I know! I mean Chavo is an intrigral aspect to AEW and Tony should be answering those phone calls and mobile text messages because Chavo needed to talk! But Tony wasn't there for him to talk to! Tony didn't want to do it! Chavo was looking for a conversation abut the future with AEW and to say "hey Boss I'm ready to go to work tell me when and where?" but Tony wouldn't even pick up this phone to tell Chavo that he doesn't really give a shit about him and Chavo wasn't able to figure out that he brought nothing to the table in any appearance on AEW he ever did and he's sucks. But Chavo texted Tony and Tony didn't write him back!

fire a guy to his face. if he's off the road call him. dont ghost him like a 1 night stand. its cowardly.

AEW Double or Nothing becomes AEW’s first million dollar live gate within the first day of tickets being on sale. Cool!

I think the bigger issue was the owner of the company publicly saying "we fired her because she sucks". Unprofessional and unessecary, and makes him look like a clown out of his depth.

Vince never did anything of the sort, despite the fact that he had plenty of people over the years who were the drizzling shits.

On top of that, according to Swole, when she wasn't being used, she genuinely asked Tony if it was because her work wasn't good enough. He told her that her work was great and they just didn't have anything for her creatively.

That was a report from wrestlinginc.com that recapped what that idiot said, in which he completely contradicted himself 9 months later with his bullshit tweet.

The thing is that.. Swole SUCKS. Tony maybe just liked her weed and felt bad that he never paid match her for that smoke sesh, so he said she was "really good" in that interview. But he was totally lying, he was just being "nice", because he wasn't about to say "Well the thing with Swole is, while she sucks right now she does bring really good bud and I think that there is potential that she may turn into a decent performer but right now she's the shits".

Okay, fine, but her being woke doesn't excuse how Tony handled all this.

That is not some manufactured wokeness, that all happened publicly in the aftermath of him having his meltdown iver Swoke.

Woah! Did Tony forcing Lio to praise him appear on the YouTubes or something? Where can I see this? Sounds crazy!

He went from mad demanding an apology, to praising Tony and AEW all within the same 24 hour period, even though there was no public apology to Swole or anybody else. He was trying to keep his job, (he never appeared on AEW again and was fired 7 weeks later) along with being replaced with Jay Lethal within 2 weeks, it was clear none of what he said was voluntary.

"I look forward to working with Tony to keep making steps towards positive change...for 7 more weeks". He got another 7 weeks of pay for backtracking his justified outrage and praising Tony. The thing about Hush Money is you don't usually get the full story, but it is pretty clear what happened considering the aftermath.

Sorry, I don't have a video of Tony standing behind Lio physically forcing Lio to tweet, or a photo of the cashed check Lio got before being fired, so I stand corrected, it was mostly public, bully for you! Good thing nobody ever gets arrested for having a motive for an action or anything.

For a guy who rants about biased journalists treating speculation as facts to fit their narrative and whatnot, this is a bad look man.

1. I am not a paid journalist, nor am I pretending to be so I do not need to be unbiased. His treatment of his Black employees is something that pisses me off.
2. For Lio to go from wanting an apology to praising Tony, well a logical conclusion for his 180 is something changed after he spoke with Tony (it happened because Lio's tweet said he did, even without it being recorded for BTE).
3. Even if we are to believe Tony and Lio had a great heart to heart talk and all was good, that is not supported by the fact the guy never showed up in TV again, or that he was replaced by Jay Lethal, or that he was let go.
4. I conceded you were right, the actual conversation Lio had was not public, but everything else was. You nitpicking that one specific point however does not change anything. The guy was kept off TV. The guy was "Let Go". That shit happened.

Absolutely. You’re free to treat speculation as fact if it fits your “Tony bad/AEW bad” bias and call it bullshit if it doesn’t without having to worry about journalistic integrity. Fair point.
