Imagine voting for the man responsible for that as the worst promotor
If anyone thinks that someone who can pull in record profits from TV deals while ratings are down, ticket sales were down when they were able to, and still is the biggest wrestling promotion in the world despite how shit the product is definitely gets a lot of credit as a promoter, and if anyone disagrees they need to stop and learn what a wrestling promoter is and stop talking about bookers.
 
No, there have been far worse promoters than him (Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, Triple HGH, etc).

He's the only contemporary wrestling promoter we have in the industry. He has done a good job so far. That's not to say he hasn't made his share of mistakes. He's a smart guy and knows what he's doing. I hope he succeeds in making AEW a profitable wrestling organization that can compete with WWE.
what makes you so sure hes such a smart guy? Or that he knows what hes doing?
 
Jesus Christ my guy you’re really dedicated to painting Tony and AEW in the worse possible light. All you do is talk shit lol. Give it a rest for 2 seconds. You come off as extremely jealous of the guy.

No he’s not the worst. If we’re talking last 10-15 years then I would say Vince is FAR worse. All time I would say Russo.

I don’t understand how you can look at this guy who has given us free wrestling entertainment and some of the best content I’ve seen in a long time and hate him so passionately. The guy is not Satan. He’s a fan who wants to provide for other fans.
Absolutely jelly and its sickening.
 
This is shocking trolling and should have been locked right away. Who is to say this email is even real and even if it is the woman could have some agenda. Maybe if we go by viewers you are the worst promoter of all time. You ever had a million people watching any given week and probably triple that when you add folk watching illegal streams etc. This is just another post aimed at stirring up an argument that you and your pal can contribute to as you like the attention.
 
Nah. He pulled off a 225 million dollar deal with a fading cable network to either fully or mostly bankroll his childhood dream. 5 times bigger than Dixie achieved. He also got said promotion onto the second biggest network in the UK and strong coverage in Europe. Action figures in major stores, video game in development, growing online channels.

For the first six months they were decent for a start up. First burgeoning wrestling company to face both head to head competition from day one and a global pandemic. Had to emanate from an even worse venue than Impact Zone or ECW Arena. But it's reduced production costs.

No guarantee a a tighter roster and more traditional booking would reap rewards in terms of increased viewership: ECW on TNN hit a ceiling, TNA 2007-2012 hit a ceiling, Smackdown in 2002 didn't grow, ROH's national show didn't move the needle, NXT is hovering at 0.65 million viewers.
 
I actually did stop reading there lol.

Like, we get it. Cornette hates AEW, but yet it lives rent free inside his head to the point where he has to come out with 100s of videos spouting the same nonsense. He's an old out of touch bitter old racist cuck. His opinions don't matter and do nothing to make wrestling better.

He just inspires a bunch of other old bitter marks to constantly complain and make wrestling fans look like unhappy morons.

to be fair Cornette has a highly successful podcast whose success bounces off AEW and vice versa.. if you do not think Cornette wants AEW to succeed you are highly off base

You're right, Cornette faked an email just to make Tony look bad.

Give Chip $100 million, a spot on TNT and find out.

The email was real. Deal with it.
 
lol at this thread. It's not really its existence per se, but the relentless persistence, day after day, week after week. At least the old school trolls on RSPW had funny gimmicks.

I have The Wood on ignore which made the board slightly more bearable, now for the other. 2,000 posts in one month between them, seldom with a good thing to say. Imagine they put this effort into liking stuff instead of hating it, they might then be productive members of society.
 
This is by far the most retarded take ever typed on this site. I would classify it as comedy If it were funny at least.

Take a deep breath and go outside man. Tony Khan's success is literally eating you inside as we speak. This man is responsible for bringing joy back into the wrestling industry. Its sad to see post like these. Dont take wrestling so seriously.

Cheers mate.
 
Jealous of what bro? If we're all just jealous and bitter name five things Tony is really good at
Comes off as you being jealous since you're a promoter too,just on the lower tier.jealous of well let's see.....money,tv deal,contracted talent.....

Tony and AEW have single handedly brought me back to wrestling that's all that needs to be said,and I'm not alone in that fact.
