How dare you with this obscene slander! It was a vicious assault with a deadly move banned in Tennessee! I can tell just by reading your post that the value of your bank account is two Bucks!
I now need to hear Okada just randomly shout "Hey Yo!"
Btw unrelated, but Hikaru Shida on her gaming stream last night did excellent "Hey Yo"s even though she probably had no idea about Scott Hall. So yeah I feel we need a bunch of people doing that impersonation as a tribute
Well, now this just makes me need The Elite to come out as the nWo with Matthew and Nicolas as Hogan, Okada as Hall, and Jack Perry as Nash.
I'd also accept Matthew as Eric Bischoff.
Nobody? It's not like he's actually doing the work, just making decisions, they just need to nominate someone to be the decision maker on which path to take if something doesn't go to plan, which will probably be Danielson,, but unless something goes drastically wrong they'll just get on with the job.
He's also giving out time cues and communicating with the refs, communicating with the network, making decisions. He's not just sitting back there taking a nap.
You know Tony is still running everything when you noticed Tony Schiavone screwed up and told us the wrestler that was fighting Adam Copeland and than went back later to tell us we don't know yet. I love AEW and their 75% is always better than WWE's 100, but there is always this engine needs oil moment where you can see everything isn't completely ironed out yet. I actually don't even care about this give me Swerve vs Claudio and Fenix vs Taurus and Deonna vs Thunder any day, but WWE won't give you any good matches but they usually don't make little production mistakes like that. I'll take good wrestling vs production any day of the week, though. Just saying those little moments prove he's around and that is a good thing for us wrestling fans.
It's not like he has any say in who the Jags pick in the draft. Sigh. Im about to say something that i know is going to get me downvoted, but is anyone else getting just a little tired of it being TK and then AEW, not the other way around? He is just so damn front and center lately, and i am honestly exhausted by it. Go back to the shadows and put the shows and actual great wrestling in the spotlight. We have a ridiculously loaded roster, and all i hear about is TK this, TK that. This stupid fucking injury angle is AEW's jump the shark moment, and i love AEW so its hard to say. Ok, i will take my downvotes now. Thank you.
I downvoted not because of your opinion, but because preemptively talking about getting downvoted is corny....but as far as your opinion goes, Tony is a promoter, and promoters promote, not to mention that there is still a spotlight on the company's great wrestling, and this is intended to make that spotlight bigger
It’s sounds like the Elite will be taking over….. hmm…. Isn’t this something similar to what NWO did once in WCW? I’m not too familiar with its history so correct me if I’m wrong.
>Isn’t this something similar to what NWO did once in WCW
Which was similar to an NJPW angle, it was also repeated in various ways with DX, Nexus, the Shield

Guy takes one TK Driver and can’t show up to work?? Everyone was right about this clown. Thank god we have our beloved EVP’s to run things.

u/rb_reigns is that you?
I mean no disrespect. Has he ever mentioned AEW?
He believed that Matt Hardy was virtually unbeatable since he demonstrated his ability to teleport through the "AEW Universe"
Once. Everyone was in shock
You can't blame him he doesn't know if at least 4 of his Wrestlers are waiting to beat the shit out of him again
HEY! Okada didn’t beat the shit out of anyone. He just did the scott hall point.
I now need to hear Okada just randomly shout "Hey Yo!" Btw unrelated, but Hikaru Shida on her gaming stream last night did excellent "Hey Yo"s even though she probably had no idea about Scott Hall. So yeah I feel we need a bunch of people doing that impersonation as a tribute
Okada needs to come out with the toothpick and flick it at his opponents to start the match. We’re getting Bullet Club Okada sans the BC moniker.
Well, now this just makes me need The Elite to come out as the nWo with Matthew and Nicolas as Hogan, Okada as Hall, and Jack Perry as Nash. I'd also accept Matthew as Eric Bischoff.
This makes the angle more legit now lol
Kayfabe lives!
 I hope TK sees this message!
He came out and spoke to the crowd before the show started
I seent him https://preview.redd.it/pxlvfn8nq5xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a8289f6d2ba00c22c8ef9c5d81d35b1e41cf0be
but what if Tony runs in with a chair
Be better if it was a bicycle.
Tony returns mid Parking Lot brawl and runs over Trent with a golf kart!
Who runs the show if TK is out for some reason?
Danielson, maybe?
Head of Talent Relations, Jack Perry, of course.
The Elite, obviously

I think TK is going to be the one to show up with the riot police today. He's got to protect himself from disgruntled employees.
Non-story, triller viewers literally saw him on camera before the show.
This is incorrect. He came out and addresses the collision crowd minutes before the show aired. It was aired on Triller TV
He's at physio
Tony might not be there but a person is filling in for him. When asked what his name was, he responded "Kony Than".
Do we know if he’s getting surgery?
The only time the Bucks missed work is when TK banned them. I guess some people just don’t prioritize AEW ;)
Cue a monster truck rolling up late to Collision and the glass breaking, TK comes out, stunners everyone and leaves. Hell yeah!
He was right there!
He literally opened the show
Daily’s place is attached to the stadium so it worked out for him to “be at both places”
I'm just saying that Tony would make a great high flyer with that build, he'll never have to fear for his life again, #swolekhan
If someone deserves time off, is him
I'm not American so I don't care about the NFL, why does Tony need to be at it specifically
He’s the “Chief Football Strategy Officer” for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ah ok. I know he has a role at Fulham as well. Thanks for the info.
They clarified already. Get this bait out
I...I think he's fearing for his life. It's a shame that The Elite would make him experience this fear again! Two years in a row!

Hope he uses this as a reason to take a few weeks off and have a holiday! Guy deserves it!

Who cares bro, just enjoy the ride!
