So Punk was right yet again lmao
>>18679435Sounds like WCW.
>Sportskeeda>The Hat's Jannetty
Vince was the same, often rewriting shows right before they go live.
>>18679711Vince Russo that is. The Montreal Screwdrob was decided weeks in advance.
>>18679435>says he doesn't want to repeat WCW's mistakes>repeats WCW's mistakes to a Twhat did Tony mean with this?
>>18679435Maybe Tony's actually tired of AEW but he keeps it running because he doesn't want to put people out of work.
he just sounds bitter that he didn't have his contract renewed. he speaks very broadly of a problem without providing specific examples. and this comes from a tiny khan hater.
>NOOOOOO I need at least 12 hours to learn my 2 lines and rehearse my 4 minute matchJust call it in the ring bitch, absolute E-drone moment from Swagger
>>18679732>he speaks very broadly of a problem without providing specific examples"they stopped doing production meetings" is pretty specific.>>18679734Kek. The AEW shill has nothing and he's just seething.
>>18679732That's what I got from it too. He tried to play nice and couldn't get a new contract so he's just bitter and blowing off some steam. I don't think Hager really regrets his time in AEW, he actually had a decent run given how he was never over.
>this was the worst place ever!>they also need to give me another 5 year contract!!Doesn’t add up. Bitter ex flailing out, possibly financially backed by WWE to do this interview. Unfortunately if Hager is the best you’ve got, you’re failing.A useful idiot is only useful if he’s not too much of an idiot.
>>18679744>he's just bitter and blowing off some steamNope. He's speaking facts about Tony being incompetent and running AEW like a clown show.>I don't think Hager really regrets his time in AEWHe had a blast in AEW working with his buddies. The problem was Tony.
>>18679756>h-he's just bitter!>WWE's probably paying him!So this is the AEW shill narrative
>>18679725It seems that way. He should give up the book and take a step back. That would be good for Tony and AEW. But his ego won't allow it.
>>18679435There was always a push by certain people there to try and get rid of anyone who wants it to run like a business and be in order instead of people doing whatever they want regardless if it makes money. Anything that gets over that is outside of a certain friend circle also becomes a 'problem', see the Hurt Business. At first it seemed like Jericho was one of them, but it seems apparent now that they also turned on Jericho because he had his own creative ideas, and even if they weren't good, the point was to get someone new over.
>>18679711Vince's worst work was when he became erratic and he would rewrite the entire show on his own an hour before the gates open.
>>18679806Maybe on Planet Tony Khan
>>18679774Football season is starting and his pops isn't all that good at running the team, so Tony likes to step in with the meme talent. Sorry Jags fans, but the franchise is as fucked as AEW
>>18679435And yet again we find out that Tony can't put his foot down and be a boss. He rather wants to be one of the boys than actually making it work. If he would get the money from his dad to pay for his toys, AEW would've been shut down by now by how it's run. Like others have said, it's exactly how WCW ran, but with more money, so the shutting down/buy-out phase hasn't begun yet
>>18679435didn't the supposed jake larper say he didn't like punk because of politicsso why would he say punk was right
What I love about the truth coming out is that everybody with eyeballs can see that Tony has given up. His heart isn't in it anymore.Anyone who questions that is a liar not only to /pw/ but to themselves. Breaking free of cult mentality is hard, but you can do it!
>>18679765Did you expect better? The copes are going to just get more bizzare and retarded until they find tonys blown out body in some panhandle dog kennel
>>18679435Someone else talked about what a clusterfuck the booking is right before the show. Maybe Mark Henry or Big Show basically said they had no idea what was on the shows most weeks even as they were about to start. Think Cornette and others talked shit. This was like 4 or 5 years ago
>>18679435Punk's work since returning to WWE has been mediocre at best, relying on getting carried by Drew and is now unwatchable
>>18679435>even Jericho gets ghosted by TonyLmaooo
>>18680329
>>18680329what was wrong with the gunther match or the triple threat at WM? Let me guess, you're the IYOfag that is jealous that he gets to touch her, aren't you?
>>18679991Cause Hager is bitter that he wasn't given the contract offer he thought he deserved
>>18679725at some point you gotta put your action figures back in the toy box, otherwise they get shoved up ricochet's asshole
>>18679774Please suggest what booker Tony should hire
@bootyboy18680407Any one booker with any kind of psychology that Tony can feed his rough draft to and can get a fixed version back that removes the silly stuff, repetitive angles, constant run-ins, plot holes, and lack of motivations being established in feuds then decides how long reigns and angles should actually be to have maximum impact.
>>18680407Val Venis
>>18679801>run it like a businessreminder that Phil was banning people he didn't like personally from Collision>>18680285>>18680309You have been seething over a promotion existing for the better part of a decade.
>>18679435In short, Tony Khan got bored with his wrestling toy. He want to move on and find something new to play with but he also feel bad for his toys so he let AEW stay alive for now. Hmm, the situation sounds pretty bad for AEW roster.
>>18680428Every single time. Can't even name one.>>18680371>triple threatfucking lmao
>>18680517>2 more weeks fellow dronies!
>>18680536It was never two more week, you dork. It has always been about "when will Tony got bore with his toy".
@respondstobootyboy18680523ArnCornetteDutchGedoDeliriousSapolskyPunkCodyFlairWardEtc
>>18680407I'm not familiar with indy shitters but theres got to be a lot of bookers out there with experience they could try Or do you seriously believe Tony Khan is the best possible booker AEW can have
>>18679435I don't understand how this retard can be so enamored with a gimmick. DOOD YOU DON'T GET IT THE HAT IS PURPLE AND WHENEVER I WALK INTO A SCENE EVERYONE WILL BE SURPRISED AND SAY "WHOA, LOOK AT LE FUNNY COLOR HAT!!!! I AM GOING TO BE THE NEXT STONE COLD!!!"
>>18679435>So punk was right yet againHe's been right since the scrum
>>18680691Well yeah. He's a narcissist but he definitely understands the business better than fucking Tony Khan
>>18680725Low bar lol
>>18679435Did CM Punk really end up winning in the end?
>>18680736Punks been cashing nothing but W's and AEW residuals since he left the clown circus
>>18680736Yes, Punk inherited the Cornette blessing where all his enemies end up getting KWAB'd and everything he does ends up working out in the end. Cody also got a magic touch but the Rock Cena thing may have dispelled it, we shall see.
>>18680842>main event 3 straight wrestlemaniasI think cody is gonna be okay anon
>>18680493>reminder that Phil was banning people he didn't like personally from Collisionsource: just trust me bro
>>18680908NTA but that would make Phil more based
>>18680858Gonna be real bro, I'm worried about my Codemeister. His whole run since his return has been narrowly evading the worst possible outcome and somehow coming out on top. That's also part of what makes it so fun to watch.
>>18680969>Dustin is Dwayne best bro>Dusty was Paul's mentorIt's impossible for Cody to fail, anon.>B-but Dwayne and his coconut familyYou got work, fren.
>>18680969>let's himself get workedBased
>>18680627So you don't know huh?>>18680450What promotions has he booked for before? Do you have an example of any particularly good angles he booked?
>>18679732>>18679744Delusional faggots
>>18679732Have you ever been employed and had a contract? With terms?
>>18680627>I'm not familiar with indy shitters but theres got to be a lot of bookers out there with experience they could trySo just try out a bunch of random Indy Booker's and hope one works out huh? How long should each one be tried for? A month? 3 months? 6 months? A year?
>>18680517Good morning saar
>>18679801I think who has Tony's ear shifts around. Jericho had tons of pull with Tony early on but I think he started getting slowly muscled out over time as more and more people surrounded Tony.
>>18680574>Arn Is focused on managing his son>Cornette Is an out of touch boomer who bombed hard the last time he booked a promotion >Dutch Serious health problems>Gedo Can't speak english>Delirious His booking of Roh was not good>Sapolsky Works for WWE >PunkWorks for WWE and is an unstable retard>Cody The codyverse was shit>Flair Would book himself to wrestle again and likely due in the ring
>>18680547SIERRAECHOROMEOSIERRA>>18680574>cowardreplying>Cornette>Dutch>Delirious>Sapolsky>Phil>Cody>Flair>WardAll of these are provably worse bookers than Tony.>ArnThe fuck did he ever book?
>>18679711But Vince actually re wrote the while show. He was a fucking schizo paranoid autist, but he worked hard.Tony supposedly don't even know what was gonna happen in the show until hours before
>>18679725TK's mistake is turning AEW into a TV show instead of keeping it a PPV event that they can schedule whenever they want to.
>>18682093You are retarded
>>18679435When has Punkster ever been wrong?
>>18681606>gets worked into a froth if you use the word tranny>casually makes fun of ELLs
>>18682125It's ESL's you dumb brown tranny
