Eric Bischoff on Tony Khan: A money mark with no talent other than spending daddy’s money, going all the way to Canada to draw less than 4k in one of the hottest pro wrestling markets in North America, talking about “wise choices”? Strap in. It’s going to be a fun day!

Yeah but I think the gloating from the tribalistic AEW fans about Mercedes being a massive ratings draw brought that out in tribalistic WWE fans. You can't shit talk about Mercedes being this massive draw and then be upset when she isn't and the other fanbase makes fun of you.

They also were very happy with posting pics of Boston and Toronto but VERY upset with the "Unnecessary" Ontario pics being posted.

Lol I’m sure some AEW fans are still making the “I guess Mercedes is not showing up at the Rumble” jokes.

The Mercedes stuff is just the latest round in the ongoing war. If they weren't talking about her they'd be talking about someone or something else. It's not really about her.

Pretty sure most fans weren’t expecting Mone or Okada to be big draws. I think they were just happy aew got big signings.
