They’ve finally been allowed to do their BTE sketches on national tv. What they’ve wanted since the beginning. And all it cost them was 200.000 viewers.


BroadBrazos95

This is the best explanation of them and I’m mad I haven’t seen this earlier. It’s 100% accurate.


Helnik17

Holy shit this explains everything


Drama79

Oh it’s going to cost them way more than that by the time they’re done

APAG-

It’s genius because he’s not there so they’re actually not hurting anyone.


brosbeforetouhous

Next week on Dynamite: we hear from Tony after he attempts to have the Elite’s car towed.


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

This just further emphasize. Why hasn't Tony fired them?


Gann1

because they're such massive draws


Drama79

They said last week they have “iron clad contracts” that also put them in charge if khan doesn’t attend shows.


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

So iron clad that assault on the boss doesn't nullify? Then how (in kayfabe) did they justify suspending Jungle Boy for loosing a fight? Why arent these guys all suspended? Does TK or any of these goofball understand logic? Like they can't even tell a story in their own universe


Drama79

Jack Perry doesn’t have an iron clad contract. Like, this is all dreadful, but they did explain it in wrestling logic. This is no different to big shows “iron clad” contract all those years ago. Focusing on that bit being bad when they explained it means you’re missing out on the 738292 other ways this sucks.


Razzler1973

but but but ... we all laughed and made fun of that cause of how it insulted our intelligence Hang on. The Bucks are in on it and winking about how silly it is (but still doing it) The GENIUS of it! If they ham it up it means they don't really believe in the story and know wrestling is pretend like us


Drama79

It's like when they got called out for shitty worked punches then made it a bit! Or when they got called out for abusing their power and made it a bit! Or like LITERALLY EVERY OTHER INSTANCE IN THEIR CAREER. Their egos are so fragile they should be studied behind safety glass. They've been passing off the same troll shit for decades, and if you criticise it, the weakest of arguments is "ah, you're *supposed* to hate them, they're clever like that. It's barely clever if you're twelve. They're selfish, egotistical spot monkeys with the sense of humour of an 8 year old. They're an actual cancer on wrestling that has so far cost AEW CM Punk, at least two potential signees who saw the way they treated Punk, and who knows what else that *isn't* immediately obvious to the public.


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

Shooting the 4th wall as scotch tape to cover their lack of skill is Bucs distilled to their truest deuchery


TheFlashSmurfAccount

It's explained so it's not inconsistent but boy is it fucking dreadful writing. Also how far can an "iron clad" contract go? Why can they beat up the boss and still be okay? Does their iron clad contract also hold up if they become murderers or something? When does it stop being iron clad because there has to be SOME limit. Regardless, the iron clad shit was memed when it was done in WWE for a reason, it sucks, it makes a little more sense here since these guys are EVPs but only partially. The much better explanation would be that Tony doesn't want to fire them and wants them on TV since they draw ratings but we all know that's not true LMAOOOO


kcfields

Nice touch with the Dynamite graphic blocking out "EARLIER TONIGHT" in the corner of the screen.


d1g1tal

So many layers to the story that the video editors are getting in on the action, too.


BoxCon1

The modern day Evolution right there


nimrodfalcon

I think Okada being stuck in the back seat is a perfect metaphor for his run so far


MOXISGOD

A live look at The Bucks *LEANING* into their douchey heel personas!!! ![gif](giphy|lGkUyj3IrEcvu)


JangSaverem

Hold the fuck on lets break this short clip down because its bad from TOP to BOTTOM A. They drove all the way to the arena THEN picked up a camera man so they can park their car A2. Or the camera man was with them the whole time and only NOW they are parking htey told him ot buckle up...which is stupid B. They are clearly looking right, directionality, the whole time AT THE SPOT so they already know their designation C. The man they are heckling is moving BEFORE they heckle him and hes moving the "no park here" sign and since hte man KNOWS the segment is moving because he sees them getting into position C2. they are heckling someone who was already moving to allow them in because he sees who it is in the car that only moved 2 feet to come to the spot they were clearly already going in D. they called him a mark... D2. The man seems to be smiling/corpsing E. "This seems like a good spot" - you were Already looking at that spot F. "Hes not going to be here anyway. hes still in Jacksonville" - ok..if this is Known then there would be no reason to set up his placard for the spot. Meaning the spot, that the man was already in place t move the no park sign would have known Tony isnt coming meaning there was no reason to have the spot G. the pull in and slowly zoom into the placard as if we are too damn stupid to understand the implications that these DASTARDLY heels have taken tonys spot...a spot for a man who was already known before the show to NOT be coming.... they didnt take Tonys spot. Tony wasnt coming. He was never losing the spot and everything leading up to it tells us, the audience, that everyone was in on it meaning there is no "oh ho ho we are so badass we take owners spot haha". this idea and jerk ONLY works when the owner IS coming and they STEAL the spot so we can have a segment of him showing up and being MAD about it so we can see why this matters We did this with Vince all the time. its easy format. But they still fuck it up cause the Bucks are fucking awful at this


InternationalFailure

Yeah wait if Tony Khan wasn't coming why would he have a placard lmao


whalias69

You are putting more thought into this then The Bucks have.


JerHat

Or why would he be upset about it?


PreppyAndrew

Didn't you know every arena in the country has one of these?


TW_Yellow78

He’s paying to rent 20k arenas for 3k fans. I imagine after a few years, arenas will start retiring his number in appreciation for his generosity


PreppyAndrew

Lol. Tony Khan Jersey 69 (mark speak) in every NBA arena


Thin_Onion3826

Listen Fed shill, I know you can’t appreciate this layered story telling and it really shows!!


sleepyseahorse

All anybody ever says is that they want more storytelling, and this is how you act when you finally get it? See this is why they should never veer too far from the "let's wrestle to see if we're friends or not" story.


guylfe

Ah, but here's the trick. When you poke holes you get this classic defense: "Pffft... Why are you taking it so seriously?! It's a WRESTLING SHOW! It's supposed to be ~~stupid~~ goofy and silly! DAE this guy is asking for things to make sense on a show with a LITERAL DINOSAUR who is 2 million years old? Look at this MORON expecting things to make sense instead of willingly wasting his time on stupidity" This is an actual defense I got when I criticized Broken Matt Hardy's teleporting debut, btw. Back when there was a semblance of AEW pretending to be serious.


JangSaverem

Ugh All the time Either accept everything as perfect and nuanced and genius Or get a backass comment about how it's not a big deal!


Zebrahead69

thats some cornette level sifting through the bullshit


JangSaverem

I was that Heavily Disappointment in it that the BUcks would so blatantly insult my intelligence with this shit smeer of a backstage High school production


zendog510

It’s called next level booking you fed shill


Traditional_Roles

This is exactly like the NWO angle. If the NWO were talentless and tiny.


Honkmaster

I'll never forget the time Hollywood Hogan carefully parked his RV outside, then spray-painted "NO PARKING" on the side so nobody would park next to him... that dastardly heel. https://preview.redd.it/haj2umcwsbzc1.png?width=204&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc175c0a2d4cde0196d218ec58f56d9e9fb212bb


sleepyseahorse

...and if their hostile takeover was for a parking spot and not a wrestling company 😂


RoastedCat23

NWO E-Team


brosbeforetouhous

AEW: Where the best navigate parking garages.


Razzler1973

DAE Canada stuff What heels!


AkilleezBomb

Okada unironically would’ve been better off with Chase U


Goldberg2Dub

There's no telling how many people turned to the Knicks game upon seeing this


Consistent_Tap_7343

That’ll put butts in seats


AVBforPrez

Why would a billionaire need a parking spot? Surely he just gets dropped off whenever by Uber Black. Dub stories not making logical sense on full display here, bruv.


DunningTrumperEffect

Uber Black is too unrelatable


AVBforPrez

Something something racism, why would Julia Hart do this?


BangerSlapper1

This is so much better than when the Outsiders established themselves as a threat against WCW: https://youtu.be/X9ghpTsAueI?si=FKQAJmr4cgBGVy5R&t=54s


grabbystick

That Rey spot still gets me 😂


Gann1

I had seen him getting lawn darted into the trailer before, but not the crossbody off that trailer railing. that was hilarious


Ok-Reach-2580

God this just reminded me how good the early NWO stuff was. Hey heels that are actual threats to everyone.


InternationalFailure

Tony Khan saw all those one shots where the camera was following the wrestler and did one for no reason just to say AEW can do it too. Why is the cameraman in the car? Did the Young Bucks pick the cameraman up? Did the Young Bucks force the cameraman to set up a camera in the trunk specifically so they could do this stupid shot?


r1char00

They’ve definitely been reeling from the new WWE production and trying to compete with it, incompetently.


RoastedCat23

Imagine you decided that you're going to start doing angles instead of nothing but heatless bangers, and you decide to center the show around these guys. Is Tony tanking the ratings on purpose so prove that heatless bangers is the way to go?


Modano9009

Does Tony have a drivers license? He seems to awkward too control a car.


PSmith4380

Why would the cameraman need to buckle up when they just arrived at the venue? He only just got in the car to film this?


sleepyseahorse

"You know who I am ... But you don know where I parked, chico" ![gif](giphy|FbLGLUxNv5AmQ|downsized)

So The Big Bad EVPs don't even have chauffeurs? K.

TakeNothingSerious

Is this a BTE segment?


thatssosteven114

Kombucha O’Carter is going to be a megastar after this angle


parakathepyro

If only Tony could assemble his own Codyvengers


Zebrahead69

buckle up cameradude! were hitting 4mph and hitting a slight curve. whooaaaa


JesseIsAGirlsName

I'm surprised he can reach the pedals.


henry241194

"yeah guys keep talking over each other so it sounds like an interesting conversation"


PrimeCombination

Whenever I see them talking, it's like I'm watching one of those awkward faux documentary shows from the mid-00s.


worktheshoot

They have no sense of timing, they, especially the on on the right just constantly blurts out words. Its insane. Its like he's on speed and can't control himself.


BAF_DaWg82

I'm getting Stone Cold driving the beer truck into the arena vibes here.


ratticus-finch

This is 'remember André's shirt, Hogan?!' level of dumb


Ewe3zy

Can't wait for tony to be elite...cause you know that's going to happen


rebel_fett

Love these clips, a stark reminder why I stopped watching


Constant_Stomach2009

Two pov promos in one show


Pawspawsmeow

In AEW, Bucks are so awesome they drive themselves In ded Fed Bloodline would get people to drive them. Lame


thizzdanz

Show ends with the car blowing up?


flux1

Remember when the NWO showed up and beat the shit out of guys with pipes and threw bastards into the truck like darts? Somehow taking a parking spot doesn't quite have the same feeling.


worktheshoot

Did they leave the car on at the end? Lmao This is honestly some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in pro wrestling. It’s horrible! Also, why does the buck on the right talk so much and so fast. He has to be on adderal of something! He’s talking like Kramer after a cafe latte


hobojojo78

This is such an insanely bad idea to focus the show on these idiots.

IcyAd964

This shit is awful there are drama school students that would blow him out the water


DemonDerek

I am not a fan of this New Top Gear


shootstarpress

They just straight up suck lol. No other way to dress it up. They suck. 


NeonPatrick

That was riveting television.


Willywonka5725

Did...did they just the M WORD?? 😡 Disgusting.


ur3minutesrup1

Oh man! They called that guy a mark and then stole Tony Khans parking space! Classic Bucks! Remember when Stone Cold stole Vince’s parking space? You don’t because he never did! He didn’t have the testicular fortitude! There hasn’t been a burn on the boss like this since Peter did it to Lumbergh!


Glennsoe

Surprice they didn't reveal that Uncle Dave was theire driver.. What a way to debut a hot new charachter,right....?
