Stephanie McMahon has the most boring twitter account of all-time but she has that marketing/PR speak down to a science. Sometimes no response/PR response is the best response.

Yeah minus that one time she dumbfound tweeted about philanthropy being nothing more than just marketing and branding stuff without realizing how much of a bad look that gave to WWE's own Connor's Cure charity and their work with other charities.

Like its one thing to be very proud of your product like Khan has shown multiple times whenever AEW succeeds but its also another thing to know when to read the room and not respond back or not get into petty arguments like Khan also does a lot of times as well.

Tony DOES know what happened to Bill Watts (who actually booked a Black World Champion) after he said something that was perceived as racist, right?

It's pretty much ALWAYS the best response, especially from the people who actually run the company.

What a fucking moron.

She could teach a class on it. What she's done to change to perception of WWE in the business community is one of the more underappreciated things in wrestling.

The stuff Big Swole mentioned was both true in the sense that AEW could do a much better job highlighting and focusing on their diversity and women's wrestling but also somewhat of a stretch since she pretty much ignored everyone who wasn't black in the company. She totally ignored that Jade Cargill has gotten one of the biggest spotlight treatments in the company since she debuted. She also ignored that she got multiple chances at becoming a bigger star in AEW but things just didn't work out for her in the end for various reasons.

i wish he had someone like dutch mantell running the wrestling and the press interviews. now tony knows what bookers are for to keep you from making an ass of yourself.

Damian Rey 2.0 12-31-2021 10:01 PM

The diversity comment is horse shit. They’re likely about to crown a black female wrestler the first tbs champion after a year of her going undefeated and being booked like a monster. She made it to the end of that tourney by beating an extremely popular and protected Mexican wrestler. A Brazilian women who’s also ridiculously popular is protected. Their first 3 women’s champions were Japanese foreigners and a Native American trans women. The previously mentioned Mexican women is the favorite to be the next women’s world champion.

A foreigner win the TNT title, is featured prominently and booked like a monster. The current tag champs are Mexican. Dante Martin is featured regularly in an in going storyline and Lio Rush has been presented as nothing less than a big deal.

To say there’s no diversity is a bad faith argument. Swole just wasn’t good. She had that one awesome match on dark with diamante. And that’s about it. Everything else she did was ok at best and she’s not better nor does she have a higher ceiling than the women mentioned above except maybe Nyla, but Nyla fills a role Swole can’t.

Tony should go about it a better way. That comment was clearly made to put his foot down on Swole. I don’t think it’s wrong of him to defend his company, especially when such a dumb comment is made. But he shouldn’t be so sensitive. He should stick to hyping the shoes and thanking the fans and letting his PR team handle this kinda stuff.

That's true. And there is no promoter more diverse than Tony Kahn who is Asian American. Vince McMahon is only white, you know?

Supreme Olajuwon 12-31-2021 10:27 PM

Sign Keith Lee and make him world champ for the next 5 years

Problem solved.

Malfeitor 12-31-2021 10:37 PM

Didn’t Swole say in an interview recently that both parties decided to part ways? Then she comes out with this shit?

I’m team TK on this one.

And didnt Khan say this:

But now suddenly her wrestling isn't good? Come on man, we all know what this is. This is Tony once again responding poorly to a tiny bit of criticism. Like flipping out on Fox News, or that female reporter.

Ive said it before about Swole, she is pretty outwardly racist herself with things she has said and the frequency which she plays the race card, but in this case, with THAT response from Tony, he proved her point.

slik 12-31-2021 10:55 PM

Tony should have tweeted something like 'We greatly appreciated Swole's feedback in her exit interview and it's something we have been and will continue to work on in the future -- We value ALL talent.'

But TK gotta TK

Tony has more than enough money to hire someone to handle PR for him. What a dunce.

Bad News Gertner 12-31-2021 11:10 PM

Or just stay the fuck off Twitter. Tony Khan is the owenbrown of Twitter.

screech 12-31-2021 11:12 PM

Yeah. There's being "involved" with the job and interacting with fans, and then there's...whatever the fuck he does. Needs to be reined in a bit.

Bad News Gertner 12-31-2021 11:19 PM

I'm full expecting Tony to reply "FUCK OFF YOU TERRORIST PIECE OF SHIT"!

Vastardikai 12-31-2021 11:26 PM

I can't help but think that some folks are thinking twice about continuing to be booked there. One of the big ones will be Darius Lockhart. (and that dude is easily a better talker and worker than the all of the 4 Pillars. Even MJF.)

Cue the neck beards hating on both of them

XL 01-01-2022 05:22 AM

Favourite thing from this is that he hyped the Street Fight with his remaining characters.

#1-norm-fan 01-01-2022 09:24 AM

Fuck all this shit. His biggest spaz out of the year was when he promoted CM Punk’s Daily’s Place debut. :nono:

Evil Vito 01-01-2022 10:19 AM

Lmfao @ the rumors being true even as Sammy denied he left Pam for anyone

Def an upgrade though.

Of course he promoted CM Punk, CM Punk is white :rofl:

Jordan 01-01-2022 01:00 PM

He left a townie for one of the hottest women in the world. Truly a perfect specimen. He's literally living the best life a person can live. If you could choose to be someone else Sammy Guevara would be a good choice.

1. He's making really good money
2. Doing what he loves
3. Doesn't "work a day in his life"
4. He gets to make love with Tay Conti
5. He's young and has his health
6. He was one holder of the TNT Network Championship

Mr. Nerfect 01-01-2022 02:21 PM

Tony Khan is a fucking clown. He does his company no favors. Good to see his ass finally get dragged for being a moron.

Jordan 01-01-2022 02:23 PM

Tony does lots of favors.

Lol, an upgrade? His ex could have been a really good person that supported his ass when he was nobody trying to make it by wearing a fucking panda head. Tay might be a really cool person too. Or she could be a raging asshole behind closed doors.

Jordan 01-01-2022 02:28 PM

She is a perfect human
