Hannibal Scorch

Actually I wasn’t having a pop at anyone in this thread. I even wrote where I took issue, and it was with social media, we’re all in pretty much agreement here about the sensibilities of what Tony said, and how that relates to the bigger picture. It is funny though that anyone else that said similar to me haven’t been singled out but I have. Almost like some people have an agenda based on who spoke not what was spoke.

Absolutely weird flex, very on brand. Are you aware where I called him a twat?

And as I said in my original comment, I don’t agree with him saying it, and that he’s a twat for saying it. Just seems people can’t read or just want to make a cheap quip to get a few likes.

Is it the same/in relation to this one https://www.ringsidenews.com/2024/04/01/accuser-janel-grant-claims-coercion-in-alleged-love-letter-to-vince-mcmahon/

Considering I’ve referenced a legal document and nothing more I think I’ll be ok thanks. But you think people are sickened by the Vince allegations? I think nearly everyone here is. And I think where you get your views and opinions from on that is interesting. Because if you look at Twitter, look at the replies to anyone who has posted the clip, you’ll find a lot of people saying 1)She’s suing him for money 2)He’s innocent until proven guilty 3)AEW hired Jericho/Flair/Callis etc 4)It’s all made up Same within Facebook groups. It’s the same bullshit because quite frankly it’s too grim a situation to want to talk about (see also Ashley Massaro). @Vamp you have a great take on it. I even said He’s a twat for saying it, because I think he is. He sure likes to take a lot of pages out of the Eric Bischoff playbook of Controversy Creates Cash. I thought him wearing the neck brace was genius and it was getting AEW talked about to a new audience. I don’t think this would have helped get more eyes on the product like his actions on Thursday did.

I think it’s supposed to be like something you’d do in a 2k game. Cody also landing on the side he tore his pec on there, looked rough

I just think the ending of WrestleMania 40 could age like spoiled milk. At least they can cut them out of it.

Once again I find it hilarious that the focus is completely on what he said rather than the overall picture. Pearl clutching twats who have said little to fuck all about the lawsuit getting angry because he brought it up. Sums up both wrestling journalists and fans (especially the most tribal). I’m not saying I agree with him saying it, I’d rather he said nothing about them, but he ain’t wrong. I’ve seen a lot of “well achtually they fired Vince and so Tony is wrong to say that”, forgetting that 1) the lawsuit has both Vince and WWE as defendants and 2) we already know who some of the redacted individuals are that are named in the lawsuit. When the outrage is more about what Tony said than what Vince and WWE is accused of, you know the balance is wrong. He’s a twat, but there are bigger twats in wrestling. In other unrelated news wrestlings other famous Khan, Nick, put all of his TKO shares up for sale yesterday.

I don’t think he is suspended, he trolls a lot, and Grizzled Young Veterans are fighting them on Collision

Was that during the Zero Hour? We only got into are seats as the Tag match was starting so missed a lot of that stuff before and had no recollection of that

It probably means he’ll give him ringside for Clash at the Castle so they can show him on camera, just like Chris Tarrent and Vinnie Jones back in the day. The boos would be immense.

Sue or Sting for GM. No other choices.

Yeah, but no role in Greg Burridges 2018 cinematic masterpiece London Rampage starring Will Ospreay?

I mean, to be fair I HAVEN'T watched his NJPW run, but I saw enough clips on social media to know how that fits into the wider picture. But I get your point, and maybe had this been featured on dynamite or Collison, just like the montages and clips from NJPW social media, it would have helped. I thought his match with Pac was great. But I understand if you never saw his matches with Omega or Jericho at Wrestle Kingdom and are judging him on his few AEW matches thus far I can understand feeling underwhelmed. I think hes in a great spot with the new Elite though.

Hard disagree. His work at NJPW was interesting if nothing else. The reveal at the PPV was the best example of a ring invader I’ve ever seen (topped with his cheeky grin, beautiful stuff), and what do the Bucks or Okada need it for? They all piss charisma. He’s been gone since August, responsible for their biggest name being fired. He needs a big introduction and the crowd so far seem massively into it. It’s exactly what he needs.
