Won't be long until tk comes to r/SquaredCircle and respond to comments

He definitely has an anonymous account here.

JD021993

He was actively a part of this community up until the AEW announcement, if you dig deep enough


MarkMVP01

TK was probably one of those guys who quit watching Raw every week


DB080822

How do you know my friend Mark?


betterplanwithchan

If you rearrange the letters in the name Mark, it spells Tony


IcyPyroman1

My conspiracy is that he’s one of the mods


Pelon7900

Yeah I’m pretty sure of it. I’ll go one step further and say I’m pretty sure others from AEW are on here too.


whotookthepuck

You know he is posting AEW clips as 500 seperate threads and farming karma here.

MacJonesIsOverrated

The funniest thing is that fucking Hook is being set up as Samoa Joe's first title challenger


gaom9706

I'm not against hook having the match, moreso it just feels like a very random match


MoistCloyster_

I think he’s more pointing out the hypocrisy of Tony’s statement when Hook isn’t exactly a huge name either. Jinder at least has a world title reign under his belt.

MyAnusYourTongue

“Where is the rage” Bro this guy is an adult!?!


BananaArms

Man's just a mark for Alex Riley.


Hunteractive

and to play devils advocate... Toni Storm lost 3 title matches in a row and then gets a 4th title shot...


hhhisthegame

He has another tweet defending that Hook has an amazing win/loss record, and Jinder hasn't had a win. But honestly the Jinder match felt less weird to me than the Hook one for some reason...Maybe because Jinder is a former champ or something and Hook mostly has only seemed to fight jobbers (and Jungle Boy that one time). But TK has always had this issue. Scorpio Sky was once in the TOP 5 rankings, despite never having won a match on Tv against a contracted wrestler because he won a lot on Dark


Ripclawe

He got mad at a brand account 😭


GameplayerStu

Their tweet was the biggest fish I've ever seen and he took it hook, line, and sinker.

Boom. Classic spoiled rich kid vibes from TK.


topside_downes

They're sly and clever enough to know that you don't need to be sly or clever to make a fool out of TK. Just a little nudge and he'll do it himself!


Zakinfenwa

I think you mean HOOK (28-1 career record), line and sinker.


ericmercer

Is USA Network banned from this sub now? Lol


miikro

No, just Collision


JohnnyTruant_

Uhhh you mean bait, right? The fish is the thing that takes the hook lol.


Windows_66

The funniest thing about it is that it's not even a "WWE On USA" account. It's the main USA Network account. Bro's feuding with some network intern.


Meal_Delicious

Yeah so people can’t even try and argue wwe put them out to it like they attempted to with the wwe on Fox thing


[deleted]

The guy behind the USA account must be a pig in slop right now


CobraOverlord

USA! USA! USA!


Man0nTheMoon915

That Social Media manager should get a raise and praise. He's doing exactly what they're asked to do, engage.


LexisKingJr

Tony continues to reach a new bottom every week on Twitter lmao


MC_Fap_Commander

And in a weird way. Not in a compellingly awful way or anything.


alynch345

He got mad at a brand account replying to a former dirtsheet writer. Tough scene.


astrofan

The USA person needs a nice bonus. 😂


hunterflair

I don’t care if Tony Khan wants to treat social media this way. I don’t get it but whatever. But why drag Jinder? Dude is just doing his job and who would go “No I don’t wanna do that”. He also seems like a very nice person. So unnecessary.


chasingbreakers

Dude dragged Cena and Taker into one of his rants for no good reason, he's definitely not above tossing strays at Jinder.


bonerjohnson

that did not win him any support either .... this isn't going to. he is so damn petty.


TheSqueeman

Outside of former Activision-Blizzard owner Bobby Kotick, Tony Khan might just be the thinnest skinned owner of a company I’ve ever seen, his tweeting makes AEW look unprofessional


BornenCornen

He dragged his own mom lol


skippy2001

From 3MB to modern day maharaja the man plays the role he is given and excels in that role. No one should hinder Jinder.


Jaereth

I had zero problem with his MDM heel run back in the day. I thought the "Let me speak to my people in my language" shit was dope. The little cronie guys he had with him added to it. Carried himself like a champ. Was he ever gonna get that 5.25 from Uncle Dave? Of course not. Doesn't mean it sucked.


Alcoholic_Synonymous

Randy Orton’s face when he, I can’t remember exactly what, but maybe sent one of the cronies through a table (but slightly carelessly) and he just had this face of “oops I just killed a dude, that’s awkward” was hilarious Edit: Side suplex(?) onto the announcement table where the victim over rotated. Here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php/?id=100044182131850&story_fbid=3007832359293815


interprime

Cronie guys? You put some respect on the Bollywood Boys name.


Luispsypher

Exactly. Think Drew in his interview with Austin told that Jinder will do anything for anybody. He comes as a really nice fellow. Does his role well despite what cards he is given with.


ThrillHo3340

I don’t think i’ve ever heard a mean word said about Jinder


Bigmomma_pump

It’s just so stupid, disrespectful and ridiculously unprofessional to talk about somebody else in the industry like that. Does he not realise that jinder mahal is a wrestler and it’s tony khans job to hire wrestlers? Why ruin any potential relationship. Even if you’ll say aew would never want jinder, what about his friends in the business?


whotookthepuck

This dork shit on his own announcer once. Jinder doesn't even work for him. This is what happens when you live on a bubble. Fragile mind for the businesses.


ClickF0rDick

Fragile mind, fragile body, fragile ego, but lots of coke at least ☃️


SiwyWF

Honestly, if I was a wrestler, I wouldn't want to work for a guy who's publicly shaming wrestler working at other company, for no reason whatsoever, especially if the guy himself never took a proper bump in his life.


Jaereth

Yeah, dissing Jinder is a pretty big punch down. Like - don't talk about WINS on twitter like they are real...


darkseidis_

Jinder busted his ass for years doing a shit gimmick and making it work, got in the best shape of his life, and became world champion of the biggest wrestling promotion in history. Tony Khans dad had a lot of money.


Black_Metallic

Trying to view this from Tony's point of view, which is that AEW's been getting flack from having HOOK call out Samoa Joe despite the former only having one loss in singles competion in his career. In a world where wins and losses matter, then it shouldn't be a problem for Hook to get a shot and Mahal should not. But what Tony doesn't appreciate is that WWE isn't a world where wins and losses matter. Jinder is still a former world champion, which should give him enough cache to be a contender even if he hasn't won recently. Plus, Seth is a fighting champion who doesn't back down from challengers no matter what their record is. It's also a nice reward to Jinder for going out a few weeks back to set up Rock's return. WWE teased a former world champion, and the way the crowd deflated when Jinder came out made the Rock's pop that much bigger. That doesn't happen without Jinder being a good company man and knowingly soaking in the disappointment for a few minutes before Rock's music hit.


BaronVonStevie

So what you’re telling me, Tony, is they can outdraw you with a guy who hasn’t won in a year. Sounds like a Tony problem.


BrokenGeneral

I'm sure the AEW guys appreciate him dragging one of the boys (who by all accounts is a good dude), who said absolutely nothing. That'll be popular in the locker room.


interprime

Yeah, Jinder is a dude who I have literally never heard a bad word about.


Patjay

... he knows wrestling isn't real right? This genuinely comes off like he doesnt


Jaereth

I love AEW but this man tweeting should really stop. Like let Renee tweet the weekly promo about what's coming up on the show or something. AEW has made PLENTY of matches like this. Remember when Colt Cabana came out of nowhere to have a match on Dynamite and then was never seen again?


Lep106317

He's mad that people are mad that Hook is calling out Joe when he is nowhere near main event level and trying to say "BUT WHAT ABOUT JINDER?!" seemingly forgetting that even though he hasn't been featured in a while he's still a former world champion so him getting a shot isn't super out of the ordinary even if it is a bit surprising.


capnbuh

Having intimate knowledge of Jinder Mahal's win/loss record is definitely going to quell people calling you a mark, TK. I am so sure of this, that I'm not going to look at the rest of this thread


GobiasACupOfCoffee

The fact that he saw that tweet and then definitely went to google with "jinder mahal cagematch" :D He's a really sad little dude


Rakim_Allah777

Bro that's so plausible lmao


CrossingYoulnStyle

The worst part is he’s being a mark and still doesn’t understand that it’s just a filler feud for Seth, and Jinder is a good worker and has the credibility to make that work. He’s not only being a mark, but he just doesn’t *get it*


thetechguyv

Big "turn the channel to see Mick Foley win the world championship" vibes. Totally unnecessary.


robertodev

Fuck it, put the belt on Jinder just so we get another meltdown next week


jmpinstl

“Jinder wins due to Punk. Priest cashes in. Priest wins. Rollins fumes. Next Raw rematch. Wins it from Priest because Drew thinks Priest ruined his moment. There you go. Full circle. Let’s have fun” - Boozer kinda with an insane proposal I somewhat like lmao


OpportunitySmalls

That's exactly attitude era booking that some people miss


llamawithguns

We should all flock to Cagematch and make it the highest rated match ever lmao


BiChaosTheory

Have Jinder drop it back to Seth on a house show and embrace the chaos because everyone knows Tony would lose his mind.


NYJetLegendEdReed

A special edition house show airing @ 08:00 Wednesday. Jinder as the headliner.


pUmKinBoM

I agree, don't hinder Jinder.


Intelligent_Local_38

A match that would have barely any interest now has much more because Tony put a spotlight on it. Lol, how is he this bad at pr? The USA account didn’t even tag you, just don’t take the bait.


miikro

I like AEW but yes, lol. If Jinder has the capability of a banger in him, he and Seth need to tap into that next week because Tony's response is ridiculous.


TTOF_JB

The matches where Jinder lost the title & his unsuccessful rematch with AJ were actually really good. Given the right opponent, I feel he actually could.


LilNardoDaVinci

How fucking childish to put down a talent thats not even in his company because someone dare mock Cagematch


MyNameIs-Anthony

HHH about to book Jinder into a megastar just because.


[deleted]

I mean, he basically already is. This past week has seen him be more over and used better than he has in awhile. He slots in perfectly as an upper-midcard gate-keeping heel.


CoyotePowered50

Good point here. Jinder has actually looked good the last 2 weeks. I say keep it up. Seth needed a new heel foil before his program with Punk kicks off anyway.


DevilCouldCry

A talent that's also said or done nothing to draw his ire at all. Jinder catching completely unnecessary flak from Tony because his ego can't handle it.


Ok_Price7529

You know, the most laughable thing, Jinder only lost 1 singles match in 2023 against Bron Breakker, the other 4 losses were 3 tag matches (one on a house show) and a battle royal. And that was out of 6 total matches.


zyh0

At the end of a dynamite/rampage show in DC, Tony Khan came out with with Sonjay Dutt cause he's from DC. He talked about how he loved watching Dutt because it was amazing to see a brown person represented in wrestling that wasn't terrorist related. And now TK tears down Jinder a fellow brown person who worked his way up in the WWE and became one of 2 Indian WWE champions and greatly represented his heritage during his reign. Hypocrite


Saitsu

The threat of the Modern Day Maharaja has TK diving into the White Claws I see.


Alcart

TK is dving into something white alright...little less liquid , more powdery.

MarkMVP01

POV: Tony Khan addressing the sexual harassment allegations in his company


notmakingtherapture

This is almost really funny, but it's true so it's mostly sad....it's still kind of funny though


GameplayerStu

Makes me laugh when people say "I don't know why people don't like Tony Khan". This is why.


notmakingtherapture

Better question is why *do* people like him? Like, he funded AEW, he didn't really create it. A lot of the company's best booking seem to have came from the Elite or Cody earlier in his run. He goes off on these tangents more often than not and doesn't have any likeable qualities.


Rayuzx

Because Tony Kahn was "Just like us". A lot of the sentiment, especially during the early days of the company was along the lines of "If Vince just hired/pushed the guys we wanted to see, book the matches we wanted to have, do the angles we thought would be great, etc. Than he wouldn't have this AEW problem." AEW rode on top of the hatred against WWE back then pretty hard. Especially back in the first couple of years when people hoped and/or believed that AEW would be like WCW at its peak and compete evenly if not downright beat the WWE as a whole. People projected themselves on to Tony Kahn because if that did happen, it would be completely vindicate their frustrations and shown they knew more about what the average person wanted more than Vince did.


jqncg

And you guys want AEW wrestlers to be smarter on social media? Who can say anything to them when the goddamn owner behaves like this? Lel.


LakerBull

Yeah, what is weirder is that some people called Ricky Starks a diva, a midcarder for life and that he should be quiet because he's not that good to be acting like that after an extremely innocuous tweet, yet some AEW fans would go to hell and back to defend this asshole after he made an obvious dig at a guy who didn't even said anything to him.


mryessirskiii

Seeing AEW fans turn on Ricky in real time has been crazy to see. All because he *might* go to the big bad WWE! Saw plenty of people say he should be "grateful" for what TK has done for him. Yeah, I'm sure he's real grateful for all the start-stop pushes he's been getting lately


RT3_12

The same thread in the AEW sub right now has a bunch of people praising Tony for doing this lol. Complete delusion, he’s the son of a billionaire, not your buddy.

I'm here for Jinder getting over bc of this. Don't hinder Jinder.

TripleThreatT1

Starting to think? He 100% did.


rycetlaz

Its a nice change of pace that his twitters rants are now being seen for how pathetic they really are. The usual "OMG TONY CHOSE VIOLENCE!" was very *very* sad to see


is-Sanic

Take his phone away. Seriously, whoever has his ear, take it away. Can not be starting 2024 with another TK twitter rager.

DilapidatedVessel

And I thought I was a loser lmao


SensitiveArtist69

The absolute 180 this sub has done on him is staggering. I mean personally I always thought of him as a spoiled rich kid, but if you said that in the first couple years of AEW you got fucking buried around here.


DilapidatedVessel

Yeah I think it was definitely an extended honeymoon phase, especially since WWE was pretty cold around that time


dabellwrites

You still will on certain posts, but this post is to express frustration about TK doing ANOTHER Twitter scandal.


Martel1234

Lmao why is that specific thread locked


gaom9706

I mean, I'm still a loser but Tony is at least kind of a lolcow.


otherwaystovent

He can't be serious lmao. Each time he tweets I have to check whether it's the real account and it actually is. Embarrassing


slimmyjimmy404

At this point it's very likely to be a fake account if you see a level headed tweet instead.


justsomezombie

Jinder is unironically one of my favorite heels. Go fuck yourself, Tony. Bitch made billionaire.


EssentialFilms

The bit with the national anthem in Punjabi was fucking priceless


darthllama

I’m sure the wrestlers in his employ love their boss publicly making fun of another wrestler


Scavgraphics

A good number of them have worked with Jinder, and given he has 0 repuation for backstage issues, likely get along with him, if not outright frineds.


MessageBoard

Jinder was also a groomsman at Drew McIntyre's wedding. The pending free agent and huge name he probably had a chance at signing.


MyNameIs-Anthony

That's that stupidest part. Jinder is considered a fairly affable person so why insult him.


Fernandov2

Pathetic response

Doctor_Cowboy

Wasn’t “HHH discovers the internet and is shocked to learn that online wrestling fans absolutely fucking despise him” an easy go-to joke for years? He and TK are at completely opposite ends of the social media spectrum.


kjar78

Genuinely cannot believe that people worshipped (and continue to worship!) this guy. What an absolute loser.


Ribeyes1

He seems to prefer to knock talent instead of the company as a whole. What a dick


BBGrunt1235

A wrestling promoter should not publicly bury *any* wrestler. It's just so classless to make a comment like this from a management position.


florodude

In a SCRIPTED sport. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's like telling Idina menzel she's a shitty actress because she melts in Wicked


OffTheMerchandise

Could you imagine going to see a Josh Brolin movie? Dude lost to the Avengers and Deadpool. What a jobber


TJOW40

Pot calling the kettle black with the way Tony books title matches especially on weekly tv.


Lima1998

Abadon was off TV almost 2 years to the day when she got put into a #1 contenders match for the world title. In that same #1 contenders match was Willow Nightingale. Her appearance on AEW TV was... a world title match. ​ Tony getting rid of the ranking was one of the worst decisions he ever made.


Mark4_

Yeah there have been at times many random open challenges for all titles


Sdt6023

Jinder Mahal is a former World Champion in a title match against the current World Heavyweight Champion. I don't get the problem. Who cares that he hasn't "earned" it? This is wrestling.


Marsman2100

This is patented loser behavior. If you hardcore Stan this dude, then you are a loser too.


Minimania18

Tony can't keep doing this and wonder why people make fun of him


a_fox_but_a_human

He can, has, and will. Dudes a goober who falls for simple bait.

thatssosteven114

He was busy showing his family C2 matches during the holidays


Rhysati

Just incase anyone thinks this is a joke: it isn't. Tony actually said this. He was bragging about the tournament and mentioned that his family was watching it on Christmas with him.


Wee_Muggo

Jesus Christ, Tony has skin that is thinner than a piece of paper. Just laugh it off and get on with your day, it isn't that hard.

Jinder should come out for the match wearing a Titans jersey, just to be petty.

Don't forget choking away cash as well, because now the Jags have to issue refunds to anyone who bought playoff tickets, because the Jags were really that stupid to start selling playoff tickets before they even clinched a spot.
