Don't forget Dave Meltzer.....he do's same thing Alvarez do's.

I have never listened to an interview as long as this and come out of it with zero information.

Exactly Bro …. Tony Khan just wanted to be Told how Amazing he is and how the ‘Demo’ Ratings are Awesome etc etc ….. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Helwani is a weasel though. He likes to sh-disturb and make backhanded compliments constantly. Dude's been clowned on by MMA fans for years. It might be why he branched out to pro wrestling cause he's burned bridges with a lot of people involved in MMA.

Ariel versus Tony is a heel program, but Alvarez, how the mighty have fallen, unless he's gotten a huge windfall from AEW.

That's what makes Tony look bad here ...bc HHH did one of his best interviews with Ariel a lil over a month ago

This interview is an amazing one-man car crash.

@@manuelper As an MMA fan after being a wrestling kid in the attitude/ruthless era, Ariel has been the MMA guy for 15 years. Like Jim and Brian just realized he's a seasoned pro as a reporter and Tony finally went up against a nob-lapdog and facepalmed it

Actual journalists don’t take money from organisations they cover. Helwani was a paid UFC shill. And it’s hilarious to compare the softball interview he gave Papa H to what he gave Khan.

Tony Khan has been denying and deflecting questions and critiques for the past three years, so nobody should be shocked by this. He has been getting underhand softballs pitched at him this whole time, so how are people expecting him to answer complex questions.

All on his own !!! He's like an emotional child this was a horrible interview " I don't wanna talk about ".

@@Melo_Soul how does that man write the show???? Could have just given some answer (probably a worked answer)

@@shahanahsan05 exactly , now we can see that he really doesn't know what he's doing and needs help

It was a pointless interview...khan said nothing worth hearing or listening to.

@@eoghanryan4294 Does Tony Khan ever say anything worth hearing or listening to? Talks so much and says nothing but says it so boring, so banal. The only thing worth looking at is his crazy non-blinking eyes.

tbh Tony was lowkey hilarious when he came up with more creative ways to say 'nah we're not gonna talk about this' and it was increasingly more rude/disrespectful to Halwani but Tony just said it like it was a regular Tuesday lmao

@@teecakes yeah I thought that too lol Tony cracked me up.

It is worth seeing the whole thing

No comment 🤣🤣

@@teecakes yeah dude he sounded pretty snotty saying "yeah, you can ASK". He is WAY too full of himself for a guy who's never had to work for anything in his life

So quick too meanwhile Tony during the whole interview couldn’t think of anything to both promote the show and his talent in a good way

Lets just gofundme a Jim Cornette promotion lol

That speaks volumes about how much talent and experience he has.

@@oceanshrugs9235 lol

Yeah dude, what Corney said he would have said there, would have worked fucking fantastically

Ariel - Hey so what's the weather been like TK - Again, I can't comment on anything to do with the weather that might affect several people and stuff, but I certainly have been very active looking at the rainy weather in Britain, where we've seen some strong ratings and we moved the show up, Britain has been such a good market for us and having Dynamite on on Friday nights at 8 has served us so well, those British fans are very brand loyal but also hungry for wrestling so it's been a perfect fit, when we approached iTV for the deal, I repeatedly asked them for a weekend gig to get close as possible to the old World of Sports timeslot but unfortunately we couldn't do that so we went with the Friday night slot

Methinks TK gets some of his cues from former Aussie crime-minister Scott "I don't hold a hose, mate" Morrison aka Scotty From Marketing X-P

Nah... There is some sympathy for your kid or a friend. This is an adult with feeding ego. Perhaps he needs help with Rejection Sensitive Syndrome. Needs therapy.

What do you mean? He has Jericho

That's not even that hard of a situation. Anyone that's ever watched anything regarding business, sports or entertainment contracts has heard it before. "I'm not at liberty to get into details of ongoing negotations, but we blah blah blah....". That's a softball question for someone like Cornette.

😂

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed the change in him 😂

honestly, I agree with Brian, he ain't on coke, his focus is way too fucked for it to be coke, I reckon it's speed

Adderall

@@eiephants another strong contender

Ariel didn’t question HHH about the Vince McMahon allegations. That interview was a softball. Cmon lol

@@Eagles2020 you AEW fans are sinking like a rock

The fact he doesn’t even understand the concept of working says a lot about how AEW is run.

she definitely is

He was quick with that one.

watch it get spread out of context tho

What would jim be without Brian? Lol even with the ads sometimes, Brian's there to save the day

@@mckali9999 probably an inmate 😂

its painfully obvious Tony Khan should never be allowed in front of the media. He has no idea how to act as a wrestling promoter

that's children of billionaires in a nutshell lol

He needs to establish Command presence and stop taking shit

what does that mean

@@erickmack4131 he does way to many interviews

@@johnmorrison6287 This shit came out of nowhere and has fuck all to do with this comment section let alone video, but as an Aussie I can dig it lol.

Yeah it was an hour and seventeen minutes. I listened to some of it, thinking it would be like the interview Ariel did with HHH which was really good because HHH was pretty open all things considered. But I made it about 15 minutes in before I accepted that TK was never going to answer anything, continue going on and on with no answers and just spend the entire time promoting whatever show was coming up at the time. And seeing the clip recaps from it I now know that I made a good decision. TK really needs to get a solid PR person to either coach him, handle this stuff for him or both because he came off like such a goof with this.

And I believe the show he spent the entire interview promoting ended up going down like 15% from the prior week and was the lowest Rampage rating since July. Here’s to hoping (although it won’t happen) that TK eventually learns that nobody gives a shit about Battle of the Belts for a company that has overloaded the show with belts and done nothing substantial to make any of them outside of the AEW World Title mean something. And even the AEW Title isn’t because of something he did but more so just because of how great Mox has been.

Tony Khan is an Embarrassment to be Honest ….. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@@constablekennedy7705 I never thought I would say the same one day. After listening to this interview, and I'm a huge AEW fan, I can understand all the problems of the company come from one man and it's the owner. Someone in the public relations business should give Tony some lessons and tricks and cues. Saying out and loud that you don't want to talk about a journalist questions, is a cardinal sin in communications.

@@racineurr.8924 Agreed Bro 💯

Agreed 💯

Yeah, I DARE someone to name ANY one better

he is a wordsmith for sure

I think it's just youth and lack of self awareness... Maybe he will grow out of it.. maybe

@@johnmorrison6287 stop talking about your dad like that

@@johnmorrison6287 French kiss the barrel of a loaded pistol

ol' Tony Khan, still curious what goddamn drugs he's on

He is such an Effeminate & Petulant Fella that it’s actually Astounding …. 🤦🏿‍♂️

TK is the awkward aspergers gift that keeps on giving

@@pjludda4323 the mental image of HBK being TK's drug dealer is a hilarious mental image

New T.K. doesn't disappoint either. He's trying to run AEW into the ground faster than Ultimate Warrior beat Triple H at Mania 12

so... super lifelike? haha

It’s Hilarious Bro and should become a Meme for sure …. 🙏🏿

Let's be real, Tony Khan is not on cocaine. He's on a MIXTURE of cocaine, Adderall, methamphetamine, and whatever stimulants are immediately available.

@@jimreily7538 He uses caffeine pills as sleep aids.

Ronan Keating predicted Tony Khan's career in this one song lyric (You say it best, when you say nothing at all) 😂

He is a bit of a B word .

Have you ever answered every single question you have been ask in life? I am sure you haven't

@@allisoncox7243 granted that maybe the case. However, we as the common person would give somewhat logical reason as to why we don't want to answer a question, we wouldn't start promoting where we worked as an alternative. Now, to go onto a show knowing the in-depth knowledge of the wrestling business such as Ariel Helwani and essentially waste his time for an hour, you can see how it would get frustrating. I do believe Grand Funk Master Chief could have got his point across in a more sensible way, but such is life I guess.

Very telling that he cannot even grasp the concept of a worked answer.

Yeah well you know it really shouldn't be that remarkable, back in the old days nobody would have been in Tony's position without having the talent to be able to find something to say in a goddamn interview

But yes, JC is a goddamn wrestling genius

"Adderall, cocaine, any stimulant I'm all about it"- TK

Take a redbull grind some adderall into it, throw in some cocaine and a splash of coffee and baby you got the khan cocktail

@@elmase2163 I miss those days but even then I wouldn't want to have the responsibilities Tony does to do all he does lol

"Cocaine. what are your thoughts about it? Do you prefer using the left or right nostril? "

"WhatiscocaineIveneverheardofcocaineIcertainlyhaveneverdonecocaine...*sniff*...."

Yeah Ariel definitely would’ve played along cause he’s a huge mark but Tony didn’t give him shit to work with

TK doesn't know what he's doing, does he?

@@SubtlyPoor He's in way over his head. If he had no plan to put over the company or put over the talent, what in the world was he doing there? Ariel was throwing him softballs and he was acting like he was being cross-examined by Camille Vasquez. In the end, all he got out it was an interview where he sounded like a petulant child and Heelwani cutting an awesome promo on his "9000 titles" company. +1 for username. Half of Southwestern Alberta's best crime fighting duo.

Didn't make tk red, so Heelwani hates Pat confirmed

That's what makes Tony look bad here ...bc HHH did one of his best interviews with Ariel a lil over a month ago

@@lillagahnavich7700 yeah triple h when he was asked about sasha banks wyatt etc he didn't give to much but he still answered the questions an was professional about it where as tony just no sold everything an it made him look like jabroni on a big platform

Thats because…

So this means Tony needs to sell AEW to Vince who will have a nocturnal emission from dissecting this company and then Hunter making it what it should be.

@@lillagahnavich7700 HHH is a real wrestler whose been on both sides of the equation where people thought he wasn't worth anything in WCW and turned out to be one of the greatest heels ever. Tony is just a billionaire son of a billionaire owner who is showing he has no business running a wrestling promotion when he scratches the backs of his friends.

When looking at how things have gone over the past year or so I’m not sure why any young wrestler who has an offer from both companies would ever sign with AEW. I can see why people went there intially when it was being portrayed at this land of creativity and a locker room paradise. But now that you see that hardly anybody who made the move from WWE to AEW has fared any better there outside of the top guys like Mox or Danielson I can’t see what would even tempt you about it anymore. Especially now that the biggest headache in WWE (Vince) is gone. Outside of older wrestlers who want to work a light schedule for a large amount of money I can’t imagine anything about AEW that would appeal over WWE now. Once the current WWE transfers leave id be genuinely for anybody to choose AEW outside of being released by WWE and needing a job.

As it relates to talent i imagine they’ll become what TNA once was: a place where unknowns can get known to go to WWE or older WWE guys go for a light schedule.

@@Matt-cr4vv the cm punk , hangman page and bucks with omega really destroyed that reputation

@@Matt-cr4vv Except now WWE has just as light of a schedule. WWE can keep an older guy around on a minimal contract without having to work excessive dates.

That's the funniest part he cant even give troll answers just said no comment 😂😂 why even do the interview lol

@@johnmorrison6287 Do a beer bong of antifreeze.

Its because he's living out *his* own personal fantasy. He's playing with his action figures and creating this world where he's the supreme lord and ruler. Literally like an actual man-child who didn't get enough love growing up and has to escape to an imaginary play land. So when real people ask him real questions, he has NO CLUE how to answer them. It's absolutely bizarre.

@@josevillarreal5955 just no capacity to think up even a kayfabe answer that might make his shows more interesting to watch.

Same. ITV2 at that.

I watched ep1 - ep3 of Dynamite when it first launched. Haven't watched AEW since.

wait, it's on itv? lmao

Remember the angle with Cm Punk saying he was going to leave WWE, Jims not wrong acting as if he could leave, could draw more people to be interested if they used that as an angle down the line because you blur the lines if it's legit or not.

LEARN TO WORK MARK! basicaly lol. I was dying too.

I’m Loving the fact that Jim Cornette Addressed the Elephant in the Room about ALL the Work that Paige has done to her Face …. 💀

But that's the problem. He's biased.

Witness protection program hahahahaha

Right, why even do the damn thing? At least the interview isn't completely worthless, it further revealed how clueless Tony Khantana really is at trying to play wrestling booker 🤷‍♂️

@@lostinthought7349 exactly! Cause hes so used to being interviewed by fans who want to talk about the matches

part of it is because ariel has a relationship with wwe

Yes, seriously, why bother? TK just wasted everyone's fucking time. Listening to it, I get frustrated FOR Helwani

​@@jacemacfie1475he should just refuse to do an interview instead of wasting everyone time

Same here Tony Khan is an idiot.

While hunters was praised and his was such as embarrassment

Lol now I can't get this out of my head

@darylaiken "I didn't screw Tony. Tony screwed Tony."

"There's a time honored tradition... and I don't want to talk about it"

Would have been funny if he had a live mic like on in the naked gun

yes...a "piss break" not a coke/ adderall break.

@@lracseroom8286 good point. Regardless of what he was actually doing, could you imagine Vince McMahon (or any of the big wigs in WWE or WCW for that matter) sitting in on an interview (or any meeting) and 40 minutes into an interview being like “I’m gonna take a ‘leak’, BRB” Unprofessionalism oozes from AEW faster than blood oozes from Moxley’s head

@@garrettkeithr To be fair, guests on Joe Rogan usually do take a piss break when they've been talking for 3 hours straight.

@@britz9418 I’m guessing that Joe Rogan’s guests don’t normally try to wrap the interview up 5 minutes after their ‘piss’ break tho. I bet that during his break he did his line and got reamed out by the AEW PR person about going over his allotted interview time.

Cocaine Tony

I think Tony had thrown all his toys out of the pram by that point

@@3DBrawlChannel All he had to say was that they will let her perform as her health permits. Very safe answer, totally non-committal. Instead, all of the evasiveness comes across as deliberate, backhanded disrespect.

@@outstretchedwings Nah, he's doing space coke.

It's highly likely it's Adderall that's he's taking

@@outstretchedwings y'all motherfuckas have never been around coke heads. Never once have I seen Tony just randomly tap one of his nostrils. Go watch clips of Chuck Barris on the Gong Show from the 1970s. That dude is constantly reaching up, and plugging one of his nostrils out of pure reflect. Tony Khan speaks like somebody who is afraid to speak publicly

Herb Abrams > Tony Khan

Ex Aussie PM Scott Morrison's Belly dangles left and right while he is roaming on the beach. Also a black wax comes out of his belly button

Absolutely.....the guy comes off like a meth addict on TV 🤣

And since then all Dirt sheet writers have been banned from post-PPV media scrums. From now on the only partipant will be Peter Avalon wielding a pencil and working a dirt sheet writer gimmick. TK’s paranoia knows no bounds now, the guy is cracking

@nbaldwin45 Maybe Tony will invite Shane Helms to the next scrum, and is anything breaks loose, the Hurricane can swoop in and break it up.

@@rl318 :D

Ariel can be a real shit stirrer and hasn't been much of an angel. But dammit, he's one of the only guys out there that's not afraid to bust some balls now.

It's just the virgin aew marks...no surprise at all

Ariel’s M.O. has always been asking the questions that will bring the most attention to himself. It has worked out well for him obviously, but most people would have pivoted and tried to at least get a listenable interview out of TK. Ariel will just rephrase and follow up over and over which made it even more awkward. So in that sense I think he’s equally to blame. He only wanted to cover things TK wasn’t interested in talking about.

@@MrElephantBeach TK's M.O. is to be bitch boy to select people in his locker room, thus letting them embarrass him to the point where the vast majority thinks he's a spineless mark. And when you've been relegated to that, it is going to be hard to answer those questions.. he still has to babysit those egos that he nurtured and let take over. So it's not because he didn't want to answer, it's because he can't, because he has no balls and the environment is dysfunctional and fragile due to him having no balls

@@MrElephantBeach I've always hated Ariel ever since early UFC. Watching Dana shit on him non stop was so fun

And is a lie besides

And considering Ariel’s fandom of wrestling he probably would’ve been happy to go along with it within reason.

@@Matt-cr4vv Exactly. You have to be a complete failure for Ariel to come down on you.

Minder is still the best thing on ITV4

Yea it’s more rounder like she put on some weight, even when I saw highlights of her entrance (on AEW) you can see she’s also chubby in her belly area Before she was thin now from not doing anything strenuous she’s put on some weight, she looks healthy

a lot 'cleaner' too lul
