Thanks Guys.
Best thing Brian has done lol
"you dont want to appeal to that (making most money, you want to appeal to the niche that say you had the best match" is an AMAZING quote to describe TK and AEW
Tony Khan believes he is the Man of the People. The Robin Hood of Wrestling. Ignoring the Fact that he is Richie Rich in Real Life.
Naw. He is a teenage WWE fanboy that funded a promotion to play promoter on, like a WWE 2k wrestling game. I believe he really does mean well, he just doesnt understand that is presence is more like a groupie backstage at a rock show.
Al Snow has one of the greatest modern wrestling minds. I'm surprised how he dosen't have a senior position at the WWE. Not only does he have the knowledge but he has a pragmatic level headed approach to where he can apply that knowledge well.
he runs ovw think he bought it
He may not want the position. The stress, schedule politics and everything else that goes along with that position. A lot of people that do qualify, choose not to do it for those reasons.
I thought this post was an obvious troll, but the comments show it maybe wasn’t that obvious
Rest in Peace 🙏 🪦 WWE LEGEND IRON SHEIK pass away 🙏 😢 81
No not Sheiky , say its not true !!
Yes it True 👍
Al Snow is 100% correct.
No he’s not 😂
@@Rambomode92 Ok. Enlighten us then.
@@FryngeMinority he’s just salty AEW won’t offer him a job
@@Rambomode92 Yeah I’m sure he needs or wants a job with AEW. He’s busy running his own promotion, and doing just fine by the looks of it.
Maybe that's why he said this then... Cuz Tony could just put himself on tv for 9 segments a week and be main focal point if he really felt "oh look at me". I don't think Al is dumb but this is a dumb claim.
AL Snow with the hard truths. He’s absolutely right.
The AEW honeymoon period is well and truly over.
People can see AEW is an indie show that happens to be owned by a rich guy.
Impact Wrestling makes more sense than AEW.
Same thing i said, honeymoon phase is over..😅😅
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Tbf impact is just boring because of their dead crowd and presentation. In terms of storylines and stuff, they've always been better than AEW
MJF has nothing to work with. Tony books him stupid.
Only thing he needs to switch up is his curse words all he says is fuck. Sound like a Lil boy that just discovered a new curse word😂
The because the aew roster sucks !! It’s awful Tony khans a retard aswell which doesn’t help matters
Al Snow should be a producer or on the writing team in WWE. His mind for wrestling just makes total absolute sense
I once said if I was actually in charge of AEW, the first rule I would implement is that Tony Khan has to get off television and off Twitter.
When did you say that?
This is absolutely true. Brian Last made that observation last week too. There's no business benefit here and they aren't legitimate journalists. They're marks complimenting the wrestlers and asking mark questions.
Hhh started doing the same thing what about hhh
@@rollingthunder8223 I don’t like it on either side. Treating wrestling as a mock sport stopped working in the 90’s
@@rollingthunder8223 HHH doesn't sit next to the wrestlers like a child fan, WWE was also doing press conferences years ago. I do hate the mark press scrums after shows for either show.
@@moralesharold87 obviously not because he doesn't hang out with them but hhh is a big mark also
@@rollingthunder8223 He is for NWA type wrestling, but he's not a mark for current day talent, that is the difference.
Seems like Tony is trying to be a little Dana White with post fight press conference. Let the talent speak and then you can have your solo moment.
I like the WWE scrums because Triple H uses it as a state of the WWE address. Moreover, the WWE talent at those scrums answer a few questions and are out.
And he copies tony khan
@@kyleday5026 right? These super fans are just insanely blind wwe never did that till tony started doing them since the first DoN
@@kyleday5026 WWE did media scrums in the 90’s(but with real media outlets) Tony didn’t invent them.
@@kyleday5026Lol you know WWE use to do media scrums but stopped right 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 if you gonna talk shit at least say facts
@@kyleday5026 LOL, wrong. Triple H was doing them after every NXT Takeover since 2014, a full 5 years before Tony ever did one.Tony ripped it off from Triple H. Try again.
No lies told here
Nobody has described Tony khan's mentality better than Al did here. Not corny, bischoff, etc..
Nick Khan calling Tony “the kid”, was a great description. 😂
There was that one scrum where Tony Khan was going in hard on how important CM Punk was to AEW. It was totally unprofessional. Tony was screaming, and swearing how much Punk has done. Tony sounded like the kind of person who is bragging how good they are at Call of Duty. There was one point where Punk had to tell Tony to move on from that and to answer some other questions, it was embarrassing.
Khan is a mark for Snow
@@marcbasil missed the joke there bud
looooooooool
Mad props to Vince for snapping back at the "that's called interrupting" comment from AL. Also mad props to AL for telling it like it really is when it comes to TK and AEW.
"Really I just triggered you but go ahead" 😂😂 this makes for the best dynamic, people who know what they are talking about, who are friends yet still can take the piss out of each other.
Al made a great point about appealing to a niche audience but it seems like in the last 10 years pro wrestling as a whole has become very niche even in the WWE. You used to see more kids and families showing up for a raw taping now its a mostly dudes in their 20's/30's/40's
WWE still has a lot of families attending, i've been there recently.
It lost its mainstream appeal a long time ago.
You should see the aew crowds
1:35... Al's rebuttal to Jeff and I were talking.....😂😂😂
Mjf is great CM Punk is great and the Bucks are terrible lol
Al Snow can outsmart a sociology teacher
No, he puts over the wrestlers and the platform they're on.
Always been a fan of al snow, with him n his head back in the day..🤣🤣
He seems very intelligent n well spoken.. great interview..👍👌👏
What does everybody want?! HEAD!
10 year old me saying that in school not realizing it sound like I want a BJ 😂😂😂😂
If that’s Tony saying “look at me,” what was McMahon having people kiss his bare ass in the middle of the ring? Or writing himself to make out with Trish and other top female stars?
Congrats on not knowing the difference between a storyline and a fucking mark press conference
Al snow is the man for what he’s saying I wanna be hulk hogan and Andre the giant what happened to wrestling today. I’m not sold. With these high flyers 😂😂
Triple H does the same like Tony, he sit near the talents during their media scrum.
Compare how Triple H speaks and conducts himself around his personnel, it's professional. Watching Khan's media scrums is legit amateur hour, no one can listen to Tony Khan without thinking he's full of himself. Massive difference.
@@albionpukeko6927 how exactly is he showing in these scrums that he's full of himself? A genuine question.
@@HelloShitty08 Listen carefully at 4:25 - 5:00. Al Snow perfectly explained it.
@@albionpukeko6927 those are not explanations, those are just opinions that everyone seems to take as gospel here. Also doesn't answer my question.
The scrums aren’t great on either side, but I don’t see wwe exposing the business, wrestlers going into business for themselves, hhh hugging the crap out of talant, and been a paranoid little child.
Everyone involved in AEW sets their own rules.
Tony Khan is the modern day Herb Abrams
All facts from Al Snow. Tony Khan doesn't have the spine Vince McMahon has. Tony is a pushover and that's why AEW is in the position it's in.
McMoustache has socks that are taller than Tiny Tony
lmaooooooo
🤣🥸🥹🤣😎🥸🥸
For a second I thought there was a kid behind Al in the corner. I think it might be a ballon but for a second there I was waiting for him to get jumped by a masked Lucha dor
Al is right,wrestlers today dont seem to want to make money they want to appease 1 person... dave meltzer. because they want the magic 5 stars or above... they seem to forget its a business and the point is to be the main event to make more money..
We again saw the difference in approach from Triple H and Tony Khan's post event conferences after Survivor Series:
Triple H
-makes the lead in
-puts over the entire talent and company
-provides actual figures/news/updates
-leaves, and lets the talent to the talking after
-lasts about less than an hour
Tony Khan
-stays in the center of attention
-"everything's great/I thought we had a great show/we've been on our best run"
-always beside the talent
-lasts nearly 2 and a half hours
Al gave props to Jim Cornette....the greatest Wrestling mind alive!
Facts
I cant remember who, but someone called tony a man-child…i think thats the most accurate way to describe him 😂
Its what happens when you don’t have children. Corny is the same tbh.
@@RandomThings-nc8tw agree! I like cornette he is very entertaining but you can see that those people have nothing "real" in their lives, like you said children for example
Nick Khan called Tony, “the kid”. Don’t think anyone in the wrestling industry respects Tony
Vince mcmahon: "LoOk At Me WiN wItH a FoOtBaLl At WrEsTlMaNiA"
Every one needs to protest al snow for producer or head of performance center .. either in charge of the current productions realness or teaching the future
That couldn't be sed better by al
Nash called the media scrums a gimmick!😂😂
Nah there ain’t no weirdo wrestling fan going to make me go against Vinnie Mac that man gave me so many moments as a kid watching wrestling and giving Eddie that run from 03-05 I’ll be forever thankful.
Wrestling I honestly don’t know what’s happened to it it’s like politics light.
How about when creeper Vince helped cover up Snuka murdering his wife?
Seems I never disagree with, Al. Bottomline is that this guy is a former pro wrestler that understands the business from both ends of it. He thinks before he speaks and he speaks intelligently and practical.
I fully agree with Al Snow.
Hope he's alright though, his voice sounds like Kane's voice machine now 😂
I'm in the Twilight Zone. Vince Russo and Jim Cornette strongly agree on something. We all know Jim would agree with Al Snow, because he's an actual wrestling guy who understands the business and how it works when it generates money. It's just amazing to me that Jim and Vince agree on something so passionately. In general, having a "media scrum" after a wrestling event is idiotic. But if you're going to do it, at least work people. Don't put on a halfway decent show (at least when MJF is around) and then immediately sit down and tell everyone it was fake and stupid and "here's the behind the scenes." What makes MJF MJF is that he's that way all the time when the cameras are rolling or he's in public or online. He suspends your disbelief and pulls you in. No other wrestler today is even attempting to do that. Oh right, one did, and his bosses/coworkers (so stupid) tried to run him out of the company for exposing them and actually drawing decent money by modern standards without the WWE machine.
Russo and Corny agree on a lot actually. Unfortunately as entertaining as Corny is he's also an emotional baby.
@@Stowerslemalu Many guys are more emotional than they like to admit.
Al Snow is the most logical person in the wrestling business I have ever come across.
Tony khan does seem a bit timid
It's a simple as this, Tony wants to put himself on the same level as Vince Mcmahon. He wants that "breakout thing" that makes him a superstar promoter/business person and that's the driving force behind what he does and if there's anything detrimental to that, whether it be from people inside of AEW or anyone outside of it, he take's that very personally and see's it as a challenge to him, and maybe even his family.
Your doing speculation not facts
If that was true the Bucks and Omega would have been stripped of their EVP status after All out and Punk would have been fired.
Al is spot on.
Wow he is really insightful..
Take care of your throat Al..You sound bad man.
Always loved all snow
Thank you Al, someone had to say the truth
I don’t know if there’s a better mind for the business than Snow. He gets it. He knows Kayfabe is dead and keeps things real.
Give him a job then.
💯 per cent
I mean they don't have alternative media present. It's all "We love it and we love you Tony"
It may be but if so I think it's more so he's not looked at like another VM.
Half of the AEW talents should be suspended - the ones that sound stupid on social media or embarrassing the boss.
However, Tony Khan won't act on it
When are they going to get Al Snow a better microphone?
Spot on assessment.
Al Snow is such a great wrestling mind
When i was a kid i wanted to be Hogan/Andre but im just a "mark" according to the virgins or twitter and reddit lol.
Tony really does need to hire someone that has presence; someone to represent the company in the media.
Jim Cornett is trying to reinvent the wheel??? Is it Opposite Day?
Al and Vince are being a little too hard on Tony. He is only gotten so far in 'WWE Universe' in the lastest WWE 2K game. "Depth" will come soon... 😄
Why does Al sound like he has indigestion
I wanna be Hogan/Andre.
i disagree
Tony does a lot of dumb things. Running off Cody Rhodes, putting so much into Jade and having her walk, bringing Shaq in one time, not keeping CM Punk separate on his own show so no problems would arise, not standing up to talent so they respect him, having MJF as champ (dude cannot shut up about WWE and makes AEW look small time), punishing big guys for being big guys and keeping them far away from titles, buying ROH and failing to make that what Collision is now, not having the ref stop that Mox match then coming out to dance while Mox was concussed, and many more things. Dude is tone deaf.
Didn't Russo in WCW do pretty much the same damn thing that Snow is roasting Khan for . In fact , worse . He put himself in the ring with the Workers and had " matches " with them . If memory serves , he won the championship belt at one point . At least Tony Khan is playing with his family's money , Russo was flushing money down the drain that was nowhere near his , BRO !
Russo put himself in the stories. Tony Khan is just further exposing the business with these scrums. It's like a magician doing his act and then having a press conference to explain all the tricks.
Yep
His voice is crazy.
I will never like vince russo but Al Snow is spitting right here
I love Al Snow. One of the best undercard characters of the attitude era that was very over. I guess to hear fresh opinions off him I'll tolerate it having to be via Russo's gimmick.
Wonder how Stevie would break down the Snow Plow... 😉
Tony isn't married I assume?
He doesn't have a girlfriend I assume?
Does he have any kind of relationship with anyone outside wrestling?
Pat Paterson stories I assume are gonna be coming in the future?
He is rich. He can do whatever he wants. He can buy the friends he wants. He can buy the girls he wants.
He dated a cute girl last year, guess they're not together anymore
I’d take this serious more if Vince Russo didn’t put himself constantly on tv and in matches in both tna and wcw. Khan hasn’t been in matches yet and i only see him on tv once in a while
Tony Khan is a goof.
Warner media only has aew on because of the relationships needed for tonys father. If tonys father dies they will be canceled.
Al Snow sounds like a very bitter guy. Sounds like Tony Khan told Al he wasn't a fan and he wasn't going to give him a job.
After insulting TK for two minutes he says its not personal or trying to insult. Lol, sure! There are a lot of experts out there talking about everything Tony khan's doing wrong. Meanwhile he has three shows on network TV and he's turning million dollar profits on a business that just turned four.
Great interview. TK should be running a business not trying to appeal to everyone.
I Honestly disagree. I NEVER, EVER enjoy neither Hogan, nor Andre. My favorite guys, always were more technical guys. Cruiserweights, for example. When a wrestler is known to have "5 moves of death", I switch the channel when such wrestler is on TV. I would go out of my way to see matches of Eddie Guererro, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Norman Smiley and many many other technicians. Over roided monsters who do 5 moves and have NO idea how to sell (Hogan) are BORING to me. Body slam, lariat, legdrop = Yawnfest. Give me Zach Sabre Jr, Marty Skurl, Motor City Machineguns and Jon Gresham.
It is always funny to me to listen to people that the industry is done with and already spit out thinking they know better than anyone that is actually currently involved. LOL Jealousy is a mother fucker. At least they can all still panhandle for scraps with their podcasts.
Snow is correct in his logic, but I do believe situations are different for certain people. Tony has his quirks, but he also has millions. For the situation he's in, he's doing well. Of course he'll make mistakes, especially in the minds of the people who claim to know everything. Curious to see where AEW goes in 2 years.
What happened to Al's voice? Jesus, he's hard to listen to.
He has indigestion
CM PUNK Scrum was 100% work stop it !!
No it wasn't. Put down the pipe.
@@chriskay1449 the hell it wasn't mark
@@terryflaboy4209 IT wasn't a work, MARK. IT absolutely was a shoot. Not my problem you are that dumb.,
Kahn would just be another neck beard mark if it wasn't for his old man
"You know?"
This feels so insecure, these post-game pressers are done in every major sport the viewers learn a lot damn near every time they have one
It does. Insecure and rather bitter. I wonder if Al was turned down for a job or something
@@Doddz321 Right? all these 'legends' definitely dreamed of working backstage in TNA
I think Tony is trying to create a character to displace criticism off of him as a person/owner/boss. Even the douchey haircut seems to play into the character of this mark billionaire kid who lets the wrestlers run the show and has no control.
It's hilarious listening to two of the most insecure people ever in the wrestling business talk about someone else being Insecure. LMAOOOOOOOOO
These mfs are just salty aew won’t offer them a job!
Rubbish. Aew needs a lot of work to be top teir but the scrums create buzz each time so they continue to do them. I wouldnt ever take business advice from russo or snow😂😂
1:52 All coaches do that.
hating lmfao
Al snow has that Bruce Pritchard swag
🤓🤓
The AEW Hate Industrial Complex is alive and well. Glad they are keeping the lights on for you guys. Also, what exactly did Tony say to make you think he wants to be the next Heyman or Cornette when those are on-screen characters? Man, there are so many good criticisms you could have but these aren't hitting like you think they are.
Why burn this bridge when you got talent you want signed at OVW? I got a lot of respect for Al as a performer. His run as European was amazing back when WWE knew the blueprint, that Mr. Russo knew back then two. A solid midcard with interesting acts and a whole lot of stables.
That Al's assessments of the MJF at the scrums are incredibly mark-ish. They're clear parodies of CM Punk and at least in my opinion these and MJF's name drops of Punk are leading to a continuation of the angle between them.
The CM Punk scrum was an absolute disaster on all fronts. Every one followed, sadly followed in hos footsteps and acted unprofessional including Toni Storm, Swerve and Tony himself, not to mention the backstage brawl itself.
That said the other scrums have been flawless unless you're talking MJF and his pickles for face value. Tony and MJF's dynamic up there is like Gorilla and Hennan they're putting on an act.
Are you still in this delusion after 9 months?
they're also for the fans. I love them.
