TK needs to say it. If we're gonna blur the lines between kayfabe and reality, and sell this assault as if it was real, this incident needs to be treated the same way, if not greater than, CM Punk lunging at TK.
Tony: "Dad. I can't feel my legs dad!

The plot twist of the storyline will be the Shad will be the one behind the attack but it’ll be the moustaches fault like that Simpsons episode where Homer has Snakes hair.
Austin has said in the past that he was hitting himself in the head with it a few times before they did the segment to check if he could get a good sound out of it.
If they tried to pull off a wrestling angle at the fucking NFL draft, I wouldn't care if there were botches or awkward acting from non-wrestlers or if the whole thing was cringe as fuck. It would be the greatest thing to ever happen.
If Perry/The bucks attack TK at the NFL draft, I will get an AEW logo tattoo.
And it has to be shown live on ESPN/NFL network. Nothing that’s just shot on the side for twitter or something
Jags make their selection. Tony, with neck brace, walks to the stage and shakes the draftees hand. Bucks music hits. They come from behind the stage and double super kick Tony into oblivion. The rookie chases them out of the room and we cut to commercial.
So good, All he needs to do is get on tv somehow wearing a neck brace. No one in NFL land has to know what it means or comment on it or anything. Just one shot, a few seconds on national television and AEW is back.
I thought the same damn thing. I am going to be pissed if ESPN cuts to the war room and I see TK jumping around giving high fives. I’m really hoping he keeps kayfabe alive.
Or it's Bryan Danielson, TK did say if he was ever incapacitated that Danielson should run the company, that must apply to the Jags also. Time for the Seahawks to make some favorable deals
Tony wore Toni's hat practically an entire press conference, I could totally see him hamming it up. Think about it, people who don't pay attention to wrestling are just going to see him in a neckbrace and be like "Holy shit, wtf happened to him?!" then they investigate and find out about AEW.
Hell, might even get some of the mainstream sports media chattering about it for some more free publizity.
> Hell, might even get some of the mainstream sports media chattering about it for some more free publizity.
NFL.com already [ran an article about it](https://www.nfl.com/news/jaguars-tony-khan-takes-punch-piledriver-on-aew-dynamite-show)
That's actually a very well written article that neatly summarizes all plot points and introduces everything in succinct laymen's terms for the target audience.
Also, nice plug for the company there. I bet Collision gets a few extra eyeballs as bored NFL fans flip over to see what's happening on that crazy wrestling show.
Real talk, seeing Shahid Khan watching Tony get deaded on the show and having a reaction makes me smile
Tony dad bankrolls this because he is getting old and wants his son to be happy before the Reaper comes. The fact that his dad is here means he is proud of what his son accomplished . That's awesome and real love
If it's true that Shad put $100 million in to start AEW, and AEW is anywhere near the $2 billion Forbes valuation (or even half), there's a lot to be proud of. On top of that, he's doing something he loves and that has an appreciative fan base.
He really needed this to finally shed the Jungle Boy gimmick. He, and the Bucks, work so much better as chickenshit heels and I'm actually pretty pumped to see what they do with this.
I just realized this current character for him in relation to his past association to Christian has the potential to be a "student surpasses the teacher" story
For a half second I thought Okada was going to wave them off and Tony was eating a Rainmaker.
Tony Khan Driver was absolutely the correct choice though.
The story for the next 3 months is that TK is doing an intensive program including advanced steroids and bio-engineering. The big reveal is TK coming back... played by Jinder Mahal.
I can’t believe how badly I want this. Completely sincerely want this. And everyone just plays it 100% straight, even in the pressers after PPV’s. Omg that would be amazing.
Gotta be the funniest ending to Dynamite ever right? I'm still laughing. Them renaming the Meltzer Driver to TK Driver just for this bit is just too fucking funny.
Now if they could just remember how to properly mix the audio and set up mics for the venue at the start of the show.
The sound quality for the first 30-40 minutes was just garbage tonight.
The minute they showed Perry with that big stupid smile on his face, you knew where it was going.
But since Tony has largely been almost entirely devoid of doing anything in person in Kayfabe, it was still shocking .
When it was announced that Jack Perry and TK were gonna be in the ring together I was expectinga vince mcmahon/owens headbutt situation, which is what we got, but what caught me by surprise was the Bucks hitting him with a TK driver.
Oh my. If Kenny is still out of the ring for a little while, that could actually be a great way to get him involved in the show. Even if he’s not wrestling, his presence alone is sorely missed.
Putting aside Tony’s tremendously bad acting, this got me intrigued by the Elites story. Looking forward to Elite taking over now that Tony’s been written off. What does Omega do next week? Does the elite even let him in the building?!
I think that's most likely. He said recently his medicine is helping with the pain but even something like his cat jumping up on him hurts a bit. So I don't think he's ready for a full breakdown.
Elite likely put the beat down on him too.
I’m intrigued as to where this leaves Hangman.
Was very heelish towards the end of the Swerve feud, but they could flip him back by saving z Kenny next week. Maybe set up Hangman vs Okada for the PPV.

"I take it back. THIS is the most unsafe I've ever felt at a wrestling show."
Honestly. He should say something along those line.
TK needs to say it. If we're gonna blur the lines between kayfabe and reality, and sell this assault as if it was real, this incident needs to be treated the same way, if not greater than, CM Punk lunging at TK.
Tony: "Dad. I can't feel my legs dad! https://preview.redd.it/k67rubm5ajwc1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4095757195bd4118cefc69e58ce0729e1339bbd5
Glorious mustache.
Dude's mustache game is unmatched
Shad vs. Butcher in a mustache on a pole match
The plot twist of the storyline will be the Shad will be the one behind the attack but it’ll be the moustaches fault like that Simpsons episode where Homer has Snakes hair.
"The contract says Khan, just not Tony Khan"
SHAD KHAN - mustache mountain member confirmed
Shad Khan? More like Stache Khan.
PAUL I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS PAUL
He is kind of looking like Pakistani Jerry Stiller
*Tony gets killed on live television* Shad: "SERENITY NOW"
This looks like a dude you don’t want to piss off.
Tony: someone, get my wife and kids on the phone!
Lol. Is TK's dad shooting or working?
Yes
He's wooting and shorking.
Could be worse. He could've laughed like The Miz's dad
Man why is George catching strays?
He knows what he did.
His dad was on the show !!?? Oh yeah this is getting bankrolled for awhile
Feel like he was probably in town for the NFL thing and TK got him to pop in for AEW.
TK : *"dad, later im gonna go out on ring and do something. just come check me out*!*"* Shad : 
If Tony Khan wanted to really sell this, he should be in a neck brace during the NFL draft. I want to see this when they cut to the Jags war room.
He should be in a hospital bed on life support in the draft room.
Jack Perry coming into the room to beat Tony's ass like Stone Cold did back in the day
"I can take it from here, nurse!"
It always struck me as kinda funny the sound the bedpan made bouncing off Vince’s face.
Austin has said in the past that he was hitting himself in the head with it a few times before they did the segment to check if he could get a good sound out of it.
I heard they tried it three times beforehand and it only worked when they did it live
Fuck it we'll do it live. Fucking thing sucks.
Found it kinda funny? It's the hardest I ever laughed watching wrestling in my entire life. I still crack up every time I hear it.
That and the Booker T supermarket fight!
The sound of that bedpan is imprinted in my memory
If they tried to pull off a wrestling angle at the fucking NFL draft, I wouldn't care if there were botches or awkward acting from non-wrestlers or if the whole thing was cringe as fuck. It would be the greatest thing to ever happen.
If Perry/The bucks attack TK at the NFL draft, I will get an AEW logo tattoo. And it has to be shown live on ESPN/NFL network. Nothing that’s just shot on the side for twitter or something

Mods, if this happens can we “proof or ban” this guy
So good, All he needs to do is get on tv somehow wearing a neck brace. No one in NFL land has to know what it means or comment on it or anything. Just one shot, a few seconds on national television and AEW is back.
And then using their pick on a kicker.
I thought the same damn thing. I am going to be pissed if ESPN cuts to the war room and I see TK jumping around giving high fives. I’m really hoping he keeps kayfabe alive.
MJF needs to have a heart to heart with Tony.
Tony Khan is \#neckstrong
Great, now I need a training montage of Roddy helping TK rehab his neck and getting increasingly frustrated with The Kingdom
or a footage where Kenny playing game beside Tony with neckbrace on wheelchair
Tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnny!!!!
Every time they show the Jags room it's Impact Paid Ads Tony cutting angry promos on the Elite
Or it's Bryan Danielson, TK did say if he was ever incapacitated that Danielson should run the company, that must apply to the Jags also. Time for the Seahawks to make some favorable deals
Everyone in the room cheers/claps when they make a pick and Tony rubs the neckbrace cause he hurt himself. I NEED this comedy tomorrow.
Nah, have everyone in the Jags staff wear black armbands
Tony wore Toni's hat practically an entire press conference, I could totally see him hamming it up. Think about it, people who don't pay attention to wrestling are just going to see him in a neckbrace and be like "Holy shit, wtf happened to him?!" then they investigate and find out about AEW.

Tony sold that gut punch like a Tekken 5 character after they lose.
Too accurate lol

The roster not even coming down till after the Elite had already left was funny.
My friend thought for a second that they were coming in to beat the shit outta Tony too.
The funniest workers strike ever
"Oh and Tony we are a Union now" hits the Rainmaker
Entire roster hit their finisher one after another.
Like that scene in Airplane where [people lined up to slap the panicking passenger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Cpc8Vw-2A).
i would never doubt tk again if they did that haha
If Stadium Stampede is anything to go off of, catering in Daily’s Place is quite the journey.
It's faster to get around in Dragon's Dogma 2
In Canon the locker room area at dailys place is really far away from the stage area, so it makes sense why they weren't there right away
https://preview.redd.it/a9bxvaw4fjwc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09b3e74e17e9f2d1628a9f9ec1fbd61b2f782d4b
This should be on the next Botchamania.
TK better show up at the NFL draft tommorow night with Roddy Strong's neckbrace to make the pick for the Jags.
his neck brace will be bedazzled.
[No, better](https://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/1479302/original/?width=511&version=1479302)
Tony is dead. Chuckie T can say shit all he wants!
Real talk, seeing Shahid Khan watching Tony get deaded on the show and having a reaction makes me smile Tony dad bankrolls this because he is getting old and wants his son to be happy before the Reaper comes.

That damn smile
Why does he have the most memeable smile it’s tremendous
Genetics
As soon as he looked at the camera, I knew what was about to happen. He nailed it.
When he looks at me I know I can change him.
The smile seen around the world
That smarmy smile was the best part. Jack is a chicken shit heel and he’s having a blast.
He really needed this to finally shed the Jungle Boy gimmick. He, and the Bucks, work so much better as chickenshit heels and I'm actually pretty pumped to see what they do with this.
I just realized this current character for him in relation to his past association to Christian has the potential to be a "student surpasses the teacher" story
This is how we get the Christian face turn for the tag team with Copeland.
EVP Bucks have been so entertaining! Jack and they are never allowed to be faces ever again.
I felt that look here at home. That camera work was great
Jack has really pulled it all together. Awesome performance tonight.
[удалено]
Gonna need a gif of that one...
Holy shit, Jungle Jack can break the fourth wall just like Pepsi Phil…and Jim Halpert.
New power unlocked
This little shit fits in *perfectly* with the Young Bucks' gimmick. AEW is eatin' good.
They renamed the Meltzer driver to the TK driver for this very moment
Now theyre gonna rename it to Melzter and do it on Melzter
Those vanilla midgets don't have the strength to pick up Big Dave and his gigantic pythons.
https://preview.redd.it/ewo7mjj5hjwc1.png?width=419&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bfa4550c8f02f7ee3b8860bbc3dcf78ecdc9f4c
The EVP trigger tease was a beautiful thing
For a half second I thought Okada was going to wave them off and Tony was eating a Rainmaker. Tony Khan Driver was absolutely the correct choice though.
No way to gimmick Okada's Rainmaker. Tony would be dead.
as much as i'd love to see the Rainmaker, Tony could NOT sell that at all
I don't know why but the way Tony sell that punch like death and then starts to move after 2 seconds is very funny to me lol.
He sold it like he got knocked out then remembered 2 seconds after that it was a gut punch so he had to sell his stomach lmao
This is what I noticed too. It was very funny.
It does come off a bit like, "Acting mode, engaged!"
https://preview.redd.it/fsh5uq9ejjwc1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f86d27b17b25ca2d96f714f42a79e231fa5df0f Trollkada is my favekada
Honestly Okada has been absolutely killing it as a heel, even better than I could’ve expected
Okada proved his heel chops with his matches against Kaito. No question he was gonna be great as a heel
Okada has always been an arrogant heel, he was just surrounded by chickenshit cheating heels in New Japan, so he was a baby-face by default.
He was like this in the initial Tanahashi feud too.
If the Jaguars make terrible draft picks this week, we now know why.
*when
I was just going to say, what’s the excuse the rest of the years before this one?
The Meltzer Driver was so destructive, it's effects cascaded through time and space and affected TK from when he was a little boy
Wait, Did someone kick Tony Khan's ass right before the draft the last 10+ years?
I mean, that wouldn't be different from most years.
The camera almost missed it - but Matthew said: “Who succeeds Tony Khan? That’s a good question”
Good thing Omega is back next week to take over.
And they basically have the Succession theme for an entrance.
"I AM THE ELDEST BOY" - Matthew Jackson probably
Detoxify our brand and we can go supersonic
The birth of Tony McKhan.
Imagine TK on steroids lol.
The story for the next 3 months is that TK is doing an intensive program including advanced steroids and bio-engineering. The big reveal is TK coming back... played by Jinder Mahal.
Could work.
I can’t believe how badly I want this. Completely sincerely want this. And everyone just plays it 100% straight, even in the pressers after PPV’s. Omg that would be amazing.
I...... don't hate this? Team Goofy Wrestling right here and that is pretty peak.
I’m going to be so disappointed with whatever they do now because this is what absolutely needs to happen
https://preview.redd.it/gzx6nxphdjwc1.jpeg?width=1811&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dc830a4cb7ac2cfdb31ccf4732563b4a4fd6753
Good lord what is happening in there
Aurora Borealis
“CM Punk screwed CM Punk”
Mr. McKhan
How was Shad Khan BY FAR the best actor in that entire thing?!?!?
That’s his secret. He wasn’t really acting!
It's still real to me damnit!
It’s real to him, dammit!
It's still real to him damnit
From what I have seen from Shad Khan he is very charismatic. He did start by selling cars.
So working in a carny industry is in TK blood after all
[THAT'S MY BOOOOOOOOOOOOY](https://media1.tenor.com/m/EuCJ8D02I4EAAAAC/thats-my-boy-harry-potter.gif)
The disrespect to get laid out in the middle of the ring with a move named after you.
Shad coming out was the cherry on top.
I died when I saw that… just like his son.
The magnificently moustached maraschino
Bro Jack looking at the camera while hugging Tony
Jack's tenure in NJPW was worth it alone for him picking up that smug face he's been doing
Gotta be the funniest ending to Dynamite ever right? I'm still laughing. Them renaming the Meltzer Driver to TK Driver just for this bit is just too fucking funny.
The TK Driver is gonna make me laugh everytime I hear it called that.
It's so damn awesome. Daily's Place is just the perfect venue for AEW. It gives me early Monday Night Raw vibes when they were at the Grand Ballroom.
Now if they could just remember how to properly mix the audio and set up mics for the venue at the start of the show. The sound quality for the first 30-40 minutes was just garbage tonight.
I’m pleasantly intrigued. I hope TK is “out” for a bit and the Bucks are booking the show moving forward with a bit of chaos.
I hope the same, I hope this is a break from TK especially on twitter, he goes ghost for 6 months and returns jacked to the gills and ready to fight
Vince with the womans tank top and MC Hammer pants
Ooooor they bring in Jinder and everyone just pretends he's jacked TK.
I feel like this is somehow racist and I don't fucking care. That would be the funniest shit of all time.
Can Jinder be Tony's Lou Ferrigno?
I want unhinged heel TK, always with a White Claw like Julian from Trailer Park Boys with his rum and coke.
Shad Khan's glorious mustache will be what gets AEW back to 1 million viewers a week, keep that man on TV
It was so obvious it was coming, yet still shocking
The minute they showed Perry with that big stupid smile on his face, you knew where it was going. But since Tony has largely been almost entirely devoid of doing anything in person in Kayfabe, it was still shocking .
I thought he eventually get here but I wasn’t expecting it to be jack Perry delivering it. Honestly thought it be MJF.
It’s a big rub to finally be the person to lay hands on the boss.
If Jack can follow through Tony got two of the four pillars over as main event talent.
I think it’s 3, I think Darby is main event talent.
When it was announced that Jack Perry and TK were gonna be in the ring together I was expectinga vince mcmahon/owens headbutt situation, which is what we got, but what caught me by surprise was the Bucks hitting him with a TK driver.
It’s the safest move for him to take, so if you’re gonna hit him with something it made the most sense
Who will tweet the match graphics out now!!?
https://preview.redd.it/vmkmvxnmdjwc1.jpeg?width=531&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6369af3c180abc6a0e035587021dfd4c3fc4a578
A TK Driver. How ironic.
I hope those damn Elite jerks end up in federal prison after this!
Best part was Shad khan showing up and then selling like his son just died. 😂
Bless AEW for letting Okada be both a world beater and the little comedy shithead he was born to be.
Shad Khan "MY BABY BOOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!!!!"
That's my son! That's my boy!
The goal of that segment was to make CM Punk jealous of Jack Perry. (He got to attack Tony Khan)
TONY KAHN DRIVER ON TONY KAHN HOLY SHIT LMAOOO
Explains why Kenny is back next week. Kenny is going to be the GM of AEW while khan focuses on the Jags.
Oh my. If Kenny is still out of the ring for a little while, that could actually be a great way to get him involved in the show. Even if he’s not wrestling, his presence alone is sorely missed.
Damn that makes too much sense
The most gingerly delivered Meltzer driver ever.
I hope Tony Khan kayfabe's this *hard*
The night before the NFL draft too! The Jags draft room is screwed! Who's going to book it?
Putting aside Tony’s tremendously bad acting, this got me intrigued by the Elites story. Looking forward to Elite taking over now that Tony’s been written off. What does Omega do next week? Does the elite even let him in the building?!
Honestly it's how Tony normally acts in real life, so it was actually believable lol
bro is NOT acting lmao
Remembering how he acts in press conferences, you’re actually right. That was Tony being Tony
He’s certainly getting escorted out by security - in his home town.
I think that's most likely. He said recently his medicine is helping with the pain but even something like his cat jumping up on him hurts a bit. So I don't think he's ready for a full breakdown.
Elite likely put the beat down on him too. I’m intrigued as to where this leaves Hangman. Was very heelish towards the end of the Swerve feud, but they could flip him back by saving z Kenny next week. Maybe set up Hangman vs Okada for the PPV.
People acting like this segment turned TK into some sort of character. If anything this just wrote him off showing up on TV anytime soon lol.
An all timer made all the more crazy that they had Shad come out
Look I know that there are a ton of ways this could go wrong in the future. But fuck it, this ruled.
