> release a teaser for talent letting the audience know something is coming > let the fans discuss and speculate who is coming > after weeks of teasers talent is announced to debut on next weeks show> talent debuts with a flashy entrance and a debut win over established talent > talent cuts a promo introducing themselves to the audience Or you can do it the Tony khan way> zero build > zero teases> entrance way lights up with the name of the talent . Talent comes out to crickets and instantly becomes another toyBefore anyone says it there have been exceptions in the past. “Bearclaw” Keith Lee, Veer , etc . But for the most part, the formulated debut someone to the audience pretty much get somebody over. I can’t for the life of me understand why no one tells Tony how to do these simple things for his tv show. His production is in the toilet and it shows. Simple things like this absolutely kill incoming talent .
>Paul?
OP if you think guys like Show, Henry, Jericho, Punk, and Sting haven't told Tony these things then I have a bridge to sell you.It's been made abundantly clear that he doesn't listen to wise old vets. Tony grew up a spoiled child and has remained as such. Good luck getting ready through to him UNLESS! You are Dave Meltzer. And that is a whole nother can of worms. Meltzer is an autistic old man who is even more out of touch than old Vince was. And because he's autistic you are never going to convince him that what he personally likes in terms of wrestling is not popular with a broader audience. And of course he's the ONE guy Tony will occasionally listen to IF Dave is slobbing the Khan Knob.
>>16758494I dont think Jericho has given him any sound advice actually, hes just fleecing him for everything he can
>>16758364It's not a Tony Con debut unless it happened on rampage
>>16758501>excellent idea khan sir, you always have the good ideas, you're surely getting the meltzer award this year
>>16758501yeah the shit Jericho has been involved with shows that at least as far as his own shit goes, he has a lot of decision making power. And since most of the stuff he's involved in has been cringe and embarrassing it's definitely safe to say any advice from Jericho at this point isn't good anyway.
>>16758501He might've tried to when AEW was starting out but went full fleece mode after realizing Tony would rather listen to the Bucks and MeltzerPlus when you hear about backstage stuff about talents refusing to train for free, the real glass shit and Hangmaam saying he doesn't listen to vets like a badge of honor you can safely assume that's how the mindset of the indy guys backstage works
>>16758501Based jerichad
>>16758364Am I the only one who didn't think his debut was anything special?
>>16758601You are not He beat a mid-card jobber, big deal
>>16758601meeven michael cole said 'to the surprise of no one, heres penta'why would you waste time and money promoting someone when social media is doing it for you?and the match would have been terrible if it werent for gable
>>16758601>>16758619>>16758665You all sound so upset
>>16758601The match was slow. Really slow
>>16758619You sound so sad lol
>>16759264Yeah. WWE did everything right for his debut, but Penta himself is just bad. Or old. I was honestly surprised he managed to botch so much in a match with Gable who tried his fucking best to save him. But when you suicide dive nowhere near your target or slip on ropes as a supposed Luchador, not much Gable could do.They gotta whip him into shape or the "Penta era" will end before spring.
>>16759316They had him doing acrobatics that he cut off of his repertoire during his second half being in aew. It looked awkward.
