Al Snow on the Insecurity of Tony Khan
Ойын-сауық
Why does Tony Khan sit with talent at the AEW scrums? We've seen him sitting next to CM Punk and MJF while they go off on the microphone, but why is the AEW Owner there? Al Snow discusses with Vince Russo and Jeff Lane. Clip from Lions, Tigers, Bears & Head on Vince Russo's The Brand at ChannelAttitude.com

"you dont want to appeal to that (making most money, you want to appeal to the niche that say you had the best match" is an AMAZING quote to describe TK and AEW
Al Snow has one of the greatest modern wrestling minds. I'm surprised how he dosen't have a senior position at the WWE. Not only does he have the knowledge but he has a pragmatic level headed approach to where he can apply that knowledge well.

Naw. He is a teenage WWE fanboy that funded a promotion to play promoter on, like a WWE 2k wrestling game. I believe he really does mean well, he just doesnt understand that is presence is more like a groupie backstage at a rock show.
Al Snow should be a producer or on the writing team in WWE. His mind for wrestling just makes total absolute sense
Seems like Tony is trying to be a little Dana White with post fight press conference. Let the talent speak and then you can have your solo moment.
I like the WWE scrums because Triple H uses it as a state of the WWE address. Moreover, the WWE talent at those scrums answer a few questions and are out.

Nick Khan calling Tony “the kid”, was a great description. 😂
No lies told here
There was that one scrum where Tony Khan was going in hard on how important CM Punk was to AEW. It was totally unprofessional. Tony was screaming, and swearing how much Punk has done. Tony sounded like the kind of person who is bragging how good they are at Call of Duty. There was one point where Punk had to tell Tony to move on from that and to answer some other questions, it was embarrassing.
I once said if I was actually in charge of AEW, the first rule I would implement is that Tony Khan has to get off television and off Twitter.

Al made a great point about appealing to a niche audience but it seems like in the last 10 years pro wrestling as a whole has become very niche even in the WWE. You used to see more kids and families showing up for a raw taping now its a mostly dudes in their 20's/30's/40's

Facts
Tony Khan is the modern day Herb Abrams
Nash called the media scrums a gimmick!😂😂
No, he puts over the wrestlers and the platform they're on.
We again saw the difference in approach from Triple H and Tony Khan's post event conferences after Survivor Series: Triple H -makes the lead in -puts over the entire talent and company -provides actual figures/news/updates -leaves, and lets the talent to the talking after -lasts about less than an hour Tony Khan -stays in the center of attention -"everything's great/I thought we had a great show/we've been on our best run" -always beside the talent -lasts nearly 2 and a half hours
Triple H does the same like Tony, he sit near the talents during their media scrum.

The scrums aren’t great on either side, but I don’t see wwe exposing the business, wrestlers going into business for themselves, hhh hugging the crap out of talant, and been a paranoid little child.
Al snow is the man for what he’s saying I wanna be hulk hogan and Andre the giant what happened to wrestling today. I’m not sold. With these high flyers 😂😂
I'm in the Twilight Zone. Vince Russo and Jim Cornette strongly agree on something. We all know Jim would agree with Al Snow, because he's an actual wrestling guy who understands the business and how it works when it generates money. It's just amazing to me that Jim and Vince agree on something so passionately. In general, having a "media scrum" after a wrestling event is idiotic. But if you're going to do it, at least work people. Don't put on a halfway decent show (at least when MJF is around) and then immediately sit down and tell everyone it was fake and stupid and "here's the behind the scenes." What makes MJF MJF is that he's that way all the time when the cameras are rolling or he's in public or online. He suspends your disbelief and pulls you in. No other wrestler today is even attempting to do that. Oh right, one did, and his bosses/coworkers (so stupid) tried to run him out of the company for exposing them and actually drawing decent money by modern standards without the WWE machine.

Nick Khan called Tony, “the kid”. Don’t think anyone in the wrestling industry respects Tony
Seems I never disagree with, Al. Bottomline is that this guy is a former pro wrestler that understands the business from both ends of it. He thinks before he speaks and he speaks intelligently and practical.
For a second I thought there was a kid behind Al in the corner. I think it might be a ballon but for a second there I was waiting for him to get jumped by a masked Lucha dor
It's a simple as this, Tony wants to put himself on the same level as Vince Mcmahon. He wants that "breakout thing" that makes him a superstar promoter/business person and that's the driving force behind what he does and if there's anything detrimental to that, whether it be from people inside of AEW or anyone outside of it, he take's that very personally and see's it as a challenge to him, and maybe even his family.

Al is right,wrestlers today dont seem to want to make money they want to appease 1 person... dave meltzer. because they want the magic 5 stars or above... they seem to forget its a business and the point is to be the main event to make more money..
Thank you Al, someone had to say the truth
Always loved all snow
I love Al Snow. One of the best undercard characters of the attitude era that was very over. I guess to hear fresh opinions off him I'll tolerate it having to be via Russo's gimmick.
Tony really does need to hire someone that has presence; someone to represent the company in the media.
Take care of your throat Al..You sound bad man.
I mean they don't have alternative media present. It's all "We love it and we love you Tony"
Spot on assessment.

Snow is correct in his logic, but I do believe situations are different for certain people. Tony has his quirks, but he also has millions. For the situation he's in, he's doing well. Of course he'll make mistakes, especially in the minds of the people who claim to know everything. Curious to see where AEW goes in 2 years.
i disagree
Tony Khan is a goof.
I’d take this serious more if Vince Russo didn’t put himself constantly on tv and in matches in both tna and wcw. Khan hasn’t been in matches yet and i only see him on tv once in a while
It is always funny to me to listen to people that the industry is done with and already spit out thinking they know better than anyone that is actually currently involved. LOL Jealousy is a mother fucker. At least they can all still panhandle for scraps with their podcasts.

Tony does a lot of dumb things. Running off Cody Rhodes, putting so much into Jade and having her walk, bringing Shaq in one time, not keeping CM Punk separate on his own show so no problems would arise, not standing up to talent so they respect him, having MJF as champ (dude cannot shut up about WWE and makes AEW look small time), punishing big guys for being big guys and keeping them far away from titles, buying ROH and failing to make that what Collision is now, not having the ref stop that Mox match then coming out to dance while Mox was concussed, and many more things. Dude is tone deaf.
Al Snow sounds like a very bitter guy. Sounds like Tony Khan told Al he wasn't a fan and he wasn't going to give him a job. After insulting TK for two minutes he says its not personal or trying to insult. Lol, sure! There are a lot of experts out there talking about everything Tony khan's doing wrong. Meanwhile he has three shows on network TV and he's turning million dollar profits on a business that just turned four.

The AEW Hate Industrial Complex is alive and well. Glad they are keeping the lights on for you guys. Also, what exactly did Tony say to make you think he wants to be the next Heyman or Cornette when those are on-screen characters? Man, there are so many good criticisms you could have but these aren't hitting like you think they are.
I Honestly disagree. I NEVER, EVER enjoy neither Hogan, nor Andre. My favorite guys, always were more technical guys. Cruiserweights, for example. When a wrestler is known to have "5 moves of death", I switch the channel when such wrestler is on TV. I would go out of my way to see matches of Eddie Guererro, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Norman Smiley and many many other technicians. Over roided monsters who do 5 moves and have NO idea how to sell (Hogan) are BORING to me. Body slam, lariat, legdrop = Yawnfest. Give me Zach Sabre Jr, Marty Skurl, Motor City Machineguns and Jon Gresham.
Kahn would just be another neck beard mark if it wasn't for his old man
“Mom wake up! The bitter old heads are interviewing each other”
they're also for the fans. I love them.
I think Tony is trying to create a character to displace criticism off of him as a person/owner/boss. Even the douchey haircut seems to play into the character of this mark billionaire kid who lets the wrestlers run the show and has no control.
It's hilarious listening to two of the most insecure people ever in the wrestling business talk about someone else being Insecure. LMAOOOOOOOOO
