** And speaking of Tony Khan, who couldn't deny that some of the interviewees that appeared in the show -- namely Wrestling/JimCornette and Wrestling/EricBischoff are staunch critics of Khan's poor management style and bad booking that proved to be way worse than Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and is regarded as one of the worst promoters in wrestling history since Dixie Carter.

* Wrestling/{{AEW}} All In 2023 Backstage Footage of the Altercation of Wrestling/CMPunk and Jack Perry: In the April 10, 2024 episode of ''AEW Dynamite'', Tony Khan and Wrestling/TheYoungBucks released the footage of the 2023 ''All In'' PPV where Punk and Jack Perry had an altercation which led to Punk being fired from the promotion before returning to the WWE. This was more of a smear campaign against Punk on Khan's end in response to Punk's interview with Ariel Helwani a week prior. The debacle caused online backlash and harsh criticism from wrestling figures like Jim Cornette and even Vince Russo out of all people.
