That’s definitely what I’m thinking but I would say it’s safe to assume that whomever it was is from NJPW management. They value the relationship with AEW to strengthen their US presence (not gonna comment on whether it’s working or not…)

He apologized at the end of the broadcast. Not sure if it was a work or if he went into business for himself. I won’t even try to guess at what he was trying to accomplish. It happened and it’s largely a non-issue in my eyes

BUT, I do think it’s ridiculous to criticize Tony for signing the Elite. They were leaving NJPW regardless whether is was for upstart AEW or to WWE. If you’re starting a company, why wouldn’t you want the best singles wrestler and tag team on your roster?

I agree. Could turn it into a heated “us vs them” for Forbidden Door.

Like I said, I didn’t mind Chris’s comments at all. He’s free to say whatever he likes. Now if it gets him in hot water with management then I’d advise against it. For all I know he could have been trying to add some heat to the “rivalry” since the show was lacking in proper story build

I think you missed my point about things being said in character… but anyways, I don’t mind who says what. Everyone is free to speak their mind with me. Now it seemed like NJPW management may have cared since Charlton apologized for his comments at the end of the broadcast 🤷🏻‍♂️

But if I were to play devil’s advocate, I would point out the MJF has said those things while playing a heel and to elicit a reaction. To my knowledge, Chris Charlton is not a heel commentator

Buddy, I didn’t take a stance either way on the comments. I was just answering the question.

He called Tony Khan a money mark who stole Kenny away. He was derogatory to AEW and the AEW wrestlers all night

Tried to tell these people about Bryce. Clutch.

How dare you be attractive while also being funny! Who do you think you are?

Sex scenes should be in movies if they’re plot relevant so before anyone has sex in your movie you should precede it by having one of the sex-havers say “THERE’S A BOMB IN MY PENIS AND IF I DON’T ACHIEVE ORGASM WITH THE AID OF A SECOND PARTY IT WILL GO OFF AND KILL EVERYONE”

“But the Saw, the Saw is family.“

Starks has been gone from tv for like what, at least 6 months. Not sure. Regardless, how much AEW entertains me has not declined since then. Same for Miro. Say whatever you want about Malakai but he shows up every week and works and fights for his spot.

It’s as simple as showing up and earning your spot. If you buy into your own hype and don’t constantly fight for your spot then you’ll get cast aside.

Absolutely. There’s a lot of people nowadays who overvalue their importance and think by constantly complaining that they’ll eventually get what they want. Nothing ever works that way.

In the real world, if you publicly shit on your company, you won’t be rewarded. I have no issue with this.

Devil Masami really went “Fuck them Kids”. Holy SHIT. #purosky #wrestlesky
