Eh, until he does 1/20th of the things Vince has done to hundreds of people O don't think we need to go THERE.

I mean yea but when you’ve repeatedly said you’re the alternative and things like what the old competing regime wouldn’t happen because your company is different, but yet you go ahead and do those same exact things to a point, you deserve the slander.

There’s always gonna be greener grass. TK needs to stop treating A&W like his personal plaything and stop being Petty Wap and really focus on making it what it was years ago. Hire better bookers, writers, etc. Enhance your current stars and build new ones.

As much as i dog on A&W it’s deserved IMO because it is cringe to me, I however do want to see it succeed again to be a good alternative. Good competition breeds innovation and change. Just like ECW was a great alternative back in the Monday Night Wars, same should go for A&W. He’s got thr money to be competitive he’s just too egotistical to understand you need better people around you. Signing stars or former stars only takes you so far if you can’t develop them.

Like it might be a good thing Kenny Omega is staying away because given the landscape of what A&W is now, even him coming back couldn’t save the disaster it is under its current booking and writing.
 
The company is barely 5 years old. Do you want to compare where they are @ Year 5 vs. Where other companies were @ Year 5? It's no competition.

Everyone goes through growing pains, wrestling promotions included but nobody's growing pains were THIS successful.

Give them grace and patience and please stop trying to compare them to what Vince has done. It's no competition.

TK is fine.
AEW is fine.

They have their audience that loves them and rides for them. How many people can even make that claim let alone companies.

may still be young but they're not above criticism *shrugs*

Definitely not above criticism.

This whole debacle with the Lucha Bros. is nastee.

Will never co-sign holding wrestlers hostage or firing people and then telling them they can't wrestle anywhere else for 90 days like WWE likes to do.
 
Good to see the "he chose to sign the contract" folks finally coming around

This might be your most out of character post yet
 
Fenix posted a number of tweets seemingly aimed at AEW without naming them directly, claiming that he was treated inhumanely and denied a doctor when he needed one. Fightful asked for comment or statement from AEW both via message and in person at Monday's on-sale ticketing event. We were told that they weren't going to comment on the matter, with an additional source indicating that they couldn't comment on medical claims regardless.

Fightful has spoken to numerous sources in AEW who were surprised by Fenix's tweets, even though the two sides are on the outs. One source admitted there have long been communication issues, but hadn't heard anything that would be construed as "inhumane," and hadn't spoken to Fenix about it. They had heard that Fenix took issue with a doctor who hadn't cleared him at one point, though context on that wasn't exactly complete. We're still trying to find out any additional details on issues Fenix took with AEW. We did reach out to both he and AEW, and haven't heard back.

Another AEW source who claimed to be familiar with the matter said that the claims were untrue and that they thought word of AEW "not being upset by the fake WWE news" was someone trying to "babyface themselves" in the situation, as AEW had been upset about word that Lucha Bros had talks with WWE with plenty of time remaining on their deals.

Penta is now a free agent and able to work anywhere he pleases, while Rey Fenix's deal had injury time added to it that takes him well into 2025. It should be reiterated that WWE has never commented in any capacity on the duo, but the widespread belief was that they were planned for a WWE run, bypassing NXT. Contrary to recent reports, AEW did learn about those alleged talks back in the summer around the time Fightful reported about them, and were obviously not happy. They would later find out more information on the matter.

Penta is in heavy demand outside of AEW, we're told. Fenix, despite being under AEW contract, is also obviously heavy in demand. We've been working to find out if Fenix an AEW were in touch to approve his upcoming HOG appearance and are trying to learn more.

Penta and Fenix both were factored significantly into creative plans throughout the year. They, along with PAC were originally planned to win the AEW Trios Championships at All In before the aforementioned rumored talks with WWE took place. While Fenix was injured, PAC and Penta were also at one time planned for a deep run in the AEW World Tag Team Title tournament after Sting expired.

As of now, Fenix's status is up in the air, and there were people within AEW that indicated to Fightful last week that AEW and Tony Khan might actually give Fenix an early release on his deal. However, since then, we've heard of no update, and one of the sources that indicated that believed almost any outcome sets an unfortunate precedent.

"They had heard that Fenix took issue with a doctor who hadn't cleared him at one point"

lol
