I tried to listen to clips. Holy fuck it’s unlistenable. Renee is basically playing AEW cheerleader and Mox sounds like he’s a total mark. I think he is trying to do an “AEW has so much great wrestling, but why do fans not talk about that?” thing to try and remind people that there’s supposed to be this cult of not questioning anything they do.

He seems to want to paint The Elite as great trend-setters who made AEW possible. It was Tony’s money, guys. Hate to break it to you, but PWG ain’t getting off the ground without $100 million (maybe more) sunk into it.

Buy the line, guys.

Oh, and according to Mox there are a bunch of people who hate The Young Bucks because they hate themselves. It can’t simply be because they’re the drizzling shits?

“Love. This. Company. By the way, they made me World Champion while I had no contract. Also, there’s more drama here than anywhere else I worked. And I worked with CM Punk for years. So we’re blaming it all on him, even though it’s the guys I’m about to champion so I can continue to do garbage wrestling for millions of dollars.”

“How was that, Tony?”

I am absolutely loving the spin AEW fanboys are putting on it. “Of course people take the thing he said that makes the company look stupid and ignore the rest.” Yeah, because it made the company look so stupid. Stop doing that if you don’t want it to look stupid.

They’re asking why people aren’t posting the full quotes. It goes from “Tony put the World Title on me when I wasn’t under contract” to “Tony put the World Title on me when I wasn’t under contract…oh, and uh, The Young Bucks are great.”

LolAEW

Gotta say. Noid really hitting the nail on the head here.

Thanks man. Sorry about the stream of consciousness again — I just love this shit, lol.

Having inside sources at TPWW makes that little exchange so much more hilarious than it otherwise would be.

Mox spends a significant amount of the podcast putting over a ton of different people at AEW and talking about how much he's enjoying things. In general just seems like he'd like everyone to just sort their shit out because all stuff like this is distract people from the actual product.

But naturally this will all be lost to the ether because the first 10 minutes provide plenty of "juicy" material for everyone to run with and cherry pick as they see fit.

Like...does Mox not understand how the news cycle works? This is literally how it always works and has for over a decade.

AEW, WWE, doesn't really matter - you don't have to be an expert social media manager to realize that negative stories get significantly more engagement. Doesn't matter what "side" you're on, negative shit whips people into a frenzy. Positive stories are boring.

Ditto for the news industry as a whole really, even beyond wrestling. Says a lot about the human psyche.

I like how he said Tony isn't his boss. Another Tiny Khan meltdown soon, it will be glorious.

Also, what makes Mox think he could have just walked into Summerslam? I am thinking Brock Lesnar would have told him to fuck right off :lol:

It’s part of the product. The environment that throws random Omega/Vikingo matches in main events is the same lack of polish that sees the World Title go on uncontracted talent. They’re not completely unrelated.

Oh, the meltdown is coming.

Mox seems a bit drunk on that podcast…

I’ve seen a few people say the same thing. I just assumed the guy is a fucking idiot/has brain trauma.

lol damn

Random AEW I had. I don’t think I would do this, but I was spitballing, it came to me, thought I’d share. It’s very Russo, but because it comes from me, I feel it makes a little more sense:

When they do the Four Pillars match, Darby Allin wins the AEW Title. Christian Cage fucks over Jungle Boy. Andrade fucks over Sammy. Sting fucks over MJF. They’re all in cahoots. Darby is their chosen guy. Everyone whinge and whines, he’s the self-appointed savior of AEW.

MJF is pissed. He and Sammy shouldn’t see eye-to-eye. Sammy can spin-off into Jericho, who hates him breaking out. MJF is left picking up the pieces. He brings back Miro, he begs Wardlow and he even teams with a reluctant Jungle Boy.

Darby, Sting, Christian and Andrade as top heels against MJF, Miro, Wardlow and Jungle Boy. Wardlow is TNT Champ. Hobbs kills QT after losing it, beats Goldberg in a special attraction, is a loose unit — sometimes clashing against old friend Ricky Starks, who can maybe-kinda-sorta sub in for Jungle Boy, but also out of necessity, because Christian, Darby, etc. fuck him up.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Noid is the only person on Earth who can make me thankful that we have Cocaine Tony on the book.

I would get that show back up to the halcyon days of 999k viewers.

Tanahashi vs. Garcia added to the card now too. Sweet.

NXT Battleground announced for May 28th, 2023! Tiny Khan will NOT stand for this shit!!!!!!! :rant::mad::rant::mad::rant::mad::rant::mad:

Tony better put his foot down.

Meh. TK just ran a PPV on a Friday against the go home show for Mania. Turnabout is fair play. Hope they constantly start running shows against each other so maybe we can get some kind of actual competition out of this. It'll never be the Monday Night Wars, but it could be something.

It definitely won’t be the Monday Night Wars, that’s for sure.

Oh no, he’s doing the thing again.


TONY, STOP HYPING YOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS!

If he isn't hiring a full time Booker, I don't care.

“It’s just a promoter promoting.”

No. It is possible to build up false expectations.

Announcing UK/international show?

Fight Forever gets a release date is my prediction.

He's going to announce they've signed the cinnamoji mascot

Apparently that Sol Ruca chick from NXT was in the mascot suit so wouldn’t be the worst plan.

But guys, they dont have scripted promos and they REALLY love Tiny!

Ha I was just coming here to post that. Made me chuckle. TK makes people do the WWE bad promos.

That line helped bury Saraya.

It really did, didn't it? I mean she went from everyone being hyped at her return to everyone despising her pretty damn fast.

Also something that's been bugging me is that The Outcasts and The BCC are pretty much the same faction doing the same story. GRRRR WE'RE THE REAL PROFESSIONALS (except Yuta but we're working on him!) FROM THAT OTHER COMPANY AND WE'RE BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU NOW FEEL OUR WRATH GRRRRRR. Why they aren't just one big faction doesn't make sense to me as such.

Lol that a bunch of ex wwe people made to cut wwe bad promos by the boss are now running the gimmick of "we're better than you because we we're from that place that we said is worse than here".
