[@D2Kprime]

Triple H did not "take a shot" a Will Osprey. You know how many wrestlers over the years chose not to come to WWE because of it's schedule or left because of the schedule? Hell, Brock Lesnar himself left because of the schedule back in 2004. While I'm sure it has to do with managing his leukemia, Roman Reigns currently works a limited schedule and has the last 5 years. It is not "harmless" to be fixated on taking shots at a superior-product when it does NOTHING to enhance yours. If shows that you are tone-deaf to your own faults and are saturated in your own arrogance.

[@dkm07305able]

I think these guys should take their own advice. You don't have to report on every shot or would be shot AEW or WWE makes. You guys like many other channels make it tribalism and then complain about it.

[@BallasInc23]

Andy loves the AEW shots against WWE but thinks WWE shouldn't send any (and none are ever on TV only in interviews, unlike AEW which uses THEIR on air time to speak about WWE)

[@Tompeteux]

WC are either oblivious to their own stupidity or hypocrites of the highest order.

[@carlosr6462]

Tony Khan has compared WWE to Harvey Weinstein recently...AEW's CEO supports tribalism and does it all the time.

[@thribs]

I still don't get Toni's issue with WWE. She was in a title match when she got called up. She was being used.

[@Boztix]

I love watching yall but why is it whenever WWE says something about AEW once it’s “punching down” or “starting it” but when aew frequently mentions WWE it’s just “fun”

[@registereduser]

Double standards.

[@MetalED]

Put Hamflett back on the news. Keep Murray off camera.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

What's was the point of Toni Storm calling out WWE? Due to Cody's story, there was a reason why everyone was celebrating in the ring. She left WWE over 2 years ago and became successful in AEW. Be happy and move on.

[@CoS-ci5gd]

I didn't even know she was in WWE lol. But I do think she's awesome.

[@mikeygraves16]

I love how people get all up in arms over little stuff like that and get defensive over it as if it was a personal slight towards them, without ever stopping to wonder if the wrestlers themselves (Cody in this case) aren't just sitting back and chuckling at it because they might be actually friends and know that actual humans joke around and mess with each other

[@GamingGal67-mr9ob]

She was wasted in WWE

[@ultradude6864]

She was a quitter!! It's so strange former WWE stars who go to aew always have something bad to say bout the WWE but not the other way around why is that??🤔🤔🤔

wwe: takes subtle shot whatculture: that’s just wrong you suck😩 Aew:takes shot whatculture: it’s just honest fun and it’s okay!🙂 just admit you both get on your knees for tony. you always say we shouldn’t pick sides but your bias is super clear

[@OTJ8995]

It’d be pointless to extend Jeff’s contract. WWE wouldn’t have any interest in him at this point outside of the Hall of Fame. As far as the high flying style goes, the younger generations have left him behind. And as much as I liked the Hardy Brothers 20 years ago, neither man should be in the ring at this stage. That’s not to mention his issues with substance abuse. Tony Khan has a tendency to sign wrestlers for who they were years ago rather than today. Jeff isn’t going to be of much use as single and with Matt gone, any tag team he’s inserted into is going to feel third rate. TNA seems like the perfect place for the Hardys to finish their careers.

[@user-ci6hb3mq1q]

Jeff got the DUI the week they were gonna win it all, nobody to blame but them

I’m not a WWE or AEW stan but this guy Murray can’t be objective at all. He subtly feeds into the tribalism he claims to hate especially when it comes to his precious AEW

Ok im sorry but seriously can we stop talking about Jericho as if people are just "over him." The crowd started to turn on him at World's End, the day credible and yrs long sexual assault allegations came out against him. This isnt normal "go away" heat, this is Vince go away heat. The mans probably a predator and yet everyone acts like the heat is wrestling related, like hes just overstayed his welcome. NO...this is about the allegations ffs. Same reason why people booed Steveson at the Bash last yr

[@El_hombre_malo]

Sexual assault wow explain crazy itch says something and everyone jumps on the wagon assuming.

[@timwright3218]

I hope the Hardys have a brief retirement tour. I'd like for them to be able to walk during their retirement.

[@patricknoll81]

I legit feel like clicking off every time I see an AEW vs WWE story come up when Andy is on. He is so passive aggressive towards WWE and for AEW, it makes it hard to even absorb the content objectively. I don't watch AEW. I do, however, like to keep up and I personally don't care about all the back and forth drama. I watch these videos to catch up, just to see someone misrepresent details, take half-assed shots and put spins on one side vs the other....then punctuate the story with "it's all good fun, why ya gotta hate?" It's genuinely infuriating.

[@ste1bro]

Same here. The worst kind of hypocrite is a sanctimonious hypocrite. I rolled my eyes when I saw these two in the chairs. "Here we go again, another lecture while simultaneously stoking the fires of tribalism..."

[@frankd5119]

It's become internet chic to hate Jericho. His match last night was really good. I'd like to see the people booing take those shots when their his age.

Jim Cornette made a fool out of this whole page btw.

[@sean2520]

Jim Cornette is only relevant to his toxic little cult

[@RajR96]

Really? Where?

[@kirbyr1473]

Don’t usually comment but this lecturing about tribalism while adding to it is ridiculous. Reporting about Toni’s comment is debatable but Andy then justifies it by saying WWE started it, is showing Andy to be very biased. This is especially evident with him saying made comments about Ospreay and AEW. No he didn’t. He doesn’t mention Ospreay at all and the comments aren’t a shot at AEW. So really try to take your own advice or just admit you are part of the problem.

[@CoS-ci5gd]

That's my main problem with their comments too. "WWE started it", because Triple H made a general statement about what kind of people he likes to have in the company? They could at least provide proof that Triple H was exclusively talking about Will Ospreay since they are soooooo sure he was only talking about him.

It's getting harder to escape the shill allegations when you guys openly criticize podcast you disagree with. As a platform you should be as objective as possible even if the others do tend to say stupid s***. The other guy that's talking was the greatest example of the competition a lot of people pretend that the current product is and is justifiably good or bad One of the greatest wrestling minds ever and got the closest to the goal that the person you worship is trying to reach. And that's despite him occasionally saying something stupid or indifference. You guys are a great platform Just try to be better about being less biased and more objective as an overall platform, just an idea though

Correct headline: Jericho works marks who think they can't be worked.

[@kellijones6481]

Jericho has essentially become what Hogan was in WCW. He always has to look strong despite being in his mid 50s, whenever someone does beat him, he always gets his win back so no one gets over, and fans still haven’t forgotten the Kylie Rae story even though I don’t think anything will come of it. What was the purpose of Jericho beating Hook and beating him convincingly, what good did it do for anyone?

[@xDECAY7x]

I can’t believe TK couldn’t find something for the Hardy’s to do

[@MS-Voltus]

I think, Jericho should have taken a break after his ocho run. Also, I get the feeling, that he wants to do more in the ring, than he is capable at this stage of his career. That's a big difference to Sámoa Joe, wo, like you said, knows, what he can and can't do anymore and works accordingly. And that's also part of the reason, why Joe deserved to be world champion an Jericho isn't anywhere near the title anymore.

Copeland wanted to work full time and WWE said no. WWE said they never even talked to Okada. WWE couldn't reach a financial agreement with Mercedes. Literally the ONLY big name free agent they could have been talking about was Will Osprey. Osprey even said he chose AEW because he wouldn't have to move to the US. Let's not be obtuse here folks, everyone who would bother to watch a pro wrestling media scrum knew exactly who he was talking about.

[@CoS-ci5gd]

@@tonyrigby6065 I find it naive that you think Will Ospreay is the first person to ever reject WWE because of the schedule. This is a breakdown that likely has happened multiple times with HHH and a star. You're also forgetting that Sasha Banks spoke to them, and it may have been more than just financials. It was actually reported that Banks wanted a lighter schedule if they don't pay her what she asked. But again, HHH was speaking in general: if Ospreay wants to raise his hand and say "hey hey hey he's talking about me specifically" that's on him; it doesn't mean HHH was talking about him specifically though.
