      @@therayman4536 Yep. You can tell by his facials that it hurts him to do it sometimes tho. It's because he has friends there, and he doesn't want to be mean to them even though he knows the truth. Eric is speaking from a management perspective, and it gels with how many fans feel so the overwhelming majority line up behind Eric....for now. That could flip at any point. The most interesting thing about it to me is that the old promoter/executive and the fanbase are at the exact same point right now....that nearly never happens, and it shows how far gone Tony is running his company. It's obvious to anyone standing outside looking in that AEW is a dumpster fire. Possibly the nicest dumpster fire in history, as Tony seems to really be a good guy, but a directionless mess nonetheless. WCW was always derided as a place with no plan or structure, run by a "whiny little bitch" (Big Show said that lol) in Eric Bischoff, but we are watching that exact scenario in AEW right now, it's just that Tony is less a whiny bitch, and more a foolish rich mark, and a toxic optimist.

    Conrad’s grasping at straws. His point bringing up Cody Rhodes - Cody leaving WWE and launching AEW helped Cody hone his presentation and made him a top guy in AEW. Cody did that, not Tony, not AEW. Conrad’s point seems to be that AEW changed the landscape by affording Cody the room to work without creative limitations and - this is key - get HIMSELF over. AEW doesn’t get credit producing a top guy, they get credit for staying out of his way. Tony’s creative did not create Cody Rhodes.

    I agree with Eric Bischoff in that Cody would have happened without AEW. People tend to forget that Cody developed this "American Nightmare" character in Ring of Honor, IPW, TNA Wrestling, and New Japan. If anything AEW stunted his growth as a character because HE should have been their first world champion. Not Chris Jericho, and certainly not Jon Moxley as the second. The fact that it took 18 mos after the inception of that title before a NON-Former WWE guy was crowned Heavyweight Champion in AEW is ridiculous.

      Vince McMahon's vision for Cody Rhodes and what Cody became on his own are two vastly different things. Cody bet on himself and became a legitimate star outside of the WWE to the point where he was able to convince a billionaire mark's son to fund a passion project of his. I don't think Cody becomes who he is without leaving WWE.

Changing the wrestling world is a far cry from them having some kind of impact somewhere. And rather than Conrad disproving Eric, he just says he's dead wrong. Period.

Conrad just gets butt hurt because Tony is a buddy and he feels the need to defend his friends fantasy booking program. The more TK opens his mouth to elevate his company the more he loses fans or would be fans. He will have his loyal small group that will always defend him but that isn't going to get him to the top.

      That explains your WWE "kick in the pants" talking point.
      Also, Cody was never a star when he left WWE. He wasn't a star when he went to AEW.
      So there wasn't any value that WWE was missing in regards to Cody.
      Plus when he was at AEW he NEVER got over and was getting booed his last few months there.
      He came back to WWE with a story and a character that people believed in. Cody's years of hard work with the opportunities he earned from WWE is what made him the champion he is today.

    Conrad is out of line here. He is so blindly devoted to AEW, he is missing the points.
    Eric is absolutely right.
