With Vince not in the picture, what is Tony Khan/AEW's gimmick???

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I don't think they were ever supposed to be anti-establishment or anti WWE, that was something cooked up in the minds of in the bubble wrestling fans. If anything it was supposed to be an "alternative" and since H is trying to book to the same smark crowd now we'll see how that changes.

Stop it

Stop it

I mean, this is a horrible & embarrassing promo, but the OP is talking about what AEW was "built on" being anti WWE and this video happened 2 years into AEW's existence so there's no correlation.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Yeah nah....Cody smashing the throne, "we aren't going to hire a bunch of WWE guys", the constant comparison in interviews by everybody "Elite"

There was a clear "us vs. them" Trumpian style banner that was waived, whether or not it was good for marketing etc is a different convo. We can't rewrite history now just because Vince got horny

Nah. The "us vs. them" started before AEW ever ran its first show. Haitch called them a "pissant company" on TV 2 months before CAWdy ever smashed the throne @ Double or Nothing.

The throne shyt is CAWdy being CAWdy and that was his gimmick long before AEW ever started.. not to mention he's a self-admitted HHH mark.

Some Indy guys found a mark with money and ran his pockets and others followed That’s the gimmick

 

[RammerJammer]

The exact same except it’s no longer the alternative for fans that only wanted AEW to succeed so WWE could get its shyt together.

 

[Raw Sauce]

AEW is the super indy promotion and still a place where people can work and still be seen outside of the WWE. It's generally not my kinda thing for a number of reasons, but I'm glad they exist.

They werent. Theyd make the occasional joke but a lot of that was Cody's shyt. The Young Bucks troll at times but didnt use that sledge hammer on the throne. The AEW/WWE beef is every bit as fabricated as the East Coast/West Coast beef of the mid 90's.

ill take that Kevin Owens vs Chad Gable match on Raw over anything AEW has done in the past few months

WWE hate train is gonna be crazy but it has to come


The love fest right now is overwhelming, naturally a correction will happen. You’ll start to see people build their online personas around trashing anything Triple H does similarly to what Max does to AEW. It’s inevitable…


AEW’s hate train was birthed as a direct reaction to their elitist cult-like fanbase and the love fest that surrounded that company. With everyone slobbing WWE down right now, even the dirt sheets - that storm is brewing. Trust me

Bryan vs Garcia last week clears

 

[Remy LeBreh]

AEW is the company where Tony Khan can hire people to be the friends that he never had in high school.

I still don't understand how AEW diehards have been so accepting of this shyt. A breh asked me "what's wrong with TK being an emotional man?" If he did that shyt to a woman it would be an unwanted sexual advance
Picture HHH hugging Kross in the ribs, with his eyes closed
With the way he books women I'm positive TK has some sick, deviant shyt going on that we'll find out when Dub folds.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Being anti-WWE was something marks made up. They were always the alternative, just like Impact before it.

 

[Larry]

Y’all really get on Dean Malenko’s internet and lie


AEW was on some fukk the opps shyt from day one. Tony is on record saying he was literally trying to recreate the war like atmosphere that existed with WCW and WWF…

Don’t play that “something the marks made up” shyt now





I’m not mad at it. Smart business model. Proven to work.. let’s not pretend it ain’t exist tho.
