angle. He legit was upset because he hated what AEW was doing. The fact that he's gotta be so full of shit and say he was acting for the angle just shows that Tony Khan keeps his balls in his purse.

I know I'm gonna be in the minority for saying this but I think Shiavone is being genuine... Unlike some other people in the business he's never been a pathologial liar & there is a portion in the IWC that acts like they know the entirety of the business when in actuality they DON'T.

AEW always does damage control. Reminds me of when Alex Reynolds got knocked out and they immediately had him on their podcast saying that he was selling. Schiavone is obviously done, he's only collecting a money mark's paycheck. He obviously wants to just ignore this too, but like the Punk video, TK made him address it.

[@fearthechickenhawk2171]

Tony Khan is obviously on the spectrum. This is also why he claimed he feared for his life from Punk yelling. Tony is daydreaming about Starrcade 88, playing with wrestle buddies, hugging his favorite wrestlers, and recalling the matches while everyone else is trying to produce an episode of AEW . Meanwhile the Bucks and their crew are feeling they don't need to do anything in a way that can actually get the business over and that they can do carnie no sell bs. It all makes sense now.

[@eliebechara3811]

Tony Schiavone's best segment ever is his only appearance in TNA

[@kshinokevin]

Don West had turned heel against Mike Tenay. Schiavone's appearance in the ring, cutting a promo, was great; with Paul Bearer, Vince Russo and Goldilox ! Tony wore a yellow Hawaiian/Aloha shirt and turned heel against Tenay also.

[@georgivasilev8428]

9:18 - 9:30 That's pretty much everyone's attitude in AEW. From the very top all the way down. And that's exactly why there's no success, contrary to what they wanna tell you. There's niche success. They're successful with the audience that's their niche audience. But not one person further. And ok, like by all mean, jack off with your money, Tony Khan, do your thing, I don't give a shit about it either. But then your right to brag about how successful you are is taken away. Cause having the attitude of being ok with your audience and not caring about anyone outside of it's opinion is not success. Nor will it lead to any.

[@HistoricallyRomantic]

This is exactly what I expected him to do. Cry and moan and lash out because he loves those Tony Khan checks. He hasn't cared about wrestling in 25 years.

[@giantmess4335]

He just doesn't care? Enough to be visibly upset on this video about the things he heard or seen. Also, I understand also people calling this the finger poke of doom, anyone knowing how wrestlers are knows this was a last-ditch effort to hopefully break the 1 million marks so they can sign the dotted line for a new TV deal with having to spend more money just to stay on TV let alone the other costs. These god damn people have one of the most talented rosters in the US and they cannot for the life of them figure out how to get others over without bringing up old shit. Then you have the other side saying CM Punk assaulted someone and should be charged, if this was just 10 years ago, I would have been surprised if someone wouldn't have jumped his ass literally after coming back through the curtains for doing that stupid shit to a rental and would have messed over all the wrestler who would ever want a rental again. Find a clunker for a couple hundred bucks off some sites pay in cash and destroy that, this is like the idiots like that country star cockroach who threw a chair off a balcony because it seemed like a good idea at the time. PARTY!!! WOOO!! I feel like they are going to end up on a new channel eventually because aint no way that 940,000 started AEW they went down to like 514,000 and then back up to 800,000 before they lost 200,000 viewers to twitter to shit on them. Sad to have someone like him in the company and he sees how this can go because we watched TNA have these issues. Tony needs to tell tony that tony is a clown for that segment and then copywriting it. Not a good look for any Tony in the company.

[@daBIGcheesefries]

I’m kinda tired of the excuse “they just want us to fail”. No dumbass, we want good TV and a good product and vocalize it when it’s not. Schiavone sounds way too upset for someone who “doesn’t care” and comes off as he just doesn’t want the spotlight on him. I can’t speak for his feelings but his behavior is contradictory of that statement. Kayfabe is the easiest and laziest answer to everything these days.
