I remember reading something about the Fox News thing. I don’t know anything about this promo. Maybe both are good for examples of a “spazz out.”

It’s good to see some honest news coming out. A few months ago people would have found a way to sweep that under the rug. Or the story would have been “AEW only down 9% in Texas! This despite wrestling being down 30% in coastal regions!”

What does "reDRagon" mean... Is it like "Red Dragon"... and why is the second R capitalized...

"re: Dragon" like replying to an e-mail about a dragon is how I always thought about it

But they don't know how to type/spellcheck and accidentally capitalized the first two letters of DRagon. A most embarrassing workplace gaff.

IIRC The DR has something to do with Davey Richards. One of them was teaming with Richards prior to joining up so it’s some sort of dig at him.

They should just call themselves Indisputable Era, better than ReDragon

They should repackage Bobby Fish with a Fisherman gimmick and Kyle O'Reilly as a sea creature that he caught and tamed

It's wild how cool Tony is and how he leads the buisness in a positive fan friendly way because as we all know there is no bigger richer wrestling fan than Tony.

Red Dragon is a terrible name. Just because people have the idea doesn’t mean it’s good.

What happened to Marko Stunt? AEW never used my "how far can you launch Marko?" idea. Maybe they couldn't think of a worthy prize,,,,,,

Big Swole was awful tbh
Her main complaint with this besides the "AEW doesn't have enough black executives" thing seems to be "AEW keeps hiring new ppl so there isn't enough TV time for me"... |

" Her wrestling was bad " lmao dude is living in lala land. We made the first strike at FAN and now people are turning on Tony Khan. 😆 I told you guys it was him and Meltzer running that place. Tony Khan about to get cancelled by his own sheep. |

It was inevitable that the time was gonna eventually come when Khan turned heel and stopped trying to be the "well-liked owner" and lots of ppl started to hate him

Tony Khan is a manchild asshole. I have been telling you all forever. Turns out he is also a bit racist and sexist too.

my favorite part of it was how he counted the Acclaimed and Private Party by their individual members. So, it was basically 5 matches. Well, besides talking about Swole being bad when Rosa could barely pull anything out of Jade.

Like I understand wanting to publicly stick your neck out for your company if someone claims there’s racism or a lack of diversity or any of that...but there’s surely a more professional way of addressing these claims than just shitting on the person who made them.

Tony sometimes comes across as this kid who grew up never being told 'no' so when he gets any criticism he sends out a petty response instead of hiring a PR person to respond to things with common sense. |

Guys Swole is TERRIBLE. And for those who want to complain about the lack of diversity in AEW I think they are absolutely trying their best with what they have. It's not like they opened the promotion with Keith Lee and Jon Gresham. There aren't as many top level black wrestlers as there are white, Latino and Asian. But Tony has clearly done his part in being inclusive from the beginning.
It has always been troubling to me that AEW didn't have a black star that actually mattered. But Scorpio failed, Swole failed, Private Party flopped, and Lee Johnson is totally forgettable. The Acclaimed and Dante Martin/Leo Rush/Team Faz story have all been pretty good though. Fuck Swole, she sucks. |

Tony Khan gets hot headed way too easy and another instance where a PR person is much needed for him in AEW. The public dig at her work effort wasn't needed and just listing a few names comes more across as him deflecting any blame over Swole's comments.
The stuff Big Swole mentioned was both true in the sense that AEW could do a much better job highlighting and focusing on their diversity and women's wrestling but also somewhat of a stretch since she pretty much ignored everyone who wasn't black in the company. She totally ignored that Jade Cargill has gotten one of the biggest spotlight treatments in the company since she debuted. She also ignored that she got multiple chances at becoming a bigger star in AEW but things just didn't work out for her in the end for various reasons. |
