AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[GKJ]

Or an outright skit

I didn’t see all that Punk said so I don’t know if all bets are off on the NDA, but airing any kind of real footage on your TV show just feels very low brow

 

[Grackle Party]

Ugh this feels like it s going to be a disaster....

 

[MAHJ71]

100% is going to setup Perry joining the Bucks. I do find it somewhat hilarious the different reactions to Punk talking about the incident and the potential for AEW to do the same. Like just keep the same energy, if you loved Punk breaking silence on it then to me it should be open season at that point.

Right... a lot of WWE homers showing their colors. It's OK for Punk to continue to run his mouth, but not OK for Tony to show actual footage. Did anybody really expect Tony to stay quiet? I think he passed on commenting at first because he didn't want to take away from ROH.

Tony will show the footage, will it change much? Guess we'll see. If it doesn't, everyone gets back to the actual wrestling - which is a win for all fans.

 

[Fro]

I feel I agree, it will be a spoof or not actual...I do hope tony gets someone in his ear to just go back to good wrestling shows and drop the drama

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I would rather just let it go and try and be the "bigger person." I didn't watch the full Punk interview. Did he really lay into AEW or was he just answering the questions being asked?

If it leads to a storyline or progresses something, I'm more open to it. If it's just sinking down to Punk's level, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . I rather just build to Bucks/FTR.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Tony Khan's burner account is so pathetic.

The anti-WWE stuff that gets tweeted out is eye roll worthy. Otherwise, whoever runs that account does a great job of aggregating relevant content. Sort of a necessary follow, given that storylines can begin or continue off AEW TV.

 

[Apex Predator]

I feel like this is a set up to bring Jack Perry back. What real foootage could they have that will change everyone’s opinion that loves punk? For the die hard punk fans he could murder someone and they would still find reasons why he’s innocent.

It’s totally fine for him to show the footage, it’s just exactly what Russo would have done in WCW. That’s all. It’s the same “inside baseball” stuff he would make a part of storylines.

Me personally I’d want to distance myself from something that completely embarrassed me and my company if I was Tony but more power to him if he wants to keep reminding people of his terrible leadership and the event that caused the decline of his company

A gentle reminder this skirmish doesn’t happen if Tony had half of a testicle as a boss but alas….

It is honestly the only way it would make any sense.

It would be something if that incident got Jack Perry over on TV. Jungle Boy had a shelf life. The Hollywood gimmick was a dud, at least to me. I’m intrigued by the Scapegoat.

It won't get him over because he has the charisma of a brick, but it could be a compelling story for a while.

You keep saying that but I disagree...its not the best, but he continues to try out things to see if they work...

You think he has charsima?

Great athlete, yes.
Good looking, yes
Charismatic, no.

Promos are bad and he has little to know stage presence. With more compelling booking, he might be interesting for a while, but I do not think he can a be a star long term. Too bland. The definition of "a good hand".

 

[CDJ]

Last time I saw him on AEW TV he had XPac heat, I doubt that’s gonna change with the reports about how much of a diva he is to work with

This is probably their only chance at making him interesting. Hopefully they pull it off for the sake of the company. Embarrassing he was ever put on the same level as MJF or Darby

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Jack Perry costs FTR the belts at Dynasty? That's my prediction.

Labeling the 4 guys as pillars is the worst booking decision they've ever made in my opinion. It sets up unrealistic expectations for guys like Jack and Sammy who are very good, but they will always be compared to those 2 so their work will always be looked down upon.

Now this is a good assessment...he got overly hyped up..is he great, no, obviously...but I see someone that is at least trying and not mailing it in. At least in my opinion so I've given him more leeway than most...

Kinda like maxine in wwe, she's not good in a lot of spots but you can tell she is busting her ass to try, and me personally give a bigger benefit of doubt to those

He’s definitely a lot better than Maxine I’ll give him that lol

Yeah, I will say being the “bigger person” has never seemed to be Tony. Just going off how active/out there he is on Twitter I’d say he takes things so personally that if a former employee trashes him during the biggest week in wrestling, he’s going to respond. Which looks to be what’s happening.

Let’s see the footage and then make a judgement. Some seem like they want him to just ignore Punk, but given the publicity and how Tony operates… was never going to happen.

What if it shows Perry snatching Punk up and choking him out

 

[Apex Predator]

Just makes Perry and AEW look bad and proves Punk was right. There’s higher chance AEW looks bad versus Punk with showing footage.

It would be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Is he though? he has the physique of the kid who chases down the shopping carts at the grocery store, and he is 26 with the hairline of a 47 year old

he is like a mini version of Kenny G

As a kid who chases down carts at a grocery store, this is the biggest compliment I have ever received.

As a card carrying shopping club member, let me say you and your kind are appreciated

This. Also, how is the rest of the locker room going to view it?
