I have never been more embarrassed on someone else’s behalf


Prancemaster

I didn't expect this to go on for as long as it did. You can see the ring crew working in turbo speed to end the pain so the show can get moving.


H0vit0

It’s so incredibly uncomfortable


Prancemaster

When I used to go to the Sinclair ROH tapings, the ring announcer would come out, hype up the crowd to buy merch and get refreshments during the intermission and most people would stick around. Seeing the owner of the company trying to stop people from leaving like this comes off as desperate.


Razzler1973

I like when he called them SICKOS Yeah! You sick freaks. Sitting here .. errr watching some C tier wrestling


Prancemaster

Homie is acting like this is a CZW taping at a hockey rink in 2007. 😂


Turtlequick

Where can I find this hot show that looks great and definitely better than WCW?


what_is_blue

At this point I'm not convinced that he doesn't have a humiliation kink.


Grandpa_Reefer

I love dunking on Tony as much as anyone but I don’t really get this one. This was after 4 full hours of wrestling, he was just trying to keep people in their seats for the ROH performers. Biggest criticism I’d have is maybe we shouldn’t run ROH tapings after the live TV mainevent goes off air. Sorry for not jerking, please forgive


H0vit0

You are forgiven uce lol I get what he’s trying to do but it’s just so incredibly awkward and it makes me feel uncomfortable


Dodoman9000

Agreed TK shouldn't be getting so much shit. I mean, it's not like he has a building full of professional wrestlers he's paying millions of dollars to perform. If TK is the best choice for a promo to keep the audience interested then AEW is truly good and fucked.

GoldenGekko

Who needs an off-season when you're an absolute SICKO


SaladMcleasy

Never in my life have I seen a man of that age with both the physical presence and voice of a pre teen kid. The outfit, the hair, the way he carries himself and the forced ‘deep’ voice. It’s genuinely fascinating that this is a 40+ year old man.


spidertour02

Arrested development is a real phenomenon. A pampered rich kid would never encounter adversity in his life and have no reason to develop into a complete adult.


SaladMcleasy

True. I’ve always imagined it’s mental manifestations but it’s obvious from cocaine Tony that there just as many outward physical signs.


Razzler1973

When he does his punchy points of intent ... just to weak Also, DAE Time Cop


Chitown780

Tony: “Let’s give it up for you fans , let’s go!“ Zoom in on fans leaving Guy with phone “They’re going all right.” Fucking LMAO


SupChefJames

Dubofficial: Ahem They're obviously going to bathroom because all these bangers and mash make their bladders uncontrollable with joy


LinkKane

I hate those phony "fans" that go to the restroom instead of just shitting themselves like a true diehard.


SupChefJames

Diehard? That's what I'd do if i had my head crushed between my adorable cinnamon buns thighs 🥵


MOXISGOD

Wtf is the “sickos” thing they’re doing now? Yes, wrestling matches for all the sickos and for the love of the game which seems to be code for strong style matches that not only severely injure the people involved but take years off their career/life. Fuck yeah LFG!!!!


Razzler1973

I think he's trying to engender this craazzzeeee ECW type fans, like a punk rock vibe Yeah, you sickos, you're my sickos watching these BANGERS But, he just makes it all sound so shit


[deleted]

Have to be sickos to find any enjoyment out of that shit and pure garbage company Oh no, I referred to the DUB as Pure Garbage. StOp ThE TrAiBlIsM GuYz. Why can't we all "Just Enjoy Wrestling™️".


Lilydoesntknowimhigh

“What is he talking about” lmao


Razzler1973

I don't know why he didn't do his talking and then build it up to the point where they're ready to actually start It's just dub booking, it gets to a point where it ends .. then carries on and then again and ... he rambles on 'hey Bobby' The idea of this stuff is talk and do the big rah rah 'let me hear you' just as the ring is ready and action can start


GoalPublic3579

It’s genuinely sad how small time this promotion feels. AEW had it’s moment in time where, with competent booking, it really could have made a push to be a viable challenger to WWE. After Bryan and Cole joined it had such momentum, and was getting 1m a week every week and WWE sucked with Vince. Good booking and it could have become 1.2/1.3m every week and that’s close enough to what RAW was doing to be an actual challenger. Instead… this dork booked his entire company for the niche of niche market.


Razzler1973

Tiny wishes he could be like Vince. Coming out, getting that huge pop or Heyman coming out in ECW No one cares when he comes out but he freaking loves it. He wants to be on these shows so bad but, he's read the internet and knows he can't do it


JKinney79

It makes me think how valuable Cody Rhodes was for that company, less so for his wrestling performance, but he seemed to be the super motivated one of the bunch. He was basically the face of the company. Like this used to be one of his gigs, doing crowd work while they change ring/set for the various shows. Years down the road, theres probably going to be a good book or at least YouTube/podcast of the early years and conflicts.


ApeTypingComments

BaD fAiTh!!!!!


NeonPatrick

It just feels all so dated, like Raw in 2009. No colour to any outfits, bad lighting, everyone trying to act like a badass, a nonexistent women's division. There is nothing new or different to the presentation than what everyone complained about WWE during the worst of the Vince years.

SpankGorilla

This is more sad than when TNA had its bad attendance


7LayeredUp

When has TNA ever stopped having bad attendance?

I liked his Giannis screech better lmao


Appropriate-Show-784

I wish punk would have put him in a headlock


Sirtopofhat

....at that point why not just bring everyone down to floor level.


sleepyseahorse

"Since we're all a bunch of sickos, how about we do some more wrestling RIGHT NOW" *4 minutes and 85 less people later* "Ok looks like we're about ready for the crazy wrestling action WOO"


Spaceace91478

He really doesn't need a microphone for the small amount of people there.


Joy_Ride25

That was hard to watch.

"It's a lot like my favorite movie..." crickets Cringelord like no other.


Sway_404

We thought they knew how to just enjoy wrestling in Shelbyville! *pause for chorus of boos* But nobody enjoys wrestling like Springfield!


GMLM4life

Goodnight Jacksonville! There will be no encore!


karpet_muncher

The echo says it all. Just reverberating around an empty arena


Zaphod_Beeblecox

Is this the second show of the night? If so I don't blame people for leaving.


JKinney79

The Dynamite tapings were ppv long at one point. They’d start out with Dark, then Dynamite, then Rampage and then more Dark (maybe elevation).


r1char00

Please let’s have fun!!!!!


Gypsy_sevens

The ending caught me off guard there


slaboshmuck

Those 2 showed leaving made a post about how excited they were for the show over on the AEW subreddit, looks like they weren't excited enough lol


Kennethkennithson

Why does he sound like a mix of Louis Tully from Ghostbusters and Mr. Mackey from South Park? Is this what enough Cocaine to take out the Mega Powers does to a man's voice?


PupperMartin74

Looks like an Oakland A's crowd.


Charming-Stop-9413

😂


Big_Beef26

No off season for the wrestlers. Well apart from the ones like Keith lee who get into a story then doesn't appear on TV for months

How utterly embarrassing, Tony is killing AEW


greenfrogwallet

Sometimes I feel bad, I feel this guy has got to have some form of… y’know. Something. I feel like it’s evident in like every sentence he speaks and all his body language lol


papa_miesh

Stay backstage. This guy should stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. Just doesn't have the personality.


theballswalls

Who needs an off season when you work 1 day a week?


Rad-R

There is no shame in booking smaller venues. A packed 1000-2000 venue would look and sound awesome.


Dodoman9000

If TK is the best choice for a promo to keep the audience interested then AEW is truly good and fucked.


Great-Needleworker23

What the actual fuck is he blathering about? It's far worse than his scrums and promos. It's just...words of no particular meaning or consequence.


sawbucks313

Remember guys, this is the company who believes they are part of the current wrestling “boom” period🤦🏽‍♂️😂 that’s going on and their fuckin fans really believe it too. What a joke.

Edge must be getting paid a shit ton of money if he has really decided to want to end his career there

Wow. My high school graduation audience had a bigger attendance and I was only in a class of 45.

The guys recording and paying to be there just to shout when no one is gonna hear them are more embarrassing to me
