Edge really came in and cut damn near the same promo that Punk did when he came back!🤣
I generally couldn’t care less about these media things but watching the clip of Christian just rinsing Alvarez is just too funny
COPE-land is such a perfect name for AEW😂
Lol
Shoot interviews immediately after major events are such a bad thing.
Ruins the whole purpose of wrestling
The scrums are probably the most Tony has ever had attention in his life.
Are you jealous?
@@RobertAbseitshardly. 😂
It would be personally embarrassing to know most are in the room because I’m paying them to be and the others are so insignificantly sycophantic that talking to me validates their existence.
I like relationships of substance in my life, pal.
Not theatrics on daddy’s dime.
Vince also took everything from his daddy
@@RobertAbseitsI certainly hope you’re reaching a point…
@@RobertAbseits Vince Jr. turned a regional promotion into a worldwide empire.
I was never really the biggest Edge fan(I preferred Christian) but at almost 50 with a bad neck…whats the real gain of this truly gonna be? Just like Sting,you’re paying this guy more than he commanded in his prime and not getting nearly the return on it.
Why is edge fighting a guy who thinks he's a dinosaur? And why does everyone pretend he's a dinosaur?
Shhh AEW is the true alternative to a corporation run a billionaire. And shhhhh
Also Botchasaurus not exactly the safest worker to put Edge against 😂
Hate to be that guy but I bet you thought undertaker was actually dead 😂. Point being, wrestling has always had outlandish gimmicks
@@juicerichardson9067 yeah but his sucks. Nobody over the age of 8 believed in any of them. Why a man that can't wrestle for shit is pretending to be a dinosaur is just odd.
@@juicerichardson9067 Sure sure, but the Gobbledeegooker was booed out of the building. What's so differant from acting like a turky huh?
I feel like Tony Kahn is the one thing Corny, Russo and Bischoff could all get along over and laugh about
in a more loving and utopic world, yes 😅
They could laugh at you 2
@@user-he5wz1eq5fLet's all laugh. Laughter brings joy to the world. 😂😅
and Bruce Prichard and Paul Heyman as well. The real 5 pillars!
Just wait until the Bucks and Omega get jealous of Edge getting more attention...
I didn't even know Wrestledream thing was a thing till it was over
Jim makes a good point about how silly these post ppv press conferences are, at least WWE keeps theirs short.
Not really. It's kinda like how in sports they have post game press conferences and interviews.
If they kept them strictly in kayfabe, I'd actually enjoy them quite a bit
Especially the MJF and Christian parts 😂
Both companies are just playing house with a room full of "journalists". They're more of an improv skit than an actual press scrum
@mrnicemam8523 and if they, the talent stayed in character like Christian did, it would be OK instead of treating them like it's the fucking Actors Studio
AEW is now just a higher budget Impact
Yeah and worse.
Edge said it best during the scrum "this is amazing... what are we doing? this is awesome" and "again, back to that word, free". yes, they're using a money mark's wallet to do crazy shit and it's a playground for them!
cry about it jealous p*ssyyy
Its great, this show is great, we're on a great run, best set of shows in history, we've never been better, etc. It is so sad, that Tony Khan has no idea about how much he is getting played by so much of his roster. He is setting these guys up for life after they retire. And at this point, I dont blame them, go get your money.
It’s weird such a fan can’t tell he’s being carnied by his entire locker room (more proof he’s just looking for friends, and will pay for it).
He’s the purest definition of a money mark, and they’ll milk him dry, and he’s happy to be milked because they call him “boss” while they do it.
@@joshuaDstarks 1000%. Guys like Jericho, Christian, The Bucks and Omega, Jim Ross, now Edge as well, these guys won't have to lift a finger when they eventually retire, cause Tony is paying them millions willingly to do whatever they want. All just telling him what he wants to hear, cause he's an easily manipulatable money mark like you said.
'Doing such a great job boss, Booker of the year is yours for sure, AEW is on fire boss, etc.' He eats it up blindly.
@@joshuaDstarkswhen they call him boss, they're snickering all the way to the bank.
He has to know but I agree completely with you
What a great comment right there, just great insight and your spelling was great, really great things you said, best great comments on the market today, just so great.
I fast forwarded through mostly all of this except Jim & Brian’s responses. Watching HHH do these and how professional he is,its almost like he’s trying to come off as a Sports Promoter and not a fan.
Christian Cage is BY FAR the best heel in the business. I am seriously glad that some talents are keeping kayfabe.
Cage is the new MJF
AEW is nothing but a WWE nostalgia shop now. Tony is going to be surprised when more and more of his young talents leave the company.
Remember when they said that they would push young and upcoming stars, instead of going the TNA route?
I member 🍇
I would say TNA 2.0 but TNA at one point was actually decent competition for WWE. AEW has never come close.
It shows how biased Dave and Bryan are when they defend AEW doing the same stuff they used to mock TNA for 😂
Made all the same mistakes as wcw and tna and they promised they wouldnt..this I why I stopped watching years ago ..same old bad shit.
I remember the marks saying AEW was gonna utilize Rusev and Cesaro well. Where tf are those 2 now?
Where are these young talents going to go?? I can count the ones that have a lick of potential on one hand..
14:58 i did NOT expect Corny to pull out a Linkin Park reference lmao
I love the UUUUUGGGHHHH of genuine terror at the "I never been in the Ring with Mox"
The Linkin Park reference was awesome
Christian wasting Alvarez was top drawer
They're working Edge like crazy out the gate; we're gonna get used to him quick at this pace which might dilute his impact, if he doesn't get seriously injured like all the big names that come to AEW seem to.
Meh AEW where talent goes to die. So much like WCW over paying for WWE discarded talent.
No, if they were like WCW they'd be drawing money with WWE discarded talent.
Repeating all the negative parts of TNA and WCW without any of the success 😂
It’s impressive how poorly Tony has done
I feel what is happening in AEW is the same thing that has happened in TNA when it first started more so when it became popular amongst wrestling fans. how wrestlers from ROH and the indies were thrown aside for wrestlers who are some what past their prime and well known get treated better than those who are trying to make a name for themselves.
I think it's a little worse. Those guys that were a little past their prime in 2008 are now in AEW.
AEW wishes it was as good as prime TNA.
I hope Jim sees Jey Uso and Cody's press conference after Fastlane. They were both drunk, funny as shit. Cody is asked by a reporter how he's doing and did Brody King's bark at the reporter 😂
Jey asks a reporter like 3 times "you feel me?" Then Cody jumps in "do you feel him, sir?" Fuckin hilarious
Watching that was the first time I realized how close some of these guys probably are backstage. I got the genuine feeling that Cody and the Usos and likely Reigns are all on friendly terms. They definitely seemed like legit work friends who respect each other. I laughed so hard at so much of that.
I hope Jeys not the one with the drunk driving problems
WWE press conferences are always short and sweet. Triple H is the one who talks the longest and that's usually about 20 minutes. Tony goes on for HOURS. 😂 He really loves the attention.
Cut Hunter some slack. Years of cutting 20-minute promos in the ring on Raw is a hard habit to break.
Gotta say I don't get Mr Copeland's choice. I know he got cleared for WWE, but it didn't ever sound like his neck was in the condition where a lot of bumps would be wise or advised. Seemed like that was part of the reasoning behind his limited schedule.
I mean let's be real, AEW forced the adults out and it's kids and walking midlife crisis guys and not much else. Kind of what it was at its outset to be honest which is basically the "days without injuries 0" meme but as a promotion. I don't know if anyone's averaged it out, but it's gotta be one a show or more, my guess is around three.
Alvarez now praises the very things he used to throw tantrums about.
According to recent ticket sales, Edge is a no-draw lol but Edge is milking Tony for that money 😂
Jim allways has something to say.He should be mention more when people talk podcasts,i think Cornette is one of the best broadcasters right now.
The tuesday night is going to be interesting. Cena, Cody, Heyman, and possibly the undertaker on the same show! The only way aew beat nxt at this moment, is have Toni Storm do a uncensored strip show. Adam Copeland sure not going move the needle.
😂 Or Rob Van Dam either... where ever he is...
Edge came back to a half empty arena on Dynamite and Rampidge and lost thousands of viewers. Even Uncle Dave thinks they're ice cold. Hopefully Shad pulls the life support soon
Someone please take when Jim recites the lyrics to One Step Closer at 14:58 and make it into a song
I’m surprised more people didn’t catch that. Rip Chester
@@chaka1061 he was one of a kind. And no I’m not talking about RVD.
If the Dynamite rating for this week is 875K or in the vicinity…what will the excuse be? Last week it was “DVR sabotage” but AEW fans are a cult who knows when the show will be on so thats BS to me. TH-cam views are up but whats that do for TBS
Kahn has ZERO bass in his voice to be a wrestling promoter
That Christian Q&A was insanely good...
Money always speaks the loudest.
Tony's vocabulary really isn't that deep, huh? 😂😂 "I'm great. Your great. Everything is great, great, great!!" 😂😂
1:19:16: Of course Tony, many thick lines of that great white stuff.
I love that Edge was looking for cool places to shoot his trailer and Darby takes him to gum alley like a tourist, and we don't even see the fucking namesake walls covered in wads of chewed up gum.
Jim deserves more recognition for his "Last Resort" joke. Absolutely gangster.
The way Brian says "yeah you do" in that Moxley voice never ceases to make me laugh everytime 😂😂
I could have swore TK called him Adam Cokeland 😂
I still won't be surprised if someday, there's a drinking game that goes viral with people listening to the media scrums of Tony Klown and taking a drink every time he says "great" lol credit to Jim Cornette if it happens for pointing it out
Why 2 hours on AEW press conference and not a review of Smackdown
Jim is still the goat
Even Cornette considered Omega as top stars in AEW instead of Moxley, Y2J
I Wana hear jim review toni storm vs sky blue so bad
29:08 There is no such thing as a "smart mark"
Dug that Linkin Park reference.
6:17 "They've got another star, now. They've got another name" No they dont. Have you seen the ratings or attendance photos? Oof
Did Copeland just copy Punks into speech? 😮
"Same old shit, same old shit"..thats aew
How long before we hear Edge….. sorry! Adam say “I’m old, I’m hurt, I’m tired and I work with f**king children!”?
42:25 ad read over
Tony’s scrumming again😂
Edge: i was in Seattle so i needed a muscle car.
Huh? Where's the correlation, dude?
"Thanks guys"
I can’t listen to all that out of embarrassment. I’ve heard enough of the guy who was Edge already, doing the most AEW promos ever, lavishing sycophantic praise on all their terrible wrestlers and their small demented fan base, and looking forward to performing his ART, and being FRIENDS with everyone. Christ….
He will say anything Tony wants for all that dollar he’s getting
Tony Khan is sooo clueless..how is Jades last match a classy send off??? Tf man.
Tony thinks Edge is going to replace Punk in regards to tickets and ppv buys. No disrespect to Edge, but AEW is still in LaLa Land
Edge should just be called the “Overrated Superstar” since that’s all he is.
How is he overrated if he barely shows up on raw or smackdown since he returned in rr 2022. 🤭
That‘s just a stupid comment Edge is in no way shape of Form Overrated
Something about AEW really brings the mark out in people. Edge comes off like such a dweeb in this 😂
Hell I'd mark out like that for millions of $ too
“Sloppy kayfabin’.”
If I had to listen to these AEW media scrums, I'd probably fall asleep but hearing Jim and Brian play clips and their comments is pretty entertaining :)
Brian: "F**k the Germans"
Jim: "What the Germans ever do to you"
Brian: " I'm Jewish"
Jim: "Well, I guess that's something"😂😂
Ah yes, Gum Alley right before Diagon alley
Seriously though, and I know that a lot of you will not agree, but in my own opinion, I think he just flashed his career down the drain
"Did he just say diarrhoea?" 😂
Love Jim and Brian!!
I had to fast forward through these scrum reviews. Goddamn I hate these media scrums, and I can’t stand to hear Tony Khan’s voice.
Looks cozy Jim 😂
Edge is old past his prime. This is tna all over again.
he can still have great matches tho!
Never thought I would hear an Alexandria Bay, NY refrence.
Does anyone know if hes done anything to copyright, "The Cope?"
scrum-trilescent clip drop, to semi quote SNL
He's one step closer to the edge and he's about to break. Was that a Linkin Park reference from Cornette?
He could have just ubered the food up to his room...that at least isolates the contact and he could have had instructions to leave it at the door and just knock. I thought Edge would know better with technology and his age.
Does Brian think that these media scrums should be a 100% out of character shoot? Its almost as if he is criticizing the fact that Christian isn't breaking....
Just because nobody else in that company knows how to work a press conference doesn't mean they shouldn't work it.
Brian is really coming off as if he doesn't understand pro-wrestling in this whole thing.. honestly.. he sounds just like the rest of the marks who are sitting in the scrum audience....
Exactly. Christian is smart enough to know to not expose his business even if everyone else wants to announce to the world what they did an hour earlier is all fake and phoney. I appreciate the old school pro in Christian.
@@Robby_CBrian Last IS every professional or amateur obsessive mark.
@@TakeNoteOfThat fair enough 🤣
Christian did a great job if that's the only time you've ever heard Christian talk.
But Brian does have a point that his 'I don't want to be here' dickish attitude feels a bit off from someone who's known to be a flamboyant, smiley goof of a heel. It makes it feel like acting even if it's less acting than what he used to do because it feels like a different person talking.
Edge went from doing story telling wrestling matches to having to do matches similar to his wrestle mania match against foley ever night and yup didn't last too long
The Media Scrum was just... Great!
Why Didn't they play Swerves conference?
Are we going to just glance over the fact that Jim quoted linkin park
If Quentin Tarantino ran this company it would be All Feet Wrestling.
And sponsored by Red Apple cigarettes.
Edge always seems really dramatic in a phony way when he talks like that
I really wish they would stop calling it pro wrestling and call it sports entertainment!!!!!!!!
What Edge was really trying to say was CHA-CHING!!!!!😂😂😂
That's it. I'm sending Tony Khan a friggin' thesaurus. He'll probably think it's great.
That Linkin Park quote killed me lmao
15:02 lol
Christian's right about the champion not targeting people. Not until all the credible challengers are beaten anyway. For an irritating heel, that wasn't a bad way of putting the roster over.
It bears repeating that Tony Khan should NOT be handling talent relations. Keep in mind that he's probably lying to make himself sound better, like he lied about Dynamite's presentation, about the Wembley Stadium numbers, and that he probably bungled his negotiations with Cargill far worse than he admitted to! I wonder if she signed a non disclosure agreement.
Edge never wrestled a dinosaur before.
MJF and Cole did have some appeal to me. I wasn't real jazzed about it, but it was popular apparently. Now unfortunately Cole is hurt. Puleeeze let your champ be the champ 🤞
I'll be honest right now and say I've never been that much of an Edge fan, but I wasn't all that much of a CM Punk fan either and he pleasantly surprised me with his AEW work, for the most part. I imagine Edge can do well too. I was a pretty big Chris Jericho fan though and that's been mostly disappointment, so I'm not getting too hopeful.
The post event scrums became big with UFC. These wrestling scrums are basically rip offs of those. Don't know who ripped off UFC first, WWE or AEW.
You don't have to go back thirty years to hear someone who wasn't the world champion talk like their belt was the big belt. Jay Lethal as television champion, the only champion that matters, that was less than ten years ago, hell, you don't even have to go back a full year to hear Samoa Joe proclaiming himself "king of television". Matter of fact, Joe still is, it just rings hollow now because the booking undercut him.
MJF is a Superstar! Remember when he was 2nd fiddle to Cody as Cody's best friend. Now he outshines Cody at every step. Adam Cole is also great, but he is everyone's Grandpa who falls & constantly breaks his hip & has to recover just enough to fall again.
I love this art lol
More like Entitled Tuesday.
"Hey you're going to see edge three times in a row within a week, cause our company is as repetitive as wwe"..what a joke aew is.
And all the Edge marks making excuses, "give it time, he just debuted. Edge will draw. You'll see" while Tony is already making Copeland less special by showcasing him like every other guy on the roster instead of as a special attraction.
@@chico1680"same old shit, same old shit"
14:55 did I just hear Cornette do a Linkin Park reference?
The thing Jade Cargill wanted was more trustworthy leadership, lmao
It's funny how I've yet to hear about an Adam Copeland debut.
His new name should be: Periphery.
