"Some of these guys are serious about respecting this industry and making money in it to take care of their families. We just want to have a playground for our friends and us to flip around and pretend we are superstars." There, translated their quote properly.
I was listening through audio only, but once I heard that, I had to stop and rewind to see who said that... my goodness. Of course. One of the Bucks🤦smh. Khan, having these 2 have any influence in his company, has brought it to its current state; a glorified indy show.
@@JohnKobaRuddy Their company is valued at $2 billion and their TV deal nets them $187 million/yr ALONE. I understand your frame of reference for a successful wrestling company is WWE but my god, they were unable to make that kind of money on their TV deal until a decade ago. Clearly, they have a successful business.
i loved them too! i went to many shows and traveled across the country for events. My last one was Cody's second to last appearances where fans were booing him with the ladder.
HAHA! Bro you can NOT compare Cody to AJ, especially not at that time. Cody did NOTHING special in AEW and he wasn't even the face of AEW. When people think of Impact/TNA, they think of AJ. When people think of AEW, they think of MJF, Bucks, Omega, and Cody. He was part of a group. Sure he may be the face of WWE right now, but his title run has been lack luster and WWE is more about the bloodline than Cody. I think the only reason his chase for the title and "his story" got over was because the machine was behind him but now he doesn't look like he can run with the ball on his own because he is an after thought as WWE champ.
Cody said a telling thing in the Ariel Helwani interview. When hes asked if the idea of going back to AEW was in his mind when he was resigning his contract with WWE, Cody replied it didn't even cross his mind. Even though he'll say only positive things about AEW he has no intentions of ever going back, even when they gave him reality shows and game shows to host.
I don’t think that’s exactly a slight against AEW though. Cody is living out his lifelong dream right now and getting the push he always wanted. WWE was always his real home.
@@reddragon0624 Well your comment sure is a slight to AEW lol. To say WWE was always his home, is a insult to Tony Khan and the whole "revolution" Cody help create with the "Elite". You trying to say that all meant nothing to him? This is more than just Cody living out his lifelong dream, it's about proving to Vince and Hunter that he was worth more to them being himself and using his real name. Fans in AEW will still chant his name. Yet he is the competition's Champion. AEW is bitter about it all, just look what they did to Ricky Starks.
I blame the bucks, Jericho,hangman and Tony. Jim was right when he said Tony was a mark who let the bucks and friends play wrestling. Tony allowed them to turn aew into an Indy show week after week

@@murdockfiles9406 Agreed. Omega was friendly with Punk after the altercation and has been on recorded almost 2 years later that they should have just fought it out and went back about their business which was a very old school take.

@@above.average.gaming.natio3026 Yes. It's not widely publicized, as Cody is a consummate professional, and he wants the best for AEW.

Cody is always clear about the fact that he's very thankful for his time in AEW, but he does allude in a few interviews as to how things went. Between the creative and the payment disputes, that partnership was not going to be long for this world in any scenario tbh.
A lot of people point at Punk as the beginning of the downfall, but i think it was Cody Leaving that really impacted the backstage morale. Punk was just gasoline to the small fire that started after Cody left.
That section "AEW brought back Punk, removed the dust, the ring rust and basically prepared him for a return to WWE" 🔥 Moreover, Cody was the leader they needed, they polished Cody, added the sophistication, the media management and sent him to WWE. Shot in both feet
@henrymeanwell3972 AEW gave punk the ring sharpness, no point in denying that. Also, Punk gave it back two fold. Not only did AEW get two shows, Rampage and Collision, on the back of Punk, they had their largest gates when he was with the company. His All-in segment with Perry is still the largest AEW audience even after he left. That the two shows are doing poorly are because of AEW mismanagement of a bloated roster and the fact that Rampage is pre_taped after Dynamite means that it has no "oh" factor.
Seeing how The Elite refused to sit down and fix things with Punk, when this could have been a good example to the locker room, and refused to do business showed me how they don’t care about AEW. They’ve only cared about having a consistent income aka Tony’s money and a place where they can do what they want with their friends and that’s it. Growing the business of AEW and establishing it does not matter to them at all. They got out of it what they wanted and that’s it. And Kenny saying AEW doesn’t need him lol he probably doesn’t want to be in that locker room. He’s always considered NJPW his home more anyway.
I honestly think if somehow the elite swallowed their pride and did business with Punk, it would've brought the company some much needed stability for the next few years.
It's blatantly obvious that Kenny has no interest in AEW now and wants to return to Japan permanently. His return on Dynamite had that written all over his face.
It's strange that everyone who left had problems with that friendship group (Bucks, Perry, Page, Cole, and Britt). There comes a time when you have to open your eyes to who is clearly the problem.
I never really got into AEW, but that was only because most of my favorites were in WWE and I just had a hard time trying to spread out all my watching over four different shows. I didn’t hate it. I just didn’t really make time for it
@@pinroshan020 I think their short comings are really on display when they admit that Cody was the only one to think theyve needed produces and medical staff in a Wrestling television show.
It's crazy how much mox and Jericho have aged looks wise since joining aew.. Even punk looked older in aew, when he returned to wwe he looked refreshed.
He very much looks like the guy that is desperate to be “cool” to all the neighborhood kids and offers his house for parties as long as he gets invited.
Tony is a sociopath who sees these wrestlers as toys, not like assets. When his toys don't do what he wants, he sidelines them indefinitely and doesn't give an explanation, because he doesn't owe his toys explainations.
Just because someone has a good memory and can recall attendance , matches, locations and what the gate was doesn’t make them fit to book a wrestling show. Just because you have a good memory about wrestling history doesn’t make you qualified to run it.
Cody leaving started it, Hangman made it worse, Jack broke it even more and Punk leaving solidified the downfall. Tony had great minds in Cody and Punk, they could have made some great stories and matches.
Loveeee this !! Lots of research and work went into this , and I am soooo freakin pumped watching it all. This was so so so so good !! Thank you for this
@Slacker4Life3 When did "a shitload" become less than 3k??? Nobody cares about AEW, even the "talent" . They are dying in the ratings since the Big Bang Theory isn't bumping their numbers anymore. I would say it's over but it never even got started
Will Washington: "last thing I want to do is give grifters validation" lol like he is somebody special... dude has done nothing. he is the ultimate grifter.
@@LILJAYSO777 Well atleast he is not heads up in TK's ass, giving him a fake ego boost, causing a good thing to become slowly and surely sh*t because he is so goddamn out of touch. Get your lame-ass lazy argument outta here man.
That shameless kiss ass has definitely contributed to aew losing fans. The only good idea will has ever had was vacuum Tony's cornhole on Twitter until it got him a job.
Dude, The Bucks just said everything wrong with them being EVP and their out look on wrestling in general., they said some guys take this wrestling too seriously and we just want to have fun
They'd be fine EVPs for Chikara, Dramatic Dream Team or what not. AEW promised month after month that it was going to be a serious sports based presentation of professional wrestling, SERIOUS always being the first word. I've got no sympathy for The Young Bucks as AEW employees for that very reason. They refuse to be serious and help the company they are executive vice presidents of keep its promise. There's plenty enough goofy companies in wrestling, WWE chief among them, especially during Vince McMahon's twilight years with the zombies, magots being projected on the ring, men swimming around with shark fins, could have had "fun" over there.
Tony is not fit to run a wrestling company and these wrestlers know it they have no confidence in this man anymore and its so clear. The backstage drama also isnt helping because the drama backstage is more popular than the actual show
Fanatics can't run a company anymore than someone like Vince who is nothing but Ego. Both situations lead to my ideas are perfect and the customers don't matter.
An amazing mind for wrestling means knowing how to strategically book a show to get the most out of your talent and offer the most to your fans. It does NOT mean knowing who won what match on what day in what arena.
That's what none of the terminally online Meltzer Marks don't understand. Just because YOU like 5'4", 135lb nerds doing 47 flips per match doesn't mean everyone else is going to. And when you have a TV show? Your responsibility and job is to offer as much variety as possible to give something to as many fans as possible, not just half a million internet marks.
The nerdy Vince McMahon, without all of the things that make nerds successful, like intimate knowledge of how the subject of their obsession actually works. And with all of Khan's NDAs he might be even more like Vince McMahon than anyone realizes.
I have to disagree. Vince crushed all of his competition over the years, turned a territory into a multi-billion dollar company, made people into superstars, and made himself a billionaire. Without Vince, there would be no Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, the Rock, Kane, the Undertaker, Macho Man, etc, etc. They would have been bouncing around from territory to territory. Vince might have lost it in his old age, but he will be remembered as a legend. Vince grew up in a dirt poor trailer park in North Carolina, then he went on to literally change the culture of the world.
@@mr.joedirt8583 Hulk Hogan was still a mega star. The AWA was would have still been the most expansive territory, and with both Hulk Hogan and The Road Warriors it'd have probably lasted. Which isn't to suggest Hogan would have never gone to WWF regardless, but that WWF could have remained a hundred million dollar territory without putting all of the other successful territories under. Most of those men would have been fine with 39 territories in the continental United States to choose from. Japan, Mexico, Argentina, UK, Nigeria, Australia even would likely be stronger markets to work in with a strong US territory system to feed them. Vince didn't put the under territories under because his business was better, he did it by intimidating arenas, radio stations, magazines, cable stations, into not running other shows, making deals with other territories for wrestlers and then violating those deals and undermining more series products by openly breaking kayfabe. I'd probably still be bitter about thirty nine territories just giving way to one company and it's next closest competition, about a nation with thousands of wrestling stars being reduced to a nation of tens of wrestling stars, hundreds of wrestlers making decent livings off of the business when it was ten times that, but if it was just people liking Vince's product more, well it'd be a bitter pill I could happily swallow. Black Saturday proves that people did not prefer Vince's product, however. Trying to run WWF television in place of Crocket's bombed. And that's okay. WWF had it's own timeslot already, people should have been allowed variety, to enjoy different styles of wrestling, but Vince McMahon just couldn't allow that. So he added some zeroes to his bank account? Good for him. He also did more damage to the professional wrestling business than anyone else to get it. He'd have still been a hundred millionaire, or more, just competently running his own territory, supporting the territory system that had been a successful business model in the form he entered it since 1948, in some form or another since 1888, and wrestling would be more fun for all of us fans instead of sifting through the indies and foreign promotions for diamonds in the rough, for quality alternatives not readily available. The territory system was in need of improvement, of modernization, that much I'll admit. Vince McMahon could have been one of the men to advance it, expand wrestling even further. Fifty, sixty territories, rather than cutting it all down for the sake of building one big house. Like imagine if all the record labels just went away, put up with Rockefeller or enjoy your indie music? All the television stations just got eaten by ABC? All the clothing stores were Gaps? If the thirty four NFL teams all fell away in favor of a Lingerie Bowl tours in a select few cities. If the only alternatives were a bunch of underfunded vanity projects, five figure independent production and in the borders of other countries. If Nintendo made the only game consoles, if Hilton had the only hotels. But I should applaud it happening to professional wrestling? Even if I enjoyed the WWF product, no. Even if everyone else was fine just migrating to the WWF product, no, but they didn't anyway. Tens of millions of people used to watch professional wrestling weekly. They were all watching different programs, but they were all watching professional wrestling. Now WWE gets two, three, maybe even four million viewers for a show and that's supposed to be applauded? But good for Vince Junior's bank account!
@@mantistobbogan890 Unproven allegations by gold digging sloots. Don't be a simp. Women don't always tell the truth. Especially when money is involved.
I was a fan of AEW in the beginning. I almost gave up on it beforeCM Punk showed up and did stop watching it after CM Punk left. Punk was right, it's not a real business. Tony Khan is basically the new Vince McMahon (minus all the sex.) He's toxic and doesn't now how to book a wrestling show for a wider audience than just Dave Meltzer.
watched a bit at the beginning of aew, felt nostalgia for wcw days (felt like i was watching monday nitro). tried to watch it recently and i cant get into it sadly.
PWG didn't have a time limit to keep. AEW runs over every week. When they schedule an overrun they overrun that. I think the television show has been on time ONCE! Or maybe it was a pay per view that got done early? I do know they managed to overrun a pay per view! Sting's retirement, no less! PWG could afford to let all the wrestlers "get their shit in". That's why the thing was created in the first place. Just announced time limits on every match, so the fans can hear them, call the time every five minutes to remind the wrestlers they need to wrap things up, and occasionally remind fans that as a television production things need to get done on time. Overtime should be rare, like a sport. Rematches should be common, like a sport!
@ thats great. Still lost a lot of populairty. Number’s dont lie. They were gaining fans year over years and now they are losing fans year over year while wwe is gaining fans. Enjoy it if you like but dont live in denial. They aint paying you.
The biggest lie is the whole, "Tony Khan is a nice guy" line. A nice guy would not allow this toxic environment to flourish. Through his direct actions to encourage locker room drama because it "helps the narrative" and his inaction to reign in his "friends", Tony has caused real personal and professional harm to dozens of people in the wrestling industry.
He's nice up until he has to put his big boy pants on and he has to become a boss. He's so adverse to confrontation he'll just let everything burn around him.
I personally feel that Tony can totally be a nice guy if he has a heavy to do the dirty work. He could have used Jake Roberts, arn Anderson or the big show to play the enforcer if he needed it backstage. Is jack perry going off script on rental cars if big show is telling him he'll kick his butt backstage afterwards?
Nice guys can make bad leaders because they don’t want to use their authority that leads to people disliking them. You can be nice and lead to toxic atmospheres by allowing people to try to think they are the true leaders
This downhill mess started when Cody left for WWE. He really was the one who built this company. He was the one who made All In possible due to a bet with Dave Meltzer. TK can pump in money as investments and capital, but he cannot run a promotion alone. His EVPs are nothing more than egoistic schmucks that tries to demolish whoever they hated. AEW is great when they launched and beat WWE with their fresh produce, but WWE really beat them overall. And choosing Jack Perry > CM Punk made me turn off on the promotion. And now, with Ricky Starks and Rey Fenix held hostage, I hated them more.
Sorta on topic, i have an issue with AEW where it feels like people in the business who have been loyal even though they shouldn’t have don’t get treated fairly when it comes to booking and I find that so stupid
That would definitely be a major turn for the AEW fans. Cody leaves? "Meh, he sucked anyway." Punk leaves? "He's a cancer!" Omega leaves? "OUR Kenny is gone! This show sucks, Tony! YOU SUCK, TONY!!!"
Everything seems to line up with Cody leaving. The one who had the wrestling business IQ of all them combined. I would love to see this company thrive as a wrestling fan. We will see what happens after this current new deal and if they can survive.
And the Bucks are trash, not top guys. Horrible wrestlers. Look at AEW now without Punk and Cody. I guess they kept the wrong guys and listen to the wrong guys.
Bucks are decent wrestlers but they legit give off go-away heat. They're promo and character works are cringe and I do not find them entertaining in the slightest.
They bucks are not good wrestlers, doing flips and super cool moves does not make them good wrestlers. They do the same match they’ve been doing since like 2008 or so. They fucking suck.
These comments are crazy but valid. Losing Cody was like TNA losing AJ. Losing Punk exposed them in how they treat Rey Fenix yet denied would never be like the E. It's crazy because I never felt like there was that deep a dive in their product but the same hardcore fans that they used a means for All In are the same fans that they've lost and turned away to some degree with some of their decisions.
The real start of the downfall of aew will always going to be Hangman Adam Page doin business for himself against cm punk back in 2022. Never ever forget that!
@alanmacdonald1457 he wanted to be the guy who he is now, and AEW fans chewed it up and spit it out, he wasn't willing to go full heel because at that point he had probably made up his mind that he had to go to WWE to reach the heights he dreamt about. AEW is an indy with money, and if things keep going in the direction that they are, that's all they ever will be. He knew this too.
"We wanna have fun" Is the reason why they are in the situation now nobody takes it seriously. Which is extremely sad because in the beginning i was huge fan didnt miss a episode but now i go weeks without watching and dont feel like i miss a step when i do tune in.
Cody Rhodes is the best signing of the decade for WWE. It might be Nick Khan & Paul Levesque that signed Punk to the company, but I'm damn sure that Cody has played some role in restoring morale & good faith of Punk in the locker room. Being that Roman was pretty much absent, Seth being the next top guy who has a major beef with Punk, and now with Roman being present, both have a beef with Punk. I guess that Cody might've played an important role as a bridge who helped to mend the problems between each parties. After AJ Styles & Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes is the best talent signing that the WWE has done in the last 2 decades. (PS: Chris Jericho should leave AEW asap to have his last few days of his career to be memorable in a good way. The more he stays there, the more it has the possibility to be forgettable & boring [like how Kurt Angle's run has been in WWE, apart from the mixed tag match]. I guess he may return to WWE for his one last run, or personally I'd like to see someone like him to go to TNA & be the actual learning tree for the young wrestlers over there, like how John Cena did his part with his US title run)
@@megaapp9185 nick khan was Punks agent before he went to wwe. It was all Nick Khan, Triple H had concerns but Nick Khan took care of the whole thing. Cody def changed the momentum of wwe though for sure.
I’d like to thank Tony Khan for failing to keep CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes, 2 of the best professional wrestlers in the world, happy. Because now, they are giving us WWE fans some of the most amazing entertainment we’ve seen in years.
You've done a great job of bringing everything to the surface. Just wait til Cody exposes the real reason he was unhappy at the end. It's really one guy Chris Jericho. Yes the Bucks are Meltzer stooges but Jericho has been feeding Meltzer since the 90s. Look deeper into the Punk thing. Punk never trusted Jericho cause he was a politician. When Punk left Jericho reached out to get him on his podcast cause he wanted the downloads Cabana got. Punk never responded. Once Punk got to AEW Jericho did everything he could to stir things up backstage. Jericho has Tonys ear & has probably the most input.
@brokenkayfabe I believe that is why Cody hasn't said more. Jericho is the one guy that never seems to miss a show you notice thst? Doesn't wanna risk losing his spot. This ass has also said he thinks he's the greatest of all time lol.

7:50 Such a funny sequence lmao
Seeing how The Elite refused to sit down and fix things with Punk, when this could have been a good example to the locker room, and refused to do business showed me how they don’t care about AEW. They’ve only cared about having a consistent income aka Tony’s money and a place where they can do what they want with their friends and that’s it. Growing the business of AEW and establishing it does not matter to them at all. They got out of it what they wanted and that’s it. And Kenny saying AEW doesn’t need him lol he probably doesn’t want to be in that locker room. He’s always considered NJPW his home more anyway.
Kenny and the Buckaroos have spent more time sitting at home the last 3 years than actively wrestling and they're on guaranteed contracts
I honestly think if somehow the elite swallowed their pride and did business with Punk, it would've brought the company some much needed stability for the next few years.
This aged well
It's blatantly obvious that Kenny has no interest in AEW now and wants to return to Japan permanently.
His return on Dynamite had that written all over his face.
5:09 CVV cameo
So Cody what is the only person there that knew their ass from a hole in the ground.
Amazing work!
It's strange that everyone who left had problems with that friendship group (Bucks, Perry, Page, Cole, and Britt).
There comes a time when you have to open your eyes to who is clearly the problem.
replace Cole with Jericho interms of the drama
I never really got into AEW, but that was only because most of my favorites were in WWE and I just had a hard time trying to spread out all my watching over four different shows. I didn’t hate it. I just didn’t really make time for it
man the elite dump all over their company.. so wild.
Their egos are their weaknesses anyway.
Mostly the Bucks
must be tough working for your number one fan! 11:50 i feel so bad
@@pinroshan020 I think their short comings are really on display when they admit that Cody was the only one to think theyve needed produces and medical staff in a Wrestling television show.
Not so much Omega surprisingly….
Tony Kahn is no Paul Heyman.
It's crazy how much mox and Jericho have aged looks wise since joining aew.. Even punk looked older in aew, when he returned to wwe he looked refreshed.
He very much looks like the guy that is desperate to be “cool” to all the neighborhood kids and offers his house for parties as long as he gets invited.
@bixbycro who you referring to?
Hes talking about Tony Khan.
Alcohol is hell of a drug
He looks absolutely fresh and genuinely happy
I knew Kenny an Punk had no issues. It was Punk & The Bucks who had beef.
Tony is a sociopath who sees these wrestlers as toys, not like assets. When his toys don't do what he wants, he sidelines them indefinitely and doesn't give an explanation, because he doesn't owe his toys explainations.
He always looks coked up and talks in circles instead of addressing issues
I wouldn't say he's a sociopath. He's just an autistic adult with a child-like demeanour who isn't street smart and has no cojones.
Sounds like he uses silent firing as a tactic. The guy is a coward.
@mapsgoonthewall5396 undoubtedly. He just doesn't book the guys and won't let them leave until their contracts expire. He's a petulant child
Man. Pentagon vs Omega was a match that SOLD me. Haven't really watched it since :/
Just because someone has a good memory and can recall attendance , matches, locations and what the gate was doesn’t make them fit to book a wrestling show. Just because you have a good memory about wrestling history doesn’t make you qualified to run it.
Sometimes surprise storylines and matches can be exciting but every week is boring there’s no tension
Nobody needs to “try to stop it from succeeding”…you’re doing that just fine on your own.
Cody was instrumental in AEW. Him leaving was the beginning of their “current state”
Cody leaving started it, Hangman made it worse, Jack broke it even more and Punk leaving solidified the downfall.
Tony had great minds in Cody and Punk, they could have made some great stories and matches.
Letting Cody go was the first blunder. Look where some of the talent he helped went - if not TNA, WWE (who are coincidentally working with each other)
2:00 That’s the first time I’ve heard someone in the company talk about ratings expectations, and it’s exactly where they are now. 😅

Cody leaving fatally wounded AEW. Punk leaving put it out of its misery. It's been a stumbling corpse for a while now.
yeah for wwe fans who just love talking about aew so much. AEW is still selling a shit load of tickets for every ppv.
@Slacker4Life3 When did "a shitload" become less than 3k??? Nobody cares about AEW, even the "talent" . They are dying in the ratings since the Big Bang Theory isn't bumping their numbers anymore. I would say it's over but it never even got started

Dude, The Bucks just said everything wrong with them being EVP and their out look on wrestling in general., they said some guys take this wrestling too seriously and we just want to have fun
11:48 imagine working for your number 1 fan and still claiming to be miserable and want to leave.
i included a lot of those types of moments.
@@brokenkayfabe good work mate
They'd be fine EVPs for Chikara, Dramatic Dream Team or what not. AEW promised month after month that it was going to be a serious sports based presentation of professional wrestling, SERIOUS always being the first word. I've got no sympathy for The Young Bucks as AEW employees for that very reason. They refuse to be serious and help the company they are executive vice presidents of keep its promise. There's plenty enough goofy companies in wrestling, WWE chief among them, especially during Vince McMahon's twilight years with the zombies, magots being projected on the ring, men swimming around with shark fins, could have had "fun" over there.
33:57 I was like wtf why does Tony look like that and then it's father behind him looking disappointed
Khan is the biggest wrestling fan!
A wrestling fan does not make a good business man.
Coke well do that...
Tony is not fit to run a wrestling company and these wrestlers know it they have no confidence in this man anymore and its so clear. The backstage drama also isnt helping because the drama backstage is more popular than the actual show
Yeah it’s incredible how people can’t see Tony for what he is: a gay man. Just like Bischoff, a gay man can’t run a wrestling business for very long.
because tony comes from the real world not the carny world he treats his wrestlers like people do in sports like a family but u think thats bad
@@kyleday5026tony is a gay man. He could never run a successful wrestling business.
@@kyleday5026not family....employees
Tony's not fit to play GM mode on 2K24.
I have not heard one person compare Tony Khan to Paul Heyman. However, he is compared to Vince McMahon.
Every time Tony says good question means he will talk his way around it
But he doesn't, he tiptoes around the question asked and tries unsuccessfully to change the topic
I wanna know whos blowing smoke up tonys butt saying he reminds them of heyman😂😂😂
Fanatics can't run a company anymore than someone like Vince who is nothing but Ego. Both situations lead to my ideas are perfect and the customers don't matter.
An amazing mind for wrestling means knowing how to strategically book a show to get the most out of your talent and offer the most to your fans. It does NOT mean knowing who won what match on what day in what arena.
It’s not about what Tony likes. And that’s what he doesn’t understand
That's what none of the terminally online Meltzer Marks don't understand. Just because YOU like 5'4", 135lb nerds doing 47 flips per match doesn't mean everyone else is going to.
And when you have a TV show? Your responsibility and job is to offer as much variety as possible to give something to as many fans as possible, not just half a million internet marks.
What does Cody know that nobody else seems to recognize about AEW?
who is the Girl at 22:43 ?
Girl on cinema
Girl on Cinema?

3:02 Stephanie keeping it 💯
Tony is slowly becoming the person he criticized.
Vince McMahon
The nerdy Vince McMahon, without all of the things that make nerds successful, like intimate knowledge of how the subject of their obsession actually works.
And with all of Khan's NDAs he might be even more like Vince McMahon than anyone realizes.
I have to disagree. Vince crushed all of his competition over the years, turned a territory into a multi-billion dollar company, made people into superstars, and made himself a billionaire. Without Vince, there would be no Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, the Rock, Kane, the Undertaker, Macho Man, etc, etc. They would have been bouncing around from territory to territory. Vince might have lost it in his old age, but he will be remembered as a legend. Vince grew up in a dirt poor trailer park in North Carolina, then he went on to literally change the culture of the world.
@@mr.joedirt8583 Hulk Hogan was still a mega star. The AWA was would have still been the most expansive territory, and with both Hulk Hogan and The Road Warriors it'd have probably lasted. Which isn't to suggest Hogan would have never gone to WWF regardless, but that WWF could have remained a hundred million dollar territory without putting all of the other successful territories under. Most of those men would have been fine with 39 territories in the continental United States to choose from. Japan, Mexico, Argentina, UK, Nigeria, Australia even would likely be stronger markets to work in with a strong US territory system to feed them.
Vince didn't put the under territories under because his business was better, he did it by intimidating arenas, radio stations, magazines, cable stations, into not running other shows, making deals with other territories for wrestlers and then violating those deals and undermining more series products by openly breaking kayfabe. I'd probably still be bitter about thirty nine territories just giving way to one company and it's next closest competition, about a nation with thousands of wrestling stars being reduced to a nation of tens of wrestling stars, hundreds of wrestlers making decent livings off of the business when it was ten times that, but if it was just people liking Vince's product more, well it'd be a bitter pill I could happily swallow. Black Saturday proves that people did not prefer Vince's product, however. Trying to run WWF television in place of Crocket's bombed. And that's okay. WWF had it's own timeslot already, people should have been allowed variety, to enjoy different styles of wrestling, but Vince McMahon just couldn't allow that.
So he added some zeroes to his bank account? Good for him. He also did more damage to the professional wrestling business than anyone else to get it. He'd have still been a hundred millionaire, or more, just competently running his own territory, supporting the territory system that had been a successful business model in the form he entered it since 1948, in some form or another since 1888, and wrestling would be more fun for all of us fans instead of sifting through the indies and foreign promotions for diamonds in the rough, for quality alternatives not readily available. The territory system was in need of improvement, of modernization, that much I'll admit. Vince McMahon could have been one of the men to advance it, expand wrestling even further. Fifty, sixty territories, rather than cutting it all down for the sake of building one big house.
Like imagine if all the record labels just went away, put up with Rockefeller or enjoy your indie music? All the television stations just got eaten by ABC? All the clothing stores were Gaps? If the thirty four NFL teams all fell away in favor of a Lingerie Bowl tours in a select few cities. If the only alternatives were a bunch of underfunded vanity projects, five figure independent production and in the borders of other countries. If Nintendo made the only game consoles, if Hilton had the only hotels. But I should applaud it happening to professional wrestling? Even if I enjoyed the WWF product, no. Even if everyone else was fine just migrating to the WWF product, no, but they didn't anyway. Tens of millions of people used to watch professional wrestling weekly. They were all watching different programs, but they were all watching professional wrestling. Now WWE gets two, three, maybe even four million viewers for a show and that's supposed to be applauded? But good for Vince Junior's bank account!
A rapist?
@@mantistobbogan890 Unproven allegations by gold digging sloots. Don't be a simp. Women don't always tell the truth. Especially when money is involved.
You want a visual indicator of the difference between cody and the rest of aew? Cody wore a suit to work the rest wore their workout clothes to play
I was a fan of AEW in the beginning. I almost gave up on it beforeCM Punk showed up and did stop watching it after CM Punk left. Punk was right, it's not a real business. Tony Khan is basically the new Vince McMahon (minus all the sex.) He's toxic and doesn't now how to book a wrestling show for a wider audience than just Dave Meltzer.
Tony=incel vince
I share the same story. Watched from day 1, and stopped just after punk was fired. Its just not fun anymore
watched a bit at the beginning of aew, felt nostalgia for wcw days (felt like i was watching monday nitro). tried to watch it recently and i cant get into it sadly.
Ain't no way Adam Cole and co. Could compare to hall and nash
The funniest part is when he said aew isn't capable of bad booking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AEW is PWG with a budget but with somehow worst booking and smaller crowds.
PWG didn't have a time limit to keep. AEW runs over every week. When they schedule an overrun they overrun that. I think the television show has been on time ONCE! Or maybe it was a pay per view that got done early? I do know they managed to overrun a pay per view! Sting's retirement, no less! PWG could afford to let all the wrestlers "get their shit in". That's why the thing was created in the first place. Just announced time limits on every match, so the fans can hear them, call the time every five minutes to remind the wrestlers they need to wrap things up, and occasionally remind fans that as a television production things need to get done on time. Overtime should be rare, like a sport. Rematches should be common, like a sport!
@stylevstar253 I've been saying this since day one.
Those first 3 years were awesome❤... then Punk left😢
Tony is not a leader and he never had a clue. AEW isn't a business, it's a lick
9:53 *ding!*

Love that you're back great documentary as always 👏
thank you this took me a while!
Now I know why I don't take Alvarez seriously 8:01
The biggest lie is the whole, "Tony Khan is a nice guy" line. A nice guy would not allow this toxic environment to flourish. Through his direct actions to encourage locker room drama because it "helps the narrative" and his inaction to reign in his "friends", Tony has caused real personal and professional harm to dozens of people in the wrestling industry.
"Nice" guys are rarely "good" men. He's a boy playing with his toys.
He's nice up until he has to put his big boy pants on and he has to become a boss. He's so adverse to confrontation he'll just let everything burn around him.
@@elnyayawhen has he put big boy pants on ever?
I personally feel that Tony can totally be a nice guy if he has a heavy to do the dirty work. He could have used Jake Roberts, arn Anderson or the big show to play the enforcer if he needed it backstage. Is jack perry going off script on rental cars if big show is telling him he'll kick his butt backstage afterwards?
Nice guys can make bad leaders because they don’t want to use their authority that leads to people disliking them. You can be nice and lead to toxic atmospheres by allowing people to try to think they are the true leaders
so that Washington guy is the new Vince Russo?
@@Plame69 more like john laurenitis.
This downhill mess started when Cody left for WWE. He really was the one who built this company. He was the one who made All In possible due to a bet with Dave Meltzer.
TK can pump in money as investments and capital, but he cannot run a promotion alone. His EVPs are nothing more than egoistic schmucks that tries to demolish whoever they hated.
AEW is great when they launched and beat WWE with their fresh produce, but WWE really beat them overall.
And choosing Jack Perry > CM Punk made me turn off on the promotion. And now, with Ricky Starks and Rey Fenix held hostage, I hated them more.
Sorta on topic, i have an issue with AEW where it feels like people in the business who have been loyal even though they shouldn’t have don’t get treated fairly when it comes to booking and I find that so stupid
If Kenny leaves AEW, that could be the final nail in the coffin for them.
That would definitely be a major turn for the AEW fans.
Cody leaves? "Meh, he sucked anyway."
Punk leaves? "He's a cancer!"
Omega leaves? "OUR Kenny is gone! This show sucks, Tony! YOU SUCK, TONY!!!"
8:17 the disconnect is real....🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Everything seems to line up with Cody leaving. The one who had the wrestling business IQ of all them combined. I would love to see this company thrive as a wrestling fan. We will see what happens after this current new deal and if they can survive.
lol so thats why swerve got to be champ
IMO Tony Kahn is a guy with someone elses money and no responsibility or knowledge on how to properly do the job he has given himself.
If Paul Heyman ran AEW?🤔
And the Bucks are trash, not top guys. Horrible wrestlers. Look at AEW now without Punk and Cody. I guess they kept the wrong guys and listen to the wrong guys.
Bucks are decent wrestlers but they legit give off go-away heat. They're promo and character works are cringe and I do not find them entertaining in the slightest.
I'm not even much of a fan of theirs but that's not true at all lol
@@whiteydiamond they’re good wrestlers but they are absolute cringe with what they do outside the ring
They are top guys....
In their own head.
They bucks are not good wrestlers, doing flips and super cool moves does not make them good wrestlers. They do the same match they’ve been doing since like 2008 or so. They fucking suck.
These comments are crazy but valid. Losing Cody was like TNA losing AJ. Losing Punk exposed them in how they treat Rey Fenix yet denied would never be like the E. It's crazy because I never felt like there was that deep a dive in their product but the same hardcore fans that they used a means for All In are the same fans that they've lost and turned away to some degree with some of their decisions.
The real start of the downfall of aew will always going to be Hangman Adam Page doin business for himself against cm punk back in 2022. Never ever forget that!
He is the starting point
The downfall began when Cody left. It wasn't long before ratings dropped as well as the company's credibility
@@corsicacommander8371 cody leaving probably was very bad for the backstage but he was stinking it up on stage in aew
@corsicacommander8371 I agree. Cody leaving was the Start as quality steadily degraded. The Hangman promo was the Accelerator
@alanmacdonald1457 he wanted to be the guy who he is now, and AEW fans chewed it up and spit it out, he wasn't willing to go full heel because at that point he had probably made up his mind that he had to go to WWE to reach the heights he dreamt about. AEW is an indy with money, and if things keep going in the direction that they are, that's all they ever will be. He knew this too.
Actually, Tony Khan does remind me a lot of Paul Heyman.
They're both highly creative bookers who have no idea how to run a company.
Im sure Heyman has the tools NOW to run a company. Can't say that about Kahn.
"We wanna have fun" Is the reason why they are in the situation now nobody takes it seriously. Which is extremely sad because in the beginning i was huge fan didnt miss a episode but now i go weeks without watching and dont feel like i miss a step when i do tune in.
Tell me your a massive WWE fan without telling me you're a massive WWE fan
lol I have same kind of videos for wwe too
Cody Rhodes is the best signing of the decade for WWE. It might be Nick Khan & Paul Levesque that signed Punk to the company, but I'm damn sure that Cody has played some role in restoring morale & good faith of Punk in the locker room. Being that Roman was pretty much absent, Seth being the next top guy who has a major beef with Punk, and now with Roman being present, both have a beef with Punk. I guess that Cody might've played an important role as a bridge who helped to mend the problems between each parties.
After AJ Styles & Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes is the best talent signing that the WWE has done in the last 2 decades.
(PS: Chris Jericho should leave AEW asap to have his last few days of his career to be memorable in a good way. The more he stays there, the more it has the possibility to be forgettable & boring [like how Kurt Angle's run has been in WWE, apart from the mixed tag match]. I guess he may return to WWE for his one last run, or personally I'd like to see someone like him to go to TNA & be the actual learning tree for the young wrestlers over there, like how John Cena did his part with his US title run)
@@megaapp9185 nick khan was Punks agent before he went to wwe. It was all Nick Khan, Triple H had concerns but Nick Khan took care of the whole thing. Cody def changed the momentum of wwe though for sure.

You've done a great job of bringing everything to the surface. Just wait til Cody exposes the real reason he was unhappy at the end. It's really one guy Chris Jericho. Yes the Bucks are Meltzer stooges but Jericho has been feeding Meltzer since the 90s. Look deeper into the Punk thing. Punk never trusted Jericho cause he was a politician. When Punk left Jericho reached out to get him on his podcast cause he wanted the downloads Cabana got. Punk never responded. Once Punk got to AEW Jericho did everything he could to stir things up backstage. Jericho has Tonys ear & has probably the most input.
Remember he called Punk a cancer after brawl out?? Later he acted like he tried to mediate
@@rickeyholmes420 Also the kylie rae thing... NDA's are very real in AEW.
