He also talked about wanting to work with Conor McGregor….between that, the Dana worship, and his nutso tweets it hasn't exactly been a banner day for Tony.

Plus Tony has more power than WCW when Kellner happened
Oh god even that thumbnail is horrific. What did I do to myself
So will NJPW World air Dynamite and Rampage live? Cause if so I may just sub to that instead of AEW+ on Fite

I swear I've heard this at least four times already.
- TK's friend leaves TNT = "AEW might get cancelled"
- Various shake ups at Warner = "AEW might get cancelled"
- Discovery buying Warner = "AEW might get cancelled"
- New person heading TBS = "AEW might get cancelled"
It's becoming old at this point. Warner execs are happy with the success of AEW. Don't think anything is going to happen, maybe a few less shits said. AEW can always try for a new network too.
WCW was owned by Time Warner. AEW is owned by the Khan family. If AEW leaves the Turner network, they can try to get Dynamite on another channel. Don't think anything will happen though. TK talks with the execs pretty often. He'll likely know well in advance if AEW needs to move.
If you can put up with Cornette there's a YouTube playlist of the Midnight Express. Not sure if they're legal or not so I won't link them, but it's not hard to find. Otherwise these are 2 matches of the many great ones they've had over the years. I actually saw the Clash of the Champions match fairly recently and it still holds up.
Midnight Express vs. The Fantastics - Clash of Champions 1
Midnight Express vs. Rock 'n' Roll Express - WrestleWar 1990
I honestly don't think this is mainly down to some incel jealousy etc.
Couples just work better as heels. Having a tag team is one thing but when you are actually putting focus on the fact they are a couple it just ends up feeling smug and like it's rubbing it in your face which goes better with heels.
The only time you can really do a face team is if you have them as an odd couple and then that just feels shallow and objectifying.
Yessss! Thank you very much. That's what I'm gonna do while I wait for Rampage
I have another theory regarding Sammy's problems at the minute and it might not be popular…
He's missing the inner circle.
Jericho was the one who identified that Sammy was a better heel than a face: "he looks like an asshole!". Before the IC Sammy was very much Kip, very talented but a bit goofy (he wore a panda hat ffs). The IC made him cool and improved his look and overall gimmick, now he's 'graduated' and gone back on his own he's gone back to a face with issues getting over, and I don't think that's completely on TK. He books the show but the talent has a lot of creative input into whatever angles they're in.

This isn't remotely bloodier than Punk's blade job prior to the last PPV.

What stigma does wrestling have in 2022? That it makes a ton of money?
On screen face couples that actually worked in wrestling:
Macho Man and Ms. Elizabeth
Matt Hardy and Lita
I'm kind of struggling to think of more
Exactly.
You can easily list off more memorable heel couples that worked.
Doesn't help when Sammy and Tay are making jokes about Cumming on the title....
Sammy's problem is that he sucks as a face, and comes across as generally unlikeable.
Thanks for the reminder. Was meaning to share this Young Bucks promo a few days back, but just forgot about it.
Some solid matches throughout the card as well.
I also think proposing to your high school sweetheart at a show in a memorable moment that made news, before leaving her, and going out with another talent months later, was always going to be something a lot of people responded badly too.
I'm not judging anyone involved in that to be clear. It's just something that's going to come over badly for a lot of people. I know people who think highly of any celebrity that stays with their hometown loved one after they get famous. If they hadn't done that angle in ring, or to a lesser degree if Pam hadn't been so well liked amongst viewers of Sammy's vlog, I don't think we'd be here.
There's not much that can be done about the public proposal now, of course, and I certainly don't want this new relationship to fall apart either. But that's definitely part of the challenge for them as an onscreen couple.

Yeah I'm sure that left a really bad taste in people's mouths who are fans of Sammy and especially his blog where she was featured. I don't judge cause shit happens and relationships don't always work out but, it being so soon after proposing and such was bad timing.
Thank you for this. WWE would be crucified now if they ever did a WM intro like that for this generation.
- It's too fake, who could believe this?
- It's too violent, who could watch this?
I heard that in the 1990s, but I've never heard that in real life in the past 10? years.
WWE made like a billon dollars last year, I have a very difficult time believe tv execs are thinking "it's too fake." lol.
Tony is gonna find 2 generic blonde women, name them The Stanford Wives, and have them squashed by Rosa and Shida.
The image that its viewers are of lower income level (and lower spending habits) and thus the effect on the rates that advertisers (and which advertisers in general) are willing to pay for slots on wrestling shows. Whether it has merit nowadays or not, I don't know but that has been the challenge for the last 20 years.
Wrestling as a phenomenon has for a very long time drawn big audiences, but never has been given its due (or the monetary compensation) compared to other types of programming, due to the presumption of its audience.
(And of course I'd imagine the only major company being run by Vince may have had an effect as well.)
That's why you had the Westminster Dog Show causing RAW to be pre-empted, even when they had 4-5 million viewers.
I'm just going to pretend the 'TUNE INTO RAMPAGE' stuff is a bit at this point.
Because it's fucking funny. I know it's not actually a bit.

Wait why are people questioning this? Do you really think the competition isn't doing shit like this on Social Media? F I also believe Tony does the same shit back. It's Social Media it's all a Cancer and has zero barometer of what is actually going on. People can't be that gullible to thing this isn't happening at every level lol
I fully believe it's happening. Some of those accounts are super easy to spot, thankfully.
Exactly. Heck it makes sense and I mean every single type of business. Why wouldn't you do it. You have nothing to lose. Why wouldn't Nike have people trash Adidas. It's just the world we live in now.
I don't know what's going on with Tony. As long as he doesn't pull a Bischoff, AEW is going to be good.
Look, I have no doubt there's shenanigans going on in respect of abuse of the Twitter algorithm and TK has every right to call it out for trying to damage his company. But man, the timing of this.
When you want people to be talking about Rampage (and what by all accounts may be a MOTY contender) people are now instead going to be talking about this stuff.
Could he not have held off for like, 2 days?!
