Poster dares criticize something AEW related with the numerous allegations coming out about harrassment/rape and other shit in the wrestling community, including some about AEW talent:
Tony Khan is making Vince McMahon look like Gandhi
Responses are exactly as you would expect
This is a fucking stretch and you know it. What a useless comparison. Yeah, I don't have faith in Khan to handle this well if at all because he's a rich asshole. But this doesn't make him VKM levels of human shit. Talk to me once he's covered up a rape of one of the women's talent at the hands of the US ARMY because he doesn't want to lose a fucking ad deal, knowingly played a part in the death of a beloved talent like Owen Hart, accepted blood money from a prince complicit in the murder of a journalist for a shitty show in Saudi Arabia or gotten someone out of their murder charges with bribery. But until that shit happens? This kind of commentary is nothing and serves only to distract from the matters at hand and the things we should be expecting Khan to do as an acceptable response to these stories coming to light.
This isn't a defense. It's squashing pointless comparisons. Stick to listening to the women and keep an eye on how they deal with this.
"Listen to the women but ignore that AEW literally just had convicted rapist Mike Tyson on for a PPV and the first weekly show following the PPV. So Khan may not be great but he's not Vince levels of bad!"
I get you’re emotional but please do some research on Vince McMahon before saying something like this again in future.
you clearly do not know vince mcmahon
This one ignores the fact the person being dog piled said IF this is the case:
You start the whataboutism and then complain about the whataboutism. foh
I mean Vince covered up a murder and has protected pedophiles in his company, soo...
I mean Tony Khan has a man now accused of rape working in his company (Jimmy Havoc, a wrestler) and instead of flat out firing him, the company Twitter page says "we hope he can work out his issues while he's away" which is a pretty big WTF kind of response to the accusation. But DEFEND AEW AT ALL COSTS so hypocrisy ahoy!
There's nothing that can make Vince look like Ghandi. He is pure evil. If AEW doesn't appropriately act on serious allegations, that makes them shitty but not even remotely close to what Vince has done over the years.
Paying Mike Tyson for two appearances in your company is Vince levels of bad, no matter how large the AEW blinders you have on are. But again, defend the honor of AEW no matter what!
The furious defense in that thread after that comment is amazing.
