Is AEW Really the Pepsi of Professional Wrestling? - 616Wrestling.
Спорт
All Elite Wrestling founder Tony Khan was recently interviewed on the NFL Network sporting a neck brace attributed to the brutal and devastating attack perpetrated against him by his own employees. During this short interview, Tony Khan made sure to mention that AEW airs on Wednesday and Saturdays on TNT and TBS. He mentioned that viewers will have to tune in to get an update on his condition. And he also compared WWE to convicted felon Harvey Weinstein and called AEW "the Pepsi of pro wrestling." Today, I'll investigate how true this statement actually is.

Dude fire and toilets, you'd think it'd be foolproof.
Tony Khan's biggest strength is also his biggest weakness. He is a wrestling fan. On the one hand, he's living every diehard wrestling fan's dream by running and booking his own wrestling company. Having said that, he is allowing himself to be consumed by the toxic tribalism within wrestling culture. I for one love AEW. It is the only wrestling that I watch, and it genuinely brought me back as a fan starting with the original All-In. For the first 2 years of their existence, AEW was an actual wrestling alternative. In recent years TK has allowed AEW to experience the pitfalls of a wrestling company such as; misuse of talent (Ethan Page most recent example) and focusing on why the competition "sucks" rather than why AEW is "better." As for the "Pepsi Weinstein" comment, it is in poor taste, and grossly mistimed. I could see this comparison as having weight if Vince McMahon was still running WWE. Now that Triple H is running it, even though the modern WWE product is not for me, I cannot deny that it is leagues better than it was under the previous regime.

You think it was just Vince doing all of the fucked up shit? There’s multiple people named in multiple lawsuits and you’d have to be insanely delusional to think HHH and other people weren’t involved as well

Not to mention Pepsi isn't number one in their industry, Coca-Cola is hahahah. TK is such a dee dee dee
AEW vs WWE is like if two cowboys showed up to a duel and right at high noon one of the cowboys shoots themselves.
If Tony ever mentions “Coke” in any context, the portion of the internet for wrestling will break.

On board for more wrestling current events content Ian. Keep up great work.
This was another banger episode of 616Wrestling. Hearing the comparisons of Pepsi and AEW truly made me laugh so hard, and I never realized just how similar both the soft drink and wrestling industries are. Just wow. Also that ending, I swear to god, I lost it. You were hoping for a taste of Brandi, only to get Dustin😂🤣😂🤣 This is why I love your content, Ian. You truly never fail on keeping us entertained, and I have to thank you for that😊. I hope you and all the DanDans have a safe and lovely weekend. I love you all.❤️

That out of nowhere confession made my entire day. Thank you sir!
The Pepsi and Coke analogy was spot on. They're different enough, but they're both really good! Sometimes you want one more than the other, but it doesn't take away the goodness.
I always enjoy getting to hear you talk about wrestling, and I especially appreciate the mindset of "you don't have to JUST like one or the other", that being said, the ending had me crying with laughter
That was a good soda analogy...it's just cody rhodes.
By far the best vids this lovely channels has produced this year .. this and mythology is a close 2nd
Hey Ian, do more stuff like this on your channel I really enjoyed it and it adds variety
The short answer? …no.
Great video. Love you highlighting that ultimately, having two major companies is a good thing (even if one is definitely hotter than the other one right now)
As a kid I legit took the Pepsi Challenge at a water park when they brought it back in the late 90's. I chose Coke lol. Also marking out for the WCW vs. The World background track.
I’m finally getting the chance to watch this, and man is is great. Brilliant allegory, it’s absolutely spot on. I’m loving this series!
“Do you really wanna live in a world without Coca-Cola?”
Oohweeeeeee, it's Dustin, it's Dustin! 😅 I laughed at that bit harder than I should have 🤣 great video dude!
Lol this was good one as usual, good stuff brotha.
Well you can't spell Pepsi without A E W or Harvey Weinstein without W W E.

This has been a very informal taste test video. 👍🏽🥤
The opening to this is fantastic.
You had me crying at that final bit. I give it 7 stars.
That ending was phenomenal! 🤣🤣🤣
i member when DDP was bein shoot interviewed bout when WCW was bought out n said he didn't want either brand to go away. he said Pepsi n Coke as much as the brands are not too fond of each other, but they need each other. in other words they bring out the best in each other. a lil competition never hurted anybody. that rings true even today.
When they first started I would have considered them pepsi but the quality has been on the decline so there more like offbrand soda now.
dude i did the same thing but with Stacey Keibler's bikini pictures. glad i wasn't caught.
Hahahaha I woke up to the Torrie wilson story 😂😂 pure gold!
To Be Honest AEW Is The Comedy Central To WWE's Adult Swim and I like AEW heck CC was always trying to one the Cartoon Network block for decades and that's why South Park was always their ace In the hole and they recently announced a adult animation version of Sega's Golden Axe alongside Digman and the previously mentioned South Park fingers crossed It succeeds
I feel like if Vince was still in charge of WWE it would’ve been accurate to say that because we all know how Vince is but the fact that TK said that the very same day that all of Vince’s shares sold and he was officially out of WWE makes him look even worse
Lol I literally did the same thing with the Torrie playboy pics other than setting them on fire 😂
Thank you for this video. I love both companies but it has become clear that something is way off with AEW recently and it does stem from TK and his antics. Similar to another commenter he is a wrestling fan first and a boss second and that has tainted the massive progress that AEW could have and why wwe is super hot. I was at mania this year since it was a quick train ride from me in Philly and the emotions and energy were so high all weekend and why they are the hot ticket. Tna is improving as well. AEW needs to go back to its roots and if TK needs to be brushed aside for a bit to give someone else the reigns and he handles the money then it could be back. PS: I prefer Pepsi over Coke myself cause it has a stronger taste but a good old Root Beer is comfort.
Man if you can figure out the formula to get Brandi Rhodes please tell us.
Funny. Checking out the new lime Pepsi as I watch this. Not bad. Great episode tho.
I was hesitant about the yogurt and milk sodas.........They're better than you would think
Besides the punk footage I like the EVP bucks okada stuff and that footage did help Jack Perry but it wasn't needed but he's still awesome as the scapegoat...
I applaud the video concept and execution

You are the Pepsi of commenters.
In a sense, it is because wrestling company in the wild the husband has successful as they have been. However, do I consider it up there in terms of they are fully where they need to be not quite yet. Could they be maybe, but Tony Khan has to quit making mistakes and getting in his own way. This is coming from an AEW fan, by the way.
Brandy is Dr. Pepper or MUG Root Beer!
What does that even mean? He really needs to evict WWE from his head.
That last bit almost made me spit out my Coke.
your story at the beginning gave me major kevin steen austin entrance vibes: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o2ut0a99e5ibdpc.html
Dunno if this is relevant for someone but I just want to say I'm happy for nic Nemeth being the new mega campeón of AAA🎉 just random comment
Tony mentioned Pepsi because it’s Punks favorite drink so it was subliminal to Punk that he chose to leave the beloved Pepsi and go to the competition. Ok 100% serious that this is why Tony said it
Ignoring the dig at Punk and WWE, Tony's analogy is like saying steak is better than a hammer. I mean sure if I'm hungry, but I'm not going to use a steak to hit a nail.

Dude there has been very, very little WWE dogpiling in these comments and surprisingly more AEW fans offended that I would've expected. This is a stupid comedy show, I feel like I've made it so clear that no one show be taking things seriously here, but some just don't get it. =/ Someone told me I was carrying "the AEW hate narrative" forward and "being counter productive." First of all, I don't care about some online jabroni's "narrative." Second of all, yes, YOU nailed it, TK is the one being counter productive. It's sad. I like AEW, too. I've been on with AEW since day one. Things have not been great lately, it is what it is.

@@616Entertainment yeah dude, it’s so toxic. Both WWE and AEW fans. I personally prefer AEW, but It’s just a preference. Best example I can think of: Cody/Reigns at WM40 and Ospreay/Danielson at Dynasty. Which is better? IT’S SUBJECTIVE! Both are great matches, but in different ways. If you like Storytelling over Wrestling, then you like Cody/Reigns. If you like Wrestling over Storytelling, then you like Ospreay/Danielson. But because of toxicity, both matches are horrible depending on which side you’re in. That’s the IWC and I choose to stay away. I don’t even comment on wrestling posts on Instagram, and if I do, I delete them right away because I know the heat is coming.

The Jolt cola of wrestling.
Look in my eyes whay do you see, tony khan drinks flat pepsi, leaves out and open, warm 6 days bad, i wish he lesrned to book a tucking match hehe
More like RC Cola than Pepsi............
More like the Royal Crown of wrestling.
Honestly I'm starting to prefer these over the retrospectives
I'll try Pepsi Yogurt !
They wish they were pepsi, more of an RC Cola.
Ironically the guy with the Pepsi tattoo is no longer in AEW Edit: Just got to the 8:49 mark haha
They're more-so the RC Cola of wrestling
he may not be wrong given wat Vince is being accused of.
You cant be the pepsi if you fired CM punk
Does one thing cool and immediately fucked it up
Cmon now we all know CM Punk will always be the Pepsi of Pro Wrestling 😆🤣

AEW has the chance to majorly suceed, expecially with the roster they have. If only Tony Kahn would focus and not feed the tribalism.
Tony Kahn’s remarks on his interview were kinda repulsive. Honestly AEW has kinda lost its appeal to me. Wrestling in general I suppose but I can still tolerate WWE. Pepsi is very good I’ve always enjoyed it better than Coca-Cola. Although I haven’t drank soda in so many years. Just being honest AEW will never take the professional wrestling crown away from WWE! They’re the juggernaut. AEW will always be number 2 but that’s not a bad thing. If anyone thinks of wrestling they think of WWE and AEW both products are very profitable. Nice video Ian 👍🏻
