The biggest AEW fans are its loudest haters. They know Everything about AEW. And they will make sure to let you know it. In fact, they hate the AEW's product so much that they never miss a show. It's actually quite impressive...

It's pretty simple. If you don't like the product, why watch it? I'm noo die hard aew fan but it's crazy how people follow a product they don't seem to like
I think people want to see AEW do well, as overall it would be good for the wrestling business as a whole. While I don't think Tony should run his business based off of social media comments, but it would not hurt to listen from outside perspective every once and awhile.
Case, this is tremendous, I'm enjoying this so much!! Getting more outta TK than we've gotten in years AND you slapped the Fed fans too. This is fantastic! Thank you so much, keep these going if at all possible!!!
@@leeedwards9068 Because it means that the fictional wins and losses of the wrestlers have clear narrative stakes that are easily understandable. For example, "x wrestler is 3 wins away from #1 number one contender ship" This gives you a clear idea of a characters exact goal, winning precisely 3 matches. Maybe he fails and wins two matches but draws one and the wrestler ranked behind him catches up. Clear expression of narrative stakes for multiple characters are good in episodic storytelling
@@staysolid19 he’s doing well on ppvs n booking has been great. He made swerve into a star n world champion, international champ is prestigious probably more than tnt championship.

While it is nice that Tony Khan is mixing in music with the November Rain video, it seems like he is copying ECW rather than building an identity for AEW with another musical artists music. One of the things Paul Heymen mentioned about the music used in ECW was that he wanted people to associate different music to ECW. The tough reality is November Rain is going to be associated with ECW more than with AEW. I hope Tony works more on creating an identity around AEW instead of just copying and pasting past things from his childhood. There is nothing wrong with taking past concepts and putting an AEW twists to them that create new memories for fans that would be associated with AEW.
Tony's a great guy. He loves good wrestling. To get the promotion hot, you gotta create stars. That's it. Good matches and spot fests don't draw viewers. Scott Hall standing in the ring with a mic is a great example. Hopefully he understands that long spot fests won't help ratings.
If they could get Guns N Roses to perform "November Rain" live at the PPV, that would be incredible. I would imagine the price tag is probably very high though to get them to perform
@@ObviouslyKieran He allowed and was paid by AEW to use their song, November Rain on their program, so he must know more than you think, so make sense when you talk, or at least know your facts first.
This MAN IS STUPID AS HELL LOOK AT WHAT THE FOOTBALL TEAM IS DOING AND AEW THEY BOTH SUCK HIRE SCOTT DEMORE AND CALL IT A DAY STOP BOOKING !! He is a fan and not a boss
I love Tony Con. This guy will take AEW where ever it needs to go. Did I say how much I love this Con guy? With all that money Mr. Con will put AEW where it needs to go. What a Con.
He looks (and sounds) classless and unkempt despite the money. No grasp on reality, a corporate mouthpiece who is no good in business, and utterly delusional.
Tony is great! I question whether the people whining about AEW are even wrestling fans at all. There seems to be a lot of weird people who have just wanted the promotion to fail from the start.
These comments are exactly why AEW is as horrible as it is today. You guys are like a cult all blinded by your leader TK. no matter how horrible the product is you will defend defend and defend. Check out the comments on any AEW video, even actual fans can see how horrible it is.
You're right man look at your replies just people firing the same bad faith crap for 5 years now. Honestly sad they can't just let people enjoy things AEW
Feels like I'm strumming listening too tony wtf, hmm Chicago, you don't have there most famous son anymore do you tony lol, swapped punk for moxley 😮😂😂😂😂
It would so awesome and funny if the Young Bucks wore those crazy kung fu outfits and they spectated the tournament like Shang Tsung. They just need an excuse to wear those kung fu outfits again. They need to make action figures out of those.
He's not a nice guy, he muted the CM Punk chants at that Chicago show during the Elite's entrance but kept the F CM Punk chants during the match unmuted, didn't put him on the video game cover over a friken fight or some insults (which have been done/said by wrestlers all the time since wrestling started), never mentioned him even once on any of the shows after he suspended him and acted like he never existed, publically acted like he fired him even though he quit, and didn't know if he paid for his surgery and rehab (or acted like he didn't know to I guess let the public know once again that he doesn't take him that seriously). It disgusts me that he treated a wrestling legend like that.. he deserves to fail now
The last two times they came to Pittsburgh, the Peterson event center was pretty packed. I saw a lot of AEW shirts too. My brother and I had Young Buck shirts.
its gonna be great, great is the best response from the snowman. and i see he only cares about the matches. and the matches are not that good either. full product sucks.
