Stevie hit the nail on the head about 10 minutes in. It's actually a great idea to let this image out as a feeler, see the reaction, and then make a move based on that.
Yeah, but TK is still gonna be his Boss, standing not really doing much if it's not a partnership, but TK giving him a job, he could stand on the roof if he likes, doesn't change anything.
great pitches by Stevie. I like the last one of the slow heal turn and being Bill Watts. Since he knows Merecedes Mone I think he will be an addition to her Money Inc faction which now has Kamille
Yeah just you remember who ok that underground crap . It was Vince and his Butt kissing Son in Law . So what does that say about them and the way they run that PG Company
McMahon In my opinion would be good for AEW, either as a heel authority figure, to go up against the Elite, or just have him in the back ground, he's been around Wrestling all his life, he's seen the ups and downs, the good the bad, just having him around to give advice, or just to push against some of TK's decision making would be good for the company I think.....But would TK take advice? Now that's the question.
I really enjoy your show with WSI. I like the nuts & bolts of how pro wrestling works. I also enjoy the road stories. Your invasion angle is a perfect introduction for Shane. The slow burn is great. But Stevie how would you bridge the gap between the two? Would you: A) babyface Shane, slow burn, then invasion? Or: B) immediately invade? Or is there a third angle that I'm missing?
Stevie, you come across like such a sweet man Very friendly, funny with a very inoffensive sense of humour Truly legit good guy from a very smoke and mirrors industry It’s a pleasure watching your take on all things pro wrestling
30-40 year old Shane and Darby? Sure. 54 year old Shane needs to be way more careful. Referee/Ospreay ideas are terrible. A Shane faction or Shane in the Elite are easily the most obvious ways to go. Tony needs a face to represent him however, as Tony/Shane promos and fight... are not gonna work lol. I like Stevie's idea, Shane as a trojan horse, slowly stealing the company from Tony.
Shane has had the best teacher in the business , Vince . He knows production , creating and booking . I would use a wizard of Oz black and white to color type of production if Shane shows up .
This was great. Did not expect this. I think there are tons of way they could go about this. I just hope they don't rush it and ruin the momentum they could build.
I'm sure it "leaked" just to get people watching. Because Tony and shane are looking exactly at the person who took the photo. They know who took the picture. So it's not like someone who took the photo will get in trouble for the leak.
Would have been soooo much better if it had been a complete surprise. It gets watered down now. But cool to see a McMahon in another promotion if it happens
I can see this coming off for sure. AEW has been drifting along for way too long. An Ivasion 2 scenario could lead to all manner of possibilities! Its gotta go down at Wembley- imagine the response!! Good stuff!
Until Tony gives up the book to someone who actually knows what they are doing (someone like, I don't know, DUSTIN RHODES??) then the numbers are going to continue to fall.
We have no idea how this meeting was brokered or why.We do know WBD are low balling AEW with goo reason. We know Tony Can't book. It's not inconceivable that Shane knows a lot more about those talks and he can see where AEW has fallen? Why do you assume Shane is only coming in as a talent. WBD 100% have demanded that Shane be brought in as an Executive Producer in AEW in order for them to get a Renewal
Agreed. I don’t buy that it’s just as a talent. Shane knows the business and Tony could use that help. Shane’s probably trying to negotiate ownership interest.
Further more. The Jim Cornetts, Vince Russo, Erich Bischoffs of the world along with the Meltzers and the Dirt Sheet Community can All believe in their heart of hearta that Shane has no talent, no business and no chance at running a Wrestling Organization. It doesn't matter. It only matters that the WBD people and Shane believe he can along with Tony. I've heard lots of commtors and podcastsers take a reductive approach at Shane's ability in the Business. Well his resume says that he was an Executive at the biggest most successful wrestling organization in History during the organizations Golden Hour. Shane also was enough of a visionary at that time to try and Purchase the biggest most successful MMA company in the history of the world at the ground floor. When you look at WCW before they named Bischoffs as Booker it's clear that AEW is in a similar situation. Look at Eric's resume then and compare it to Shane's now. So yeah why wouldn't Shane not want the executive producer Job along with equity and options for more equity in the Future instead of just a talent contract?
I dont mind Shane joining AEW, but only as a backstage producer and brand ambassador. He's had successful ventures outside of WWE and I think he should use those skills to expand the brand outside the US.
very interesting breaking news, if I was Khan, I would introduce Shane as his new director of operations and that the Bucks wouldn't dare attack Shane (he's bigger and has a reputation). More or less that he's going to be there to equalize the threat from the Elite and you can have Christopher Daniels turn on TK and Shane. I would also bring in the Hurt Business to side with Shane and Khan. You can throw Ms CEO Mone in the mix too for facilitating the deal, lots of possibilities
I would love to see Shane on AEW. My wishful theory is that he'll resurrect the Attitude Era. With him on board giving Tony good sound advice and his presence will attract some serious star power. He could probably hire some good writers to beef up ratings. I see this as a positive.
Call AEW has to do is license "For the Love of Money money" by Bone thugs or even The Ojay's song of the same name and it'll fit perfectly fine for Shane McMahon.
I don't know exactly what kind of wrestling product Freddie Prinze Jr is putting together but from how he talks about it I really think Stevie would slot right into a creative role there (should it ever materialize).
I do believe Shane does a lot of business in DFW because my friend served him at a restaurant months before he was in the AEW radar and he told him he’s just in town for business.
Sure i dont watch much other then watching this and dutch its all the wrestling i watch. But seeing shane go there as a manager etc. Theres a good story or stories to play out. Keep up the good work. See you on my next 420. Lol cheers
I can't believe people don't understand the basic dynamics of making an entertaining show!! It has little to do with surprises but it needs to be backed up by compelling stories!! Until AEW does episodic television telling compelling stories that invoke a reaction, they could bring in anyone and it would be a 1 or 2 week pop!
It does look like a Jim johnson song, but it’s also Shane’s it could have been done outside the regular contract. I think Shane’s used it before when he wasn’t representing wwe
Stevie is right on at 10:13....If one of Tony's 100 "HUGE ANNOUCEMENTS" is something as big as Shane McMahon showing up in AEW, then that will probably go a long way.
I think Shane McMahon coming in could only make the place better..it gets WWE looking at them..and I would have Shane McMahon brought in as Tony kaun sold shares...so he also "owns" the company..and have him go against the Elite. If he does wrestle...then it should be in a few months after hes there. Maybe Shane as GM of Dynamite.
I think they should use him as an on air authority figure, maybe as a face. Have him clash with ex WWE guys, like they hold animosity towards him because of his father. Then get the ex WWE guys to form a stable and they to rebel against Tony and The EVPs. And when it looks like Shane is going to Join Tony, make him turn and join the WWE guys.
"Stevie said something very funny about the photograph which I won't repeat." -- when are podcasters going to learn that vaguely mentioning things talked about (or are going to be talked about) off-pod makes your show less interesting? By the way, this is a podcast.
He’s been in a company that runs like a machine and probably knows how to get AEW operational in at least a little bit of a similar way. They really need the help. What I am unsure of is if Khan would let him reform things there to make it viable and profitable

some sketchy looking guy was seen creeping outside the office door, hes been named as MAVE DELTZER.
His partner in crime, Rince Vusso was seen outside in a van waiting...

Just imagine when Vince gets out of his whole mess and debuts. As long as he’s still alive and mobile, it will absolutely happen.
Im going to be honest....something tells me this is not going to end well for some reason for tony.
I’ll show you, You’ll See!!!!
Shane learned from his dad. Standing over Tony is such a power move.
Yeah, but TK is still gonna be his Boss, standing not really doing much if it's not a partnership, but TK giving him a job, he could stand on the roof if he likes, doesn't change anything.

Shane vs Darby Allin (First man concussion match)
Yeah just you remember who ok that underground crap . It was Vince and his Butt kissing Son in Law . So what does that say about them and the way they run that PG Company
The other dude glitched @ 12:24 lol
I gotta admit, even though I thought Shane to AEW sounds like a circus, all of Stevie's ideas on how to book him actually sound damn good lol
McMahon In my opinion would be good for AEW, either as a heel authority figure, to go up against the Elite, or just have him in the back ground, he's been around Wrestling all his life, he's seen the ups and downs, the good the bad, just having him around to give advice, or just to push against some of TK's decision making would be good for the company I think.....But would TK take advice?

Bring in Shane as booker and general manager for one year.

It’s all about the elite and Shane

Someone took a picture and ran away.
The McMahon Revenge Tour!
the offspring song was "come out and play". "come as you are" is a Nirvana song.
if not avaliable in a physical capacity my guess having shane on board would be an test run on aew having investors
Great Job 🍺🍺
Mercedes Moan said she took the photo
I’d definitely would tune in if they work together, but that camera is so got damn clear that it looks like AI Stevie lol fr fr

I'm sure it "leaked" just to get people watching. Because Tony and shane are looking exactly at the person who took the photo. They know who took the picture. So it's not like someone who took the photo will get in trouble for the leak.
The chair next to Tony was pulled out as if ti make room.
Do guys think we’ll ever see a 100 man mega royal rumble between WWE/ AEW/ TNA , they split the cuts and PPV points equally
Stevie and James have fantastic chemistry 👍 Stella duo.
They could do the invasion angle correctly!
Great content as usual guys. The face filter on Stevie is a bit distracting though.
Shane having a heel WWE faction would be fun, especially if they brought in Bobby Lashley as part of it.
I like the idea of Shane slowly turning heel and mocking Tony while he's at it. Unfortunately, this might turn fans against AEW itself.
Stevie Richards is cooking here. If they’d take his advice I’d definitely be watching AEW.
In my best Vince McMahon voice - "That's---that's gotta be Shane!".
Tony Kahn always has a surprised look on his face lol...
Shane, part of the Elite, would be fucking crazy
Would have been soooo much better if it had been a complete surprise. It gets watered down now. But cool to see a McMahon in another promotion if it happens

Security is lacking…Won’t change AEWs just fantastic booking.
TK has EVERYONE sign an NDA. Jim Cornette still can't talk about his convo about joining before the company even started. Tony LEAKED that photo.
Keep this without news from places that aren’t important.

What if shane is handling preliminary talks to facilitate a working arrangement between aew and wwe
So supposedly..Sasha Banks took that picture..she alleges on her twitter
The only way Shane can help Tony Khan is if Tony takes his advice and follows through - even if it goes against the wishes of the Lollypop Guild.
I think they should use him as an on air authority figure, maybe as a face. Have him clash with ex WWE guys, like they hold animosity towards him because of his father. Then get the ex WWE guys to form a stable and they to rebel against Tony and The EVPs. And when it looks like Shane is going to Join Tony, make him turn and join the WWE guys.
