The scapegoat gimmick was so fucking bizarre. Jungle Boy got manhandled like a complete bitch by the world's worst MMA fighter and somehow this was supposed to make him some kind of edgy tough guy heel? What the fuck?
>>18752931
Tony has a very poor understanding of reality and thought the footage would make Punk look bad without realizing it would actually make Punk look good while confirming everything he said in the Helwani interview while making AEW look like a complete joke.

He was the one doing the manhandling, retard. No one goes for a guillotine in a shoot fight unless they're getting pummeled, imagine being such a frail old bitch that a 115 pound theater kid has you beat.
>>18752923
he was already a heel, but after the fight with Phil at All In he was exiled to Japan where he started calling himself Scapegoat because he felt everything got blamed on him
>>18752977 >he started calling himself Scapegoat because he felt everything got blamed on him
It actually was his fault though. And Jungle Boy trying to act edgy and tough was baffling. Bitch was headlocked by CM and got 0 offense in.
>>18752923
That's not even the really fucked up part, the fact that they tried to make him a heel at all when anyone with half a brain could tell you what was left of AEW's dwindling audience were never going to boo the guy

It also made him out to be a complete liar with the line : > I WAS SCARED FOR MUH LIFE
He tried his best to sabotage punk into them not trusting him but in reality theyβre men and can handle him

Nah it's Tony's fault for being a poor leader. He should have gotten rid of Punk after Brawl Out. The writing was on the wall. The motherfucker was turning up to Raw, probably chatting with WWE guys on how to fuck AEW from the inside.

He was just a pawn in Elite's backroom politics. They lost control of Tony (Money Mark) to Punk and knew they had to reverse it before it was too late.
Somehow Kenny came out of this scenario squeaky clean when everybody knows that the Bucks don't do anything without his "greenlight".

The funniest shit is how you could tell Tony had IMMEDIATE regret about airing that footage as he scrubbed it from the Dynamite replays, from YouTube, and had it taken down every time it was posted anywhere online. Of course, the internet never really forgets.
>>18752959
Let us never forget that AEW aired this for a rating pop (the last time they got an eight hundy), then posted it on YouTube, deleted it, and subsequently copyright struck people reposting it. SAD
>>18752959
This was unironically the moment where the non smarkiest of smarks stopped watching AEW.
I used to just casually enjoying watching them while playing with my Switch but after this, I just watch highlights and whatever you fuckers post here.

it's cause he has no where else to go and WWE are massaging his ego while every so often reminding him that he is there forever - so he has to grovel to saudi, shill for TKO etc
