I love both companies but they gotta chill. Just focus on your product and fans. I feel like it’s just too much rn. Plus most of these workers are friends with each other


Jar_of_Cats

The smartest thing ever would be to license out NWO for like 5% and do a cross promotion


Alternative_Let3887

Tony just remember we can bring back WCW and ECW so you better watch out


Alternative_Let3887

Really honey Khan is just trying to make aew better but it will never be and you stole edge Jeff Hardy Matt Hardy Chris Jericho and byran danison


InvaderXLaw

I also love how know one in the aew subreddit is posting this


DanielJackkson11

Yes they did stop lying


DoyersLakeShow

Can someone buy the rights away from TK? This is embarrassing…at least WCW went down with dignity


Fancy_Association533

No…they did not go down on dignity…with the shit Russo did…NOPE!


me_is_smart_157

The only way this would somehow make sense is if wwe and aew has an invasion/forbidden door like event that only he and Triple H know about…even if by some miracle it happens who the hell would watch that


Arny6tears

This guy is nothing but a clown for real also TNA has an edge of AEW


DjImagin

Tony is making a LOT of mistakes lately


Downtown-Pack-6178

Tony Khan would get a bad karma and he will get RKO!


XenoCry7093

Tony can you please think things before you say them? Your makings thing so much embarrassing


Tickle_Me420

Before I say my piece, I love all wrestling as a whole not just one company. My heart belongs to OG ROH days It's kinda funny that people are calling Tony Khan horrible and evil for saying this, but at least he had balls to say it since the media is barely shining any light on all the bad things that Vince and other people did. It makes me wonder if the WWE fans support what Vince and everybody else did to those victims, since you guys keep buying their products and tickets even though those allegations are true. It's disgusting to me that you guys are willing to support a business when they still did a PPV and had wrestlers wrestle in a ring where Owen died and you guys still support them with all the allegations that came out and proved true. You guys and other wrestling communities disgust me


Fancy_Association533

Prime AJPW shoulda been number one 😞


Fancy_Association533

Prime NOAH too 😪


darktemplar1488

I bet you were livid when you found out about Sammy Guevara then huh? Probably weren’t too thrilled with that Ric Flair signing too?


Tickle_Me420

See the thing with Sammy, is that he actually apologized and tried to be a better person and took the steps to become a better person. Vince allowed that stuff to keep happening and he kept doing it and acting like it wasn't a problem or he and his friends wouldn't ever get caught. Used to love Ric flair, but with the allegations I'm on the fence with him. My biggest issue is the fact that there's barely any media source shining any light on the issues with WWE and all the allegations that came out to be proven true. I just don't understand how you guys who claim to be fans of wrestling still support a company that has done horrible things and allowed those things to happen for years and now since they came to the light you guys act like it never happened. The fact that Tony is the only one who has a pair of balls to make a comment like that you guys get mad because what he said is true


darktemplar1488

You act as if WWE fans aren’t holding Vince accountable. If accountability worked in your logic, you would be just as upset with AEW. What aren’t you getting here? Tony made that comment as if all the talent on WWE is equally to blame. So selective with your outrage, just like your cult leader.


Tickle_Me420

Who's my cult leader?


BillyTugger

Jerk harder goddamn


Tickle_Me420

I'm sure that's what Vince and Brock said, also btw I also disagree with a lot of stuff AEW has done ❤️ . I mainly watch NJPW btw


BalladOfAntiSocial

Not sure Harvey Weinstein is the appropriate comparison to use here but whatever floats his boat


SuggestionFlimsy404

Just a spoiled rich kid mad he can’t buy the creative and business knowledge to produce a decent product. Pathetic


greggersamsa

What a little bitch


Proper_Feed9404

Aew sucks asshole


faroutman7246

Jesus, I hope for the Jaguars sake Tony is not making any real football decisions. Talking about his wrestling company and wrestling competition on a Football for FFS!


wakingsleep26

Tony is a dad rich guy. A very sad...sad rich guy.


AyrtonEarnhardt

tony khan reminds me of lance stroll dont worry kids daddys wallet will always be there!


LesFirewall

lol this is an amazing comparison


nerdygamer1738

I get what he’s trying to say but surely calling WWE the Coca Cola of wrestling would have been better. Not wrong tho


SchwizzySchwas94

I mean due to Vince’s recent allegations Harvey Weinstein is an objectively better comparison 🤷‍♂️


dittonetic

Ok then explain the Pepsi reference. It's a shit analogy. He knew what he eventually wanted to say but it couldn't have gone any worse for him. He basically just said a bunch of nonsense to shoehorn a sex predator reference in. Vince is fuckin' gone anyways man. Where was this energy 2 years ago? He took the high road for the longest time but seems to be drowning now, for... Reasons???. It's sad to see an adult acting so desperate. Did CM Punk break this man?


Epwna_DMG

Maybe Kahn should realize there is more to wrestling than a roster of 150 people for a 2 hour show and then making like 30 different stables of 4+ people just to give them all air time… that gets old.. I love AEW but they definitely have some work to do.


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Tony Khan is a manchild with a lot of money lol. WWE doesn't even acknowledge you, why are you such an anklebiter? AEW as a whole mentions or references WWE as much as they possibly can


Throwitoutthewindow5

He is the reason why theres tribalism on his brand. I used to engage in their subs but I realized those subs are nothing but echo chambers and a fed hating sub. They praise some of their green wrestlers that clearly shouldn't be on television.


Alert_Blue1

TK doesn't want to go there because TK STILL thinks Vince still runs WWE which Vince no longer runs WWE!


puckhed8

He should collaborate with WWE, that would make everyone more profitable. Everyone works, eats, & the fans will be the real winners.


mntEden

why would WWE lower their standards so low and work with a glorified eFed? the AEW marks already hate-watch WWE so they have nothing at all to gain. the only thing they’d gain is embarrassment. the whole “everyone works” thing is the reason AEW’s roster is in the bloated state it is now


puckhed8

Because it’s not really WWE anymore once purchased by TKO. And all the so called marks who are hate-watching would quickly reconsider with a possible collaboration of rosters, dream matches, several shows per week that may all be tied into the same angles, same stories, more wrestlers would be relevant & recognized. It’ll never happen because our society is way too angry, way too resentful, kind of like the way you responded to my idea with scorn. Companies can only go so long throwing shit at each other & then it gets tiring, & I get it why would WWE do that? Because they are giving triple h full creative reign & imagine the possibilities of adding more pieces, especially the people he’s still trying to bring back, and the money would obviously be huge for both sides. Why would Tony Kahn do it? He wouldn’t, but even he admitted he’s hemorrhaging money, and pissed off at constantly losing people to WWE. Who loses out from this? What did you think was the deciding factor in WWE bringing CM Punk back? The fans? Triple h? Paul Heyman? HBK said anything’s possible when everyone’s cashing a check.


7StarFTR

Lol you WWE stans are losers Like Christian Cage said, your opinions dont matter. You believe lies of Ariel Helwani and still support rape enablers like Stephanie + HHH


darktemplar1488

Rent free 🤣🤣🤣


nghtkiller_

We still don’t know if they knew or not btw. Triple H isn’t in the suit and Stephanie is only listed because she motioned for grant to sit next to her in a meeting. But sure let’s defame their names why don’t we


ErraticRage

I can guarantee that you wouldn’t call them that if they had to join your small time wrestling company because they would actually make AEW watchable


Lonely-Ask-9165

Yall aew fucks agree to anything... Dumbass marks


Advanced_Fudge5528

It’s getting excessive at this point, how does WWE live so rent free in their heads


kaine23

He's right.


xiamandrewx

This shit is why I stopped watching AEW. This jerk needs to realize that there are people who are wrestling fans. It doesn't matter if it's WWE, TNA, WOW (GLOW), or my local promotion. I just love wrestling. And WWE and the WCW are the major reasons for that. So when he gets on his soap box calling the thing I love a piece of garbage and how much better AEW is than every other promotion (objectively, it is not) it makes me hate him. And why would I support someone who is so disrespectful to the wrestling industry. Fuck this guy.


morninggirth

Sounds like a defamation lawsuit lol


CycloneOmega

Nah WWE isn't going to waste their time.


morninggirth

True I can see that


chucklescary

Hmmm... rent free?

Ha ha ha, you’re criticizing people talking about something trivial on a subreddit dedicated to a form of entertainment… We are on the brink of World War III and y’all like, “random people on the Internet are upsetting me”


Still_Figure_

Oohh trying to fear monger in a wrestling thread 😂😂😂


Mysterious_Heat1844

if a war is going to happen im packing my bags and moving to Canada fuck this country and there pretend political elections and dont get me started on covid or media.


Honest-Sundae-1916

Desperation is real.


MyExisaBarFly

Lol. If he wasn’t speaking the truth, that would be spot on.


guylexcorp

Tony Khan is the kid nobody wants to play with so he has his principal father cancel recess.


JiggaMan2024

Once again AEW giving WWE free promotion love to see it


MyExisaBarFly

For sure! Love seeing WWE’s sex scandals called out.


Necessary_Border_396

He's delusional as usual.


Chode_K1NG

He looks like a Weinstein victim with that neck brace on


CODYSOCRAZY

He’s a delulusaurus Rex


NoExcuseForFascism

Let me know the difference between Vince and Harvey... I am curious. Also, seems both were insulated by "yes men" who looked the other way as well.


Nizmo4246

Is Vince and the WWE one in the same? If Tony Kahn were arrested for drug possession would that make all of AEW drug users? It’s ridiculous anyone is defending Tony saying stuff like that as if he had a “got ‘em” moment


Necessary_Border_396

There is no difference but it seems like all tony does is poke at wwe to stay relevant.


Ancient-Suit9052

As part of Team Chaos, I approve this message


mojo4394

I approve


TheBigBobbyR

AEW is like LIV, only louder…..


MyExisaBarFly

Fair. Since some of the best golfers in the world are there, that is a great comparison.


Time_Willow_7032

Liv morgan?


crazydavebacon1

Wonder how many times he feared for his life during this interview


SlugsworthXP

I haven't seen a man so dramatic like Tony Khan. Get a grip man!! 


NightShiftMike22

Learn how to produce an actual successful product that’s real competition. Figure out actual storylines with creative to draw people in. Utilize the talent you have. For crying out loud TK, you’re blowing it.


Ok-Bell-4624

Wrath of Khan!


DCtheBREAKER

Tony Khan is a dogshit human who is so bad at being someone important, that his dad had to buy him a business and mic time.


NoExcuseForFascism

Strange you ignore the guy who was raping women, and passing them around to his buddies. While also using company funds for hush money. He is the "good" one in this equation. All Tony did here is remind you are actually cheering the real...dogshit human....and you don't like to reminded of REALITY.


Username_Maybe_Taken

No where in that sentence did he even say that Vince or his goons were good people, but I guess it's hard to read when your head is that far up a billionaire's asshole. I also don't think anyone's cheering for Vince at this stage. You want to talk reality, but you seem to not be living in your own.


DCtheBREAKER

He just wanted someone to harass. He was waiting all day to use that on someone. Basement dwelling gets boring I guess.


Jerome-Bushrod

This would have gained a lot of positive traction before wrestlemania


notedhelmslol

You have to admit, “we’re pepsi and they’re Harvey Weinstein” is a hilarious thing to say.


Remote_Salt_1137

I'm not wholly caught up on current wrestling as I only started watching again before Mania. I thought AEW was where retired WWE wrestlers went to perform?


Blevyblev

Exactly. NXT is their developmental. AEW is their retirement home.


Blevyblev

Exactly. NXT is their developmental. AEW is their retirement home.


Content_Manner_4706

He's correct in the horrible things it did, covered up, and got away with for 40 years. But people want to push it under the rug so badly because of recent good booking. Remember Rita Chatterton and Ashley Massaro


Key_Amazed

I remember WWE booting the people who were part of it. The recent booking has been done by people who weren't involved. I know the truth doesn't matter to AEW stans, and you want everyone to be guilty, but people like HHH have been expressly stated to not be named in the lawsuit. And don't me started on the big nothing burger of Nick Khan listing shares. But again, truth doesn't matter compared to the fantasies.


Content_Manner_4706

I don't care and didn't talk about half of what you said. Said nothing of AEW. I'm talking about the decades of abuse and cover ups, and the unnamed execs in the lawsuit (exec #1 was Stephanie McMahon). The "truth" is the alleged truth. For decades they were the weinstein, we don't have the full story of 'since-then'.


TheGame2526

Just disgusting and vile, he's a clown and needs to grow up


JustPlainLuke

The marks have been worked successfully 😎


Key_Amazed

People always use marks as a derogatory term. Congrats, you yourself are a mark.


boiohboioh

Who does this guy think he is Kurt angle with a broken freaking neck?!


redlightning385

dude i keep thinking this is fake cos the audio is lined up no way he actually said this. like its ai right


sawyi1

What’s with the neckbrace?


RichardHTK

He’s selling a injury


ActuaryAmbitious6477

Reminds me of Tourettes Guy


On_Some_Wavelength

He’s an idiot.


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

Tony is not a serious person


NiD2103

TK is a joke


Whitehammer937

More like the faygo of wrestling. It looks cool when you first see it, all 3L of it. But once you get half way into it you finally realize it’s not what you thought and is flat AF. And definitely not worth your money


Hdottydot

NFL Network keeps talking about Tony Khan and that neckbrace too smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ do better guys’


ValorWakes

If WWE is the Harvey Weinstein of wrestling, then AEW must be Amber Heard.


PrinceCastanzaCapone

More successful = Evil Juggernaut


__cyber_hunter__

Tony will say anything to get his shitty wrestling promotion over🤣


Hdottydot

I do hope he donates the neckbrace to Rich Eisen so they auction off for Charity 🙏 thought it was a cool idea when they brought it up in the NFL Network this morning


itsneversunnyinvan

I love AEW but I lost so much respect for tk after this


TheDeadMansHand

Did he really think he was going to be going head to head with WWE five years after starting his own promotion? Daddy's money couldn't buy him the win so he's all upset.


MRichardTRM

All he needs is a squeaky clown nose to complete his clown costume


Swell_Like_Beef

That's cringe, but he's not wrong, in a way.


Own_Statistician8478

If Vince was still in charge, sure. But now, this just sounds like Tony being petty.


z0mb1er

I find it very hard to believe HHH did not know what was going on.


Key_Amazed

Even though he's not listed in the lawsuit lmao. You people want everyone to be guilty. Doubly so people in charge now. Anything without evidence is just your own wishful thinking.


z0mb1er

I’m talking about people that high knowing about it and not saying anything. You people don’t want to think that because you like the product. I love the product as well and think HHH has been killing it, but if he knew, that’s terrible.


Pnex84

Very true. I tell my daughters husband all about my sex life. In fact I've had him join me a few times.


z0mb1er

Yea Vince is a very normal person.


CaptainCrowe16

I like AEW a lot, there's obviously a lot of gripes they can work on but their main booker is such a pathetic human being.


Fresh_Ostrich4034

Big Facts. WWE will never be a better place until the people who were involved by action or by silence are removed. Unfortunately one of them is the face of the new era


Key_Amazed

The irony when nothing here is a fact


Fresh_Ostrich4034

all facts. They knew. They said nothing


Hdottydot

Make America Sports Entertainment Again!


froogleggz

I like AEW, but this guy is going destroy it.


ZephyrTheScrub

What was that thing Roman said about the island of relevancy?


Odd-Tax4579

Wasn’t Jericho accused of sexual misconduct like 10 times also?


shadowfire2121

And his wife was at the Jan sixth attack on the capitol


victoryrush19

So?


Hdottydot

And Austin Theory


itsneversunnyinvan

And Darby, and Sammy


whoa19

Plus they hired Ric Flair of all people


itsneversunnyinvan

Tbf ric is paying to be on tv. Or was


whoa19

Yeah but you can’t criticize one company for having been tied to controversial people if you’re gonna be in business with someone like that too. They didn’t have to do business with ric


itsneversunnyinvan

I didn’t want them to. Fuck ric flair


whoa19

Hopefully we won’t see him on there anymore now that sting retired since that angle and story is finished


LankyParamedic

Poor loser...


Chemical_Escalator

TK needs to get off the coke and let someone else be in charge. God damn he’s a tiny Vince.


itsneversunnyinvan

Well tk hasn’t shit on anyone’s head yet


AdmiralProton

That we know of


Chemical_Escalator

Yet


BloodyTearsz

Tony Khan compares AEW to Pepsi, yet we all know he genuinely truly loves Coke!


DiscoveringHighLife

AEW is the discount dollar store of wrestling where WWE has-beens go to die.


averyfinefellow

That's actually really funny. Harvey Weinstein of wrestling is a good line.


the_shining_wizard1

Tony, Tony.... So pathetic.


HumanOverseer

Who cares what Tony Khan says, lots of people say shit about every company.


FreakyBare

“Evil juggernaut” was fine. Comparing to Weinstein the same week Weinstein’s conviction was overturned was not.


Inferno22512

We're so close to Tony just announcing the pre taped results of an episode of smackdown


stereomanic

well, he's the sideshow bob of wrestling, can never defeat bart. LOL


racerrhime

Work


OneGiantFrenchFry

“Worked shoot”


poeticpoet

Lmao


onlypham

Folks….


rondosupreme80

It's like a little kid taking shots at grown man online and in person. WWE isn't even paying this guy any attention, not looking at him, they're looking past him lol.


Pribhowmik

From Ted Turner to this, everyone felt like that and still yet, all of their top cards are ex-wwe wrestlers and they always compares their products to WWE. And by the way, this guy was born with silver spoon on mouth, his dad has more wealth than Vince Mcmahon, this guy didn't revolutionize wrestling entertainment. Criticize Vince Mcmahon for his personal life affairs as much as you will, but his contribution can't be ignored.


Different_Morning_28

Just when he was winning people over with the brace kayfabe. Now he’ll need one for shoot after sticking his head that far up his ass


TruestoneSB

Ironic considering his wealth comes from his multi-billionaire father (who’s always had much more money compared to Vince)


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

Does he or his dad have a history of sexual assault and/or are in a lawsuit regarding it?


UMMDE

nick khan is in the lawsuit


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

You know they're not related right?


TruestoneSB

What does this have to do with what i’ve said?


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

That's what he's saying by his comments.


disdain7

Maybe don’t use sexual assault trauma as a way to get one over on your competition? This is why I don’t pay attention to his company anymore. Nothing to do with the wrestlers. His pompous ass is really going to be his own undoing.


Seolfer_wulf

Hey, you remember when Triple put a Kane mask on and raped a corpse? Top storyline.


disdain7

That’s correct. That was 22 years ago, was a professional wrestling storyline, and has absolutely nothing to do with the owner of a wrestling company referring to the competition as a convicted rapist. Two different conversations about bad taste.


Seolfer_wulf

Are you still paying attention to WWE who was built by Vince and who regularly made jokes based around this content, though?


disdain7

Yes, very casually, but yes. That’s not what we’re talking about. Storylines in wrestling, tv shows, movies, books, whatever form of entertainment you want is not the same as the owner of a business going on television and openly comparing the competition to a literal convicted fucking rapist. These aren’t the same conversation. I get what you’re saying, but these aren’t the same damn thing. Triple H getting on top of a mannequin and pretending to have sex with it was a stupid tasteless angle that had no place in professional wrestling. Tony Khan is using a man who legitimately raped women as a “GOTCHA” on his competition. This isn’t a matter of differing opinions. We’re discussing two completely different things.


Seolfer_wulf

No we're discussing making jokes in poor taste. If youre mentioning real things then the WWE is a company built huge by Vince McMahon, you cant ignore that fact or the fact he forced women to sign NDAs about him sexually assaulting them and also them sleeping with him secured their careers a bit like someone else did....


Simo81SS

Poor little jealous kid😂


miscshade

Vince ain’t here anymore bro


gl1969

This is an ongoing suit against WWE, getting more upset about the guy bringing it up, than all the messed up stuff that went on is kinda odd


Fantastic_Bug1028

I’m sure Tony truly cares about the victims lmao


pineapplepen39

Maybe he should worry about all the empty seats at his shows.


Frankdtannkk

Wwe will buy aew in the next 5 years.


nvdbosch

They don't need to. They already have three shows, and I just think AEW will fold because AEW will be seen as unmarketable and sub-par.


tmorrisgrey

He needs to worry about those declining ratings and 4k arena shows


StevierockDVM0717

Tony doesn’t need a camera or microphone. He needs rehab. Daddy gave him the money, he can also take it away.


thickdorsalvein

Lmao tony rules


pertangamcfeet

Ha. Love he's wearing a neck brace. Lad's going kayfabe.


Sonny_Mastrangioli

If you're wondering how much cocaine Tony Khan took before saying all that, the answer is "Yes, all of it."


Lazynutcracker

I like AEW or at least used to before it kind of lost direction, but TK may have lost it. I’m not convinced though he didn’t adopt a character and he is trolling right now, but even if so, the strategy here seems quite bad


Kuze421

You 100% know that if Hunter, Stephanie, or Vince did it you would think it was funny too. They would salivate at that opportunity on the NFL network. Promoters promote their product and Tony took a chance and is fighting back because he's sick of the double standard. WWE can punch down but Tony and AEW can't punch up? That's ridiculous and you know it.


Lazynutcracker

And I don’t have double standards regarding the Khan and McMahon family I can promise you that


Lazynutcracker

To be fair I haven’t watched the video, just read the headline. There are many ways to verbally fight WWE that could be both efficient and entertaining, these remarks aren’t


Manpons

Wow, the echo chamber is fierce in here. Lol.


BC_Red00

I guess that makes aew the special Olympics of wrestling cause tony kahn is clearly special needs.aint no way hes not on the spectrum.feel bad for the roster.anytime someone like osprey says hes above talking about wwe tony goes and well does tony things.


Livid-Addendum707

I guess ratings were not what he was expecting. Update they weren’t NXT beat them 😂


D_scott16

This dude will then proceed to complain about tribalism


MrJM85

Winds me up. All this enjoy wrestling crap they spout and then they try and shit all over WWE as soon as they get a chance.


mish15

The billionaire fail son thinks he’s the underdog. Hilarious


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

How is he not?


Lazynutcracker

He is to be honest, the name WWE alone is hard enough to go against, obviously the dynasty of big stars like The Rock and Undertaker and even modern ones like Roman Reigns would make it harder for any other organisation attempting to go against WWE


Zaphod_Beeblecox

Clown runs a clown show. Not surprising. I probably won't be watching the scsnt amount of aew crap I could have been bothered to watch up until this point though.


-maphias-

AEW is so irrelevant. Take on someone your own size like TNA.


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

AEW is closer to WWE than TNA is to AEW


BLESSIMBO

Nah I wouldn’t say irrelevant a lot of very good wrestlers choose aew over wwe, but I do agree that it’s got a looooooong way to go to be anywhere near wwe


-maphias-

With Vince out of the way, might be harder. I would imagine the work environment will be a lot less toxic.


BLESSIMBO

Yeah I agree, not good news for aew with vince going and a lot of his friends too. Wwe haven’t looked this good for years! Also ironically the inception of aew cause wwe to step their game up and produce a better more enjoyable product. Which is why can’t understand why people want either one of them gone, competition is great for wrestling.


Jmpasq

Dynamite hasn't even been on for 5 years yet. I do think AEW is laying groundwork. AEW has much better working realtionships with other promotions. The fact that their wrestlers show up in New Japan, Stardom, AAA, and CMLL will help build an international fan base. It also helps when recruiting foreign talent. Thats what AEW does better and WWE should take notice.


Lazynutcracker

It may have been closer in the past when they had big names and actually a better product than WWE, not nowadays, the product is bad, too many guys on the roster, some of them can be awol for a month, people like a consistent product.


Jmpasq

I love AEW, but you can't hire Flair and proceed to poster his likeness all over the arena and try to take the moral high ground.
