If Tony starts his response with "That's a great question" you can be rest assured he's gonna spend the next 5 minutes talking without even trying to answer the question
🛎
It’s sounds like someone who took classes on how to have a conversation with another human being. Guy is a nut.
Yeah that’s a certainty. And a pretty safe bet regardless of how he starts. 😂
Tony Khan’s not here to make money, he’s here to make friends.
And he’s not even good at that.
you think danielson invited him over for xmas dinner? i doubt it
He’s a rich kid. He doesn’t need the money. Millionaires and billionaires don’t own wrestling companies or sports franchises anymore to make money. They buy them as a toy. Tony’s dad literally bought him a bunch of real life action figures. Ted Turner didn’t run WCW. We can debate his hirings and who did a good job or didn’t, but he knew he wasn’t a wrestling promoter or Booker. He was a fan. Tony can’t separate the 2 because he’s a spoiled rich kid who thinks with enough money you can do anything.
@@christhornycroft3686 Vince certainly was always all about the money. Despite the countless Billions of dollars he's made.
Tony Khan: "I'm here to make friend and make money, and I'm all out of friends.
Also, I don't make money."
@@christhornycroft3686 Now I want to see Tony's old wrestler toys to determine if they are severely broken and damaged
“I can’t speak to internet and unsourced rumors”
Tony: *spends most of free time online speaking about internet and unsourced rumors*
Don’t forget having a huge breakdown on Twitter.
Then touts the internets match ratings for his shows.
@@maxxdahl6062 and only invites internet and unsourced journalists to ask him questions after every great show, but only if they’re asking the question in the form of an apology.
The silly part is that he could have just denied everything but didn't. Naturally, an astute listener will then assume that the accusations are true because he apparently could not give a straight denial and is too naive to lie.
@@hafestos EXACTLY! LOL
HOW CAN SOMEBODY BE SO CLUELESS?!?!?😂
Tony is 5 years older than me but he acts like he’s 17. Jim calling him a poor child is so apt.
i place tony around 12
Nepo babies like him never have to grow up, because they'll never have to work for anything they'll ever have in life.
Nick Khan is a few years older than him and called him a kid lol
💀
@@naheemquattlebaum2267 I'm a year older and I probably would too. lol. People who have billionaire daddies like him never have to grow up as they'll never have to work for anything in their lives.
Tony Khan's media scrums are far more entertaining than AEW could ever be and not in a good way.
Literally my favorite part of AEW
At least we get some fire Corny and Brian rants for the content
I don't even watch AEW, but I tune into some of these media scrums.
It's like watching a car crash play out in super slow motion lol
@@PabloLaConecta lol I skip around the PPVs and then watch the whole scrum after. There's no way that's their intention
He looked ridiculous as usual.
He sounded ridiculous as always
He a clown
Nah, this was more ridiculous than usual. Guy is getting asked a serious question and he can't even take off the goofy shit. He's a fucking clown.
Oh, TK…🤦♂️
Idk what's worse, the fact he thought it was a good idea to wear that shit or that no one backstage said "wait Tony don't wear that before you go up on stage", I'm guessing someone did but he still thought it was a good idea
Safest environment? Wasn't Tony in fear for his life not that long ago in a AEW event?😉
Considering Tony's level of self awareness, he'll probably tweet "the wrestler who made me fear for my life is terrorizing the Fed"
😂😂😂😂😂😂 could you imagine that was the follow up question for tony 😂😂
@@WorLadCizhe’ll say he can’t answer the question due to legal reasons 😂😂
@@chaka1061 “but I can say that we had a great show tonight, great numbers on pay-per-view and sold out on the tickets for tonight and we’re the safest professional wrestling company in the modern era of wrestling. You can all talk to me personally about anything at anytime. thank you for the question.”
Terrorizing the fed= Mania Main event world title match 😂@@MPHswayze
The fact that he called AEW the safest place in wrestling was hilarious. This from the guy who feared for his own life two or three months ago.
Enough is enough. Someone has to hold Tony Khan accountable for his actions or lack there of. This is just insulting on every level.
He's sinking his own ship just fine on his own.
Besides, the dweeb "journalists" at these press conferences just want to be seen.
What should be done to hold him accountable?
It's a private company so there isn't much that can be done. If anything really. Especially when these people willingly agree to NDA's, then it basically just sweeps any issues under the rug.
Calm down, dude. It's not a personal attack against you.
@@poopyanalbumhole his dads money.
"AEW is the safest wrestling company in the world. Everything was great at tonights PPV, great matches, great wrestling, great continental classic everything was great thanks guys 😊"
3 dings
Have you come out of the closet yet? I know a tough choice
Dude can criticize but can't take criticism.
@@billyc2493 for real and everyone needs to be his friend or else he gets scared and fear for his life
@@dcmans2122Tony gets scared of backstage altercations, meanwhile, Vince McMahon faced Bret Hart right after the Montreal Screwjob.
Hell, Stephanie McMahon probably wasn't afraid of a wrestler backstage when she was in WWE.😂
I'm sorry, I know its supposed to be Jericho with exaggerated features but that is clearly The Franchise Shane Douglas
It does!
More like a blonde undertaker
Oh God I can’t unsee it now 😭😭
The hair is way to thick and full for Jericho lol
The Lion Douglas, Shane Jericho
Who the hell is Tony trying to kid here, he has read and obsessed over EVERY single rumour on the internet about AEW.
He has the safest company in the wrestling industry, yet Mox got dropped on his head twice after a concussion.
And Dante Martin's foot literally facing the other way after a Canadian Destroyer off a ladder through two stacked tables on the arena floor.
@@douglasmellott5076or Fenix’s arm being snapped in half on a table spot
@@paulmolive1821 Andrade punching Sammy backstage
Matt Hardy falling on concrete.
@@wilcee238 So did Julia Hart in a table spot that put her on the shelf for several weeks.
“I feared for my life”
“Safest place to work”
“Everything is great”
Tony Khan
“You wanna hug? I wanna hug”
Someone should edit the background of Tony Kahn’s media scrum to show the burning building of the “Nothing to see here” scene from the Naked Gun 2 and a half. 🤣🤣
They need a Tony Kahn plushie.. when you squeeze his stomach.. these are the phrases.. Tickle Me Tony 😂
You look at Triple H at his post ppv/p.l.e. press scrums and he looks like a proper executive. And then, there's Tony Khan, who looks like Phil Spectors' stunt double.😂
I said the sane thing and triple h also does the scrum at the end not next to every wrestler cause he doesn’t want any spotlight taken away from the wrestlers ,they are asking Tony questions while the wrestlers are sitting next to him ,I want to hear the wrestlers at that time ,Tony can talk later that goof
HHH is such a better booker and the best thing about him is he answers questions up front and honest Tony khan is a joke
Please, Promo Joe or Botchamania, do Tony's "I was in fear for my life" statement and put the hat and sunglasses on him. 🤡🕶
Then snitch “safest working environment” at the end 😂
Yes please 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*"Hey Tony, what did you have for breakfast today?"*
*"AEW has been great."*
I'm sorry but the safety bit is so amazing. I can't stop laughing at mr. screeerd
AEW is the safest place ever to be scared for your life.
@@maxxdahl6062agreed
Tony Kahn fears Jamirquai
AEW is Virtual Insanity
Unlike Tony, Jamiroquai is over in Japan.
@@danielcraig4974you beat me to it!
Nick Khan called Tony a kid sometime back. Now we all see it.
That place is so safe, I'm scared for my life. It's truly great, really great. Greatly great.
“Look, I feared for my life but it was great, the greatest fear I’ve ever had for my life. Great, just great.”
- TK, probably
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!!!!!
Ding
Tony Khan is absolutely brilliant at giving concise answers to questions he wasn't asked.
Safest place for wrestlers? not for Matt Hardy 😂
Artwork on this one is GOLD!
Jericho in the corner smirking at that sign thinking, "We will see about that!" 😏😏😏😏
I thought that was taker
I love that he said it’s the safest company in the world but literally that same night they threw one of his wrestlers on a BURNING TABLE!!! Not only was his wrestler thrown into fire but they botched that and he safely landed on HIS HEAD 😂😂😂
Tony Khan, the modern day Herb Abrams.
Herb Abrams was WAY cooler than Tony could ever be.
When we see Tony get busted open and do a promo, with blood coming down his face, we'll be at that level.
Herb was on less drugs
Tony could never rock those ostrich skin boots.
False! Tony Khan does not own cowboy boots.
Just waiting to hear Jim's thoughts on TK making Jinder a face.
Even the USA Network was dunking on TK for uses CageMatch as a serious metric describing business.
The Media Scrum is like 2 and a half hours and a total of 5 questions. Oh, and on behalf of Steelers Nation, up yours Tony and the Jags!
What's more hilarious is that The disaplinary committee is made up of some of the talent The inmates truly are running the asylum
WHAT ??????
True.
@@deckarobinson7675 He done hit you with a spell check mate
If this wrestling thing doesn't work out Tony should look into being a white house press secretary with all these non-answers he's giving
If, God forbid, Trump returns to the White House he would have the perfect press secretary in Tony Khan.
Yes… though any political career would work, as long as he’s a Republican… just to give Corny maximum burial opportunity.
He would be fearing for his life daily when the bodyguard of the POTUS enter the room first
If Kellogg's ever wants to ditch the tiger, TK would be a perfect replacement for Frosted Flakes. He's already mastered the trademark line.
Huh huh…. Line
That's not sugar on his Frosties
Tony’s refusal to answer the question about Jericho tells me all i need to know
Congratulations, TK
You just made VM challenging God less ridiculous 😨
The fact that some clowns are buying the "safest workplace" bs is amazing.
Tony Kahn constantly says nothing of value. Which makes sense since his company has no value.
If Tony ever sells the company and WWE/Endeavor is interested, they would buy AEW on pennies on the dollar.
Brian said it best Tony has no self awareness. Three times he was asked about the situation and not once was it denied. I think that’s the most telling thing out of all this. When he got asked the question he should have took the silly wig and glasses off and showed everyone this is a serious situation. If it comes out he knew about Jericho and tried to hide this AEW and him could be in some real hot water.
The thumbnail is incredible
I don't think Jim has ever gotten so much entertainment and videos out on the coked-up Khan and his dumbass Hat. This has been pure gold.
Thats how you know he's lying when he said AEW is the safest promotion in wrestling like over ten times within a few seconds. He doesn't know what else to say because he knows its BS
Spot on.
Oh yes, that is a great bit of artwork. Look at Tony's little face 😂
Please put up the Riho at Worlds End clip. That shit is too funny with Jim nearly killing himself saying Riho's name 😂
I feel Tony heard ONE word of that question.."safety" and blabbered on and on until the reporter forgot WTF he even asked
>"i was in fear of my life"
>"i will go on record as saying AeW is the safest company in pro wrestling"
hilarious listen especially with Jim chiming with the bell on great lol i laughed when he said he has the safest environment and then later mentions 3 women's wrestlers who are all injured.
Well guys, it’s been fun. We waited 20 years for another competitor to WWE and now, they’ve hit the iceberg and are slowly sinking right before our eyes.
It was fun while it lasted.
Tony, you want a drink?
Well I'd say I mean here in AeW we have drinks, I mean noones said to me directly they need a drink of any kind and if people feel they are thirsty they can always come to me or they can ask the office about what water has been in the building lately and I continue to feel we have the most hydrated locker room in the company looking at our figures compared to other companies around us so Id have to see if I'm able to have a drink and I'd throw that back to the committee team I have behind me
😅😅😅😅😅😅
AEW is one step away from a major lawsuit because Tony has no concept of what protecting your performers is let alone trying to explain how contracts and misconduct work. If this company is still around by the end of this year without a major lawsuit in its belfry, I'll be shocked given the times we're in and how every Karen and Curt organization is waiting in the wings to take down anything where they have the leverage.
Jericho since Xmas 🎄 is like the Jelly of the Month club it’s the Gift that keeps on giving year round
Looking forward to Jim's response to Tony Khan's latest meltdown about Jinder Mahal and Bischoff 😂🤣😂🍿🍿🍿
Just hope they include Jinder saying who the fuck is Hook
Only 29 minutes? Tony was only asked one question???
Outstanding artwork.
*Tony Khan:* "AEW is the safest wrestling company today."
*Also Tony Khan:* "I was feared for my life." (with NDA)
The guy who commented once that he "feared for his life" talks about how AEW is the safest company. LOL
*Journalist:* "what about the female wrestlers getting s*xually harassed in AEW?"
*Tony Khan:* "It's a great question."
When I was a freshman in college, I came home for fall break. By that time I had fallen headfirst into the bottle. When my ride dropped me off at home, my Mom took one look at me, and said, "Baby, whatever you're doing, please stop. Please." Shook me up pretty bad and I decided I would attempt to do just that. Somebody needs to have that convo w/Tony.
He’d have it if he was abusing the cocaine everyone said he’s using, or if he had survived an overdose.
His health is fine, it’s his head everyone needs to worry about.
And to be honest, I am a little disgusted that you compared your serious problems to something like this.
Disgusted is crazy you dont even know this person 😂@@andrelavandero3041
@@andrelavandero3041That's what cocaine affects....your head.
@@andrelavandero3041 Look, I don't know what he's on or not on, but, there's something going on that ain't right w/this dude. Can you honestly look at him and his erratic behavior and think, "yeah, that's normal, clearheaded, dare I say, sober behavior?" I can't.
Weirdflex
Tony Khan has the mentality of a teenager, minus puberty.
Can we just give up to the thumbnail artist!!😂😂😂 👏🏾
To Tony’s credit, he has created “must watch TV”. I haven’t missed a scrum since All Out.
😆
Man I live for Tony Khan's media scrum 😂😂😂
This is what HR departments are for - Protecting the "leadership" from the workers.
And that is exactly the extent of their usefulness.
That art work says it all put that next to the actual video and Tony looks spot on.
At this point, there is no need to ask questions because we already know what he will answer onwards.
Tony practically confirms the sexual harassment rumors by failing to give a straight "no" answer to the second question.
We need jim singing the humpty dance it will go gold
Jim and Tupac were big fans
@@takerdust Well, Tupac was a backing dancer for Digital Underground
The fact he's still using "sports based presentation" never ceases to amaze me
Tony looks like Jamiroquai in this picture 😂
Wtf is he talking about?
He said anyone can talk to him while also saying if there's any issue he will report ot to the disciplinary committee.
I cannot believe his staff let him sit out there like that, dressing like a buffoon addressing serious sexual misconduct questions
“It’s something we’re very serious about.”
Says the guy sitting there wearing Grimace’s torso as a hat.
The bell gimmick is so funny for no reason 😂😂😂 he catches every one
"Look, when I'm not fearing for my life , this place is the safest place on earth'
Anyone else think all the veteran talent is just giving Tony the worst advice possible as a total rib on the billionaire? Like all these guys are in the back like "yeah wear the hat..." while laughing their asses off all the way to the bank? This stuff is absolute madness.😂
Are we gonna get to Jim triple-dipping segments with ad reads in 2024?
they gettin ALL that money now that conrad is out of the way lol
@@andybunn5780 Conrad's so large he's in everyones way, at the same time.
@@andybunn5780what happened to Conrad?
Brian last is a hell of a lot more tolerable than Conrad at least
@@xymoriintus And Conrad really doesn't know anything about wrestling if he hasn't read about something in the observer.
I really think that he and Jericho are worth each other, You cannot believe a single word that comes out of their both mouths.
That picture reminds me of a 90s Mad Magazine cover lol
There might be other people in the room during a booking meeting but nobody but tony gets a chance to talk. He can't stop talking.
Holy cow they weren't kidding about the WO 'journalist'. He sounded like he felt a sniper laser on his forehead. Should've rehearsed his question in his head.
Tony, deferring for the simple question like always
This artwork is the stuff of legends. 😂😂
I would love a review of an Eddie Graham media scrum. I know they aren’t as fantastical but, what a difference on how to represent a sports company and manhood in general.
Tony Khan is basically Kendall Roy from Succession.
Was TK okay during that? I sounded like he was fearing for his life!
If you look up man child in the dictionary...
Jim referencing Digital Underground made my day.
Shock G is the name of the rapper from the digital underground.
Polar bears are jealous at the amount of coke Tony has
I guarantee you those two guys that brought up the Jericho situation and the backstage environment won't be invited to the next pay-per-view scrum
"I don't know the exact number of the gate, it was a big gate". Exactly what you want the owner of your entire company to say
Safe? Lol wasn’t darby beating his girl? Didn’t Matt Hardy almost die?
JUNGLE BOY USED REAL GLASS!
I think you’re confusing Darby Allin with that Johnny Havoc asshat but your point still stands. Also, Sammy put a hole in Cody’s head, didn’t he?
And now he’s crying rivers!!!
You just have to love these two dudes, it's so entertaining, GREAT "work" guys! *ding* :D
If I were one of those journalist, I`d fucking leave the room after 2nd time he said "the safest place"
that artwork is awesome
Tony looks like Liam Gallagher after a 24hr drug binge, in this picture.
JIM i hate to have to tell you this but 'live your gimmick!' your great *DING* is great! *DING* be consistent on it and I'm sure it will feel as natural as that racket did in days ov old ;)
Imagine asking a murderer "Look I'm sorry I gotta ask this, this is weird let's just get it over with, get past this, and I feel bad for have to ask, but did you murder those 3 children?". This is the first time I've ever heard anyone so apologetic for asking a question based on facts. Only in AEW.....
TK fears ratings
Gary Spivey from the Psychic Companions Network? What are you doing here?
Tazz's comment about a "sloppy shop" have aged horribly.
AEW is a mess.
I knew he was gonna forget he had Toni's stuff on him as soon as she put it on him.
I think its time for Tony Khan to secretly admit he's a fan of WWE. Or at least he once was and maybe held a grudge because he didn't get that autograph as a kid or something because no boss of another company should constantly be that obsessed with talking about it.
Well, without Tony Khan and his All Elite Wrestling (AEW:Dynamite, Collison, Rampage to include Ring of Honor) we would only have Endeavor TKO's World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE: Raw, Smackdown and NXT) and TNA Wrestling that's somewhat under Endeavor seeing TNA Wrestling's streaming platform, TNA Plus, being under Endeavor Streaming.
Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling (MLW: Fusion) and Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance (NWA: Powerrr) are the little engines that could.
Women of Wrestling (WOW) is actually getting viewers for their weekly shows nearly matching AEW Rampage & AEW Collision viewers, too.
