Tony Khan Twitter Thread

[Canadian Dragon]

Since it's been heavy the last few days, perhaps easier to keep track of it all here. I can add old tweets to the OP if ppl want. I cam e to post the latest as it's somewhat worthy of discussion as Tony kind of explains why he takes stuff personally (I am not agreeing or disagreeing with him, just reporting)

This is not how an owner conducts himself in public.

Again…someone take his phone

my brother in Christ, this platform is owned by Elon Musk who acts much worse. Let's maybe all get off our high horses.

I am not even agreeing with his reasoning here but I can understand where he is coming from. Why is this your reaction over THESE tweets? these are way tamer than the last two days. Also are you just not interesting in discussing what he is upset about? Because it seems pretty understandable to me. Humans have feelings, gasp!

 

[Canadian Dragon]

but yeah, hate to make the comparison, but Donald Trump was your god damned president. Let's not pretend owners and CEOs and world leaders don't act this way, because they do in 2023.

On topic - I can certainly understand why that upset him, if my mom was dying and at the same time my employees were being poached nefariously by a rival company, it would be hard for me not to be upset about it and take it personal. Would I hold on to that for a year? probably not, but it's really up to me to decide how ppl feel

My brother in Christ…this is a wrestling forum. So yes, there are a shit ton of people that act worse in this world. But that’s not what we’re discussing.

But specifically, when we’re speaking about wrestling, just shut up, book the shows and keep it moving.

Why does he need to be the forefront? Or the face of AEW?

I get his anger. But why haven't we gotten any proof? And attempting at all that poaching and not a single person left? I don't think it's beyond WWE to try it. Not even saying they didn't straight up do it. I wonder what the results were? The reprecussions?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I can't really answer the why other than it created engagement. Which it does, negative or not. TK seems to want to self promote so that's how he is. You still didn't really discuss the OP but that's ok, if him tweeting at all bothers you, I guess thats where the discussion will end

Well Regal did

I mean Vince? He owns it, it's his perogative. I don't think it's ideal for AEW, but nobody's going to stop him.

Andrade also def wanted out and tried to make it happen lol

What proof do you want exactly? Screenshots? Recording of the conversations with talent? And how do you know there wasn't repurcussions ( like certain talent mysteriously being off tv for a while)?

 

[John McHenry]

That's fair but as a direct result? I mean there was a lot going on at that time so can we say he was poached or was it his buddy was put in charge and he asked to go back?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

on top of all that, why would TK lie about this and still be upset?

 

[Chris]

Oh that's fair a lot could have been it. I think the leaks of people trying to be poached came from the actual talent tho, who would have said no, but that's obviously not provable
