    Getting cut over questioning flying out of a different airport is rough.

    I can also see the fact that they were given flights to take, asked why it wasn’t from their usual nearby airport because they’d have to drive, then didn’t take the flights and instead just assumed they’d been un-booked for the show because nobody followed up with them?

    I think the issue really lands between themselves making assumptions, and whoever it was they questioned the flights with obviously not communicating with anyone else internally about the Boys looking for another travel option, leading everyone else to assume the Boys no-showed.

        Tony Montana could run AEW and I’d still be thinking The Boys half caused it themselves.

    I wish they’d not been fired, but I worry its notable that the discussion they say they had with the travel person isn’t included in any of what they’ve posted.

    Although, even if they have no showed a bunch, Tk made this a story by commenting on the question rather than deflecting or giving a non-answer.

      Ahhh, but I thought Tony was one of the GOOD billionaires?

        Nothing to do with being a billionaire, everything to do with being a manchild who can’t delegate for shit.

            “can’t delegate for shit” can also mean “is terrible at delegating”, which I think applies here.

            He let a whole ass game of telephone take place, and spoke to the media giving a half-assed, one sided reading of the situation. Sounds pretty bad to me.

              He likely is (and should be) so far removed from travel that you’re talking about several layers of delegation. The alleged failures of the person organising the travel (bear in mind these issues are from an equally one sided reading from the boys) is miles removed from TK, and it should be - there’s many things far more important he should think about other than travel bookings.

                Yeah but then he should also not stake a hard position on shit he’s so far removed from, should he?

                Like, there’s a reason you stay vague if you’re not 100%, just say something like “there were disciplinary issues” if you really want to blame them, don’t say something specific enough they can rebut, that’s basic corpo speak.

                  Tony just really needs to hire a proper PR team, and social media team, hand over media call/scrum/twitter duties to them, use his newfound time for a seventh 8-ball a week, and then so many problems will be resolved.
