I legitimately had no idea they renamed it to the TK Driver until I saw people online correcting Pat McAfee when he called it the Meltzer Driver.

Yeah I think they even renamed it specifically bc the spot was already planned so I hate they didn't get the new name over more. They could have just really ham fisted it in as heels, the more annoying the better (like Jericho with learning tree I'll sadly admit). Granted I really didn't think "Meltzer Driver" was as known as it was to matter either lol but this would be even funnier if people would be like "they hit him with the move named after him"

It's fucking wild that people are more bothered by the fact Tony called out the abuse than they are about WWE being sued in the lawsuit. Nothing he said was a lie. Now should have said it? Probs not but if that's worse thing an owner does? I don't fucking care. There is real problems in the world and WWE should be called out.

 

[R-Troop]

To me the problem is that WWE is NOT the Harvey Weinstein of wrestling. VINCE MCMAHON can be called that. Big difference. And it was nothing but an unprovoked shot at the company.

 

[Comrade Khan]

wwe is named in the lawsuit n had 30+ years of abuse. Cope

 

[R-Troop]

Nah dawg fuck that shit. This was stupid. "Cope" is such bullshit. Vince was always the issue in WWE with regards to ALLEGATIONS. To say it was company wide is bullshit.

But this instance what he said was stupid and did nothing but hurt AEW.

AEW was getting FREE PUBLICITY during the NFLs biggest off-season event. And all anyone is talking about is WWE again.

And the line made no sense. AEW is Pepsi WWE is Harvey Weinstein. What the fuck is that comparison? AEW is Pepsi WWE is COKE. That makes sense. All he was doing is trying to get idiots to go "haha he made fun of WWE again Tony is a genius" when all he did was take all the spotlight off his own company and onto the bigger more successful company.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Replacing Vince doesn't erase history. I'm for one have no issue with Tony reminding people while promoting his company. Some people will dislike it and find it distasteful because they want to be austriches. If that's the case ulthey ignore Tony like they ignored the issues plaguing their favorite promotions for decades while still giving them money


Regarding Tony it's nothing plenty of us have said and posted. People just mad he's saying it out loud instead of hiding behind an anonymous username on the internet. One might say he's turned his irl persona to an 11. Gonna be fun seeing ppl mad about it more so than the actual abuse that took place

You sound pretty pressed lol

It didn't hurt aew lol there's 0 proof that it hurt them like every other time ppl like you screeched about words that hurt your feelings because it reminded you ur fave promotion was an abusive hellhole.

Why would tk say they are Coke n give a compliment. Hunter wants to talk his shit, this is what you get.

Stay mad

 

[Comrade Khan]

N he promoted aew for 3 minutes, it was one line. Please though continue to pretend this will hurt aew business

 

[Comrade Khan]

Just like showing the footage was bad until it wasn't

When did Hunter talk shit? He didn't. All he said was that he didn't want people who couldn't handle the grind of the WWE schedule. That's not knocking people. That's simple logic.

And yes when you are calling yourself a challenger brand like Pepsi the only way to make the comparison make sense is to say the other company is the name brand Coke. That's how comparisons work. I guess they don't teach that shit by you?

All he should have done is what he should always do. Make everything about AEW not about WWE. I don't get why that's difficult to understand.

Say "we are a challenger brand like Pepsi the other company is Coke." It's all about your company and now people aren't talking about WWE they're talking about AEW.

No it was still bad. The only person who got over during that was CM Punk. He made chicken shit then tried to turn it into Chicken Salad.
