Have you noticed how whenever a wrestler says Tony's a nice guy, they never say it with a flat tone and a straight face?
Punk couldn't say it that way either in the Huwani shoot.
They always say "Tony's a real, "nice" guy..."
Overtly nice. Like a parasitic narcissist.
And when you hear how he treats wrestlers, Tony's always making them go out to dinner with him.
Vince used to eat with the lads in catering but stopped doing that when they'd scooch over to him to ask about their push.
Tony's forcing them to have dinner with him where he can then gush his creative output all over them, so they can tell him he's a brilliant creative booker.
And he buys every wrestler plane tickets so they can be in his building for his show behind his curtains at his catering table to be there for him, with him, by his side, to his benefit. And he doesn't use their services.
They're just there to make him feel important. Furniture.
