“He’s not gonna talk about the fight he’s just not gonna” “at some point it’s like stop asking about the fight” - Bryan. I just listened he also refused to talk about Paige, Bray, MJF, Cody and other stuff. The people trying to make it a one note thing didn’t listen.

He's kinda right but at the same time it's your job as an interviewer to make it interesting. The interviewee is the one taking time off his schedule to come to your show so it you can't expect him to be the perfect partner for your show

Tony should answer at least some controversial questions at some point but imagine interviewing fucking Tony Khan and not expecting him to dodge controversial questions

ofcourse dumbass its his job, youre trying to get atleast one meme headline so people listen to the damn thing, the amount of people talking about it without listening is just proof of how boring it was. why cant tony talk about his relationship with paul or nick? he shits on them every other week but now all of a sudden he backs off?

To be fair, of course he's not gonna talk about any of that stuff. Paige and MJF he maybe could have talked about, but it's about timing. I guess the time just wasn't right for Helwani.

Had Ariel gotten Tony like, a year earlier, he probably would have talked about things like Bray and Cody, but considering how many times he shot himself in the foot for doing such things, I guess he's decided to be more "conventional" now.

At this point, Tony's not gonna be a good guest unless you softball him. If that's not what your show's about, then he's not gonna be a good guest. That Barstool Wrasslin' guy gets around this by simply talking about things that are totally out of left field, like Major League.

He doesn't need to but if Ariel is going to have him on and play the game by asking him the easy questions he is entitled to say he is frustrated when he gets stonewalled on absolutely everything else

fans and tony are used to the "oh my god this show was so great and the crowd was huge, how did you come up with such an amazing card?" type asslickings tony gets at post ppv scrums.

imagine if lebron or brady had a meltdown like punk did at all out, every journalist worth a shit would ask every other player and the coaches about it, instead of ignoring it like they all did

Ariel has no journalistic standards lol. He’s comprised as a reporter due to his affiliation with wwe. WWE have a partnership with BT sports, the same company Ariel works for. He also did a voice over for a video package for Extreme Rules. On top of that when he interviewed Triple H all the questions were total soft balls.

Dave IS a terrible interviewer though
If you can't find some way to get information from your subject, then you are a shit interviewer or have an agenda. Ariel had an agenda and only wanted backstage dirt about something that can't legally be discussed and got stonewalled so he's having a fit about it.
Did he even ask if the Elite would be in Canada? He didn't press Tony about the CMPunk/Office soundbyte that's probably nothing, but he let just go by without comment.
