It wasn't so much lame, but unnecessary. Nor, smart.

He begins making a comparison to AEW being Pepsi. Which it is. But PepsiCo's competition is..... Coca-Cola.

Stolen from wreddit: I hate it when I go to a restaurant and the options are Pepsi and Harvey Weinstein. :lol:

I'm no PR Expert, but here goes :

" AEW is Pepsi to WWE's Coca-Cola, and we're doing the absolute best to show that we are the choice of a new generation. "

Not fucking difficult.

Ok but you have to do it on live TV after snorting amphetamines and chugging about 7 or 8 White Claws. Not so easy now is it?

...

Hey @admin can we rename the WWE Forum "Harvey Weinstein" and this forum "Pepsi" for the weekend? That would be hilarious.

WWE is the Harvey Weinstein of professional wrestling.

And Tony Khan has the balls to call WWE fans tribalists? What a fucking goof.

I mean the company is listed as a defendant…and they did hire Weinstein’s lawyer…and The Rock and John Cena still hang with Vince and defend him…

It’s a pretty clever joke if you think about it for a second.

Anyway, I get why you guys don’t like it and that’s fine. I think it’s an overreaction to a lame joke.

The interviewers’ body language should be a tipoff for how inappropriate that was.

Do you think this is going to get TK/AEW more major platforms to speak on or less?

WWE this weekend : " that's like comparing Coke to Pepsi... "

AEW Tribesmen : " WWE is toxic! See! See! "

I was way more disappointed in this earlier than I am now.

I got to remember that I say off the wall stupid things all the time and this could have easily been me. I'll give him a pass and just assume he was trying to be cute.

It doesn't change one thing. They need someone to take over this stuff. Someone with experience that knows how to do it.

I don’t care. I don’t work for AEW. I laughed when I saw it and moved on with my life until I came here and got compared to a Trump supporter.

Two weeks ago everyone said showing the All In footage was the death of AEW. Next week you’ll all shit on it for something else. I don’t give a shit anymore.

Maybe, they stop giving us a reason to shit all over it....

Wrong thread. 

AEW sucks. 

It's not the actual wrestling anyone has criticised recently, it's the dipshits making the company look stupid.

For every step forward, they take 2 steps back.

Social media is laughing it up today, and this is what casual fans are seeing, there's even memes on Simpsons meme pages laughing at TK.

They need to be smart, and stop letting WWE live rent free.

The fact you can’t separate shitting on TK and shitting on AEW is shocking. You’re smarter than that.

I want AEW to thrive to, whether you believe it or not. The fucking goof is a main driver in why they’re not.

That wasn't my point. I'm well aware. I'm just reacting to what I am seeing posted here.

Just since the Tony video this afternoon:

I’ll leave it here because I don’t want to bash my head against the brick wall, but reading some of the responses across the internet from AEW fans and they’re honestly starting to remind me of the Trump cult.

Apr 26, 2024 21:59:13 GMT NATH45 said:

The problem is, once again on social media everyone is talking about the latest dumbass thing AEW has done instead of any good they've done recently. From a PR AEW is a nightmare.

^I'll give this one half points because "they" likely just referred to TK, but still.

Tony said something stupid in an interview today and anyone that isn't grabbing their pitchforks and calling for his head is apparently part of a cult, so I'm over it. It'll just be something else next week. And the week after that. And the week after that. 

To be fair, c is the first one that compared one side to the Trump/MAGA crew.

The side that “loves” AEW dare not say anything negative. There is a blind love affair, and I get where Todd is coming from.

Yeah I agree. I love AEW but say negative things all the time because I have eyes and ears and a mostly working brain. The one time I shrug something off I apparently have to work PR for the entire company. It’s exhausting.

I’m hoping he wasn’t referring to me in that post but it came across like he was.

Nah, you don’t have to be a PR expert. But it’s a gross thing to say, and it’s extra slimy after TK’s whole “we should be nice” schtick a few weeks ago.

Granted, when WWE does stupid shit - we're all there for it, and they're were mocked for it. TNA became LOLTNA for all the stupid shit they were doing, and were mocked for it.

For some reason, mocking AEW for the stupid shit they do is off limits.

RT AEW should hire you to be their spokesperson. You do a better job than Tony.

Tony is not wrong, WWE had some serious problems, but that is the WWE he is competing with. Tony really needs some PR training if he wants to be the guy in front of the camera, as he needs to build up AEW not cut down WWE.

If you are referring to me, I wasn't referring to you. Apologies if you felt that way. I'm suggesting AEW is a PR nightmare. 

No one stops to think " what would happen if? " when they plan to say or do something stupid. And they wonder why most wrestling fans think TK is a joke and they get so much negative attention. 

How about Tony stops making light of sexual abuse victims, because that was honestly fucking disgusting. They’re not a punchline to a ‘zinger’.

I should have just said cult and not Trump cult, but the point stands. It doesn’t matter what dumbass, incoherent bullshit comes out of his mouth, his supporters don their rose coloured glasses and choose to see it in the best possible light. This is true of Trump and Tony. Look how many times Tony has behaved like an unprofessional douche and is cheered on by his little minions. Already RT has expanded with ‘it’s a pretty clever joke if you think about it’. Like, what? The man just compared Pepsi and Weinstein. What’s the punchline?

I’m not really old enough to remember ECW well, but I have a feeling that was the closest thing to this. It’s always a bit weird when a promotion gets more chants than the wrestlers.

This is my issue, either drop the fight or don't.  You do not get to have this both ways.  Also cannot do this and expect WWE to not punch back.

Just was so unneeded.  Tony really needs PR training of some sort to step back and get a PR director.  I expect this from someone like Ian Rotten or Zandig not someone running a fed on TV.

No we're all good, I was referring to Todd. And judging by his last post I guess he was referring to me.

I'm a proud little minion if it means I get to hang out with Athena all day.

Gonna remind myself not to post here anymore when someone says something stupid on TV and I laugh at it. I'll just go talk about it with my fellow minions. Oh shit, I better delete all my post history where I criticized AEW & Tony Khan a whole bunch of times. Wouldn't want them to see it and think I am not one of them.

Praise Tony. Praise AEW. All Hail The Elite. We are but minions in your shadow, o excellent ones.

No more questions, your honour.

Clearly Tony was just selling the brain damage one gets from the TK Driver...

This is honestly why I pay attention. Tony being Tony gets all my dimes.

Either that or he just couldn’t bare likening WWE to coke.
