Pretty much all of them are. I mean, "he's an AEW ref" is obviously a call he would make because he is working. Chris isn't delusional enough to shoot imply that an AEW ref would "help" Kenny "win" a predetermined match. However, Chris' suspension is obviously not a work. There is no point in working the fans by suspending a fucking commentator. This isn't WWE, Chris isn't suddenly going to become a wrestler or even a manager who can then stand up for himself.
There's only one thing in these clips that made Tony seethe uncontrollably and it's the words "money mark". My guess is someone like Bischoff (most probably) or Cornette frequently use that term for Tony. That's why he is so pissed. Isn't Bischoff like his number one enemy right now?
Anyway, what a fucking bitch Tony is. But I already knew that. My only takeaway from these clips is that thank the fucking gods I didn't ruin my experience watching that match with English commentary. Even if I rewatched it later in Japanese commentary, the experience would not have been the same as watching it for the first time.
