Personally I don't think it's a good look for the owner of a company to tell his dissatisfied customers to put their money where their loving mouth is, but that's just me

Disagree I sincerely think more companies should be openly telling their customers and prospective customers to go gently caress themselves sometimes

At least it’s honest

I don't care. I've bought every single show the man has promoted, I've bought a ticket every time he's come to my state, I pretty much only pay for cable to watch his TV shows, I've been "putting my money where my mouth is" for four years and I've been putting a a lot of it where my mouth is. Hearing him say that really upset me, I don't care if that's cringe.

Like 20 bucks on Honor Club, 300 on tickets to Dynamite and Collision and, uh, whatever every AEW and ROH PPV put together cost. I assume it's a lot.

Oh yeah and like 60 bucks on the Punk Trans Shirt and another Punk shirt and they both arrived THE DAY HE WAS FIRED. :laffo:

That only really works if you're in a field where there aren't any alternatives for your customers, so they have to like the turds you deign to throw their way. Like WWE during most of the last 25 years, for example

Also I do find it amusing that Vince and co. have in the past cut promos mocking their rabidly loyal fans for basically being dumb enough to like their product, while Tony Khan goes off on the previously loyal fans for being smart enough to not like his current product

A fun financial fact (FFF): setting aside cable tv because its variable and also a wash between the two companies, a Peacock Premium scrip is the same cost as an HonorClub scrip. Any additional chunks of $60 that TK squeezes out of you is an extra half year of membership in a sensible company, and that number of squeezes continues to grow.

E: also in terms of value adds, peacock gets you the wwe archive, honorclub gets you the roh archive, and brlive gets you an injury angle on the preshow and tk taunting you to spend more.

At best, it's a haphazard attempt at placation, in which case....cool? I get to watch Bryan vs. Eddie and Bryan vs. Andrade at least (two matches that I've already seen with clean finishes, but whatever) and then what? I got four weeks of actual pro wrestling on this pro wrestling show, so I should shut up until next November? At worst, it's a situation where they promoted it like poo poo on purpose, so when nobody watches it, they can go "oh, well, we tried, nobody cared, more kangaroo kicks it is!"

Yeah I wasn't joking or making poo poo up when I said this tournament is a cudgel even if it's not being promoted like poo poo on purpose the end result is the same.

And there's nothing cringe about being irked when you're told to go gently caress yourself when you've been on board since day one

You know what? I am also annoyed at Tony's put your money where your mouth is comment. I've been on board since day one, I've bought every ppv I bought the game. I think that entitles me and others to complaints. And god knows my complaints are rare and I give AEW the benefit of the doubt. But it's a real loving bad look for a billionaire to tell people to put their money where their mouth is. gently caress you Tony on this one.

Company's struggling to sell tickets, WWE's eating their lunch in the ratings, they wasted a bunch of money on a videogame nobody's playing, WWE signed away AEW's hottest up-and-comer (and also Jade Cargill), fans aren't into the "WWE Lite" booking he's doing...at this point TK better just hope Mercedes Mone hasn't started taking calls/texts from Stamford again

What are y'all haters gonna do during Dynamite tonite?
