I'm actually a bit shocked at the amount of power Khan has gotten as it seems like he's taken over some of Vince's power too on the business side

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

she's a terrible wrestler but as a valet/manager she'd probably be great, oozes charisma in her streams/vids outside of WWE. Probably will end up in AEW just because Miro's there

Confirmed the glasses he wore in those promos are his legit glasses for driving, what a huge dork.

He also just said not to blame creative because they're good people who try hard, which seems to be the general consensus with a lot of the creative team. They're just stuck.

He seems cool and obviously put a lot of thought into his character, almost none of which was ever seen on TV.

It’s amazing that I JUST got my friend the Tommy End memorial t-shirt that I bought for him at an EVOLVE show in 2016 only for it to become as hilarious as the Chuck Taylor Retirement Tour shirt I own.

Hey Tay wasn't great before AEW, neither were a lot of folks. I think we have to get on the same page that just because someone was bad at WWE doesn't mean they would be bad in AEW.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
If you can't make a profit off of Braun, Murphy, or Riott, literally what the gently caress are you even doing in the wrestling business any more, WWE?

She was a bad wrestler, but she was also never going to improve while in the WWE. I wonder if the coaches at AEW could help her get better?

Remember, WWE managed to convince people that the original ECW was bad because Paul Heyman had the foresight to book people to their strengths and hide their weaknesses.

People said the same thing about Ivelisse and Shanna. "Oh who cares what her reputation is just book her properly and it'll work out" and look how that turned out for them.

"Probably" nothing, have we all memory holed when she was Rusev's imperious Russian leash-holder and it was the best either of them ever were? She's a great manager and she has fantastic chemistry with her husband, figuring out what to do with her in AEW wouldn't be hard.

Nick Khan has reorganized offices, cut people and basically moved in an entire new team of executives (including one who has some yikes references in his history) in a move that was clearly consolidating power. It's kind of why a lot of the "wwf is going to sell" rumors carry weight, because it's moves to get the process going. By the time Vince brought in Johnny Ace and Nick Khan, Hunter had already lost whatever power struggle there was going to be.
