“And, you know, people who think like…whatever, you know people who think like Tony Khan like…whatever” - Dave Meltzer 2023
Bryan's face when Meltz cut him off and just continued droning on 😂

Good. An important line in the press release was from (I think) Matt Jackson, who basically said "Mania moments are cool, having time to see the life moments with my wife and kids are better". Some people aren't marks for "Mania moments", and their careers aren't any less impressive without having worked a Mania. If anything, they've proven you can succeed without ever stepping foot in WWE. That's more impressive.
WWE never wanted the Hardly Boys anyway so...........
@@PowerNGlory except your daddy HHH wanted the elite back in 2019 before AEW existed
@@darkace9194 shhh dont use facts with these people you will shatter there little minds.
Imagine saying these guys aren't Marks
Their careers are definitely less impressive without working with WWE. WWE is the benchmark, the standard bearer. Regardless, I think it's hilarious how he low key buried AEW. "Yeah, I'd honestly rather be in WWE, but they'll keep me on the road too often and you'll give me more time off so I have to stick with you." That's basically what he said.
nobody should surprised The Elite didn't leave AEW.
The WWE schedule is so brutal if you compare salaries based on schedules the AEW guys get paid so much more than everyone in WWE other than Roman
@@blablablaa14 brutal 🤣🤣
I was kinda hoping they would quit AEW and entertain Dave full-time inside his home.
Was this ever a question?
Not at all
Apparently the contracts needed to be notarized with Meltzer’s splooge.
If anyone tries to tell me they were "surprised" by this news, I'm going to assume you are either a child, lying, or actually that gullible. Like come on guys, goddamn lmao
This didn’t surprise me at all. it would’ve been insane if they did go to WWE
Another ultimate proof that the Elite / CM Punk was a work and we will see more from it.
I think that The Elite has no value outside of AEW. Heck their value in AEW is pretty limited anyway. In the months they were off TV after the All Out brawl, the ratings stayed the same
I feel like the schedule talk was subtle advertising to anyone who's got a contract coming up in WWE. "Hey, we get paid, and we get more time with our families too! A no-brainer!"
Dave sounds like there's everything in the world stuck in his mouth
4:34
Dave slipped back in time calling it WWF like that lol
The TV schedule on ITV is terrible. The people I know who watch AEW will either watch it live online or the next morning rather than wait for the ITV broadcast, or just wait for AEW to put clips on TH-cam, which they tend to do the next day. It's the more casual viewers who either aren't tech savvy or aren't bothered about keeping up with the latest events who will wait for the broadcast. I do wonder if Sky might make a bid the next time the rights come up to counter TNT (formerly BT).
I figured that the schedule might make a difference. Even cutting back like thru have recently, you work A LOT more dates in WWE.
Dave needs to read from cue cards.
Yep the opposite of Tony
Nowadays AEW is the primary Professional Wrestling promotion, as to my knowledge WWE even refuses to use the word Professional Wrestling.
I give this segment 1.25 stars, Dave you're losing your luster.
The Dude is in his 70s
He's 63 and he lost his luster a while ago.
I gave it 1.5 stars, but that is really the same thing.
@@Daint_McTaint yeah, shit is shit no matter what you rate it.
I will always have respect for Meltz unlike some other clowns out there but it is seriously difficult to sit through him speaking and not saying anything
Why are people clowns for not brown nosing an opinion piece writer? Why do you take so much offense?
7-figures for 5-days a month? Creative control as well, brother?
@coldsnap5742 they are still EVPs
Ive been experimenting with side to side crumple wiping and its honestly been a mess.
Them going to WWE would be insane. Because what are they going to do, the bloodline has no inch room for anyone. The most they could do is join Cody vs Brock, a waste of time. Fight K.o. and Zayn, well K.o. is hurt. They had no room honestly.
Schedule, money, positions of authority, some creative freedom, and seeing how much WWE has jerked Cody around.
They should’ve left. Tony is an awful booker and they’ve done all they can do in AEW
Now the obvious thing is for THE ELITE to get over the CM PUNK stuff. Considering they're all going to be there for multiple years. Time for everyone to put on big boy pants
Dave's slow burn heel on AEW is perf
Oh, thank God. So happy for them.
If they don't do something with Punk and FTR now they're crazy. Tony should have made that part of the deal
Good. They don't deserve the fame of WWE.
AEW has been here four years. Although I don't like some of the ways they portrait wrestling, Tony and his staff have done a very good job 👍 There is nothing wrong, at this juncture in their history, of being number two. WWE has been here since '63!! It's like being a start-up soda company going against Coca-Cola. Keep an eye on WWE, but do you. Be the best you can be and do your own thing. Obviously it would be ridiculous not to look at their blueprint. The infrastructure WWE has is phenomenal. Whether you like them or not, it is. It's also been around for sixty fucking years man. Get some smart people in the proper places. People you can trust. Tony, you don't have to run the concession stand. Delagate wisely 👍
Homa goodness. Wrassling is fake. It's theater. It's a LIVE PERFORMANCE, like a traveling circus. Dub dub e is no different from aew. It's just perception. One company is making more money. Aew is still a START UP. They grew a lot. Tony is still learning how to run a circus show and three other REAL PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FRANCHISE.
You don't like some of the ways AEW portrays wrestling? It's called variety. Pro wrestling comes in many different ways. Tired of people crying like pro wrestling has to be one way and one way only. People like that live in a bubble and need to learn more about pro wrestling and its many forms.
@@christophermarriott1681 You nailed it. Folks here have such a narrow perspective on professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is an art form, a medium of storytelling; just like movies, tv, books, plays etc.. There are various genres and different cultural expressions across the globe spanning over a century.
Just because someone doesn't like comedy movies doesn't mean comedies are bad, it means it isn't to their personal taste. People need to be cured of their Main Character Syndrome and learn not everything is this world is meant to cater to their tastes.
I typed, I don't like some of the ways it's portrayed. It's called an opinion. Get it?
@@christophermarriott1681It's not a variety show, it's a wrestling show. Everything should make sense and there should be a standard set. It's not about the "variety" it's about the lack of consistency in quality.
Glad they didn’t sell out
I bet Dave creamed his shorts when he saw the most 5 star match having group of all time 🤮 resign with his boss Tony Khan.
I want to see Nakamura, AJ & Finn in AEW
Not happeninh😢
In other news: the sky is blue, grass is green, and water is wet
I've never heard a guy say so much and so little at the same time
TK needs to stop replying to anything WWE says about them. I'm a WWE lifer, but I'm happy to see AEW doing great. HHH knows how to get under TK skin and get him to respond. AEW's work speaks for itself.
Tony Khan fires back to stick it to Triple H and remind him that Triple H is just butthurt cause Triple H will never be on Tony Khan's level to ever run a wrestling company. Instead, Triple H has to settle as Vince's scapegoat for Vince's failures.
@@christophermarriott1681Triple H will always be levels above Tony Khan. Being the son of a billionaire who is playing SvR GM mode but on national television isn't a bragging right.
Just sad we are never gonna see the AJ/Omega match
Put this under not remotely shocking. They can get overpaid, not draw, and have political sway in AEW. In WWE there just another group.
Oh my God, can Meltzer say a full complete sentence!!!!
lol i was thinking about the same exact thing 😂😂
Dave: uhm, uhm, you know, uhm, uhm, uhm, you know, uhmmmmmmm.
I have an idea for a Moxley heel turn- what if he quits bleeding, but gets into water sports?
Instead he starts crying every match
I've got a better idea, a loser leaves the company match between him and Chris Jericho. A win/win situation.
WWE did a huge PPV (mitb) in London and couldn't draw 20k.
But they're all like "But, but Clash at the Castle" like last year lol
I don't understand.
All 4 of them have been left out of major main event programs (excluding Blood and Guts). Omega has done all there is to do. Bucks haven't been doing much, and Page has so much he could accomplish in WWE.
At the least, one of them should've made the jump.
I love this show, but oh my God!
Dave Meltzer's opening monologue was a complete mess of word salad, interrupting himself, not finishing thoughts, and overall lack of getting to the point he seemed to have forgotten halfway through the first sentence!
Its like listening to Donald Trump, and frankly it makes me concerned for him.
duh🤷
If they did leave would it become AW: All Wrestling?
WWE would’ve made them AJ’s goofy sidekicks
How many half sentences with no meaningful words that mean anything does Dave use per minute.
They were you know, people always say, four of them um, you know, back when they urrr umm, and um, you know, in the case of, but um, it’s obviously very high, because ummm
The ELITE didn’t leave All ELITE Wrestling…. I wish I could be shocked
AEW is #1 here in London Mate😄
That's unfortunate. 20-30 more minutes of Dynamite I'll continue to skip for the foreseeable future.
Bring back Generation Me
So stupid!!! Why announce it!!! Once again Tony "King of Storylines" strikes again.
AEW Like A New Home For The Elite. E Is For Elite In AEW, That's Make Sense. From The Very Beginning, The Elite Is The Main Reason Why AEW Existed. A'm I Right 😎
How would they have been featured in WWE. They are probably better off where they are. The bucks in particular would end up as a joke in wwe.
It might have been good for talent to go back and forth between the companies to keep things fresh on both shows
They couldn't get into WWE if they wanted to so it's no surprise.
🤣🤣🤣 did anyone think otherwise. seriously where else would they go; MLW: cause the big boy wanted nothing to do with these 3 that cannot draw 1million plus weekly. seriously how is this news it was a given!
Man if Kenny would only ditch the little kids. He can stay in aew, just don’t be with those two geeks. He is so much more fun to watch with out them.
I like Dave but he needs to stick to the newsletter and off the mic.
Aew js everyone's favourite secondary promotion
First or second I don't care. AEW is the product I have interest in but I do wish they would do more with the women's division. I'm hoping that the recent change in title to Shida means there are plans. I cannot stand how poorly they've been booked and how they're given zero storylines most of the time. WWE can do what they want.
This causes cm punk wants to quit
AEW Revolution Continues 👍
The Elite 😎
Forget the Haters
The elite are garbage.
@thebaddestman7865Wow, this is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. How old are you, twelve?
Sounds like Uncle Dave is mumbling his way through this segment.
dave is straight up wrong if he thinks itv4 is a better channel than btsports in the uk for wrestling.. more ppl might have itv4 but nobody watches it.. nobody.
Not worth the exclamation mark.
Always happy to see the Bucks Kenny & Hangman.
Well I guess they realized they won’t be EVPs of their kids’ carpool
Hell yeah, raise that AEW Flag....we're number 2....we're number 2....we're number 2.
So is Target (to Walmart). So is the NBA (to NFL). So is Lebron (to MJ). It doesn't matter. They make money, they have a stable show, they have talent, they improve the industry because WWE competes more when they have competition. I don't get why you're so against it
@coldsnap5742 too bad AEW isn't thanks to botchmega pissing away 100 million on a game they get 20% of the rev on 🤣
So I'm guessing you only eat at McDonalds since they're the most popular restaurant in the world? Wouldn't want to stain your fingers touching Unpopular Food afterall!
@@blablablaa14i mean to be fair , poop is also number 2
@@DrakkelThere’s no shame in being number 2, idk why anyone would be offended by the notion
Both this guy is WWE Paid media 🎉. Have no respect for this virus anymore 😡😠🔄
Hopefully the elite will be properly utilized in the main event scene again. Just like when they had the trios or tag titles or even when they didn’t.
They belong in the main event scene as the biggest draws of the entire company.
😂
The biggest draws, sure. Have you seen the ratings for their segments?
🤣🤣🤣
I strongly doubt the WWE had any interest in any of them.
Tony Khan gets fleeced by the bucks yet again. They refuse to work and do jobs and got rewarded for it. 😂
They jobbed to guys no one knew on the first match they had. Stop it you bum
@coldsnap5742 tell that to FTR and CM Punk.
Is the news cycle so dead that 10 mins was used up talking about close, dear personal friends, resigning with the company they are executives within?
I don't want the Bucks in WWE or AEW really. They are better suited to Impact.
Man...Meltzer is hard to listen to sometimes.
lol nice rating for that segment 😂
@coldsnap5742 lol top 5 when cable is at historic lows. Big accomplishment 🤣🤣 further proof this stuff is a joke to be laughed at
@@keni95851you answered the question cable is at a historical low which means it effects everyone.
@coldsnap5742 Imagine in 2023 you're still watching TV!!!
@@keni95851 They sold 80K tickets in london are you gonna be on this shtick when they've been around 10 years? 20? At what point do you grow up
@@blablablaa14 imagine simping that hard for any tv show 🤣🤣
Tony khan was stomping his foot, when he was going off about WWE being the number one company. Ha.
His response is actually pretty fair and levelheaded, and he used it to promote All In. Nothing wrong here.
Dave struggling so hard to say anything, and not sound like he just talked to TK
Iyo Sky is a bigger draw than Kenny Omega. Iyo also hits HARDER than all of The Elite combined.
You need to be forcibly bent over by Lord Tony Khan
As an AEW fan, I respectfully agree
I think it was a mistake. For all parties
Not for the superkick party 😎
@@HelloShitty08 Yeah.. Ask Cody if the jump was a mistake..
@@Paul-ob4ln how is Cody's situation now comparable to the Elite's?
You’re KIDDING. WOW, incredible news.
Also, they can keep all their friends who would never be hired anywhere else employed, that seems to be the most important thing for them.
Four more years of tanking the ratings for their symbiotic billionaire sponsor. WCW 2.0
This all just boils down to the Bucks are too scared to jump to WWE, and Omega is too scared to leave the herd. Hangman meanwhile proves himself the biggest idiot in all of wrestling, sticking around in a company where the ACTUAL top guy has it out for him
Never drew a dime, never popped a number. Niche4life
Good. Leave the Elite and their loudmouthed, but insignificant/dwindling fanbase confined to AEW and quarantined to Wednesday nights.
Someone sounds mad about a second promotion just existing.
@@HelloShitty08 dude Dynamite is about to go out of business, since 2019. & we're 200 episodes down 😂

@@santanu-fr Dare you to point to any comment where I said they were going out of business. 😆Dubbalos and their strawmen.
@@xShoTime83x I never said YOU said it.
It's a general cop
the wish version of the bloodline
It is not like they had any other options because you know WWE is not interested.
Unfortunate
Wwe dint want them
Rhea Ripley is a bigger draw than The Young Bucks. She has more strength 💪 & better in-ring psychology than The Young Bucks.
Your mother is probably a bigger draw also
Is everything you say pro wwe? Try not to be too much of a shill.
Now here's where I respectfully disagree. Rhea Ripley's Believe it or Not isn't much of a draw without that mullet boy by her side. At least the Ducks always have themselves to count on.
The Bucks barely get a reaction anymore. Their time is most probably over
Dominik Mysterio is a bigger draw than The 4 Pillars of AEW.
So is your mother
You must be on the spectrum boy.
Dom is a bigger draw than everyone other than Roman. What's your point?
What is all the "pact" nonsense? No wonder I quit paying for this a long time ago.

What other option did they have? If they left for WWE, they’re not talented enough to compete against actual men, and I’m sure they would go straight to NXT… probably as some faction called the elite adult baby diaper lovers or something.
