This... isn't terrible.

I think I see some upside to both parties in it. Also, cute to see them relying on past TNA highlights with alumni who've gone to AEW.

Kaz with long hair is weird to see.

This ad just adds more intrigue to everything. If Impact does well, I don't know what to think about any of this.

Impact is getting like 35k viewers on twitch. They usually get a few thousand I guess.

I expected to hate that video but thought it was actually surprisingly funny! Still don't have much desire to watch Impact but I don't hate the angle.

Tony Khan is doing such a good job he needs to resist the temptation of being on screen and the inevitable darkness that eventually comes with that and just continue running a really good wrestling promotion

Tony Khan only being an onscreen authority figure for AEW on non-AEW television would be a really funny twist on that

Eh. Good promo but I feel like it needed him to actually make a challenge or something to make it actually worthwhile.

Right now it’s just a promo he could have cut on Dynamite but sitting across from Josh Matthews instead of Alex Marvez.

I still feel vindicated in not giving a poo poo about the angle and if I didn’t have insomnia I would not have stayed up until 3am to watch that.

Tony only being onscreen via gorilla position cameos and shoddy looking commercials is the best way to use him.

Preferably with the other Tony as his sidekick.

As much as people are wary of him being an on-screen figure, I think it will continue to be funny as long as he maintains this level of self awareness. I don't feel like there's any way he watched that after the fact and thought "hell yeah I'm a great actor, I can cut a hell of a promo. Need to do this every week." He watched it and thought "OH MAN THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN" and he's excited for something else now. He's a mark for the business and knows his own limits.

He went to Impact and the Impact champ showed up on screen before the match and then he cut a promo about wanting to win championship belts in other promotions, such as Impact. To me, that feels like it has different implications from a normal promo on Dynamite

I said it in the Impact thread, but if Tony Khan's character is gonna be this kind of passive-aggessive catty bitch then I think he could be OK as an on-screen character.

I actually kind of enjoyed that episode of Impact and Kenny's QUEST FOR ALL THE BELTS is going to be fun.

Also please put Taya on Dynamite thanks in advance.

Kenny and Don Callis backstage at Dynamite:

“Impact Wrestling’s Don Callis is going to help me go to Impact Wrestling and win their belts too!”

Same poo poo. I guess maybe this one hit different if you gave a gently caress about Impact or their championships?

The public face of the Something Awful AEW Thread advocating for people to not watch their world heavyweight wrestling champion a week after their historic title win is a look. Do better, MRT. Do better.

It hit different because 1) He actually went and appeared on the show, so it lends more credibility to the angle legitimately building to a match in another promotion and 2) The bad guy world champion did an rear end in a top hat thing and ran off to another show to make his first appearance after winning the belt

I guess I can see someone having a different reaction if you thought AEW might reveal something genuinely earth-shaking on another program before their own for some reason, but going in expecting a good-if-inessential story beat, I thought it was a satisfying way to build the angle they started last week!
