Kevin Nash criticizes AEW's angle with The Elite attacking Tony Khan.
On the April 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, Jack Perry and The Elite (The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada) attacked AEW CEO Tony Khan. The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) drooped Khan with a TK Driver.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash discussed the segment. First, he took issue with Perry hitting Khan with a padded microphone.
“What are you doing? To take a padded microphone, ugh, and just to drive that, to the point where it didn’t even make a ‘thunk’ sound from the audio…," Nash said.
Nash went on to argue that there was no heat. Oliver brought up the fact that Tony Khan wore a neck brace at the NL Draft and gave him some respect for trying to do some crossover and respect the product. Nash remained adamant as he continued to criticize the angle.
“It’s so bad I just don’t see what it does, unless Tony comes back and fires the executive vice presidents for attacking him. He got rid of Punk. You can’t have a storyline, a couple weeks earlier, they showed the Punk/Perry altercation, which was nothing. That was enough to get rid of [Punk]. So they show that, it was really a bad call. Then you tangle the Bucks in that, their psychology being that they couldn’t win at Wembley because they were so upset over this display of just absolute, barbaric violence backstage before their match. To turn around and have Perry come back in, who was part of the vicious beatdown from CM Punk, and to have him attack the owner in the ring, with a padded microphone, I mean, I haven’t seen somebody go down that hard since Oswald. I mean, little did I know that Jack Perry was a Dallas nightclub owner. [laughs] Then you have the Bucks come down, and they do the incredible piledriver. He couldn’t have been, if he was a skin tag on the fucking Young Buck, he would be [less attached], it was unbelievable. At what point does this become, why would you do this because you were just saying how upset you were over Punk doing this. Now, the only thing that Tony has is he has to fire them all. Where are they going?" Nash said.
