      Helwani is a weasel though. He likes to sh-disturb and make backhanded compliments constantly. Dude's been clowned on by MMA fans for years. It might be why he branched out to pro wrestling cause he's burned bridges with a lot of people involved in MMA.

      @Matt-cr4vv Год назад +2

      Yeah it was an hour and seventeen minutes. I listened to some of it, thinking it would be like the interview Ariel did with HHH which was really good because HHH was pretty open all things considered. But I made it about 15 minutes in before I accepted that TK was never going to answer anything, continue going on and on with no answers and just spend the entire time promoting whatever show was coming up at the time. And seeing the clip recaps from it I now know that I made a good decision. TK really needs to get a solid PR person to either coach him, handle this stuff for him or both because he came off like such a goof with this.

    • @Matt-cr4vv
      @Matt-cr4vv Год назад +2

      And I believe the show he spent the entire interview promoting ended up going down like 15% from the prior week and was the lowest Rampage rating since July. Here’s to hoping (although it won’t happen) that TK eventually learns that nobody gives a shit about Battle of the Belts for a company that has overloaded the show with belts and done nothing substantial to make any of them outside of the AEW World Title mean something. And even the AEW Title isn’t because of something he did but more so just because of how great Mox has been.

      When looking at how things have gone over the past year or so I’m not sure why any young wrestler who has an offer from both companies would ever sign with AEW.
      I can see why people went there intially when it was being portrayed at this land of creativity and a locker room paradise. But now that you see that hardly anybody who made the move from WWE to AEW has fared any better there outside of the top guys like Mox or Danielson I can’t see what would even tempt you about it anymore. Especially now that the biggest headache in WWE (Vince) is gone.
      Outside of older wrestlers who want to work a light schedule for a large amount of money I can’t imagine anything about AEW that would appeal over WWE now. Once the current WWE transfers leave id be genuinely for anybody to choose AEW outside of being released by WWE and needing a job.

Although this was the worst one because he doesn't trust Ariel at all it seems, while he is an unbiased journalist who asks hard hitting questions to everyone he interviews. Unlike everyone else who interviews Tony Khan. Every interview is Tony going on and on about upcoming shows and every show that has happened in the past.

It's a fringe channel and Dynamite is broadcast at 1am UK time.
