Tony Khan raised expectations for his latest “big announcement” segment on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. “This is something I’ve dreamed of for years,” Khan told Justin Barrasso of SI.com. “It’s a huge milestone for AEW, and I can’t wait to talk about it. There will be fans around the world who will be excited—it is one of the most important announcements ever in AEW.” Read more at SI.com.
Powell’s POV: Khan’s past announcements have been hit and miss, so I like that he’s making it clear that he feels this is a big one. Of course, now he has to back it up with an announcement that actually lives up to this level of hype. Join Jake Barnett for his live review of AEW Dynamite as the show airs tonight on TBS at 7CT/8ET.
Bullshit
Only time will tell, but I’d use that same description for your glowing review of one of the most panned Raws there’s been in a long time.
Based on the words he used, I’d guess it’s an overseas show or tour. If so, not something to hype this much imo.
Agreed. It would be welcome news for overseas fans in the markets they visit, but a groaner for everyone else given that level of hype.
I’m not reporting this or I would run it on the main page. But since you brought it up, I did ask around and one person I spoke with who is typically in the know believes it’s an overseas stadium show.
Purchase of New Japan?
He is going to grow a mustache and dye his hair.
Oh wait. We already had that one this week…
And eyebrows. Don’t forget to dye the eyebrows!
Tony Khan is basically the new Dixie Carter. He is constantly hyping “big” announcements, and they wind up usually being nothing. I am not surprised considering he is very unlikeable.
Answer this question. Is this announcement # 9247 or have I missed a major announcement here & there & lost count? Truthfully, with all his “major announcement BS, Tony Khan has become the Dixie Carter of today. Isn’t it getting just a tad ridiculous?
Wait, Mr. Impact is insulting Dixie Carter? You can’t make it up.
One can only hope he starts the show off with this load of shit announcement so everyone can change the channel after.
Not insulting Dixie Carter. Just letting people know that the Khan Man is just as ridiculous as Dixie was in overhyping & not delivering. But yet, no one has the balls to call the Khan Man out on that like everyone (me included) did to Dixie.
Really? Because I just spent time talking about it on Wade Keller’s podcast yesterday and have spoken about overdoing it with the big announcements countless times. Sometimes I wonder what you read and listen to.
