The Tony Khan Is A Twat Thread

I’m sure we are all Coventry fans today and hope the twatty dog nonce and his team get so battered and abused, he’ll try and get the Cov squad to sign to AEW.

According to Bryan Alveraz, there is, in fact, a study that Khan commisioned (I'm assuming via some kind of marketing agency).

God bless Becky. I appreciate her taking the piss but I’m not sure it’s best to be making jokes about artificial crowd reactions in the current climate. Half the pops at Wrestlemania were mp3s.

But yeah. Why even bother commissioning this type of study? It goes without saying that Twitter is full of bots and idiots.

The worst thing the study will show is that the ones who aren't bots are actually just complete twats.

Why would WWE bother creating an army of Twitter bots to criticise AEW, when it would be a much more sensible plan to create an army of Twitter bots to publicise WWE's good points?

You know they can do both right? When the Nick Gage/Pizza Ad thing happened and the Women's Street Fight it was suggested some of the fuss in traditional media was stirred by WWE. An army of bots uplifting the negative hot takes helps with things like that.

Didn't Vince once take out an ad slagging off WCW for being too crass or something?

I mean, social media thrives on the negative. How often does something being great and nice and wonderful trend vs something terrible or partisan insane hatred or whatever? Doesn't Facebook have a button (probably more complicated than that) where they can essentially turn up or down the amount of hate filled bullshit on their platform and tend to turn it up because up means increased money for them?

Have that, you fucking dog nonce. Turned over 3-1 in your own yard.

Why would they bother doing both? Why have 1,000 pro-WWE bots and 500 anti-AEW bots when you could just have 1,500 pro-WWE bots instead? See below.

For the sake of discussion, we'll assume Tony Khan's paranoid accusations are correct. Would WWE's anti-AEW bot army result in any extra TV viewers for WWE? Would WWE's anti-AEW bot army result in any extra ticket sales for WWE live events? WWE's anti-AEW bot army result in any extra subscribers to the WWE Network? WWE's anti-AEW bot army result in any extra t-shirt sales from the WWE Shop? The answers to those questions are no, no no, and no. Or perhaps there are a handful of people that would read an article critical of AEW and decided to buy a Becky Lynch shirt instead of watch AEW Dynamite? The idea that WWE would waste their time on such a pointless endeavour is simply ludicrious, and merely emphasises that Tony Khan is unwilling to even consider that some people don't like his precious wrestling promotion despite the positive reviews from the people that do like it.

If you discredit the opposition you are more likely to keep customers who might try it and like it and you lose a T-shirt sale, or subscription, or ticket sale etc
