Powell’s POV: This is a significant development given that Tony Khan previously kept wrestlers under contract for the duration of their deals. Khan has even taken jabs at WWE for making talent cuts. While I hate to see anyone lose their job, there’s no denying that AEW employed more talent than it needed. But the big question now is what caused Khan to change course regarding the way he approached contracts since the company was formed.
I thought the lord and savior of wrestling said he would never release anyone? Maybe old papa Khan took a look at the books or maybe the “massive” rights increase isn’t what Khan was expecting. Between this and the Punk interview Khan looks more of a clown than usual. I feel a Twitter meltdown coming
Mark.
Ooh my feelings are so hurt! These AEW apologists have such cutting remarks. You must read Meltzer
After punk interview, expect a tantrum real soon.
Stu Grayson fired again?
He’s turning into the Marty Jannetty of AEW.
Stu Grayson jumped through that window!
That’s a questionable use of the word talent.
Worst wrestling excrement marks out in force i see. The sex trafficking company has kicked that many wrestlers to the kerb over the years. Such a sordid place and the marks cream all over it. Aew release talents you never see and they cry and whine like its a crime. Look at the crimes of the cesspit you watch week in week out before judging anyone else. We know what the E is.
Go upstairs and have your mom make you another hot pocket. Cocaine Tony just cut Anthony Henry two weeks after he had surgery on his jaw and AEW didn’t pay a penny of the expenses.
That’s the dick you’re sucking right now. A piece of shit who cut a guy two weeks after he had surgery, without paying anything towards the surgery, thereby cutting off his income to be able to afford the surgery.
Hey, another negative comment about AEW from a guy who has such a pathetic life that he has to come to every AEW column and post a negative comment about a product he doesn’t like.
Easy to laugh at, but at the same time, pathetic.
And we realize you do it because you need attention and this is the only way you can get it since you’re a joke in real life, but I don’t mind giving you that attention because it means you’ll keep posting “OMG AEW SUCKS!’ comments and give us something to laugh at everytime. Thanks!
Well Dasha was good.
Lol
Disappointed to see Dasha go, she’s way better than Justin Roberts.
I like it. It’s sad to see people lose their jobs, but performance keeps you around and lack of getting people behind you causes you to be cut.
Tony has been WAY too nice for WAY too long, and finally maybe the business side is something he’s thinking about more than being a nice guy.
Hope all these ladies and gents find work elsewhere.
Tony is such a pathetic cunt that he cut Anthony Henry two weeks after he had surgery on his jaw and AEW didn’t put a single penny towards the costs of surgery.
