Came away from this interview with a real negative view of TK. His constant redirecting and outright hostility towards basic questions posed was extremely unprofessional. Most of these question were teed up for Tony to clear up criticism & common complaints, he instead took offense.
He's been doing that for years. I don't know why he even does press if he doesn't wanna answer questions. Everything about this dude, from his horrible booking, to his obvious habits, makes me shake my head.
Where's the growth. You compare the ratings from this time last year and 2022 etc to no the ratings are massively down. Instead of worrying about the opposition, remove the non-draws stop force feeding them down everyone's throat and focus on what made AEW semi defent. Build around Swerve MJF and Osperay.
He never mentioned Swerve ONCE but kept name dropping all the pale faced dudes. Rdiculous, that brother is nothing but a token to this drugged out geek.
I watched for 2 mins... As Dave was rambling his first question, I realised Tony would simply give him a non-answer and plug his shows so I dont think I can be fucked...
These were the lightest and most charitable questions ever. What happened to that Dave Meltzer who said they're not supposed to like you and you're supposed to ask real questions? Is that only when it comes to anyone but Tony?
If you hate AEW, why are you watching this interview. Why does it interest you. You just come on here to leave hateful comments for the sheep to like and leave their childish smiley face emojis. This is not for you. What a sad case you are.
If it's a dave clip it usually says Wrestling Observer Radio with a red background in the thumbnail, If it's wrestling Observer Live it's usually Bryan and vinny.
while Tony was on camera, I counted: 22 1/2 blinks (approx 3 half blinks) I didnt catch the first blink til 4:10 which is then folllwed by several subsequent blinks I have now provided you more info than what you probably got out of this video if the number is wrong, then hey, I blinked and I missed it
Holy shit man, I started checking at 2:10 and he REALLY does go 2 full minutes with no blinking. Depending on the source, the average person blinks 10-20 times per minute so that's wild.

Dress for the job you want, talk for the "war" you wish could be in so can relive your childhood, playing the role of Vince McMahon. Some podcast did a whole indepth breakdown of the actual business metrics all around, and said, aew isnt in wwes universe, its only fans in the wrestling bubble ( not said in derogatory way) who perceive as equals, which makes sense.
@@simonhh did the deals they made to beat Vince in the ratings, it is what it is. You seriously can’t say that AEW has ever come close to beating them once
How idiotic. What do you want him to way everything is not great, and is not polite. Would you rather him be a jerk and say negative comments about his company.
GOD should punish you for that. He may have some type of eye problem that causes this, such as thyroid eye disease. It may be a health issue. Get a life.
So Dave takes about a minute and a half to ask him about his shitty ratings prefacing it with how actually they’re really good. Bryan asks him an interesting question which he then completely non answers. Great video guys. Liked and subscribed.

@@JTKatz07 If you get that from that, you have an issue within yourself that needs to be looked at. They are wrestling fans and have a guest. What do you expect them to be sad? Wake up.
TONY, "IF" you're reading this. Look we all think you're a nice guy. But you can't book. Nobody cares about Stardom except the smallest die hard niche fans that you already have. Stop focusing on other companies and talents that dont bring anything long-term to your company! Focus on promoting your own brand. Gain NEW viewers! At the moment, you guys can't even sell out local shows and you're ratings are tanking but the sky is always sunny right? You're on national TV so take advantage of it! You book as if you are on a indy network.
There's real relevant questions to be asked about ratings/attendences/big signings not producing, and we do you get? "So, how about those fans who think they know the results huh" Meltzer and Alvarez are lame AF.
Look. AEW's honeymoon phase has been over. They need really good storylines with cliffhangers every week. Not just a storyline, plenty of stories going on.
I'm going to sue Dave Meltzer for the pain caused listening to this "interview". Dave takes a day to ask a loaded question for Tony to then take forever to answer since he always fillers. This "interview" was a total set up from the start, notice how it doesn't run smoothly and the 'questions' asked are ones that literally no one would ask, especially when so much has happened at AEW in the last couple of years and these guys ask about the demo and 'frustration with fans fantasy booking'. These aren't journalists people
Book Jay White and the Gun Club Better... Soecial Group. You have arguably the Best wrestlers.. Get a producer, storyteller to enhance the product. Come now TonyK. Book the wrestlers better. Its the storylines that needs work. Also a Corey Graves commentator.. You need urgently.
Why didn't they ask him why there's only like 2 real contenders in the entire Owen cup and it's for a title shot. No Okada, no MJF, No Orange, No Jericho, No one really outside of Danielson and Hangman(wildcard)
Hahaha how can he say shit likethis with a straight face haha .. live fan reactions, when theres more empty seats than not .. great tv , viewerships consistently falling .. he’s excited for matches from other companies when noone cares because theres no story or build about said person so why would anyone care the list endless but hes just can’t admit that hes got it wrong!!
Guys, I don’t blame you for doing this interview, but when people like cm punk says you guys have bias when reporting, it’s kinda hard to ignore the friendship on display here. It’s not journalism. It’s just 3 friends talking.
the thing with Punk he has been proven to be a pathological liar and a fake and not to mention a hypocrite 💯 the guy just a angry old man that knows time got him
Tony still worries WWE because he always brings them up. WWE is on a whole new level with HHH in charge of creative. The Bloodline Civil War segments will beat out AEW.
First thing, TK said he needs to focus on doing good AEW shows and not what the competition is doing. No shit, that should have been your goal from day 1. Secondly, he said historically we have done great numbers. Historically?? Your company is 5 years old, there is no historically. A new company started out hot bc people were tuning in to check it out so of course numbers would be high. The first couple of years people are going to come and go and you will eventually find your place. Right now the ratings reflect the product. TK can play with his numbers, data, stats and try to spin them anyway he wants but the truth is AEW is not in the same league as WWE when it comes to ratings or the type of money they deserve for a tv deal. There is nothing wrong with that. Stop comparing yourself to them and stop pretending there is some huge war between the two companies or that AEW is some big threat to the WWE. Focus on making your product and company better. Stop worrying about what the other guys are doing. The WWE is like the UFC and AEW is Bellator. Again, nothing wrong with that. Bellator always has solid fighters and a decent product at times but always seems to find a way to take one step forward and two steps backwards time and time again just like AEW does.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24 He had years to get Jacob and the other two. He could have bought out their contracts or got them when they were available. He worked with NJPW and got Osprey way before his contract ended
@@mikeawesome2733 Jacob Fatu has a criminal record. That is why no company wanted him. WWE will do anything for the almighty dollar. They would hire anyone, case in point, mental patient CM Punk, fresh off lunging at his former boss.
I got really annoyed listening to this because at the end Bryan asked about overcoming predictability and Tony started off fine then he started rambling off about the connection of Mina and the fans and sending people to Stardom and shit.... He answered nothing of what Bryan actually asked... Tony he asked you about unpredictable outcomes FFS.... He had the right storyline to use for his answer.. Having Mariah May being the center of all of this and having her flip flop sides and having it make sense produces unpredictable television that makes fans want to tune in more.. Like one moment Mariahs doing entrances with both ladies.. Then she's getting hit by a champagne bottle by Mina but it happened because Toni ducked.. So it boils down to who Mariah sees as the guilty party down the line.. You add twists and turns so the fans question the predictability of your outcomes... That's the answer Tony!
Dave, spit it out already! Tony, individual wrestlers simply appearing does not draw an audience. Its the story and character development that makes people tune in.
TV shows would kill for your ratings...LMFAO!! AEW is a sinking ship. They will lose their TV deal unless they start attracting traditional wrestling fans who don't want to watch this garbage, e.g., no kayfabe; everyone kicks out of everything; there's a run-in after every match; all backstage interviews are interrupted; Tony's booking is terrible, etc.
Everyone shitting on Dave. The man highlighted clearly how bad the demo has gotten vs their earlier days and vs wwe and when put to Tony he spun it. What more do you want from him?
“Look at the summer of 2021 which was our best year.” Oh, you mean when you signed the person that is still your biggest draw despite not being in the company anymore, CM Punk?
That dumpster fire CM Puke didn't do much to help the ratings. He beat up his coworkers and treated them like crap. Good riddance. His wrestling days are over. They don't put him much on WWE TV, because there is only so much people can take of him. He is always injured anyhow. He's not even good on the mic anymore, the only thing he was ever decent at back in pre 2013 WWE days.
@@user-qm8hk9zb1p They had to choice but to get rid of the criminal. He lunged at his boss and fought coworkers after they gave him his own show to keep him away from others. Any company would have gotten rid of the mental patient.

Guys, I don’t blame you for doing this interview, but when people like cm punk says you guys have bias when reporting, it’s kinda hard to ignore the friendship on display here. It’s not journalism. It’s just 3 friends talking.
Phil Brooks is a stand up guy.
the thing with Punk he has been proven to be a pathological liar and a fake and not to mention a hypocrite 💯 the guy just a angry old man that knows time got him
@@detmorales9151this doesn't prove him wrong about this matter here
They been beyond bias it’s part of reason why AEW won’t get better
Woah a journalist isn't allowed to have a friendly conversation. News to me since media sit-down interviews have been a thing forever
Did you purposely made Tony Khan look like a clown on the thumbnail?
That thumbnail is diabolical 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tony still worries WWE because he always brings them up. WWE is on a whole new level with HHH in charge of creative. The Bloodline Civil War segments will beat out AEW.
These comments are far more entertaining then AEW. Hilarious shit😅
Easy solution, hire a writing team for fuck sakes! The solution is not more Blood and Guts
First thing, TK said he needs to focus on doing good AEW shows and not what the competition is doing. No shit, that should have been your goal from day 1.
Secondly, he said historically we have done great numbers. Historically?? Your company is 5 years old, there is no historically. A new company started out hot bc people were tuning in to check it out so of course numbers would be high. The first couple of years people are going to come and go and you will eventually find your place. Right now the ratings reflect the product. TK can play with his numbers, data, stats and try to spin them anyway he wants but the truth is AEW is not in the same league as WWE when it comes to ratings or the type of money they deserve for a tv deal. There is nothing wrong with that. Stop comparing yourself to them and stop pretending there is some huge war between the two companies or that AEW is some big threat to the WWE. Focus on making your product and company better. Stop worrying about what the other guys are doing. The WWE is like the UFC and AEW is Bellator. Again, nothing wrong with that. Bellator always has solid fighters and a decent product at times but always seems to find a way to take one step forward and two steps backwards time and time again just like AEW does.
“Tony will you be signing your own Samoans soon or no”
WWE has them all. They should change WWE to SFW, Samoan Family Wrestling.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24 He had years to get Jacob and the other two. He could have bought out their contracts or got them when they were available. He worked with NJPW and got Osprey way before his contract ended
@@mikeawesome2733 Jacob Fatu has a criminal record. That is why no company wanted him. WWE will do anything for the almighty dollar. They would hire anyone, case in point, mental patient CM Punk, fresh off lunging at his former boss.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24 a lot of people in AEW have been arrested for DUIs, Road Rage, Drinking in public, etc.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24did we watch the same video? You call that a lunge? 😂
Ahh we're sitting in on an aew staff meeting nice to be a fly on the wall
I got really annoyed listening to this because at the end Bryan asked about overcoming predictability and Tony started off fine then he started rambling off about the connection of Mina and the fans and sending people to Stardom and shit.... He answered nothing of what Bryan actually asked... Tony he asked you about unpredictable outcomes FFS.... He had the right storyline to use for his answer.. Having Mariah May being the center of all of this and having her flip flop sides and having it make sense produces unpredictable television that makes fans want to tune in more.. Like one moment Mariahs doing entrances with both ladies.. Then she's getting hit by a champagne bottle by Mina but it happened because Toni ducked.. So it boils down to who Mariah sees as the guilty party down the line.. You add twists and turns so the fans question the predictability of your outcomes... That's the answer Tony!
Dave, spit it out already! Tony, individual wrestlers simply appearing does not draw an audience. Its the story and character development that makes people tune in.
TV shows would kill for your ratings...LMFAO!! AEW is a sinking ship. They will lose their TV deal unless they start attracting traditional wrestling fans who don't want to watch this garbage, e.g., no kayfabe; everyone kicks out of everything; there's a run-in after every match; all backstage interviews are interrupted; Tony's booking is terrible, etc.
TK didn't blink not one time from 2:07 - 4:11 and hows that possible 💯
Everyone shitting on Dave. The man highlighted clearly how bad the demo has gotten vs their earlier days and vs wwe and when put to Tony he spun it. What more do you want from him?
Tony Khan has been single handedly giving Cornette free content to pick apart on his podcast for years, and I'm here for every single bit of it.. 😂😂
Remember when Matt Belloni of Puck got accused of being a shill for WWE because he once interviewed Nick Khan?
WTF would want to interview that loser Nick Khan.
Dave just rambles on and on without saying anything of substance
I got dizzy listening to him
So does Tony
Why are you here then. What complete and utter stupidity. You must be doing that for the other sheep to get clicks.
WTF are you doing listening to them then. It makes you look stupid.
I only listened to this just to hear all the excuses it’s embarrassing
Tony doesn’t blink.
Most companies would kill for the amount of money that WWE is making. First 2 years 3 years of AEW was great Tony Khan is totally delusional.
EVERYTHING IS GREAT THANKS GUYS 😂
“Look at the summer of 2021 which was our best year.”
Oh, you mean when you signed the person that is still your biggest draw despite not being in the company anymore, CM Punk?
That dumpster fire CM Puke didn't do much to help the ratings. He beat up his coworkers and treated them like crap. Good riddance. His wrestling days are over. They don't put him much on WWE TV, because there is only so much people can take of him. He is always injured anyhow. He's not even good on the mic anymore, the only thing he was ever decent at back in pre 2013 WWE days.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24one of if not their biggest ratings this year is the all in footage featuring guess who cm punk
@@user-qm8hk9zb1p They had to choice but to get rid of the criminal. He lunged at his boss and fought coworkers after they gave him his own show to keep him away from others. Any company would have gotten rid of the mental patient.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24yeah your delusional af
@@therev_sungyungmoon24 lmaooo are u being fr right now??? Jungle jack ran his mouth and got choked. He didn’t lunge at Tony khan😂he yelled at his “boss” that he quits. He also didn’t want separate shows he wanted to be released because quote “these guys don’t want me here”. He would’ve rather they just worked it out and worked together as a team but young bucks are pussies. Yeah sure buddy any company would get rid of the so called mental patient👌🏾except the biggest one.
People saying ratings dont count when Roman came back and did something like a 2.4. For live tv in 2024 thats huge
Please no more Mox
1. Can Tony sit ANY closer to the camera? I couldn't see EVERY nose hair and feel ripped off.
2. Where is the new TV Rights deal?
is jon moxley really doing antyhing to move the needle?
No one is.
@@strnglhld apparently he mentioned aew having so many "game changers" but we arriving at 502 k viewers in the ratings even if it went back to 600 k is that any better ?
@@kaysaiah3000 I think he meant channel changers
