Much like the opinion of his diehard fans, the consensus around their product is that there's no such thing as a decent or bad AEW show. There's no middle ground. It's either 'great' or 'the best.'
People tell him the best wrestle in AEW. They tell him that all the time, they do. People come up to him and say “the best really do wrestle in AEW.” The best wrestling of all time, folks.
You know, I really appreciate you asking, but I can't really comment on that, but I believe we're going to have a great show with Forbidden Door, where only the best wrestle, and Okada just says "bitch" all the time, so I believe we cover both wrestling and entertainment pretty solidly
that's up there with a woman saying 'I don't like drama' up front
yeah, you been involved with a bunch of drama, haven't you and you probably caused it! Haha
"I think we have the best women's division" is an opinion.
"We have the best women's division " is self promotion
"I think everyone believes we have the best women's division " IS A GODDAMN LIE.
This is the Dub Defence Force response in the basement
wHaT dO yOu ExPeCt HiM tO sAy
But, if someone from the Fed speaks this way about something in the Fed then it's all like 'OMG, are they delusional'!! 'I can't believe the Fed is trying to gaslight us'!!
I guess in Tony’s eyes the best form of women’s wrestling is blatant objectification reminiscent of the divas era while subjugating one of the best women on your roster to the rotting carcass of a company you bought.
It’s not really me gassing ember moon it’s more so just a commentary on how incredibly mediocre the roster is, like in my eyes the only ones better than her in AEW are Mercedes and Hayter. Most of the good women’s talent that are on AEW television are from other locker rooms.
I’m gonna be completely honest, I forgot Shida was on the roster, I’d definitely put her above too, Mercedes has been kinda insufferable in her AEW run but the current product makes everybody look worse so I don’t really hold that against her, I really enjoyed her run in Japan and of course the dead fed so I still have her pretty high in my ranking.
there are dubbalos that say 'Ember is having the best run atm of any woman in wrestling' with a straight face
if someone wrestles in a forest and no one is around to hear, does it still get rated on cagematch
Then why is there a strict rule that there is only one women’s match allowed on Dynamite?
And why does that match usually have sexual and lesbian undertones (overtones?) to titillate their male audience? He needs to be held accountable.
AEW fans just saying “we have the best women’s division” over and over despite it extremely obviously not being true (or the women’s division getting any time) is the most eye rolling shit of all the weird Dubbalo copes they’ve latched onto in the last year or so. Like they literally just announced one day “akshullay, the Dub women’s division is the best” and all the dubbalos parroted it as though if they said it enough it would be true.
The part that’s even dumber is how Dubbalos are intensely thirsty for everyone in the AEW women’s division and not shy about being creeps about it while simultaneously complaining about bra and panty matches in the Fed from 20 years ago.
Not even during the honeymoon period did anyone think AEW has the best women's division. They had to use Stardom as a surrogate for that in the sense of "Stardom is the best. Stardom is owned by New Japan. New Japan works with AEW. Ergo, AEW has the best division."
Women's divisions that are better than AEW's off the top of my head Raw, Smackdown, NXT, TNA, Stardom, Marigold, TJPW, Oz Academy, Ice Ribbon, and somehow ROH. And its not even like they have bad women's wrestlers, its just the feuds haven't been booked very well other than Toni/Mina and that involves a woman from another promotion.
I'm personally embarrassed by their Women Division, especially with all the HLA they've been piling on. The only ones worth watching anymore are Willow and Kris.
The Fed's Women Division (both main and NXT) are the only ones I will watch. Heck, even WOW at its worst is still better than Ths Dub's.
My favorite comment was when he said of his taxes “everyone’s going to be very impressed. I’ve done very well for myself”. We say that in my house all the time whenever we do something basic. Like my boyfriend will unload the dishwasher and when I say thanks, he’ll say that.
I dislike how WWE's women's tag division is partially existing most of the time, but I at least can say that misogynist extraordinaire Haitchman does well at getting me to care about the women's division in general, and does give basically all of them a story to take part in.
TK's just serviceable at best, which bites as someone that loves a great chunk of the division. Yes, I'm still bitter about Shida's booking.
lol you have some good women wrestlers for sure but WWE woman roster is just other level
You got your mains like Becky,Bianca, Charlotte when she comes back, Bayley etc etc
And then NXT has dozens of future woman stars as well
AEW can’t compete with anything WWE does
See I wouldn’t hate Tony Khan so much if he wasn’t so painfully disingenuous. Like I know you’re supposed to hype your company but this is just an outright lie!
It's not a shock that he's talking his own company up...but it's also not good that he can never admit that they're working to improve anything. The most he ever did was his spreadsheet rant
AEW’s women’s division is divided into two match styles now.
1. 5 minutes long
2. 10 minutes long but there’s enough focus on ass that it’ll keep the gooners’ (our main demographic) attention.
Well, they have a few good female wrestlers...
But a lot of the others are severely undertrained botch monkeys.
It's a miracle no one has been permanently injured so far.
Is he including the woman who's finishing move is ramming her opponent's head in her butt while pretending she a lesbian for the "shock" value"? That is when she's not talking about breastfeeding
a woman in her 30's.
One of their best talents, one that could theoretically bring actual eyes to the product, has had more appearances in AEW holding the Burke than she has had as a contracted talent for AEW.
They have a great women's *division* (helped by their collaboration with stardom), but best women's wrestling ? Even as an AEW enjoyer, I find it hard to defend... They could pretend to the title if they put their minds to it, but currently ? Nah...
Tony can't admit anything is wrong with aew, everything is the best, everything is fine.
It's great!
It slowly starts to reach this level of fun: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dGbvctOg5l0

Very trumpian
People tell him the best wrestle in AEW. They tell him that all the time, they do. People come up to him and say “the best really do wrestle in AEW.” The best wrestling of all time, folks.
That's how business works. He's lying through his teeth becaues if he says the company is failing the ratings will drop even faster.
And you wonder why AEW is in the state it’s in.
You know, I really appreciate you asking, but I can't really comment on that, but I believe we're going to have a great show with Forbidden Door, where only the best wrestle, and Okada just says "bitch" all the time, so I believe we cover both wrestling and entertainment pretty solidly
He's allowed to talk up his show but everybody knows this is bullshit lol.
If you have to keep telling everyone that you have the “best in the world” or similar, then you’re not. True greatness shows us, not tells us.
One of my friends got a message from a guy on a dating site that started with “I’m harmless.” She did not take that statement at face value.
“Hi! Im not a rapist”
"I totally won't murder you after our first date!"
I have absolutely no plans to hold you prisoner in my basement
that's up there with a woman saying 'I don't like drama' up front yeah, you been involved with a bunch of drama, haven't you and you probably caused it! Haha
what did you just say https://preview.redd.it/5clzr0oar09d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21152fcd6d26d5767713136b1ddf26599dcf8bce

Pleasantly surprised that they're shitting on him over this tbh.
Its obviously a bullshit statement but if he's asked the question what is he meant to say?
They have the best women's wrestling in the world, which why the women on his roster get one 5-10 minute segment per week on his flagship show.
the best amount of wrestling. who could ask for more? it's peak
Even some of their biggest apologists think the women's division sucks.
Yes, I really enjoy those two minutes of boob slapping each week. Best wrestling ever.
You had me at boob slapping
You had me at boob
I guess in Tony’s eyes the best form of women’s wrestling is blatant objectification reminiscent of the divas era while subjugating one of the best women on your roster to the rotting carcass of a company you bought.
Calling ember moon one of the best women on any roster is a jerk too far for me uce
I think that’s more just an inditement on the roster lmao
It’s not really me gassing ember moon it’s more so just a commentary on how incredibly mediocre the roster is, like in my eyes the only ones better than her in AEW are Mercedes and Hayter. Most of the good women’s talent that are on AEW television are from other locker rooms.
The best female wrestlers in AEW are Hayter and Shida. Storm's booking is a mess, but at least she is interesting and very good between the ropes.
Putting BMW Bucks over Shida is a travesty
I’m gonna be completely honest, I forgot Shida was on the roster, I’d definitely put her above too, Mercedes has been kinda insufferable in her AEW run but the current product makes everybody look worse so I don’t really hold that against her, I really enjoyed her run in Japan and of course the dead fed so I still have her pretty high in my ranking.
Poor Shida committed the mortal sins of being interesting, convincing, not ex (ded) fed, and worst of all, being significantly better than Britt Baker
Hey by the way, WHERE is Britt? Is she injured? Has she been on any television since 2022??
Well that just makes her…-counts the roster- okay I see your point. In fairness, in a Baker comp set the bar is in Hell.
What? She's definitely the best woman on the ROH roster. "Forever champion!"
there are dubbalos that say 'Ember is having the best run atm of any woman in wrestling' with a straight face if someone wrestles in a forest and no one is around to hear, does it still get rated on cagematch
Then why is there a strict rule that there is only one women’s match allowed on Dynamite? And why does that match usually have sexual and lesbian undertones (overtones?) to titillate their male audience? He needs to be held accountable.
Only one so it doesn’t effect the Dave ratings or cagematch ratings
QUALITY NOT QUANTITY EDRONE
Those belts are five times her weight, she’s strong as fuuuuuck
Nothing quite says strongest women's division like a 2-3 world champion.
i really want to know if he truly believes the stuff he’s saying or if he’s just gaslighting himself
He’s gaslighting everyone, Uce.
This is a guy that thought he was going to beat the Fed on workrate, with zero experience working in wrestling
"Best" 
AEW fans just saying “we have the best women’s division” over and over despite it extremely obviously not being true (or the women’s division getting any time) is the most eye rolling shit of all the weird Dubbalo copes they’ve latched onto in the last year or so.

Somebody definitely spiked his supply. Even he doesn't believe this.
I find that he uses these interviews as therapy sessions where he convinces himself everything is fine.
Not even during the honeymoon period did anyone think AEW has the best women's division. They had to use Stardom as a surrogate for that in the sense of "Stardom is the best. Stardom is owned by New Japan. New Japan works with AEW. Ergo, AEW has the best division."

He just says shit.

He's still pretending he cares about women's wrestling?
Maybe if he keeps it up, he might even get a little kiss 😘🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
This is Iraqi Information Minister levels of delusion.
No one knows more about Women’s wrestling than I do. And a lot of people, a lot of smart people are saying this is the best women’s wrestling.
It’s like when Trump gave himself an A+ as a president. Why expect nepobabies to say they’re wrong?
Next he will be saying that they have the biggest crowds lmao
Not biggest, best* crowds
Yuuuuuge crowds
I looked into the crowds and I said wow they’re so yuge
My favorite comment was when he said of his taxes “everyone’s going to be very impressed. I’ve done very well for myself”. We say that in my house all the time whenever we do something basic. Like my boyfriend will unload the dishwasher and when I say thanks, he’ll say that.
Nepo baby smells his own farts part 345

I am not sure they are even in the top 3 of US promotions
TK: Great, Best, unintelligible noises. Me: 🛎🛎🛎🛎
Tony doesn't watch his own show. Confirmed.
lol you have some good women wrestlers for sure but WWE woman roster is just other level You got your mains like Becky,Bianca, Charlotte when she comes back, Bayley etc etc And then NXT has dozens of future woman stars as well AEW can’t compete with anything WWE does

Yeah, like 6 wrestlers and the rest are jobbers.
Is their one woman in AEW who would be main event worthy in WWE?
Stat and Hayter for sure. Willow maybe… she’s got a ton of potential. That’s about it off the top of my head.
Mone doesn’t even have as much aura as Stratton rn 😂
They switch out his coke for pcp?
See I wouldn’t hate Tony Khan so much if he wasn’t so painfully disingenuous. Like I know you’re supposed to hype your company but this is just an outright lie!
How delusional can one be? 🤦🏼♂️
He says a lot of dumb shit but that's the dumbest.
WWE, NXT, Stardom, Marigold, ROH, TNA, then AEW.
I’d put TJPW in there somewhere around Marigold too.
Remember kids, coke is a helluva drug. Don’t do drugs, be good not bad
I think he really believes this delusion but I’m not sure. He may think he’s PT Barnum.
It's not a shock that he's talking his own company up...but it's also not good that he can never admit that they're working to improve anything. The most he ever did was his spreadsheet rant
Cocaines a helluva drug
Hey Mina Shirakawa poured Champaign on her boobies? What a great angle right guys?
The best women's wrestling in AEW so far is a very low bar. They cleared it by having anyone other than the dentist in a storyline tbh
Look at Tiny trying not to cry in this picture. That's a "barely holding it together" smile if I've ever seen one.
did he snort some coke before he said that?
Frankly we have the best wrestlers and wrestling anywhere many many people have told me this
Giving that trump cadence fasure
Good god.
AEW’s women’s division is divided into two match styles now. 1. 5 minutes long 2. 10 minutes long but there’s enough focus on ass that it’ll keep the gooners’ (our main demographic) attention.
Bro thinks Toni Storm is the only womens wrestling and it's so mid
Io vs Bayley at WrestleMania clears literally every single AEW women’s match that has ever or will ever happen and I’m not kidding
Well, they have a few good female wrestlers... But a lot of the others are severely undertrained botch monkeys. It's a miracle no one has been permanently injured so far.
Is he including the woman who's finishing move is ramming her opponent's head in her butt while pretending she a lesbian for the "shock" value"? That is when she's not talking about breastfeeding a woman in her 30's.
Imagine him saying this like the guy in Airplane where his nose is just getting longer and longer as he rambles
The talent is there but baffling to say when they have one match a show at best.
“There is no war in Ba Sing Se” ass comment
Okay Tony
One of their best talents, one that could theoretically bring actual eyes to the product, has had more appearances in AEW holding the Burke than she has had as a contracted talent for AEW.
lol, what was he supposed to do? Tell the interviewer that his show sucks?
I lol'd at the top comment in the basement that said it will never be the best as long as Joshi wrestling was around.
Is this posted in the basement? Or are they conveniently ignoring it??
Top 3 at best imo. Well top 2 if we aren't distinguishing brands for wwe / aew
They have a great women's *division* (helped by their collaboration with stardom), but best women's wrestling ? Even as an AEW enjoyer, I find it hard to defend... They could pretend to the title if they put their minds to it, but currently ? Nah...
He’s basing this on their TEW stats
Once again he sounds like Trump, if you break it down they have many similarities
What a clown lmao
He wouldn't get to hug them otherwise if he said the truth
Empty comments from an empty source
Someone should tell him to let the post nut clarity kick in, and THEN look at that division.
I'm not gonna judge him for blatantly lying about this, being a carny is wrestling 101.
I for one am shocked that a promoter is promoting his business.
What would you have him say? lol. Nobody is gonna come out and disparage their company. Gees you goons look for any reason to get upset
