Tony Khan always looks better in Travis' art, than in real life.
The Arteest delivers once again 😎🤪😝
I would just add a bit of coke to his mustache.
@@williammitchell4417 Trash.
in real life tony looks like a scared little depressed teenager
The drugs and the poor ratings are catching up 🤣🤣
All I can say is; David Carradine had a less embarrassing battle with his belt.
Yup this is Death Race 2000 run amock!!! This was disgusting!!!
Damn I hate that that made me laugh.
@aceldamia9114 You should be ashamed of yourself.
😂😂
Haha, damn.
Tony Kahn's next great feat is going to be reviving TNA by scaring so many people away from AEW.
Tony might buy TNA just to eliminate the competition.
Nah, he's buying NJPW with Okada free agency @EwanCumia
He’s almost there, all TNA needs is to get on a good tv station and he will get there
@@WavesBland26 yeah Tony was definitely one of those mad hardcore ROH/NJPW keyboard warriors back in the day. That’s why he puts down TNA every chance he gets. I hope TNA does get a chance to be on national television and can put down Tony khan and Aew once and for all
Imagine a 2 way Wrestling Rivalry for AEW, good for the buisness, bad for tony's ADD ass
The Sunday night Heats before wwe ppvs always felt like a different show. They where separated by huge booking differences and a pay wall.
They’d have different announcers, different lighting, different ring aprons and in some cases, I think they’d change the ring ropes.
Tony should forever be depicted with that hat and sunglasses from the media scrum. It needs to be on a t shirt!
Thank you guy...!
😂
Love the Monty Python reference!
I can't keep up with the amount of titles in AEW.
Reminds me of when the WWF had the first hour of Raw be "RAW is WAR" and the second hour be "War Zone." And they counted them as two completely different shows. Despite the fact that all that happened is the clock went from 8:59pm to 9pm.
It was still better than how AEW does it. WAR ZONE had more mature humor than RAW IS WAR, but yeah, it was the same exact show, just with more adult humor mixed in.
I really like Brian Solomon. He has such a soothing professional voice. His podcast Shut Up and Wrestle is quite informative. Thanks guys. 😂
"Speaking of bad Indy Wrestling ..." - Jim Cornette
Tony could make life a lot easier for himself if AEW consisted of two hours of Dynamite per week, four quarterly PPVs and occasional specials if there are enough good reasons to do one. Or is that too much like common sense?
What, you want 3 TV show, a joint PPV and more AEW content. It great - Tony Khan
That’s how it started isn’t it?
Jericho got choke-slammed into a mulch bed... and then the doctor said: "Congratulations Mrs. Irvine, it's a boy!"
No, we dont want a 3rd generation jericho running wild on twitter 20 years from now.
Hopefully the baby is mae youngs hand recreated for raw in the next few years. No more irvines, PLEASE
Can we just play Guess The Program next time 🙋♂️
WCW Clash of Champions > AEW Battle Of The Belts
Grundy not realizing Corny was trying to segue into the ad read at the end 😂
😂😂😂
@@JWS1985 Trash.
And Jim being kind enough to just let him say his piece. 😊
😂
No matter why Battle of The Belts exists, it only became an afterthought because AEW treated that way. They could have turned that show into anything. Made it the only 4 hours you absolutely must watch each year. "TNT gave us another hour every quarter? EFF IT! My E-Fed was based on WCW Nitro... I have no use for an hour of TV, if I can't copy something someone already did! Why would we do anything new?"
Fr though when did Hobbs and Starks reconcile
That'll be disclosed in 18 months as part of the long term storytelling.......
There was a post match promo where Hobbs said he still hated Starks and only helped him because Callis asked him to.
When they decided they wanted to do this spot.
Surprised Jericho doesn't claim that he's N D Amazing at this point
We need the two Brians and a person on this podcast
Only thing worth talking avout on this shos was how they took a whole minute out to embarrass Jay Lethal and I can't believe how much disrespect hes gotten at this point
The guy is one of my favorites to watch in ring
I feel terrible for him, also.
It seems that wherever he goes he gets that treatment
I hope theres nothing going on behind the scenes with him 😢
I usually watch all the YT highlights for Dynamite, yet somehow I didn't know Battle of the Belts was happening until the highlights for it started to appear
AEW: Starting with the finish, ending with the entrance.
Looking at Tony's promotion: "It's stone dead."
I can't wait for Starks to go to WWE
Great reference to Monty Python, Sums up this promotion quite well nowadays, hell Jim and Brian may as well refer to it as Tony Khan's Flying Circus 😂
Shoot that's good. I'd actually pay to see that 😂
The ringling bros featuring the cokehead khans 😂
Ahh but as long as it’s a 5-STAR test pattern.
Tony treats Battle of Belts so badly. It's like he's mad the network gave him those extra specials and now is lashing out at em
Battle of the Belts is the most pointless wrestling show ever. In 9 "Special" 1 title has changed hands and it was the Hot Potato of the TNT Title to Sammy against Scorpio Sky. Hell if Battle of the Belts is so important why has the WORLD Title, NEVER been defended? But Tony makes sure every other belt no one cares about is.
A Tale of Two Top Stars: Punk's haters and bashers were let loose and Tony didn't do s--- until he ran him off. Now that it's Jericho with a possible cancellable sin, and Tony tries his worst to try and pipe in noise, strategically avoid him getting booed, and make sure Jericho's bashers gets shushed.
So we now know who Tony Khan's sacred cow is (and the real locker room cancer).
Thanks guys
Trash.
You know why they keep doing it? Cuz Warner asked tony for more ppvs and this was his crap compromise 😂
Timeless Tony's 'Battle of the overdone adrenaline junkie stunts'
i kinda thought they started the show that way for time to swap the ring designs over for the next show. but the jericho thing could very well have been a factor too. as a live attendee, by the time they got into the main part of the arena i was tired of watching the screen and just wanted the next actual match to start.
These shows should be renamed Creation of Newer Belts.... I guess everyone needs a belt to hold up their drawers.... 🤔
Corny should have reviewed TNA Hard To Kill instead.
If you throw bricks at somebody it might hurt somebody I mean why do it
Where is the great Brian Last?!
SNL wishes they were this funny.
CHAOS?!!!
I finally stopped watching aew. Best decision I have made.
I never watched it. 😂😂😂
I have never watched one of these Battle of the Belts show, but I felt like something was going to happen in the street fight, that I would need to see. So yeah, I recorded it. To be honest, I watch wrestling when I'm working out. If I finish my workout before I reach the end of the AEW show, I've usually lost interest, and I don't finish the show. We already know you're not getting to see the main event finish, so why be invested in it?

How about not trying to gatekeep how people watch a video that you have absolutely nothing to do with? If they want to have time stamps, let them make them.
Useless trash.
Sammy won the TV title on the first two specials over 2 years ago. There hasn't been a title change since.
Who is this hosting with Jim this week? Or is this Brian Last with very different sounding voice.
Atleast clear the ring and change the lighting or something besides starting show with ending of last showing still happening.
Genuine question, has a belt ever changed hands on battle of the belts? (i stopped watching a long time ago )
I'm glad corny is watching 😂😅
To any wrestler who had the time to read the comment section, why do you or at least your peer think making a joke about your injuries, even your potential injuries, is a good idea?
When have you heard Vince or Hhh book a match that a fan asked them or a podcast asked for 😂 never. Tony books meaningless matches
What happened to Brian Last?
What! Fake fights in rassleing, well I'll be, imagine that. Even in the territory days. I'm crushed
It’s still going to hurt Ted
Who’s the dude talking with Jim? Just ain’t the same without Brian egging Jim on 😂
I was wondering the same
Brian Solomon
The wwe convo of where they go suddenly just aged badly im unsure anyone predicted Netflix was dropping 5 bil for it at least raw haven't heard about the others lol I still can't fathom how raw live works on Netflix but ok I guess
Peoples speculation or knowledge before other people and tweeting hints has ruined wrestling. Remember in 1998-2002 you wouldn’t get many leaks compared too now 🤦🏻♂️
#MARKBOOKING™
jklol $TYFYB
:( i can't pull an end around recursive ™(#HASHTAG(™));
#TYFYB
If shasa banks go's to AEW she is going there to take TK money and after 2-3 years she go's back to HHH and WWE
They should just book Julia Hart and Anna Jay to lay around next to a pool in their bikinis for 15 minutes. It would draw better ratings and look far less low rent.
Don't give them excuses to make another cringe I'm A Female Wrestler And... vídeo ffs!
Why is it Jim will give AEW countless second chances He talks about them which only helps them in some strange way. But, yet Jim won’t swallow his pride and give TNA another chance (That same night was TNA’s Hard 2 Kill PPV which wasn’t perfect but, a very strong PPV) he would’ve enjoyed the show (ok the PCO match was filler but, everything else enjoyable)
A sucker is born every minute.
It is sadly no longer with us! It is a late parrot!
I honestly believe that Russo is secretly booking AEW. Prove me wrong. Just terrible. Nothing but respect to Corny for watching bad wrestling matches, angles, feuds, etc.
Russo would never book matches through a commercial
@@Mr92094That's actually a great point. He never wanted matches to last more than two minutes.
@@Mr92094 true
I bet its some random guy we dont know of
Tony khan probably hired his friend from the e-Fed days and thats whose writing this dreck
I can’t see how anyone can watch the modern day wrestling. The outcome is so predictable! I’ll watch old school from the 80’s where it actually looks real. I can’t take a 180# so called wrestler seriously! lol
AEW should just make these occasional 3Hour Collisions with a theme, Winter is Coming etc. Why not have made THIS AEW Homecoming or Bash From The Beach, Fyter Fest. & say what you want about Jericho, but i did like the Dynamite from his cruise
Pockets is a Jobber or should be. He's terrible!!!
Looking forward to Dax Harwood blasting Cornette for calling FTR neutered.
And Jim comments on Dax subtly called him out on X regrading Tony outburst on Jinder
This is hilarious and sounds like terrible TV
AEW deserves to close down, its a sh!t show
These battle of the belts shows are meaningless nobody cares this is basically aew's version of night of champions i thought aew wanted to be different from wwe well I guess not.
OMG, Jim thinks FTR = Road Warriors?!?!?
COMEDY GOLD
Do you ever stop bitching? Literally every video Jim posts you’re always at the bottom of the comments just whining
The Road Warriors would wipe the floor with FTR.
@@Mistertbones
,Ohhhhhhhh, what a rush!!!*
STILL memorable to this day!
But we're supposed to be hyped about FTR cos "good wrestlers"?!?!
Sad times!!
You comment on this channel multiple times on one video. Someone triggered this mark into watching/listening to what the momo thinks is productive. You look to be offended to play the victim. Just STFU because no one will take you seriously. Btw, both Road Warriors are DEAD. You forget that too?
And that's not what Jim said either. Stop bullshitting for your own little weak ego because that's all you got.
FTR fucking suck!
They have NEVER said anything of note and talked NOT ONE PERSON into the building!!
But they suck up to Jim and cosplay The Express.
So are the greatest thing going today
Do you not see the problem in what you said? You are focusing on their promo skills, when the reason that people love FTR is because of their actual in-ring talent. Nobody clamors for FTR promos. They clamor for their wrestling talent.
I am actually just hoping I missed the sarcasm you meant in your comment.
@@aceldamia9114
No sarcasm.
Do YOU not see the problem in YOUR thinking??
Lemme get this straight...
Kenny Omeg sucks cos he's a good wrestler that can't talk... but FTR are praised for not talking???
ALL AEW HAS IS "wrestling matches".
Fills most of the show, even "picture in picture" during the adverts...
If FTR don't say the things that get viewers, that explains why the show has low viewership!!!
DUSTY RHODES TALKED PEOPLE INTO THE BUILDING!!
Can't say "his wrestling" was the draw... but boy, could he get you interested in watching...
@@darrengordon-hillwhomp whomp
@@AdmiralRockstar Only cos you say
@@darrengordon-hillOf course it wasn't sarcasm. Just another dumb AEW mark that thinks they know more than someone that worked in the business for decades, unlike your crying ass. I hope you're just a kid because there's no way you're an adult.
First!
Who cares dawg. This is so lame.
Nobody gives a fuck!
Corn just yapping because he missed the bag
More like trashing this crap AEW produce
5 years+ and no profit tells you all you need to know.
Edit: If WB can get a tax write off by canceling AEW, you know they would. WB's new leadership is going to fail. Cancelled movies/TV shows people want to see for the past few years.
Battle of the belts was the shits and I turned the channel after about ten minutes of this garbage.
Growing up in the 90s I think I can professionally say AEW is the equivalent of Jackass meets CZW
With a pinch of WCW.
Big time!!! Although Knocksville was funnier!!!
Maybe a dash of the NWO years.
