@MrEddieGillette Just wait until they aren’t with AEW anymore and the MVP criticism of Tony starts. Although we know a few journalists will ignore him then.

MVP has been crying about Triple H for years. Vague little teasers. We all waited for the big reveal. What could it be?
Triple H said "I'll get with you in a little bit.’.. Always had something come up.
That's it?!
And Tony Khan infamous for ghosting and ignoring talent 😂
EliteRockerz 𝕏@EliteClubS0B
MVP says Triple H repeatedly ignored him and Bobby Lashley backstage, which ultimately led to both stars deciding to leave WWE. “I don't like Triple H, I think he's a coward and a liar. There were multiple times I tried to talk to Triple H, and he would always say, ‘I’ll get with you in a little bit.’ “Bobby couldn’t get Triple H on the phone. Triple H wouldn’t give Bobby any one on one time. Bobby wanted to talk to Triple H about, ‘Hey, what’s my direction? What am I doing here?’ But Triple H always had something come up. “So I told Bobby while we were sitting in catering, ‘Dog, I’m not going to re-sign. Don’t re-sign either. You, me, and Shelton should go to AEW. Let’s go.’ “I was in Bobby’s ear every week. ‘Bobby, let’s go, dog. Let’s get Shelton and head across the street.’ It finally got to the point where Bobby was like, ‘Yeah, you’re right. There’s no future here for us.’ “So my contract ran out. Bobby’s contract ran out. We chose not to re-sign. Contrary to what some people might say, that was our decision.” (Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze)

@EBischoff Exactly, but ppl think he’s only been like that since AEW came along when in reality it’s always been there. Maybe not as obvious as it is now but definitely there.
English
It's been his pattern for decades. It's certainly not anything new, or unusual for that matter.
Raj Giri@TheRajGiri
If Dave is using his opinion as fact on this - when I can 100% say isn't true - it makes you wonder how many other times he's done that.
English
@Switchblade97 He’s saying they’ll stay on post merger, no one has said they won’t. It’s that they won’t be renewed when that time comes. Thats 2 different things.
English
@IndigoGordon There is saying everything is great and then there is saying 100% they will stay on Paramount. The latter requires certainty.
English
I can't see how Tony Khan would say this if he hasn't at least had the conversation with Ellison after receiving a certain heads up from WBD, prompting him to have this convo with Ellison. How else would the uncertainty of Paramount be better than TBS/TNT splitting?
Jon Alba@JonAlba
Tony thinks this is better than WBD splitting up TBS/TNT.
English
@ratedrkliq @DamodharanV2 They think that just because AEW fans are the weight of 2 ppl that makes the attendance double.
English
@nicklopiccolo @PWStream But…but…but….Tony and Ellison are best buddies according to Tony & AEW fans because Tony is the son of the owner of one of the least important NFL teams.
English
@PWStream I will bet him anything on earth, in this life, anything. ANY-THING, my kidneys, ANY-THING. Ain't no way Paramount keeps AEW + offers a new deal. No chance. Pin it

@jimmykorderas It’s AEW and its video game wrestling. These guys never know when the right time to end a match is.
English
If Swerve is going over, the match should've ended after that counter then the top rope stomp!
English
It only just beats WWE’s developmental in ratings and AEW fans come out with nonsense like AEW is currently at WWE 1998 levels of momentum. Fuck, it’s not even back to AEW 21/22 level. Pure delusion with these ppl.
SkyTel@SkytelWrestling
WWE likely won't ever go out of business - but you can't walk away from a show like tonight, and comparatively to TKO's output the last few months, and not completely understand why I continue to say, AEW is in a WWF 98 spot momentum wise, while WWE is sitting at fall 99, WCW.
English
@SkytelWrestling WWE 98……don’t be ridiculous. It’s not even got the momentum AEW had itself in 21/22.

@IndigoGordon @JonAlba Tony Khan literally said he’s already had multiple conversations with Ellison.
English
@VicNeumann1 I think it was because Tony felt he owed Darby a run for doing Everest last year and he had to try squeeze it in here because Osprey will be getting it soon for quite a while. Ridiculous reason i know but that’s why I think Tony did it.
English
So, MJF won the AEW World Title back after losing it to Darby Allin just over a month ago. If the plan was to have MJF walk into All In as champion, why bother putting it on Darby in the first place?
For the record, that’s now 5 title changes over the last 10 months. (1/3)
English
@prowrestletimes See his weakness of tapping out to O’Reilly’s ankle lock suddenly magically disappeared.
English
Mox always gets all of his losses back and when people glazed him for “putting guys over” in the C2, he won the goddamn title regardless and beat the people who beat him.
Match was a Mox match, this adds nothing but time to the show. #AEWDoN

@TheRajGiri “If it’s a WWE thing Dave assumes the worst”…..are you only just noticing? He’s been like that for 40+ years.
English
Thanks to Paul B for sending this, this is Dave's actual quote: "it is interesting that by usage of that ICE thing that they (WWE) managed to turn him babyface to many, many people and kinda created a story that he never punched the guy and all that".
Again, I never once heard from or contacted WWE PR on this, Dave just made this up in his mind. And that's the thing with him. If it's a WWE thing, he assumes the worst. If it's AEW, they get the benefit of the doubt
Raj Giri@TheRajGiri
I heard a clip of Dave talking about my Ludwig Kaiser story. And this is a perfect example of him stating stuff as fact when it's not true at all. He made it sound like it was a WWE planted story. I usually never discuss sources, but I will say this. I was never once contacted by WWE PR regarding this, and I never reached out to them.
English
@ringsidenews_ Doubt Wembley will want them back next year if this years attendance keeps tracking towards low to mid 30k. There’s a reason why tickets didn’t go on sale & Wembley not list the event until mid March because they were hoping to fill that date with something else that sold bigger.
English
Do you think AEW should keep All In at Wembley Stadium permanently? ringsidenews.com/tony-khan-wont…
English
@WestHam_Central What did for West Ham was this particular run of results. 3 potentially winnable home games and 1 away game against bottom of the table Wolves who were still winless at this point. Only 1 point from 12 screwed you up because tougher fixtures to end the season.
English
@TheRajGiri A lot. He just isn’t getting away with it as much now n today’s social media age.

@UnlikelyAdrian @prowrestletimes The thing with ppl saying AEW could run something in the US on the week of Mania, what happens if AEW book something but then because of the troubles in the Middle East we see WWE move it back to America.
English
@prowrestletimes The question wasn’t asked because I was comparing the impact of WrestleMania to a AEW event, I said under the very specific circumstances of WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia would this be a possibility because I do think it is and think it would be successful.
English
21k approx fans.
There have been RAW’s that have done 17k in the last year.
AEW doesn’t shift entire economies of whatever city/state they’re in because of the influx of fans, which is the only reason WrestleCon / Mania week works..
Adrian Hernandez@UnlikelyAdrian
@prowrestletimes There was more than 20k there
English
@TheRajGiri That was true a couple of years ago, but since he’s re-signed with AEW he’s been one of its top cheerleaders. “The roster is the best ever, Tony is so smart etc etc…”
English
I love this quote from MJF to CBS Sports. I hope he becomes a coach when he retires. He doesn't need to teach anything in-ring, but his input on being a character and protecting it would do a lot for young talent.
"I see guys, they're on TV, and then they go on Twitter and write, 'Oh my God, I just had such a great match with so-and-so. I've had so much fun at work these last couple of weeks.' It makes me want to vomit. It's disgusting"
English
@InThemDrawls @nodqdotcom Things like viewership and attendances tell you.
Why do think AEW actually is on fire now?
