I hope all y'all understand that wrestling is at its best to have more than one option in wrestling just like in any sport and any industry. Its good for the marketplace, fans, wrestlers, etc. When theres one dominant company, its bad for the market. I support AEW to succeed, but they still have work to do.
I've stopped watching because it's a bad look when you allow a guy who was involved in a backstage altercation with another wrestler to proceed with doing the main event, but then you send the other guy home. Andrade was defending himself and Guevara instigated the whole thing.
Agreed. It brings us more wrestling and I'm for that. I just find that Tony is not a man who should be running AEW, he's a fanboy, who borrowed daddy's money to start a company. He's not a leader like Moxley, Danielson, Hunter, etc
@@adamburke4738 I thought it was the other way around. Hence why Andrade is trying to do anything to get fired so he can be with his wife Charlotte. If that’s the case, then the hell with Andrade
And Khan just proved how short-sighted and narrow-minded he really is by releasing the Brawl In CCTV footage. Not only did that do nothing for AEW, but now AEW is facing potential legal repercussions in the United Kingdom as it's illegal to use CCTV security footage for entertainment.
@TheyCallMeMrMaybe yep, the GDPR laws over here are very strict, it's private data, Wembley stadium will not be happy about this either because they are the data handlers.
and then there's Legend Punk, "I shouldn't have talked about it". Man was trying to be as nice as possible, but aew mgmt is such horseshit that everyone's doubts confirmed regarding the mudshow.
Damn, Ariel is spot on with this. People talk about how Tony is and how Ariel should know better. The real question is, how has Tony not heard about Ariel and his work as well? He has been one of the top guys for combat sport (and recently wrestling) journalism out there, because he asks those questions. There is a way to get around those questions, and still be engaging. As he said in this clip, Dana White and a lot of other people have done it, because they realize that is what's best to market themselves and keep stuff behind the scenes. I don't think TK is trying to do this, but he is alienating everyone from watching his product by doing this nonstop.
Totally agree. Also, TK could've watched the interview Ariel did with Triple H or his interviews with MJF to get an idea of what to expect. TK isn't a good face of the company guy, but he won't accept that truth.
Tony feared for his life after this Interview. He's going to release the footage of the interview to prove that Ariel made him fear for his life. Then he is going to have the video removed from the Internet.
I watched a small amount of the interview and I couldn’t watch anymore than 10 minutes of it. Tony Khan answers questions without answering them. He knows how to dodge them…
@@courtney_coburn ive watched plenty of interviews with tony khan, and he literally does it every single interview. Although this interview was the worst one because he doesnt trust ariel at all it seems, while he is an unbiased journalist who asks hard hitting questions to everyone he interviews. Unlike everyone else who interviews Tony Khan. Every interview is him going on and on about upcoming shows and every show that has happened in the past. Let me add I am a fan of AEW so im not just hating on him for the sake of hating on them.
WWE know how to do public relations and the media, they'll get out there with the real journalists of the world whereas AEW are showing themselves to be insular, paranoid and unwilling to talk to anyone who will give them a tough time. Ariel is a proper journalist and it's good that he spoke frankly about being given the run around by Tony Khan. This was another embarrassing situation for him and AEW.
Ariel is bought and paid by WWE. Didn't ask Hunter about Vince, does a voice over for extreme rules, now because people are rightly critical of Ariel he's attacking AEW. He's just doing what his daddy Paul Levesque wants
Tony wasn't even the wrestling savior when they started AEW. He was just the money man. The Bucks, Kenny Omega and Cody where seen more as the saviors when they launched. But now Tony is nothing but a clown with his childish behaviors. So the real savior, ironically, is Vince for shooting himself in the foot with all the crazy allegations and lawsuits, for Triple H to take that spot and be the savior of WWE.
I recall his interview with HHH recently. HHH wasn't opposed to answering the question about the NXT vs AEW "war" and even getting further into what he thinks about AEW. Someone needs to train on how to do interviews and handle the media, he's only comfortable with soft questions.
He literally ask about his relationships with punk. That’s has nothing to do with legal troubles! He even asked how he was doing! Tony knows how interview are.
He literally can't say anything about them. He can't say his feelings about them he can't say nothing. Theres a reason why none of their names are even brought up on the shows. They can't talk about it. Like at all
@@philo2189 like I said tony know how interview go! He went in knowing what was going to be ask! If he wasn’t going to answer those questions y even go! He ask about bray and he ddnt give a straight answer!
@@Baraka_Obama_ I'm on the spectrum myself but I can answer questions and not just dodge them completely I know you were joking but just pointing that out lol
Is he? Thid is actually the first time I've seen this specific clip about the interview and one of his key criticisms about AEW is too many titles, meanwhile, WWE has just about as many titles. Khan is under no obligation to say anything or answer anything he doesn't want fully answer or answer at all. I'll admit it's odd to come on to an interview where you expect to answer questions but interviews aren't just about answering questions, as Khan proceeded to do. How anyone can treat this clip, or Ariel, seriously still, after the week long search of digging for AEW negative talking points with Punk, Cody Rhodes and Josh Barnett during Mania 40 week and yet, isn't biased? Man's a mark for WWE, fucking hypocrite
@@ShaggyFox my comment had nothing to do with “titles” for either company. Ariel gave Tony some perfect criticism about how you are supposed to work with the press to create better optics. Khan doesn’t get that at all.
@1in6win except the titles is one of the criticisms Ariel had about AEW, which he considers part of it and it's bogus. Khan appeared on his show to talk about AEW and he did, Khan is still under no obligation to talk about things, especially if he actually is obligated, NOT, to talk about. You AND Ariel, don't seem to get that
Yeah he doesn’t have to answer the specific questions but he needs to give the interviewer something that’s going to make people want to watch the interview. When HHH did his interview Ariel asked him about Wyatt and Strowman. Braun had almost certainly signed with WWE and Bray if not signed was in contract talks. He didn’t say he’d signed them because he couldnt, but he answered the question as best he could without compromising that and got praised for being so open. It was as good business for him/WWE as it was for Ariel. Tony needs to learn how to do that.
AH 😂 should quit being an ass asking questions he knows TK can't speak on because of litigation. It's a dick move and the only reason he did it is because he's an unprofessional WWE shill who wants to make a narrative that TK is difficult. There are many legit ways to attack TK if you want to. Ragging on him cuz he can't talk about a certain situation which AH KNOWS he can't talk about is manipulative and unprofessional
I listened to that whole interview, and still don't know when and where to watch AEW! You'd think it would come up at least once. Isn't that what everyone listens to those interviews for!?!
@@jakeinator722 Agreed, but AEW needs to step up. WWE has now become even more aggressive in marketing and recruitment under the new regime, but it certainly isn't their fault that AEW has lost steam at almost the same time. I also don't expect WWE to slow down just because it could jeopardize AEW (I think AEW are fine tbh and won't go under anytime soon).
That whole interview was just hilarious. I couldn't believe dude wasn't going to answer anything. I don't think Khan thought of all the ish he'd get into when he bought a wrestling company and the implications it could have when interviews would come around. Just so weird.
Everytime Tiny steps outside of his protective mark bubble he looks like he doesn't belong in a professional setting. Did a shit job representing his company, did a shit job representing himself and dropped the stock of AEW in the eyes of anyone who watched that interview. The fed is doing a good job of crossing over more into mainstream and the MMA world, and anytime the dub dips a toe into non smark infested waters you really start to see where the cracks in the company lie.
Logan Paul, bad bunny, and recently Daniel Cormier were great for breaking through into the mainstream for wwe. Meanwhile aew and specifically Tony khan can’t even get an interview right.
I can understand his frustration, Khan ignored pretty much everything that was interesting. People wanted to find out more about what is happening in AEW and he didn't even say anything. We were even more confused than we were going to the interview. And yeah, WWE is miles ahead, it always was. But Hunter widened the gap even more. They are on a different stratosphere altogether compared to AEW.
I mean WWE is already an established company that knows the media business. I know nothing about AEW but they seem very new in this industry which they are.
Let’s be honest. Tony is a MARK, and he doesn’t know how to run the wrestling business. He’s got such big shoes to fill and he lets guys like punk run rampid on him and he doesn’t have the boss mentality. Aew is fun. And I hope it lasts. But I’m far more into wwe lately. But I want Aew to always be around. I love options.
Tony grew up as the rich kid who was never told no and surrounded by people always telling him what he wanted to hear. Hes no in a world where he's under the microscope and all of a sudden people laughing at him and telling him he's full of shit and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Jim cornette was talking about this they was laughing all over the audio I couldnt hear what he was saying glad it's on here to hear what he was saying jim was laughing so hard 😂😂😂
Dave meltzer and the "real journalists" never get real like this..... this is refreshing and not cos its a negative opinion he has. Its because its real.
Triple H having a great interview vs what Tony did was such and incredibly bad look for aew. Even if Tony was trying to “work” Ariel into a supposedly “work” drama situation, it still makes aew look so unprofessional.
ITV is free (and is available on every TV you buy in the UK via the Freeview service), whereas BT Sport, which airs WWE programming, is a paid subscription service.
Yet more people still watch WWE on BT then AEW on freeview ITV... Also their content on free to air TH-cam is infinitely better, well presented, global and more exciting in every single way then ITV. Next....
I understand Ariel If Tony Khan ain’t ready to share about his feelings or perspectives not the specifics. That’s a difference from a man to a young scared boy Tony should’ve never done that interview
I was hopeful that AEW was going to be a viable alternative. But it's telling when top their talent are leaving and many free agents would rather sign with NJPN or TNA. Maybe Warner should consider a contract with one of those promotions
As somebody who is also a people pleaser and wants everybody to like them, I'm laughing because there is actually a right way to navigate all that, and Tony just makes it so obvious when he's upset, bothered, even petty. Rough to see.
He knows what kind of interviewer Ariel is. He knew these questions were gonna be asked and did the same thing Ariel, you, me, and everyone in this community would do. Say I am not at liberty to go into detail about it. You can ask but I cannot answer. When your in a legal bind like what Tony Khan is in you will keep your mouth SHUT. Anything any LITTLE SMALL thing you say will be held against you. He did a great job in that interview. Too bad Ariel didn’t get what he wanted but when your in a situation (a situation Tony never should’ve allowed to happen) of this magnitude you have no other choice but to dance around it or say no I can’t talk about it and take ADVANTAGE of the OPPORTUNITY to promote your organization. This was a perfect opportunity for Tony Khan to promote AEW and honestly Ariel did him a unbeknown favor because guess what, those who haven’t watched the interview yet or weren’t interested heard what Ariel said here and are now saying “damn I gotta check this out now what did Tony say” now EVERYONE is gonna see what Tony said and while there maybe some who disagree with Ariel there will be some, probably a lot when they sit back and think about it, that agree with Tony Khan.
@@Chrls24.2 Yeah, everyone is checking out the interview now and laughing at Tony like the laughingstock that he is. He’s not a promoter. He’s just a guy that really likes wrestling and has a rich daddy. Tony did no favors for himself by doing the interview except make himself look dumb.
@@ArtsyAllAround spoken like a true WWE nut hugger smh it’s so sad guys like you still are blind to the progress AEW has been making but all good keep listening to crybaby Ariel 😂😂😂
@@Chrls24.2 The interview, in no way, makes improves TK's under-fire image nor does it increase intrigue for his product. They have the toxic locker room atmosphere, as well as a mouthpiece that comes off as insular more than anything else.
@@megaslice23 I never said it would you misunderstood what I said. I said people would agree that he can’t give Ariel the answers that he wants because of the legal situation he’s in. A situation that once again he never should’ve let happen. We know Tony isn’t perfect and should’ve acted like a boss and not a geek but If anything we’re seeing this interview not go in Ariel’s direction which in turn makes him out to be a crybaby. The real question is would he have this same energy towards Vince or Triple H? Of course not. He’s a paid WWE shill. Why would he. Would he have that same energy towards MJF? No in fact MJF immediately told Ariel he can’t answer a question that Ariel asked him and Ariel didn’t make a fuss about it. He clearly has a problem with Tony which shouldn’t be the case because of how gracious Tony has been letting him interview MJF and him so next time you hear Ariel cry about why he’s no longer doing AEW interviews refer back to this video
He gives off the vibe as if we were kids and he doesn’t want anyone to play with his toys. Watching HHH interview just a week prior just makes him look bad in so many ways .
100% agree. TK sounded like he was a detective doing a press conference on a crime that JUST happened and literally had no insight. Lol love TK and AEW but his PR skills are ridiculously off.
I heard the interview from beginning to end it wasn’t a good interview Tony was diverging the questions & Ari is right you don’t have to give the full answer just something for people to give a hunch about.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I didn’t expect very much out of anybody who feared for their life with fight between CM punk and some 12-year-old Hollywood kid made them fear for their life.
This is especially relevant now that Tony “CON” released the all in video and is currently trying to break the record for fastest wrestling promotion to lose its entire fanbase (minus wcw)
Tony only wants his horn tooted and gloats about his money and what he views as his successes, freely expressing himself on his terms, but refuses to take accountability for his failures. End of the day for me, Tony isn't matured as a man and his business in wrestling is proving it loud and clear....the tv show is losing me fast...never thought that would happen with so many talents I respect on board...but here we are.
Tony is just a narcissist that doesnt look like he knows how to run a company but is rich enough to get by. He seems to be the type that will throw a tantrum if something that doesn’t go his way
I agree with everything Ariel said here. TK gotta give him something Ariel isn’t just another reporter he’s made a brand and following of himself. That all said, people have the right not trust Ariel. These are the side effects when you go into business for yourself as he did when he leaked the Lesnar fight hours before UFC was set to announce it.
There is no reason why Tony couldn't say anything about the CM Punk situation. He is just creating more drama by letting the media and fans fill in all the gaps on it. I was watching AEW weekly until this BS happened and I don't blame Punk at all. Those EVPs are immature idiots who only care about themselves and their friends and not the company.
Why didn’t Tony show up with a flak who provides Ariel’s producer with a list of “acceptable “ questions like every other celebrity when they do press?
Been binge watching your videos, great content. Unfortunately, you had to go through with that. Your other guest seems like they knew how to appropriately be on the show. After watching tony on here, he didn't contemplate the concept of the interview plus for the owner of a big wrestling company, you think he'd try to atleast look professional
I hope all y'all understand that wrestling is at its best to have more than one option in wrestling just like in any sport and any industry. Its good for the marketplace, fans, wrestlers, etc. When theres one dominant company, its bad for the market. I support AEW to succeed, but they still have work to do.

I dont talk business publicly but brags about million dollar gates lol
Loves your stuff Ariel. Better days to come my friend.
Let’s be honest. Tony is a MARK, and he doesn’t know how to run the wrestling business. He’s got such big shoes to fill and he lets guys like punk run rampid on him and he doesn’t have the boss mentality. Aew is fun. And I hope it lasts. But I’m far more into wwe lately. But I want Aew to always be around. I love options.
I'm new to this Tony Kahn guy but the more I see of him I bet he doesn't even know what the word "mark" means.
The end of this little tib bit is such a little slap in the face to Tony.
Tony had something, he squandered it and wasn’t aware. Thats where the frustration is with AEW.
Bunch of aew super marks in these comments
They are an embarrassment to wrestling as a whole.
Tony grew up as the rich kid who was never told no and surrounded by people always telling him what he wanted to hear. Hes no in a world where he's under the microscope and all of a sudden people laughing at him and telling him he's full of shit and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Tony Khan and Vinnie Mac are working together I'm convinced.
Jim cornette was talking about this they was laughing all over the audio I couldnt hear what he was saying glad it's on here to hear what he was saying jim was laughing so hard 😂😂😂
Came a long way from the little Ariel that I saw Rampage constantly bully back in the day!
Dave meltzer and the "real journalists" never get real like this..... this is refreshing and not cos its a negative opinion he has. Its because its real.
TK doesn’t have a charisma like Dana or Vince.
He should just delegate the interview tasks to someone else
Difference being is that Dana and Vince are classic macho men, and TK is a millennial.
Triple H having a great interview vs what Tony did was such and incredibly bad look for aew. Even if Tony was trying to “work” Ariel into a supposedly “work” drama situation, it still makes aew look so unprofessional.
At Cody gave Ariel the answer he only could of and Ariel accepted that. With Tony he just was rude and never said anything.
ITV is free (and is available on every TV you buy in the UK via the Freeview service), whereas BT Sport, which airs WWE programming, is a paid subscription service.
Yet more people still watch WWE on BT then AEW on freeview ITV... Also their content on free to air TH-cam is infinitely better, well presented, global and more exciting in every single way then ITV.
Next....
I understand Ariel
If Tony Khan ain’t ready to share about his feelings or perspectives not the specifics.
That’s a difference from a man to a young scared boy
Tony should’ve never done that interview
I was hopeful that AEW was going to be a viable alternative. But it's telling when top their talent are leaving and many free agents would rather sign with NJPN or TNA. Maybe Warner should consider a contract with one of those promotions
AEW sucks😒
Screw AEW😒
As somebody who is also a people pleaser and wants everybody to like them, I'm laughing because there is actually a right way to navigate all that, and Tony just makes it so obvious when he's upset, bothered, even petty.
Rough to see.
Tony ain’t a promoter playa
All Tony Khan did in the interview was promote AEW 😂
He knows what kind of interviewer Ariel is. He knew these questions were gonna be asked and did the same thing Ariel, you, me, and everyone in this community would do. Say I am not at liberty to go into detail about it. You can ask but I cannot answer. When your in a legal bind like what Tony Khan is in you will keep your mouth SHUT. Anything any LITTLE SMALL thing you say will be held against you. He did a great job in that interview. Too bad Ariel didn’t get what he wanted but when your in a situation (a situation Tony never should’ve allowed to happen) of this magnitude you have no other choice but to dance around it or say no I can’t talk about it and take ADVANTAGE of the OPPORTUNITY to promote your organization. This was a perfect opportunity for Tony Khan to promote AEW and honestly Ariel did him a unbeknown favor because guess what, those who haven’t watched the interview yet or weren’t interested heard what Ariel said here and are now saying “damn I gotta check this out now what did Tony say” now EVERYONE is gonna see what Tony said and while there maybe some who disagree with Ariel there will be some, probably a lot when they sit back and think about it, that agree with Tony Khan.

Yeah, everyone is checking out the interview now and laughing at Tony like the laughingstock that he is. He’s not a promoter. He’s just a guy that really likes wrestling and has a rich daddy.
Tony did no favors for himself by doing the interview except make himself look dumb.
@@ArtsyAllAround spoken like a true WWE nut hugger smh it’s so sad guys like you still are blind to the progress AEW has been making but all good keep listening to crybaby Ariel 😂😂😂
@@Chrls24.2 The interview, in no way, makes improves TK's under-fire image nor does it increase intrigue for his product. They have the toxic locker room atmosphere, as well as a mouthpiece that comes off as insular more than anything else.
@@megaslice23 I never said it would you misunderstood what I said. I said people would agree that he can’t give Ariel the answers that he wants because of the legal situation he’s in. A situation that once again he never should’ve let happen. We know Tony isn’t perfect and should’ve acted like a boss and not a geek but If anything we’re seeing this interview not go in Ariel’s direction which in turn makes him out to be a crybaby. The real question is would he have this same energy towards Vince or Triple H? Of course not. He’s a paid WWE shill. Why would he. Would he have that same energy towards MJF? No in fact MJF immediately told Ariel he can’t answer a question that Ariel asked him and Ariel didn’t make a fuss about it. He clearly has a problem with Tony which shouldn’t be the case because of how gracious Tony has been letting him interview MJF and him so next time you hear Ariel cry about why he’s no longer doing AEW interviews refer back to this video
Tony Khan doesn't do business in public but he sure as hell has issues with getting into twitter beefs with Jaguars players.
He gives off the vibe as if we were kids and he doesn’t want anyone to play with his toys. Watching HHH interview just a week prior just makes him look bad in so many ways .
100% agree. TK sounded like he was a detective doing a press conference on a crime that JUST happened and literally had no insight. Lol love TK and AEW but his PR skills are ridiculously off.
I heard the interview from beginning to end it wasn’t a good interview Tony was diverging the questions & Ari is right you don’t have to give the full answer just something for people to give a hunch about.
Why is Nottingham Forests badge on his computer?
That's saying something considering he interviewed mayhem miller!
Big AEW fan, and 100% agree with Ariel
Ariel your the man don’t let khan n dana n whom ever else stop you budfy
You’re
He can’t answer a question because he doesn’t know anything about wrestling
Some of you aew fans are absolutely beyond delusional
But then he tweets to Ariel “You’re a Fraud” aww. 😂
Maybe Tony is over-playing super mario bros, cuz he don't wanna talk about it.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I didn’t expect very much out of anybody who feared for their life with fight between CM punk and some 12-year-old Hollywood kid made them fear for their life.
This is especially relevant now that Tony “CON” released the all in video and is currently trying to break the record for fastest wrestling promotion to lose its entire fanbase (minus wcw)
Funny how that HASN'T happened
@@ShaggyFoxwhat hasn't happened?
@@outlawent9664 reread the original comment. Funny how he's quick to dismiss WCW
@@ShaggyFox Yea AEW will never be able to fill WCWs boots.
@@outlawent9664 in terms of going out of business, I agree
He even put over Dana! The mma guys really bullied Ariel and until Tony pro wrestling was treating him with a lot more respect
Tony only wants his horn tooted and gloats about his money and what he views as his successes, freely expressing himself on his terms, but refuses to take accountability for his failures. End of the day for me, Tony isn't matured as a man and his business in wrestling is proving it loud and clear....the tv show is losing me fast...never thought that would happen with so many talents I respect on board...but here we are.
Maybe Tony Khan isn't a fan of Wildmutt from Arrow. 😂
Punk was right, Tony Kahn is a total clown.
Tony is just a narcissist that doesnt look like he knows how to run a company but is rich enough to get by. He seems to be the type that will throw a tantrum if something that doesn’t go his way
Should let Jericho or MJF do all the publicity stuff..
I agree with everything Ariel said here. TK gotta give him something Ariel isn’t just another reporter he’s made a brand and following of himself.
That all said, people have the right not trust Ariel. These are the side effects when you go into business for yourself as he did when he leaked the Lesnar fight hours before UFC was set to announce it.
What being an investigative journalist, gfy you pleb, you are the wet dream of Joseph Goebbels!
There is no reason why Tony couldn't say anything about the CM Punk situation. He is just creating more drama by letting the media and fans fill in all the gaps on it. I was watching AEW weekly until this BS happened and I don't blame Punk at all. Those EVPs are immature idiots who only care about themselves and their friends and not the company.
Tony does more to get higher ratings for WWE than WWE does
This is why tony lost his two best guys to wwe Cody and punk he can’t even do an interview 😂
TK was as high as a kite during their interview.
Forbidden door be close
Can I buy a vowel? Jesus Christ!!
I like the guy but he shouldn’t be in a position of power he’s just a fan like the rest of us
Why didn’t Tony show up with a flak who provides Ariel’s producer with a list of “acceptable “ questions like every other celebrity when they do press?
Tony is the social cues just found out about this shit meme
Been binge watching your videos, great content. Unfortunately, you had to go through with that. Your other guest seems like they knew how to appropriately be on the show. After watching tony on here, he didn't contemplate the concept of the interview plus for the owner of a big wrestling company, you think he'd try to atleast look professional
Why Ariel kinda sound like Tony a tiny bit tho 💀
