Let's be honest he has more product knowledge than Tony. Glad Shane wasn't allowed lower himself

quiet-one-tonight.bsky.social•2 days ago

Glad Tony was smart there.

davec726.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony made the right call. It’s incredible Shane wanted to takeover the entire company Day 1 instead of proving his worth first. All this time people wanted to say he’s different, but like father like son

jonnyjonman.bsky.social•2 days ago

it be ironic if him attending his mothers confirmationing hearing bit him in the ass or knowing that the courts dropped every court case involving Vince

davec726.bsky.social•2 days ago

This was apparently a one and done meeting well before the confirmation

andrewisgood.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good for Tony. I was open-minded with him being an on-screen character, but he dodged a bullet. The only person I would offer equity to to sign with AEW is Cody Rhodes.

jay8614.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not even

bruinsfool.bsky.social•2 days ago

Barf. So glad Tony passed. I’ll never forget how he ruined that Royal Rumble.

ianbrooks.bsky.social•2 days ago

WWE fans glazing Shane for falling off high things really made him think he could run shit, huh?

ramiking745.bsky.social•2 days ago

Without knowing much myself, I think that was for the best that Tony passed up on that.

realbigkris.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony made the right call, and I wanted Shane to be a part of the BCC/Death Riders story. But giving the former heir to the WWE empire the keys to yours, would be an incredibly stupid move.

anthonybrennan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Probably showed up to the meeting in a wet bathing suit, crushing Red Bulls & White Claws

vectorheart.bsky.social•2 days ago

A grim side of me would have loved to have seen this. Being a fan of car crash TV. But realistically no id never want this.

Nepobaby shows up to job interview unprepared 🤣

monicaheythere.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sounds more like he was prepared for a job that was never offered to him...🤣

grahamkahr.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m good never knowing. Tony having the book works for me.

aprilbathory.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know Tony isn’t a stupid man. Having Shane do anything with AEW would be like having a fox in the henhouse.

joekalicki.bsky.social•2 days ago

Anything except purely being a contracted on camera performer should be out of the question

aprilbathory.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just don’t think the other guys kid should be involved at all.

1000000% agree

codyfu1989.bsky.social•2 days ago

WOW...

That's fucking world stopping news!!!

lordomlette.bsky.social•2 days ago

We were THIS close to getting AEW Underground smh

realbigkris.bsky.social•2 days ago

Meh, go watch Josh Barnett's Bloodsport

lordomlette.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't think GCW has/had cage dancers (I could be wrong)

untamedbrain.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why? What did Shane have to do with LU?

davepozefsky.bsky.social•2 days ago

they're talking about RAW Underground, not Lucha Underground.

untamedbrain.bsky.social•2 days ago

I remember hearing those words in that order but I must not have ever seen it.

"in the AEW"? Is Bret Hart secretly writing your posts?

Bret, if it's you, tell us how much you hate Goldberg

switchbabeeexo.bsky.social•2 days ago

*Bill Goldberg

you fool THAT WAS THE TEST

switchbabeeexo.bsky.social•2 days ago

IM SORRY 😭

bruinsfool.bsky.social•2 days ago

I love it when Bret mentions it. Always out of the blue.

kuenkuenluenglueng.bsky.social•2 days ago

ficcoeshumanas.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony is not dumb. Shane is an asset, but not as great as he think he is. It is the old McMahon mentality.

Think God TK isn't falling for this shit. I think the whole CM Punk ordeal woke him up.

tmp32.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh thank FUCK

daryllbenjamin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hahaha…

kingedawg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeeeeaaah they dodged a bullet there. I like Shane but having a McMahon in AEW as anything beyond on-screen talent would be extraordinarily bad

shawnvanhorn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony Khan has made a lot of mistakes but this wasn't one of them. Shane McMahon would have destroyed AEW.

adudecalledmomma.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, thank fuck.

killemfaulkner.bsky.social•2 days ago

A McMahon wanting to be in charge of something despite being entirely out of touch and not knowing what they're doing? No way, it couldn't be (oh right that could apply to all of them)

thegoonkills.bsky.social•2 days ago

Takes after his mother

sagemom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Seriously, thank god. Well done TK.

I will still pop if he shows up in an onscreen role.

jay8614.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think the entire family is on drugs what was Shane thinking?

thegilmour.bsky.social•2 days ago

Holy shit. Good.

darius1c.bsky.social•2 days ago

Look.. Shane is cool, Shane was cool in the early 2000s.

Let's not pretend he can run shit or has anything more than a Last Name and a few good ideas over the years.

It woulda been neat, but if it isnt gonna run smoothly as an idea, why pull the trigger?

TK did the right thing

davelanger.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank goodness

93418.bsky.social•2 days ago

So Mox was right, it really wouldn't have been Tony's company anymore.

frankakadar.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony was smart not to do business with a McMahon.

shintigercurl.bsky.social•2 days ago

having shane as a on-screen talent like a manager and something to do in the back is good for me.

actually running shit? hell no.

entersandwich.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wanted Shane to come in and jump off a cage or two, not run the company.

afjkidd5.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank God.

billythiex.bsky.social•2 days ago

I really hope that Danielson wants to come back down the road and really be a big player behind the scenes.

billythiex.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tony isn't a moron, so it's not surprising that he would pass on all that nonsense. And he would atleast entertain the idea of a meeting to see if anything was there should say something too.
