So either it's okay or not.

So the title should be changed, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the title is not 'Tony's a twat but Vince is worse'. If you are annoyed at people making digs at Tony 'for likes' in a thread literally created for that very reason then I can't help you.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Maybe that's a mistake but you do take things very personally and have a crazy tunnel vision when it comes to all things AEW. I try to approach you and your posts in a reasonable manner as most people do actually. Whether you choose to listen to that or not is obviously your choice but I don't consider my observation there to be weird OR a flex to be honest.

The moment you start 'what about-ing' what's going on here then you lose the right not to be called a tribal idiot. There's horrible shit and people in both companies. That's the most important thing in all this. Saying "Yeah but they've done this" gets us nowhere and makes you look a twat. Indeed.  It’s a difficult moral line for any of us here, all wrestling fans, to tread.  If we were being strictly morally pure we’d perry much have to not watch ANY wrestling given how many sordid stories have come, and continue to come out all locker rooms. So it really makes all of us “tribal” for watching something that as @Supremo points out the rest of the world generally regards as intrinsically low rent. Given all that, it’s particularly hypocritical to point fingers at each other in a “you like THIS brand”.  Let’s just deal with each issue that arises on its own merits or lack thereof.  Or just don’t watch any wrestling. In a similar vein, it’s a proper “wrestling bubble” moment for the owner of one wrestling company to bring up sexual misconduct at another wrestling company.  The outside world sees no difference, you’re just drawing eyes to the seedy side of your own industry, you massive idiot.  I really am a fan of AEW but it’s moments like this that remind me how far we’ve come from the promise of its creation, “wrestling but done better”, and as the 89 pages of this thread attest to a lot of the blame for that lies at Khan’s door directly.

Sometimes I think how I'd feel if I'd left WWE or tried to avoid them and went to AEW thinking it'd be better and the owner was better and then all this shit comes up on the regular. Don't get me wrong, the industry is better for AEW's existence and TK has done a lot right by people. But every so often he slips back into fanboy mode and it's in public and its embarrassing. He knows full well the mistakes others have made over the years. He had a rare opportunity to start with a mostly clean slate and not fall into the same traps.
