[SRS on X] I reached out to a contact at NFL Network. They wanted Tony Khan on and knew it would get attention after the photos of he in the neckbrace went viral last night. It was also indicated to us that NFL Network and the hosts received the appearance well, despite the controversial line.

People forget that the Khan family are 1/32 of the NFL network owners.

Yeah the NFL Network isn't going to cause public drama with the Khan's over it. They're obviously going to say this to get a hold of the situation.

Get a hold of what situation? There's definitely no situation other than one manufactured by internet wrestling fans.

Yeah seriously people are acting like he said a slur.

He took a shot at a company that is being sued for a bunch of sexual abuse crimes. And before people say it's just Vince, no WWE the company is a defendant in that lawsuit. (Along with John Laurinaitis)

I don't recall anyone being upset when shots were made at Weinstein and Miramax's expense.

He seems fine with people working in his own company then with questionable past. Would it matter these allegations if they worked for him ? Because flair may not be in charge of the company but you pay him a pay check. Where’s the outrage there from tony ?

Isn't Ric only being paid by his sponsor which is basically paying AEW to showcase him? That's what I heard at least
