the GCW thing is prolly gonna be difficult for Danhausen. The guy has been donig quite a few dates with them this year. I think it was more or less his base before the other indys, so if the ban is company-wide, then I'm pretty sure he is not gonna be too happy about it
I must say, after having been a wrestling fan for so many years, it is nice to see two companies beefing where one of them is not WWE. WWE can actually sit back, eat popcorn and go....not our fault this time!
Totally agree with AEW. You cant go around bad mouthing them, and then expect them to let you use their talent. Its just a shame that wrestlers from both companies are the ones who will lose out on it

@@shiva0 It wasn't Ricky. It was one of the higher ups in GCW. That's why it was a sweeping pull of EVERYONE in AEW from appearing on GCW, Ricky is just the most notable name since he just made his appearance there
Happy with the venue change. I switched my accomodation to a nicer place that's 10 minutes from the venue, 15 minutes from the airport and, most importantly, 20 minutes from Bluey’s World. Edit: Mid-Feb at Suncorp Stadium would have been stinking hot.
I'm glad I didn't buy my tickets yet. I'll be visiting family at that time (I'm in Canada) so now I can get some good seats (and air conditioning too lmao)
They already know that no matter what that he will be leaving when his contract is up. So what is the point that if no matter what this guy will leave? Yes he had momentum but he’s been public about going to wwe and that seems recently to be the killer.
@@imobjectivelybalancedonTHEball and that’s the issue, TK has proven that he doesn’t want to release you and that he also will be petty over that you no matter what are leaving and will not let any kind of a run make you stay.
@@imobjectivelybalancedonTHEballEdge said it best, he's a vanilla midget version of the Rock. Ricky screwed Ricky. It's just that easy. Ricky refused creative when it was offered. That's on him. He isn't trying to get on TV by pitching stories to AEW either.
I am sure Bayley, Naomi and Tamina went to an AEW show to watch Mercedes Mone. I think I remember Charlotte Flair was reported to have been backstage at AEW when Andrade was working there. So it seems a bit ridiculous for Ricky Starks to have gotten heat in AEW for being at WWE shows.
If I interpreted that Starks quote right it seems it wasn't heat from anyone in management, since he says TK was fine with it. Seems more likely it was some of the wrestlers who are more tribal about it
I believe Mox and the Death riders just appeared on GCW so idk if I’m ready to believe this is the full reasoning. Even if he said something about your father don’t take that out on Ricky, the man just wants to wrestle which he hasn’t been able to for months.
@@doomsday519 effy was still there helping run the event, Blood Sport is Barnetts idea and Booked by him but it’s still a GCW show, just look at the ring when Mox / DR show up, it has a huge GCW logo on it😂

@bhhdty2272 Don't pretend WWE hasn't send shots their way lol Also, there's a difference here in that the person attacked Tony's dad for no reason.

I bet in the how ever many months ricky been off tv he has showed up backstage at wwe more than aew. You can tell he is all about himself and i dont miss him on tv i hope tk leaves him at home
Tony Khan is probably making empty promises to Ricky to bring him back to TV so they can kill his momentum rn. If Starks left for WWE rn he'd have so much momentum coming in due to the treatment he's getting from AEW.
@thecat2587 While I'm sure you have examples and are right to an extent but WWE creates more stars than any other company out there. Every AEW wrestler who has come over to WWE has been booked a lot better than they were getting.
He has no momentum right now. TK already killed it instead of capitalizing on the guy while he's in AEW and I dunno maybe trying to convince him to stay.
@shiva0 Tony Khan keeping him off tv and the promo he just cut not too long ago further pushes the narrative that Ricky is being held back but the fans want him. It's kinda like Daniel Bryan in 2014 the fans want him but the company isn't doing much with him until the fans put him in the spot he was in. AEW and Starks have the potential to do the same thing but knowing Tony his personal feelings are going to get in the way of good business. Which is why I say if he left for WWE he'd have something similar to Punks momentum disgruntled former employees who were misused for whatever reason.

I think picking up an option year on someone's contract, when you have no plans to actually use them is definitely doing something wrong. The guy is wasting years of his prime sitting at home waiting for a contract to run out. Just because his boss is too much of a manchild to either sort out whatever the problem is, or let him go. He's definitely doing something ethically wrong if not legally wrong.
And a reason why aew stars do not want to go to gcw because WWE stars are there and do not want their company talent wrestling them, but they didn't say anything about Ring of Honor wrestling to gcw
It's TK being immature, not the talent not wanting to go... The talent are literally all friends between the companies, so they're gonna want to go. TK just doesn't know how to act his age not his shoe size, and separate business from personal.
And just because the reporting source didn't specifically say anything about ROH, you're either naive or dumb if you don't think that TK'll end up doing the same to ROH within a week (exaggerated for hyperbole as Simon would say) but you get my point
Tony has become everything he criticised the WWE for. Fires people while they are injured, doesn't let people see their friends without drama, blocks people from indie dates.
@@NinjaStroll He fired Anthony Henry when he had a broken jaw, but he rehired him after he got a backlash from the fans and critics (WC reported that a few months ago).

Next day she’s not allowed to leave the house and can’t be on social media. 💀 but ppl say she should be happy to have money to stay at home. 😂
I notice as soon as they have to talk s**t about AEW Andy Murray is no where to be found. But if the news is bashing WWE Andy Murray is front and center reading the news, and adding his own two cents to the story.
People have always said that Tony Khan is a nice guy and criticized him up and down for it (some people, quite publicly) So when he acts like a businessman, he gets criticism for it too. It's ridiculous. AEW has a lot of challenges/problems. But if they're now adapating to the terrain and going 'okay, we can't sell this stadium out, so let's move it to a small venue' or 'we need our TV tapinngs to be more intimate - 4000 people in a 16,000 seat arena is horrible for television but it's great in the right venue for 4000 and we'll do arenas for PPV' I see a company that's starting to correct their mistakes. And I don't know about anyone else but if you bad mouth my business and my family, you won't get a nice guy anymore. So good on him.
4000? Try more like 18hundred to 23hundred they have much bigger issues than just what venues to choose. And forcing another year on talent you have no intention on using just to keep him out of wwe and trying to sabotage his career isn't business it's pettiness
Didn’t Ricky Starks already get passed over by WWE? I remember seeing him on there a few years ago even though it wasn’t much, if Ricky Starks signed a contract with AEW it’s his fault if he’s under contract no matter what happens, when they offered him matches he shouldn’t have turned them down & he could’ve been working & at least keeping his name out there until his contract is up & then move on.
The effy comments were so insanely mild. Hard to imagine anybody was legit offended by them. I guess independent contractor means the opposite of independent…
Tony Khan between pulling folks from GCW, all the people he's keeping off TV, and that deal to keep any Indie folks they use from showing up on WWE (even though they rush to book any Indie wrestler WWE uses)? He is just being Vince McMahon before we knew the extent of the sexual allegations, if there was a shady trick Vince would use, TK is the one rushing to use it now. He's damaging any goodwill AEW had left with this nonsense.
I love watching AEW but the way it’s run it so dumb never fire people won’t extend contracts like wwe etc then doing those things and pulling people from shows he won’t use on TV
Tony literally had the blueprint of what not to do and he still does it 😂 people go on so much about Vince yet I didn't see any delusional twitter meltdowns from Vince
I don't think Vince even extended someone's contract for a year just to have them sit at home. At the very least he would've pulled them in to catering every week just so they showed up for work. It's a crime that someone in their prime like Ricky is being forced to sit at home, Because AEW extended his contract for a year.
@@thatblindtekkenwarrior1177 exactly people comparing tk to Vince but McMahon literally never held a wrestler hostage just to keep him away from another promotion
So tell us again Tony how your talent aren't "independent contactors" and you'll let your talent have freedom? Anybody that defends this guy is just a pathetic troll at this point
Tony just can't win, i guess. People talking for years about how he's a wimpy fanboy who lets people walk all over him. Now he takes a stand and people hate on him for that, too.
@ReeceJim let's be real here. For a long time, professional wrestling was declining and unwatchable. I like WWE, but NEVER want to see a monopoly again.
@ReeceJim Plus, am I not supposed to support some of my favorite wrestlers because they left WWE for AEW? Jon Moxley, Edge & Christian, Sasha Banks, FTR, etc
Ricky is one of the most charismatic and talented performers AEW has signed. The fact he sits at home due to childish decision-making is truly a loss for all those who love professional wrestling. We are missing out on this man's formative years simply because a billionaire has the ego of a 7 year old not getting his way.
When punk and the bucks had issues, , wrestling fans were like, "TK needs to be a boss and handle this". TK being a boss dealing with Ricky Starks, "no not like that"
It was gonna happen sooner or later. Tony takes alot of shit from the wrestling world. He is a bad booker and you can critic that but i think he gets shit on for everything. He sems like a nice guy but i think punk broke him. Now tony is like no more mr nice guys. Screw you all. All because of punk and the iwc
Not sure if it's the same event Michael thinking of, but Southside wrestling here in the UK had a load of NXT UK talent booked and on the weekend of the show the "stopping" of this happened. Cody who had a good relationship with Southside helped secure a load of AEW talent to appear on the show
Tk needs to learn nothing is personal in business. He’s too soft to play with real businessmen. You guys slammed Vince for stifling talent. How come tk gets such a soft touch?
@@michael-orian5773 Effy is not a representative of GCW, he’s talent, and he didn’t say anything that wasn’t true: AEW is backed by billionaire Shad Khan. So Tony pulling Ricky from a GCW show because Effy said a true statement that Tony is embarrassed by is in fact soft. If Brett Lauderdale got on a live mic and cut a shoot promo on AEW and Tony himself, then we can talk about the owner of one promotion taking shots are the other.
Starks bin caught in crossfire here, but 4 effy 2 go there in regards 2 khan's family weather he's right or not is uncalled for especially when he's a aew signed wrestler
I've never seen such dumb comments!! Starks wanted to go to wwe so badly that he started flaunting it in aew. Because you marks are simple, understand im not letting no wrestler brag about another promotion while i pay you, and you still think you're going to be all over my booking!! Next time starks learn to shut up, fenix is learning the same lesson🤣🤣🤣
When did he express wanting to go to wwe on live aew tv? He simply supported his friend cody just like Bayley and Naomi went to support mone at an aew show except tk took it like a lil b*tch
@mikemadsen7926 no if you remember they had to hide themselves when they went to Tokyo for mercedes. Unfortunately, the pics got out and look bayley , no belt and naomi after tna is done
@@jasoneaster6979 they were at big business an aew show they posted video,s of it on their personal instagrams all took pictures together. Wwe wrestlers are backstage of aew shows all the time it Is permitted especially since some of the wwe wrestlers are dating aew wrestlers. I don't think tk had a problem with starks being backstage but he doesn't like that he's friends with cody and cm punk
I'm sick of Tony Khan and aew and they're ridiculous bull crap I'm not watching for a long time I really got to take a break because the Angles and stories are so trash 80% of the wrestling is trash and forgettable and they have zero height and they disrespect their own wrestlers worse then WWE and Vince McMahon ever did they talk about aew being good for wrestlers but to me it just seems like a liberal version of Vince McMahon with bad ideas and nobody needed that I really championed for this company and was rooting for it but it's too self predatory and it's like a whole bunch of pompous uppity fools smelling their own farts in a cup maybe I'll come back in a couple of years if it's still here or maybe it be forgotten harder than WCW
It’s not dead but more like a deadbeat dad that every once in a awhile hits it out of the park just by actually showing up to your birthday or little league game other ways fails you 99% of the time
AEW was the only place i could actually watch decent in ring wrestling , but i actually watched NXT the last couple weeks and they are actually putting on excellent matches on weekly TV , No idea why anyone watches WWE live on TV when you can get all the important content from their uploaded youtube clips and save yourself 90 minutes of commercials
the GCW thing is prolly gonna be difficult for Danhausen. The guy has been donig quite a few dates with them this year. I think it was more or less his base before the other indys, so if the ban is company-wide, then I'm pretty sure he is not gonna be too happy about it

I notice as soon as they have to talk s**t about AEW Andy Murray is no where to be found. But if the news is bashing WWE Andy Murray is front and center reading the news, and adding his own two cents to the story.
What show do u watch ? I haven't seen them "Bash" WWE in months , every news video has multiple negative news pieces on AEW
Cant a man take a holiday
Well think about why. Hasn’t been a lot to bash.
@Dx-so7jm he takes shots at WWE for stuff he praises aew about almost every clip.
It’s weird to have it out for a specific guy because he doesn’t like your brand. But that’s certainly not tribalism 👀😐
People have always said that Tony Khan is a nice guy and criticized him up and down for it (some people, quite publicly) So when he acts like a businessman, he gets criticism for it too. It's ridiculous.
AEW has a lot of challenges/problems. But if they're now adapating to the terrain and going 'okay, we can't sell this stadium out, so let's move it to a small venue' or 'we need our TV tapinngs to be more intimate - 4000 people in a 16,000 seat arena is horrible for television but it's great in the right venue for 4000 and we'll do arenas for PPV' I see a company that's starting to correct their mistakes. And I don't know about anyone else but if you bad mouth my business and my family, you won't get a nice guy anymore. So good on him.
4000? Try more like 18hundred to 23hundred they have much bigger issues than just what venues to choose. And forcing another year on talent you have no intention on using just to keep him out of wwe and trying to sabotage his career isn't business it's pettiness
Didn’t Ricky Starks already get passed over by WWE? I remember seeing him on there a few years ago even though it wasn’t much, if Ricky Starks signed a contract with AEW it’s his fault if he’s under contract no matter what happens, when they offered him matches he shouldn’t have turned them down & he could’ve been working & at least keeping his name out there until his contract is up & then move on.
Think that was at OTT?
The best two are back.
I'll never understand the appeal of Starks. He's terrible
It’s a shame that Tony is such a petty person
The effy comments were so insanely mild. Hard to imagine anybody was legit offended by them.
I guess independent contractor means the opposite of independent…
Tony Khan between pulling folks from GCW, all the people he's keeping off TV, and that deal to keep any Indie folks they use from showing up on WWE (even though they rush to book any Indie wrestler WWE uses)? He is just being Vince McMahon before we knew the extent of the sexual allegations, if there was a shady trick Vince would use, TK is the one rushing to use it now. He's damaging any goodwill AEW had left with this nonsense.
To me this is Tony being spiteful and that’s ridiculous, just release the man
Simon Miller vs Matt Cardona?
I love watching AEW but the way it’s run it so dumb never fire people won’t extend contracts like wwe etc then doing those things and pulling people from shows he won’t use on TV
Tony the man child being petty? Who'da thunk it
matt camp is now with aew
Since Vince left Tony Khan has taken the top spot as a heel wrestling company owner.
Tony literally had the blueprint of what not to do and he still does it 😂 people go on so much about Vince yet I didn't see any delusional twitter meltdowns from Vince
I don't think Vince even extended someone's contract for a year just to have them sit at home. At the very least he would've pulled them in to catering every week just so they showed up for work. It's a crime that someone in their prime like Ricky is being forced to sit at home, Because AEW extended his contract for a year.
@@thatblindtekkenwarrior1177 exactly people comparing tk to Vince but McMahon literally never held a wrestler hostage just to keep him away from another promotion
It's too bad that Ricky Starks is stuck in the middle of two feuding companies.
So tell us again Tony how your talent aren't "independent contactors" and you'll let your talent have freedom?
Anybody that defends this guy is just a pathetic troll at this point
Ricky starks was going to the WWE
Hopefully because I don't miss him on tv
Is Ricky Starks that good?
Tony just can't win, i guess. People talking for years about how he's a wimpy fanboy who lets people walk all over him. Now he takes a stand and people hate on him for that, too.
Takes a stand? Guy is straight up being petty just because starks was backstage at a wwe show. Naomi and Bayley got to see mone at an aew show
Not so independent contractors, let’s just be straight up about it.
Does AEW have "no fahking mates" in Australia? 😂
What a Vince thing to do lmao
aew pulling Ricky starks from gcw shows not right ridiculous this time its not wwe did something wrong its aew
It is strange, AEW have become more of the old McMahon WWE, and WWe is becoming more Early AEW........
I am a wrestling fan, there is room for all..
AEW thought they’d be competing with WWE but now having beef with GCW. In the mud.
Ricky Starks is ridiculous.
Why is it okay for WWE to not allow the wrestlers to wrestle for three months for any other company but it is wrong front for AEW?
Tony Khan in the right for doing this
No wtf made you say that? Ricky deserves respect and not getting treated like garbage almost all the roster to! Do better!
Good job, Effy
Anyting against aew.. i m with them
That's sad.
@@Mr.HootieHooRattled
@ReeceJim let's be real here. For a long time, professional wrestling was declining and unwatchable. I like WWE, but NEVER want to see a monopoly again.
@ReeceJim Plus, am I not supposed to support some of my favorite wrestlers because they left WWE for AEW? Jon Moxley, Edge & Christian, Sasha Banks, FTR, etc
@@Mr.HootieHoo Triggered
I can’t wait for the AEW episode of DSOTR.
Whats DSOTR stand for ?
@@QAZ-OMEN Dark Side of The Ring.
@paullihat7561 that will be good.
aew is my sweet 16 from mtv in wrestling buisness.....
Pool Matt Camp. What a downgrade
Il laugh if wwe doesn't want him
Ricky is one of the most charismatic and talented performers AEW has signed. The fact he sits at home due to childish decision-making is truly a loss for all those who love professional wrestling. We are missing out on this man's formative years simply because a billionaire has the ego of a 7 year old not getting his way.
Just watch Ricky and listen to him talk. He only cares about himself and that probably the reason he isn't used
When punk and the bucks had issues, , wrestling fans were like, "TK needs to be a boss and handle this". TK being a boss dealing with Ricky Starks, "no not like that"
TONY SUCKS😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tony is a small and petty man. He will not allow Ricky to work anywhere.
🤣🤣🤣
Starks is really good friends with Punk. Tony has buried or forced talent that really supports Punk.
Name examples. That’s fake news.
But how will plumber moxley do all of his garbage matches now? He’ll demand to do them all on aew tv!!!! God help us all.
Oh look - an example of the cancer in the IWC. Grow up.
It was gonna happen sooner or later. Tony takes alot of shit from the wrestling world. He is a bad booker and you can critic that but i think he gets shit on for everything. He sems like a nice guy but i think punk broke him. Now tony is like no more mr nice guys. Screw you all. All because of punk and the iwc
Tk lil ego is costing him viewers and talent. He's screwing over his own company and wonders why tickets and viewers are low
Not sure if it's the same event Michael thinking of, but Southside wrestling here in the UK had a load of NXT UK talent booked and on the weekend of the show the "stopping" of this happened. Cody who had a good relationship with Southside helped secure a load of AEW talent to appear on the show
UA-cam Vs Dailymotion Sounds Alot Better than AEW Vs GCW but who's complaining
Petty af. Nice going, secondary promotion!
Tk needs to learn nothing is personal in business. He’s too soft to play with real businessmen. You guys slammed Vince for stifling talent. How come tk gets such a soft touch?
Otherwise he won't allow his wrestlers to do interviews or anything with them
Tony who takes shots at the WWE all the time because "thats how wrestling works" complains when someone takes a shot at him
Lol. Pulling wrestlers because the company is disrespectful is soft? Wouldn't it be the other way around?
@@michael-orian5773 Effy is not a representative of GCW, he’s talent, and he didn’t say anything that wasn’t true: AEW is backed by billionaire Shad Khan. So Tony pulling Ricky from a GCW show because Effy said a true statement that Tony is embarrassed by is in fact soft. If Brett Lauderdale got on a live mic and cut a shoot promo on AEW and Tony himself, then we can talk about the owner of one promotion taking shots are the other.
Because he's the good guy
😂 🤦🏿♂️ England is in AEW pocket. You guys are like Fox News to the republicans. 🤦🏿♂️
Do a podcast on the whole Ricky Starks situation
Starks bin caught in crossfire here, but 4 effy 2 go there in regards 2 khan's family weather he's right or not is uncalled for especially when he's a aew signed wrestler
I've never seen such dumb comments!! Starks wanted to go to wwe so badly that he started flaunting it in aew. Because you marks are simple, understand im not letting no wrestler brag about another promotion while i pay you, and you still think you're going to be all over my booking!! Next time starks learn to shut up, fenix is learning the same lesson🤣🤣🤣
You definitely didn't watch the CVV interview.
When did he express wanting to go to wwe on live aew tv? He simply supported his friend cody just like Bayley and Naomi went to support mone at an aew show except tk took it like a lil b*tch
@mikemadsen7926 no if you remember they had to hide themselves when they went to Tokyo for mercedes. Unfortunately, the pics got out and look bayley , no belt and naomi after tna is done
@@jasoneaster6979 they were at big business an aew show they posted video,s of it on their personal instagrams all took pictures together. Wwe wrestlers are backstage of aew shows all the time it Is permitted especially since some of the wwe wrestlers are dating aew wrestlers. I don't think tk had a problem with starks being backstage but he doesn't like that he's friends with cody and cm punk
I'm sick of Tony Khan and aew and they're ridiculous bull crap I'm not watching for a long time I really got to take a break because the Angles and stories are so trash 80% of the wrestling is trash and forgettable and they have zero height and they disrespect their own wrestlers worse then WWE and Vince McMahon ever did they talk about aew being good for wrestlers but to me it just seems like a liberal version of Vince McMahon with bad ideas and nobody needed that I really championed for this company and was rooting for it but it's too self predatory and it's like a whole bunch of pompous uppity fools smelling their own farts in a cup maybe I'll come back in a couple of years if it's still here or maybe it be forgotten harder than WCW
Who cares Ricky Starks is just a mid carder
So your news video is a recap of a CVV video
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He did it to himself AEW is fine without him.
Tony books the show.
Anthony Mckhanoki
2 days in a row no wwe news ffs. Couldn't give a toss about aew
Today there are topics to criticise aew, and Mark Murray is not here, wow whatculture
Thank God Mark Murray is not here
Finally! no andy Murray so I can watch a whatculture video on peace
Tony khan is worths that vince mchahon
Aew is such a joke. They either fire their stars or they remove them from booking. Dead company.
It’s not dead but more like a deadbeat dad that every once in a awhile hits it out of the park just by actually showing up to your birthday or little league game other ways fails you 99% of the time
@@nerdbomber is that from your experience?
@@juanheredia9297 yup no wonder he went into into detail lmfao
AEW was the only place i could actually watch decent in ring wrestling , but i actually watched NXT the last couple weeks and they are actually putting on excellent matches on weekly TV ,
No idea why anyone watches WWE live on TV when you can get all the important content from their uploaded youtube clips and save yourself 90 minutes of commercials
