Somehow against all odds that was incredible. I was dying laughing
I don't want to see Tony on TV frequently, so if he starts showing up all the time it devalues it, but just as a singular event that was great
He shouldn't show up but how do they progress the story, someone needs to be in his stead whopping ass and making the elite embarrassed, there's potential for a huge babyface to become bigger like the Austin McMahon Boss vs employee dynamic, but remains to be seen.
It could be MJF coming back.. Or Will Ospreay.. Maybe someone else. We do need a good long term main event story to build from this, preferably not involving TK again.
As soon as he was in the ring I thought Oh No Vince Russoo WCW 😂 but it was actually well done, If they have a good plan next.
You’re right, I understand why people are skeptical because of past instances of owners getting involved on TV but I hope he’s smart enough to stay off screen unless absolutely necessary.
MJF is a good call because there’s no way he’s coming back as a heel at least at first
Eh. 50% chance it’s bad, 45% chance it’s bad but it’s really funny, 4% chance it’s good, 1% chance that it’s so good that TK finds his stride as an on-screen character and gives AEW a gazillion viewers.
Well if there was ever a time for Perry to silence the “he couldn’t cut a promo to save his own mother” critics, this seems like a pretty good opportunity.
IIRC the whole tape thing was him persisting on it even when told it was bad.
Hopefully this is short because both Tony and Jack aren't bearable if they have the mic for more than 3 mins.
Tony is wearing a pull apart suit and mid-way through it Jungle Jack yanks him and pulls it off to reveal he's wearing a CM Punk ringer t-shirt
*And nothing else*
>But it wasn't bad. In fact it was incredible
typing your opinion isn't going to make it my opinion
>why focus on negativity?
I was focused on the segment I just saw, which happened to be bad
>Did you not want to enjoy it, but did
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would (because I expected Tony to speak) but overall didn't really enjoy it.
Would be hilarious that after showing the footage (which many said would bury Jack Perry), his incredible momentuk actually gets killed by a coked out Tony Khan promo
I can’t believe I’ve come all the way around to saying airing the footage was actually a good idea, but the only person who looked bad was Tony and that’s honestly fine, everyone else involved just got more exciting
Does it though? Punk attacks him when he's adjusting his hair and its broken up like instantly. Like it doesn't make Punk look bad but I feel like it's net neutral for Perry
I would bet a very large sum of money on the idea that if not for TK being directly involved in the storyline outside of Kayfabe in every single capacity - that he would not be in the story in the ring whatsoever.
Also he's booked matched on Dynamite live and in person. He also was an on screen character when Max and Cole knocked on this door.
Acting like this is now some big deal is hilarious to me and a weak attempt at a "gotcha!"
Bucks superkick Tony, Okada rainmakers him, and the new Elite stands tall in the ring to end the show over the body of a coked out millionaire. Calling it.
If he's gonna be an on air character, I'm hoping for a Benson from Regular Show type character, *"Go out there and give the fans a great match, OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!"*.

Hopefully it is like the one Cena promo where he got accused of yapping & never letting other ppl shine… while everytime he went to talk, he kept getting cut off 😂
Not even “nine todays from tonight!!” It’s happening tonight!! 🤦♂️
Edit: crap, just realized I came late to the party and stole other posts. “My bad” - R Truth

oh no i dont know if i can handle tony khan speaking into a live mic in a storyline capacity
Hopefully he has leveled up his mic skills and taken them to the next level by leveling up.
In Winnipeg. Presented by. Shazam! Fury of the gods!
I don’t think he talked about leveling up enough!
Level up.
We’re leveling up!
Not sure if you are making fun of Tony or a really bad fight manga.
It's a reference to when the All Atlantic Championship became the International Championship
..hey, Baki is good dumb fun
He’s not amazing but he’s not terrible. He speaks before and after every show.
Well, he didn't speak
Hopefully the C-E-O or her ghostwriter worked with Tony on his delivery.
TK seems to be a better speaker when he’s going from memory versus reading off a cue card and the camera staring point blank at him.
Well it's a good thing you didn't have to
Neither did Tony
Haha those were my thoughts exactly but he nailed his non-speaking part!
Jack Perry about to lay TK out in the ring as AEW goes off the air.
Lotto numbers please.
How rich are you now?
95% chance this is bad 5% chance this is amazing
133.67 percent chance of going viral regardless
My power just flickered with all the meme generators spinning up
And 100% reason to remember the name.
Foat Minah! M Shinoda! And the Styles of Beyond!

Now that you know what happened, what do you think?

I think they should just have Kenny come be an on screen surrogate for him while he's injured.
It was amazing
5% cashes.
Maybe it's going to be so bad it's funny and amazing.
If this isn't handled correctly, it has potential to be exploding barbed wire deathmatch level bad...
Shockingly, we hit the jackpot on that 5%
Eh. 50% chance it’s bad, 45% chance it’s bad but it’s really funny, 4% chance it’s good, 1% chance that it’s so good that TK finds his stride as an on-screen character and gives AEW a gazillion viewers.
Well if there was ever a time for Perry to silence the “he couldn’t cut a promo to save his own mother” critics, this seems like a pretty good opportunity.
I mean he’s has to step up, because Tony is going to bring this segment far down if he cuts any semblance of a promo
NINE DAYS FROM TONIGHT
Coulda swore Tony said he had no interest in being an on air character when this whole thing started…
Plans change, pal.
You can't stop Durag Tony
Give me what I want
Soon to be AEW Champion!
He still doesn’t but has shown he’ll do something on TV for certain people (MJF).
IIRC the whole tape thing was him persisting on it even when told it was bad. Hopefully this is short because both Tony and Jack aren't bearable if they have the mic for more than 3 mins.
Yeah but Tony needs to to pump those rating number with his larger than life persona.
I hope it goes well but oh my god no Edit: let the record show that I was scared for Tony Khan
Tony is wearing a pull apart suit and mid-way through it Jungle Jack yanks him and pulls it off to reveal he's wearing a CM Punk ringer t-shirt *And nothing else*
In retrospect, I love how wrong everyone in this thread was. Turned out to be an awesome segment.
fucking ok I’ll turn on the tv
This is legitimately getting me considering watching the show just for the segment TK is a draw tbh
So not 9 days from tonight then?
i don't know if it's proper to say "this is a mistake" or "this will be a mistake" but whichever one is the correct grammar, pretend i said that one
It was fucking awesome! Lol
the only way it avoided being the worst segment of all time was because he did not speak
But it wasn't bad. In fact it was incredible, so why focus on negativity? Did you not want to enjoy it, but did and you're trying to process that?

"is" because it hasn't happened yet. And yes it is
Tony has the weirdest voice tones it’s like he forgets he’s using a mic
Would be hilarious that after showing the footage (which many said would bury Jack Perry), his incredible momentuk actually gets killed by a coked out Tony Khan promo
They should do this backstage and air the footage next week so they at least get a ratings bump 🤷♂️
Oh boy. Tony with a mic on live TV in the ring as part of a segment should never be a thing.
It’s crazy they’re deciding to make the All In fight into a storyline AFTER CM Punk was fired.
And the footage made Perry look like a bitch lol
I can’t believe I’ve come all the way around to saying airing the footage was actually a good idea, but the only person who looked bad was Tony and that’s honestly fine, everyone else involved just got more exciting
Does it though? Punk attacks him when he's adjusting his hair and its broken up like instantly. Like it doesn't make Punk look bad but I feel like it's net neutral for Perry
I can only see this going well
I thought he wasn't going to be an on air character?
Did anyone really think Tony of all people would ever be able to hold himself to that
I would bet a very large sum of money on the idea that if not for TK being directly involved in the storyline outside of Kayfabe in every single capacity - that he would not be in the story in the ring whatsoever. Also he's booked matched on Dynamite live and in person. He also was an on screen character when Max and Cole knocked on this door. Acting like this is now some big deal is hilarious to me and a weak attempt at a "gotcha!"
He has been on tv a few times. I'm sure this is a one off.
Being on TV and being an on TV character are two different things. He's making himself a character here.
TK is must-see cringe TV
This is why I wanna tune in his segments are always The Room level of good
Coke dealers in Jacksonville putting in overtime before this segment
The Pizza Index for AEW
Bucks superkick Tony, Okada rainmakers him, and the new Elite stands tall in the ring to end the show over the body of a coked out millionaire. Calling it.
Pretty darn close prediction
The pop would be atomic
How atomic can an empty arena be?
Atoms are pretty small
They're in Daily's, right? Which means they have a decently full house.
Nope only sold about 2000 and needed seat fillers
But that coked out millionaire has a NFL Draft to run tomorrow
If he's gonna be an on air character, I'm hoping for a Benson from Regular Show type character, *"Go out there and give the fans a great match, OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!"*.
Jack Perry, you rapscallion, I will never EVER let you wrestle in an AEW ring again.
I… I love AEW but this concerns me a little. But part of me would love to see Impact Tony again.
Ha! This. I'm a big TNA fan and I loved Tony on TNA. I know people thought those segments were crapping on Impact, but I really really enjoyed them.
The role of Tony Khan will be played by Patrick Stewart... Right? ...Right???

....i mean tbf, that was 3 years ago.
....I mean tbf he said ever.
Card subject to change pal
There is no way this goes anyway other than horribly.
Oh lord no
Hopefully it is like the one Cena promo where he got accused of yapping & never letting other ppl shine… while everytime he went to talk, he kept getting cut off 😂
Was it cut or is it after the main event?
The birth of Mr Mckhan
A lotta charisma in that ring
... while surrounded by cameras lensed with *real glass!*
this sounds both silly and interesting.
Just when I was enjoying the show, AEW is going to ruin the vibe with this.
Not even “nine todays from tonight!!” It’s happening tonight!! 🤦♂️ Edit: crap, just realized I came late to the party and stole other posts. “My bad” - R Truth
Is JB going to be the next stone cold?
This kid being made a martyr is going to polarize him his entire career.
