In the wild world of wrestling, where battles aren’t just confined to the ring, Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff recently engaged in a Twitter throwdown that has left the internet buzzing. Let’s dive deep into the verbal jabs, the witty comebacks, and the lingering tension between these two giants of the wrestling world.

The Twitter Tit For Tat

The saga began when the USA Network’s tweet about Cagematch’s ratings triggered Tony Khan’s defense mechanisms. In a Twitter post, Khan not only defended his booking decisions but also took a swing at Jinder Mahal for getting a title shot after a year long losing streak, sparking a storm of reactions across the internet.

One fan, unimpressed with Khan’s take, pointed out an interesting parallel— Abadon’s title shot after being off AEW TV for over a year, while sharing The Coach’s sentiments on the matter.

Eric Bischoff, ever the provocateur, jumped into the fray, questioning the authenticity of the fan’s claim. Khan, not one to back down, fired back at Bischoff, clarifying the stark differences between Abadon’s situation and Jinder Mahal’s losing streak.

Bischoff, flaunting his “wizard-like” reading comprehension skills, brought in a Dave Meltzer quote, adding a layer of complexity to the Twitter exchange. The Match Star Machine did a run-in on the Twitter matchup, spilling a little tea in attempt to humble Bischoff on the matters.

“One of us actually studies numbers, the other calls names because he can’t remember nor has any research capabilities.”

-Dave Meltzer

Armchair Leg Drop Verdict

In the end this bickering only further divides fans, who should be coming together in one of the greatest eras of wrestling. Instead, we fight like children. Tale as old as time. Enjoy!
