Why Tony Khan Signing Shane McMahon Might Be Best For AEW

[@UnsungUnderground]

Literally the only reason I'd want him in AEW is for him to have a conversation about his dad with Christian

"PUT A DOT OVER HIS FACE"

[@TheodorosDimopoulos-fp3ge]

​@@StunnedByWrestlingIt just doesn't make complete sense that rhey ripley can physically attack men but men can't physically attack here or abuse here for example they should make dominik mysterio attack rhey ripley exactly the same way mjf attack Daniel garcia its just not fair all she had an ingender match with a Asian wrestler attacked now imagine they booked that dominik mysterio abused rhey ripley and injured rhey ripley face to face without liv morgan there alot blood pouring 🫗 on rhey ripley face rhey ripley crying alot it would get spectacular ratings dominik mysterio would put here in a stretcher the same way mjf put Daniel garcia on a stretcher and end with rhey going backstage to hopstial liv morgan comes out to hug dominik mysterio when rhey ripley is on stretcher or she incongruous him to do it even more that would really evaluated him to the darkest wrestling heel of all time.but I just think if there going to keep on doing this where man can't attack Rhey Ripley should request to leave wwe and do a storyline with liv morgan vs rhea ripley looser leaves wwe she even said she's going to end liv morgan carrer I am not saying she should leave wwe for ever but in tna should would be albe to fight in the men's division and she would 100 percent be tna mens world champion 🏆 🥇. Imagine dominik mysterio giving rhey ripley a black eye 👁 and then booing as uses hits firsts and when bloodies here and hits a piledriver from here on the top rop the fans are booing.

​@@StunnedByWrestlingplease do a video on what if rhea ripley goes to tna and becomes the second woman to win the mens world championship tessa blanchard was the first winner to win the impact world championship they should do a love relationship with rhea ripley and sami callihan can imagine the hype of him betraying here and she has a one on match with sami callihan for the tna World championship and she beats him for the tna World championship tessa blanchard beating sami callihan for the tna World championship.

I think it's a good idea.

[@leegregory7893]

The thing is, shane can actually be a really good asset on the business management side of things, and you can run some interesting stories that are grounded and not egotistical. Just have someone there to shoot down bits and pieces so he dont go too far. Shane was never bad early on with what he did, but the problem was that his father helped give him too much of a big head/control, and he ran way too far with it. A good way to genuinely bring him in can be in a role similar to Ted Dibiase if you have to as a kinda benefactor to mercedes if you wanna tie it into them being seen in public meeting. Many ways its could work.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Exactly. If Shane took one thing from his dad, it's how to run his business. If anything, he should be able to give Tony some guidance on how to run a wrestling company

[@leegregory7893]

@@StunnedByWrestling Exactly this. Same with how Jeff Jarrett helps with things behind the scenes with AEW. As much as Jeff was a devisive character he also has good business acuments and he really cares for the business just like shane.

[@ChrisKewl]

That is some smart booking, I think a combo of business and on-screen would be a winner.

[@AStupidID]

So many cool story ideas they could do with him in addition to the business acumen.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Exactly, just bringing him in as a manager would be a waste, but I'll bet he has some great ideas

[@elleni-41]

Well this will be very interesting..

[@Black-Circle]

all you need to do is see how he booked the 2021 royal rumble with him being in the final 4. vince was not happy

[@martynhawthorne7294]

Would boost the viewers for a few weeks just to see what happens and what be does another thing I’d be interested to see if he talks khan into bringing somebody in like a Kevin Dunn

[@Newtondose27]

Tony Khan knows what best for his business,and he listen to the fans and man we want Shane o men so badly.

[@stoozdee]

I’m all for chaos.

[@OMSOFFICIALS]

This would be something to create a Surge back into AEW. I personally think he has some good ideas for wrestling. I really want the company to improve

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Yeah, I really want to see them doing better

[@markboon2024]

@@StunnedByWrestling Personally I still mostly enjoy AEW. Get why some don't though. But the WCW comparisons from some really grate at my nerves, because I can actually remember how bad WCW was in 99/2000 and AEW at it's worst is nowhere near that dumpster fire.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Yeah it's still a long way off going to the depths of WCW 2000. Even as a WCW mark it was a hard watch every week

[@OMSOFFICIALS]

@@markboon2024 Thats My thing Im really enjoying the product for what it is. I don't think the show is going anywhere near the State of WCW (People who makes those comparison weren't old enough to see WCW)

Shane is a smart businessman and can bring new revenue streams to AEW.

[@zacheatsworld]

Didn’t know that Shane tried to convince Vince to buy the UFC. Fantastic video as always man! Love your content.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Cheers bro, glad you liked it!

[@krowenfernandes246]

The wwe vs aew storyline you mentioned would be amazing if done right. Same like the 90’s with wcw and wwf

[@Slacker_on_yt]

I would be interested if Shane shows up on Aew but if I’m being honest I would prefer if would go to impact wrestling and help rebuild and get it back to its roots

[@soulindenial5001]

Could bring up a mega storyline since TNA is in partnership with WWE

[@DomSte128]

I appeared on your video, LOL. I don't think AEW is desperate. Not at all, they are closing to sign a new deal, so they don't need Shane that much. However, I would like to see him in AEW not as a wrestler, but more like a manager/character figure in the storylines.

[@mysticx0]

have another glass of the kool aid

[@cathallynch1]

At this rate AEW have nothing to lose and we know Tony has the potential to grab whoever is available.

[@therubenpena]

He is also great with talent relations.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

That's true. I hear he gets on great with everyone

[@joelbrown2782]

Never say never in this industry. Although Shane McMahon still has shares in WWE, which are valued at $4 million. People might assume that he has a conflict of interest. I think he would work well with Tony and bring AEW to new heights.

[@Keepinspirin]

Shane does not have any shares in that company bruv

[@marioyungblood]

Shane Could make the Ratings Sky Rocket. He should be brought in. #MoneyMoney

[@kingash9831]

Or not even just be a business man Hell, he can be a great manager too Imagine him with someone like MJF Or someone like Okada Or even Swerve With his experience He can elevate them even further Or if not that idea Even as a GM like you mentioned would be good It would bring some sort of spark and entertainment I don't even watch AEW But for someone like myself who's watched Shane in WWE Him being in AEW can be a great way to make AEW entertaining

[@georgemunro9640]

Having a McMahon the right McMahon as a partner would what Tony Khan needs for AEW think of what the name McMahon means to the history of the Wrestling business and Shane has been apart of the business since he was a teenager so it would be great move for Tony Khan to bring Shane McMahon on board in AEW the Khan/McMahon partnership might just save AEW

[@westernsellers9148]

Next big signing since CM Punk in 2021

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

I made a comment on that very poll you did and AEW wont have any fans period if something doesnt change. The ratings and attendences are abysmal and if it's an exec position then I'm all for it.

[@swifty123]

I’ll take anything at this point if it means they improve. It would be ironic and hilarious too if they did business with a McMahon. But solid competition is important so the product never goes stale

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Yeah, I want them to get back to being serious competition to WWE. Dynamite getting beat by NXT is not a good sign

[@TBMartin]

I see my comment made this video. I want to make it clear that I'm a wrestling fan, not a brand fan so that means I'm a fan of wrestling regardless of the brand. So I hope you haven't mistaken my comment as a comment coming from a hardcore AEW fan because I'm a hardcore wrestling fan.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

I understand, but there is a hell of a lot of tribalism when it comes to AEW. It's almost as bad as the WCW/WWF divide in the 90s

[@TBMartin]

@@StunnedByWrestling I understand that but are they wrestling fans or are they brand fans? My money is on the latter so does their opinion matter when they are not wrestling fans? To me it doesn't. Let them fight it out amongst themselves because their opinion doesn't matter to me. I still enjoy wrestling regardless of their opinion, no matter the brand

[@StunnedByWrestling]

100% some people just have to pick a side. I just want wrestling to be as good as it can be across the board

[@TBMartin]

​@@StunnedByWrestlingI want the same. I do wonder where it started and where it finishes because I don't believe it's the same generation who lived through "the Monday night wars". To me there was no war because I didn't live in America and was forced to pick a side. Today's brand fans also don't need to pick a side because no one is forced to watch one or the other on the same night, technology is there to record one and watch the other at a later time. The tribalism brand fans just show in my opinion that they don't care about wrestling at all, so no need to take them seriously

[@NuMetalfan1996]

I would prefer Shane to take over creative in AEW.

[@TaliaIGhul]

Whatever your issues on this, one thing is for sure, if this happens, Shane is the only McMahon to have been on WWE, WCW, and AEW TV. Tony just better not have him book or wrestle any matches.

Really looking forward to hearing you speak on - _№¹·_ the business of _(and the optics of)_ such an unprecedented *world-wide demand* WWE is commanding amongst densely-populated markets _i.e._ _‘SummerSlam: Cleveland’_ and the potential ways PLE’s could be affected going forward. _№²·_ an exclusive video dedicated to the on-going rivalry between CM Punk & Drew McIntyre and how the effective implementation of long-term storytelling impacts both, business metrics _and_ television production. _№³·_ the hypothetical scenario where Triple H is eventually 'pushed out' of his current role _(due to circumstances out of his control)_ and what this _could_ mean for all Contracted Talents and the Fan populations, the overall health of TKO Holdings _and_ the overall health of the wrestling industry as a whole. *and the likelihood of this scenario being a catalyst which brings unforeseeable consequences - the magnitude of which could yield catastrophic and disastrous results. *- Hope you're doing well*

[@ivaylo-milev]

It is a crazy idea or I have a completely wrong perception of what AEW is. I don't see how their talent will like and support this

[@williamkirschenman]

Raw underground cant be that bad if the revived it on NXT. Shane could bring new light to AEW. He is more experienced in the business than TK. As a booker no keep him away from that. But as some type of outside advice could be good. He knows what needs to be done in the business, not his ideas but he knows some the secrets that could be beneficial towards the company. I dont see aew going belly up. Look at TNA still going strong 😂 AEW may dip but WBD isnt going to give up those rights anytime soon.

[@KadeemG61]

it’s a bad take and look, I love Shane, but he’s already past his prime at 54 and I don’t want to see him take any bumps in an AEW ring. Matter of fact, they should not re-imagining the day WCW died on the Final Nitro where it turned into a storyline and becomes “The Invasion” and as JR would put it best: “It Was A Wet Fart In Church.”

True, as a WCW fan it was a travesty to watch

[@BuddiesTalk2024]

[@raoulduke8725]

Tv deal looming low ratings zero growth,so AEW needs a story like Shane joining the company to generate interest,and hey if we keep the story alive maybe Shane will join for the 1 night rating boost,before bad booking kills his interest off… Sounds like something Jericho would whisper in Tony’s ear

What would Shane be there for besides the initial shock of a McMahon in AEW. He can't wrestle and his ideas are pretty bad.

[@TBMartin]

I honestly think Shane going to AEW will be a disaster. I'm not saying this because I dislike AEW, I say this because of Shane's history. Shane got let go from WWE for a reason we all know. So if Shane has the same mindset he had the last time in WWE then who is in AEW to tell Shane the word "NO"? There is nobody in AEW who tells others the word "NO" so what if he joins AEW and makes it all about himself, who is there to tell him the word "NO" when he was told the word "NO" in WWE

[@dhenderson1810]

Shane got let go by WWE because he wasn't Vince's favourite child, and Steph and Triple H always outvoted him.

[@TBMartin]

@@dhenderson1810 That's not true

[@rajakghosh6602]

Shane aint working for a minor league after working for the biggest promotion in the world. Aew can sign cena and bring Austin out of retirement it wouldn't do a damn thing, the very problem with aew its right at the top - Tony Khan. And hes not a booker but a match maker. He sees big names and all he can think about is dream matches. He cant book an angle for 3 months much less a year. And at this point he has too much ego to step aside and let a real qualified person to book the show.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

That's an interesting take, him being a match maker rather than a booker. I would hope that Shane could give him some guidance on how to run a wrestling company though
