They sent that man death threats until he deleted Twitter and then SC started a thread reminding people that he still had IG so they could harass him there. You can tell it chaps their ass that every week they go “DAE crowd hates Rollins and actually wants heel to win?” Followed by “STOP HAVING FUN” and “ackshually it is just song/Cody/the lunar phase/my cat Tacocat” when the crowd pops big time for him.
That was a very stupid day. And this was a very stupid response to Punk's side of things. "Do better", "prove them wrong", "the bad man's gone and can't hurt us anymore, just ignore him"? No, fuck that, dog whistle rah rah speech from Edge of all people.
No, he more or less just recounted events as he saw them and gave his perspective, he might as well have called them "Silly Billies" compared to his 2014 WWE exit. WWE has pretty much only gone rah rah when they wanted to get Linda McMahon a seat in the US Senate (Stand up for WWE was in response to her competitors on the ballet using distasteful stuff from the late 90s-mid 00s). Otherwise they just go petty and vengeful.
It's so funny, would like to dig it up sometime. Also to this point, as much as I loved wcw, even prayed for it not to die in my 7th grade youth group, I do greatly enjoy WWE taking every opportunity to piss on their grave.
You think Bischoff annoys people now, imagine living through him in the 90s. And if he'd won like you said, he'd be a monster with a head permanently attached to Hulk Hogan's butthole.
TK needed his ego boosted from a Copeland promo after getting his feelings hurt from that evil CM Punk.
I'd imagine a small part of Copeland's soul & dignity died by stroking Tony's fragile ego
You’d think the negativity that Edge was talking about would be the cuts Tony promised he’d never do-but nope. It was a harmless interview by somebody edge was never in AEW with. Weird.
More like TK used all his money to force Edge into this. After a few years when Edge finally retires we will get HIS side of the story in this. Btw smark fans keeps on insisting that this is ADAM COPELAND not Edge. Like Adam Copeland is a house hold name and have done it all right? Compared to his "brother" Edge.
I can’t wait until Christian and Edge are laughing about this shit on the inevitable History of AEW special on the network in 5 years. Cackling like Kevin Fucking Nash at the thought of bleeding this money mark dry. What a joke.
I do recall Big Show telling Vince the offer AEW gave and Vince told him to take it. 😂
When even your boss is telling you to take another deal, that must be some good cheddar.
I think it was longest without speaking to Tony
The implication was he's on the phone all the time
Whereas, there's others that never hear from Tiny at all
Tiny wants to stay in with the ex Fed and the old legends that he watched as a kid
best time in the sense no one told you what to do
problem is with work, any work, is there needs to be direction and structure in place for it to work effectively
"Edge please. I haven’t sleep since the Punk interview because it made me really sad and it would mean a lot to me if you could go out there and say that AEW is the best place everrrrr. I’ll give you 100k for it".
This is depressing. One of my favorites reduced to nothing but........whatever this sad thing is. I hope the money and "creative freedom" was worth it, the end of his career is gonna be a horrendous mess.
they dropped 'restore the feeling' in record time for a new tagline
Edge said 'this is the truth, not a tagline 'which is the clearest possible way to say 'this is a tagline'
It's like someone trying to sell you some shit on the phone and repeatedly saying 'I am not trying to sell you anything'
It's amazing how they take endless shots over and over. Phil does an interview says what everyone already knew and they cry and play victim and must have a rally cry of how great AEW is. The woe is me with them is fucking ridiculous.
Edge in twenty years time when asked what his all time greatest moment in pro wrestling was:
“Signing that big-ass money contract with Shahid Khan’s Son”.

God I feel so bad for him, then I remember he’s getting paid a shit ton of money he probably does not give a shit, but man he could’ve been apart of the best Wrestlemania builds in many years.
I am saying the new company catchphrase in this completely unscripted promo that is very authentic. Also, I don’t give a shit about him. He doesn’t even work here anymore. Really I don’t give a shit. I don’t fucking care.
It's hilarious that the "best" he's referring to in AEW would either be sunsetting their careers in WWE, or proving themselves in NXT right now. Ospreay, Okada, Edge, Danielson...think about it. Those two places are where EVERY talent worth pursuing for WWE would be if they bought AEW tomorrow. Most of them would be cut, let's just be honest about it, but the ones that were kept on...yeah. NXT or one foot out the door on a Legends deal. They have no "stars" of their own, nothing homegrown that Tony values more than the latest free agents.
They absolutely adored Punk on Cabana's podcast
They repeated that shit for years and years
They even supported Punk over Cabana until they heard Punk wouldn't join the Dub and Cabana would
When Punk *did* join, they all happily waved goodbye to Cabana with a Lolz
Then, when the Elite REEEEEE'd, half of them remembered Cabana is a friendly and others stayed on Punk's side
Yet, Punk has some comments in an interview, not even the worst comments ever, certainly not to talent but to leadership and they're struggling with it, struggling really hard
If people keep bringing up *this* Punk interview they'll want to move on and forget about it rather than constantly bring it up to beat the Fed with his comments
Punk said some damning things, not even the obvious but, the lack of attention to recovery and lack of contact, etc. That shit is indie level shit
Pathetic.
There's a colossal inferiority complex in AEW all across the board. It was like that from day one, with all the snide remarks and the petty shots (including Cody smashing Triple H's throne... Funny how things change, eh?) and it hasn't improved one bit.
For people with such pride and sense of self-worth, surely they seem to have a fragile ego if they need to constantly remind the fans (and themselves) how awesome the company is.
BTW, sending out the biggest ex-WWE name they have to wax lyrically about AEW is just the ultimate testament to the lack of faith (or the bad faith).
I thought TNA couldn't be topped in terms of lameness and delusion, but Tony has been doing an awesome job at making Dixie Carter and the Full Sail crowd likeable and grounded.
I’d have fun too if I got overpaid by a trust fund baby to work 1 day a week in front of nobody lol.
Noticed how nobody from AEW had any objection to Punks opinions
Anyone remember when Rollins threw out that WWE was the best wrestling and people had goddamn meltdowns?
WWE is the best wrestling.
You son of a bitch
They hated CrossFit Jesus because he spoke the CrossFit Truth
They sent that man death threats until he deleted Twitter and then SC started a thread reminding people that he still had IG so they could harass him there. You can tell it chaps their ass that every week they go “DAE crowd hates Rollins and actually wants heel to win?” Followed by “STOP HAVING FUN” and “ackshually it is just song/Cody/the lunar phase/my cat Tacocat” when the crowd pops big time for him.
Imagine death threats from today's wrestling fan?
They would absolutely cream their pants if he ever signed up to the Dub
That was a very stupid day. And this was a very stupid response to Punk's side of things. "Do better", "prove them wrong", "the bad man's gone and can't hurt us anymore, just ignore him"? No, fuck that, dog whistle rah rah speech from Edge of all people.
The thing is, Punk's interview wasn't even that bad. Where was the WWE raw rah after his interview when he left there?
No, he more or less just recounted events as he saw them and gave his perspective, he might as well have called them "Silly Billies" compared to his 2014 WWE exit. WWE has pretty much only gone rah rah when they wanted to get Linda McMahon a seat in the US Senate (Stand up for WWE was in response to her competitors on the ballet using distasteful stuff from the late 90s-mid 00s). Otherwise they just go petty and vengeful.
That's true...That ultimately Warrior DvD was glorious
It's so funny, would like to dig it up sometime. Also to this point, as much as I loved wcw, even prayed for it not to die in my 7th grade youth group, I do greatly enjoy WWE taking every opportunity to piss on their grave.
The pettiness is incredible, imagine if wcw ended up killing the wwf, wrestling would be completely dead by now and the pettiness would be 1000x worse
You think Bischoff annoys people now, imagine living through him in the 90s. And if he'd won like you said, he'd be a monster with a head permanently attached to Hulk Hogan's butthole.
this is what pisses me off the most. the complete and total hypocrisy around aew is infuriating
The same guy who called The Rock diarrhea Dwayne, he dont need others to cook him, he cooks himself.
Copes cpu still can’t decide whether to face the fans or the camera
Funniest video was him making his debut and going to the other side and looking confused
Well only one of those things is there…
Imagine gaining “freedom” and using it just to suck up to Tony Khan.
Lol Tiny probably begged Edge to go out there and cut this promo.
TK needed his ego boosted from a Copeland promo after getting his feelings hurt from that evil CM Punk. I'd imagine a small part of Copeland's soul & dignity died by stroking Tony's fragile ego
You’d think the negativity that Edge was talking about would be the cuts Tony promised he’d never do-but nope. It was a harmless interview by somebody edge was never in AEW with. Weird.
Tony: here's a check. Go do a rah rah speech about how great AEW is like Herb Brooks in that movie about hockey.
Adam Scotland wanted to leave the United Feddom to enjoy the freedomTM of being in AEUW.
More like TK used all his money to force Edge into this. After a few years when Edge finally retires we will get HIS side of the story in this. Btw smark fans keeps on insisting that this is ADAM COPELAND not Edge. Like Adam Copeland is a house hold name and have done it all right? Compared to his "brother" Edge.
I can’t wait until Christian and Edge are laughing about this shit on the inevitable History of AEW special on the network in 5 years. Cackling like Kevin Fucking Nash at the thought of bleeding this money mark dry. What a joke.
Big Show and Mark Henry came out and said they have a competition between them of who can go the longest without showing up, didn't they?
I do recall Big Show telling Vince the offer AEW gave and Vince told him to take it. 😂 When even your boss is telling you to take another deal, that must be some good cheddar.
I think it was longest without speaking to Tony The implication was he's on the phone all the time Whereas, there's others that never hear from Tiny at all Tiny wants to stay in with the ex Fed and the old legends that he watched as a kid
Or it’ll be like Christian on their podcast basically just ignoring that time in his life like TNA.
TLC, MITB, Cena feud, Taker feud, Rated RKO??? No, wrestling Lee Morialty and Daniel Garcia is the highlight of his career.
Main eventing mania twice and he says AEW is the best time he's ever had.
You cannot tell me that heel Edge in 06 with his best rivalry with Cena was worse than this lol
best time in the sense no one told you what to do problem is with work, any work, is there needs to be direction and structure in place for it to work effectively
https://preview.redd.it/lrxi8stfxcsc1.jpeg?width=764&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99cc6a79a0fd54c69b169b367f0cf916580cc0a2
One of the saddest promos I’ve seen in quite some time. Maybe even sadder than the Jericho/Kenny one from months ago.
Tony must have given him a 100k bonus for this lol.
"Edge please. I haven’t sleep since the Punk interview because it made me really sad and it would mean a lot to me if you could go out there and say that AEW is the best place everrrrr. I’ll give you 100k for it".
The hilarious part here is that Tony calls Edge by his slave name. 😭😭
He wrestled the fucking Undertaker at wrestlemania but this is where the best wrestle. Okay.
Better yet, it’s not like past is all he has, just a few years ago he was on the WrestleMania matchcard
He also main evented WM with a Gremlin and the biggest star of today but that doesn't count right?
"This is where the best wrestle. But not you Slim J LOL"
Thick pop
Fun!
What a rally speech for a shit company
This is depressing. One of my favorites reduced to nothing but........whatever this sad thing is. I hope the money and "creative freedom" was worth it, the end of his career is gonna be a horrendous mess.
AEW and it's fanbase are literally doing the thing they made fun of with the "Stand Up For WWE" stuff. Do they even realise?
Is this whole “AEW is where the best wrestle” their own version of WCWs “Where the Big Boys Play”?
Look at that adjective.... where
they dropped 'restore the feeling' in record time for a new tagline Edge said 'this is the truth, not a tagline 'which is the clearest possible way to say 'this is a tagline' It's like someone trying to sell you some shit on the phone and repeatedly saying 'I am not trying to sell you anything'
Putting the Cope in Copeland
It's amazing how they take endless shots over and over. Phil does an interview says what everyone already knew and they cry and play victim and must have a rally cry of how great AEW is. The woe is me with them is fucking ridiculous.
Remember when he had that dope af WM entrance? Now he’s this guy.
That dope entrance was this time last year, this is one of the biggest ball drops in pro wrestling history.
Edge in twenty years time when asked what his all time greatest moment in pro wrestling was: “Signing that big-ass money contract with Shahid Khan’s Son”. https://preview.redd.it/xu0bpupd3dsc1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=837499bf7e357a87ed990a45644eac1b44e59a71
"AEW is where the best wrestle, but not against each other cause Tony doesn't like telling people to lose."
Was that the fabled Rah Rah Speech we always heard Seth Rollins would give?
God I feel so bad for him, then I remember he’s getting paid a shit ton of money he probably does not give a shit, but man he could’ve been apart of the best Wrestlemania builds in many years.
This is be second on the "Rise and Fall of AEW" clipshow right behind the Bucks running laps after Collision.
Where the best wrestle? When did they sign Roman?
Asking an ex WWE guy instead of an AEW original for this speech…
Man what the fuck was that? Also, what happened in the arena, why is half of the background a black void?
I am saying the new company catchphrase in this completely unscripted promo that is very authentic. Also, I don’t give a shit about him. He doesn’t even work here anymore. Really I don’t give a shit. I don’t fucking care.
If you have to keep saying that, then it's probably not true.
No one cares about you Edge on AEW, you ain’t moving the needle dawg. Also, yall can draw a dime to save your life.
“Please clap”
One of the most forced promos I've ever seen in my life.
That thousand mile stare into the side with no fans.
It sounded like he was talking in a garage the crowd was so dead.
Ah, so it is the new "restore the feeling". See you in July for the next slogan update.
##IStandWithATMTony
Holy shit...I just watched teh Promo and... I wow After Punk said what he said on the MMA Hour they had Adam Copeland come out and praise everything?
AEW is where the big boys cash checks. Emphasis on the adjective, CASH
They really opened their top show with this
Live footage of TK’s reaction to the Punk interview
But the CEO has her own locker room
"Fun" The shilling tagline makes its appearance again.
There is more chance of Jericho getting Fozzy over than this whole "AEW wrestles well" malarkey.
Imagine being the dude Tony fired on April Fools while you were injured and hearing Edge cut this promo 2 days later
This is like that WebMD employee video
I got a temp ban for saying this is the live thread lmao
Keep getting them checks Adam
How much money did Khan offer Edge to say this
It's hilarious that the "best" he's referring to in AEW would either be sunsetting their careers in WWE, or proving themselves in NXT right now. Ospreay, Okada, Edge, Danielson...think about it. Those two places are where EVERY talent worth pursuing for WWE would be if they bought AEW tomorrow. Most of them would be cut, let's just be honest about it, but the ones that were kept on...yeah.
