"Looking like a freaking man-child" - Former WWE personality takes a shot at AEW President Tony Khan following the post-All Out media scrum
Vince Russo recently took shots at Tony Khan following the controversial media scrum following All Out. The former WWE writer stated that the AEW President's appearance made him look unprofessional.
The wrestling world can't stop talking about the recent debacle that was the post-show media scrum following All Out. At the press conference, Tony Khan watched CM Punk drop verbal bombs on seemingly everyone he had an issue with.
Punk ran down Colt Cabana, Hangman Page and the company EVP's The Elite. He went completely uninterrupted by the AEW President, which led to the now infamous backstage skirmish that has led to multiple suspensions for those involved.
“There was a melee. Whatever that word means.”

But what could Tony Khan have done differently on the day? Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Vince Russo expressed his belief that Khan doesn't look the part to be taken seriously, hence why he didn't cut CM Punk off at any point.
“Watch how professional people dress bro, that’s how you are supposed to dress in the role you’re in. You’re not going skateboarding, you’re not going to go play pickleball with CM Punk, bro if you want any respect whatsoever, number one bro you have to start acting the part."
Russo continued by stating that the way one dresses and presents themselves correlates with the amount of respect respect they receive.
"They’re not going to respect you bro, looking like a freaking man-child, so number one bro with all this madness that took place, number one bro start dressing the part bro of a business man, of a team owner, a company owner. Start looking the part bro because the way you present yourself is an effing joke.”
