- AEW founder, President and CEO Tony Khan might be more excited about AEW and its future than the fans! He talks about turning a "wild gamble" into a "successful business," how one Macho Man Halloween costume led AEW to TNT, when he originally got the idea for AEW and who he approached first, and what inspires some of "Dynamite's" creative angles and characters. Tony speaks to discovering wrestling as a kid, some of his favorite childhood performers and matches, tape trading, and how World's Best Wrestling developed into AEW.

Tony idk if you will ever see this but THANK YOU for introducing us to AEW. This promotion is amazing and bought my love back for watching wrestling.
Anyone that's ever liked wrestling but left cause of WWE's unwatchable garbage owes Tony Khan a massive thank you! Thank you for making wrestling great again.
Got to give the people what they want.
Amen!
Yeah but think about it ROH helped make wrestling great again too. Most of WWE's top guys today came from ROH.
Foking THANK YOU SEÑOR KHAN 👌🏽👌🏽🔥
@@SpeedChamp467 yes, ROH definitely had lots of talented people but they didn't have money like Tony khan, this guy can throw away money on ads and promotions like anything.
I had my doubts about Khan but he is a genuine fan. I can respect that.
He's us, if we had millions of dollars
Jose Caceres no... cocaine and hookers my friend
I thought Tony Schiavone would look much older by now. Seriously. I recall watching this guy as a little kid in the 80's with Jim Crockett Promotion on TBS. That was a long time ago. Very different era.
@@jcaceres516 you mean billions
Sounds like he was pro WCW and anti WWF
The great thing about Tony Khan is that you can sense the strong business ethic he possesses but also that inner child that's having a lot of fun with AEW.
Of course he's a massive wrestling fan so he's getting to live out his dream of owning a wrestling promotion. He's basically one of us if we had lots of money, great connections and a crazy analytical brain.
"inner child" is code for "soyboy".
@@KokoTheGorilla69 "soyboys" hate wrestling. Tony loves wrestling.
Period.
@@ViejoSabroso-rj9cc look at the AEW audience. The front row is a bunch of fat neckbeards in tie dye hoodies who collect Funko Pop figures and have Nintendo posters on their bedroom walls. They are about as soy as you can get.
I wanna give you a like,but it is on 69.......
AEW isn't perfect but there is something special about what was created.
It's still in it's infancy compared to a lot of other promotions, I think once it finds it's legs it will rival Raw and Smackdown.
Better than wwe
@@michaeltaylor8835 When you have to keep things pg and also bring back wrestlers who should be retried to take the spot light in main event squash matches instead of letting other talent get over it cant help but be stail, boring and predictable and AEW so far is the exact opposite. The bucks, Cody, Omega all put guys over while stering the ship and it doesent get any better
@@Mezchano it's already putting out better matches than raw and SmackDown combined
@@Mezchano Hearing Cody saying they are catering for internet fans left a bad taste in my mouth. How can they compete with WWE by focusing on the needs of minority of fans?
Imho Tony Kahn is what the wrestling industry needed.
Amen!!!
What, a guy with a heart and love of wrestling lol it’s sad that he is what the wrestling industry needed it’s pretty basic human kindness!
awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Finally a fan of wrestling is running a company.
b b bbb but...pg kiddie show wwe fans call him dixie carter of aew🤔
Tony Khan sleeps for one second every time he blinks his eyes! Those are heavy looking blinks.
Theely can’t unsee it 😂
Haha
So true lol.
Tony is a really cool guy. AEW has been brilliant so far, long may it continue.
Long live AEW/WCW
Brilliant??? Your standards are quite low
@@KokoTheGorilla69 Seems to me like the only one here with low standards is you based off the amount of crap your talking all over this video. Get a life bro.
Thanks TK for making AEW happen, wish those guys all the success in the world!
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Dash Phillip instablaster =)
@Kyle Rory I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kyle Rory it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Dash Phillip Happy to help xD
I'm glad aew is around... Long time sufferer of wwe Bordem... Finally here's a product I legit am always excited to tune into... Watching from the UK please please please keep it available to us in the UK
Well said. I share a similar opinion. Wwe boredom
@@mattsolar7187 me too Wednesday's night dynamite is something I love to tune into. Before I had nothing to watch now I am excited every week.
You a real man if u watch aew
I'm from Ireland grew up with the attitude era but me and the lads get beers and pizza and watch dynamite every Friday it's great can't wait until they come over here
Watch nxt
This amazing man is ensuring that my kids will get to enjoy wrestling like I did in my youth for years to come and making sure his crew is well taken care of, they are treated like the hard working men and women they are. Hats off good sir! Thank you Tony!!!!
Khan is so right for wrestling . He does not treat wrestling fans like we are dumb or have the memory of a rock .
And here I saw myself as wrestlings biggest fan!!! I think Tony has got us all beat!!! If I was a wrestler in the business I would want my boss to be someone who is not only a great business man but a super fan of the business as well!!! Thank you Tony!!! 💯!!!
yeah PN News's Rap is a hard level to beat.
I respect Tony Khan he took a huge risk on AEW, great PPVs and TV shows. AEW needs to fix the women's division with storylines and needs to hire some heavyweights 6 or 8 with in a year or two. I am huge fan of AEW AEW AEW
They need to hire Adam Blampied because they need more storylines for the women's division
Ummm They are they brought in Lance Archer, they reportedly got Brodie Lee the former Luke Harper, Jake Hagger, Wardlow, Luchasuarus, The Butcher and they also reportedly nabbed Brian Cage who once he's healed up he's going to make his debut. So they got some hauses now. As for the women's division they are working on it they are building the story between Swole and Britt, they started a story between Bea and Nyla though that may be on the back burner for a bit till this Corona stuff blows over as Bea is in the UK with Will Ospreay and they both live in Japan so with travel from their restricted it may be hard to get her to shows right now, they could just shift to Shida vs Nyla as Shida if I recall moved to the states and she is the current #1 in the woman's rankings but both Nyla and Shida need a little more building up before that with Nyla being played up as the dominant monster champ and Shida as the babyface that fans want to see slay the beast.
I think Thunder Rosa can be a good addition to the women's division
@@davemredodmx2843 if Abadon jumps on board she can add a little zest as well, she's been getting a pretty hefty buzz after her Dark debut
They also need more mid card titles and a real women's champion instead of a *man*
I'm a AEW lover
Stopped watching WWE when I saw Okada vs Omega at WK, stayed with NJPW(still watch actively right now watching old stuff because of Covid-19) and been watching AEW since day 1, LOVE THESE COMPANIES!
Lots of wrestling fans needs to see this podcast! Thanks Tony Khan and AEW!
Tony Khan is a wrestling genius! A 1 hour show complimentary to Dymamite and AEW Dark!?! Absolute perfection. The right amount of wrestling, and your wrestlers still get to be people and have decent lives. This is what I’m talking about
I love listening to Tony Khan talk. I could listen to him all day. His passion for the business is incredible. Keep up the good work. AEW has gotten me excited about wrestling again.
Thank you to Tony Kahn and TNT for bringing back good wrestling shows! Four More Years Bay Bay!!!
Last week we were on dynamite taping and Aubrey got more chants than Kenny
TONY KHAN TOOK A CHANCE. WE DOUBLED DOWN. AND AEW
S O A R E D . #ALLELITE
Actually: it's "Schiavone" if you know the actual italian pronunciation of Tony's surname. Damn, Jericho really is the GOAT, he even knows this kind of stuff O_O
But it got americanised so it's "Sciavone" since the h goes away. Pensare che io avevo uno Schiavone in classe ahahahahaha
Grande Pregi, ho apprezzato molto l'articolo che hai scritto proprio sull'AEW: in Italia c'è ancora troppa "standardizzazione" del prodotto, riferendosi solo a Cena/Taker/Batista e ai vecchi tempi di SmackDown live sulle reti Mediaset.
Contenuti come il tuo penso siano utili a "istruire" il nuovo pubblico e ad apprezzare alternative come questa. Grande 💪
Jericho is not the goat, only idiots say that
The Mager *pensa (i'm Italian 🙂 but if it's that is talking like this italian, you talk very good!)
@@letstalk7979 Yeah, for you Roman Talentless is the goat, right? Stfu and get out of here
I have literally refreshed my TH-cam homepage everyday for 2 weeks waiting for this!
What a life!
Let him be excited guys....
Ha, love the comments, I will clarify, I have been NON-EXCLUSIVELY refreshing my TH-cam homepage ONCE PER DAY to see if this had come out because if you think I’m enabling notifications for a tv channel you are high. Better? I’d ask if you were happy now, but I suspect the answer is no 🤣🤣🤣
Podcast is on spotify a week in advance.
How can u not like Tony Khan......
Man, AEW sounds like a dream place to work at. He takes care of his people, which is hard to find in a job. They define what the definition of a 'family' should be.
I love the buddy aspect and that everyone is happy backstage. That translates to the show people see. Keep up the great work.
Tony Khan is the most humble man behind the wrestling scenes. He creates a refreshing approach towards exposing the full potential of truly talented and blessed performers. I am a huge fan of him.
I love this podcast. It's just refreshing seeing behind the scenes of something that I love.
Since far before AEW started, this guy's ALWAYS been great on podcasts. He's a hell of a salesman, too.
I loved his comments on promos. I enjoyed this episode a lot and excited to see what Tony comes up with next.
Tony Kahn is doing a great job with aew. Sounds like a great guy to know
I haven't checked but I want a Tony Khan t-shirt. To show my appreciation for what he did.
Kenny Silva there was a Tony khan guy t shirt but idk if it is still around.
Love from India for Tony and AEW! Thank you for bringing wrestling back. I wait for dynamite every week like 20 years back when I waited for raw!
We need aew in india on tv
@@sohailkhan-qx3kg yeah... So eagerly waiting for tv debut in India and in our subcontinents.... AEDub
I watched the full video, Tony Khan, is an awesome guy.
Stay safe everyone!
Definitely one of my favourite humans now, thank you Tony for everything you've done for wrestling
Tony Khan,you are the man,thank you for you making AEW,i was WWE fan before but now i am AEW fan,AEW för life,greatings from Bosnia-Hercegovina🇧🇦
I could listen to Tony talk wrestling for hours. Completely restored my love for wrestling this guy 👆
I actually look forward to watching dynamite each week, been 15+ years since I could say that about WWE.
Tony Khan talking about Superbrawl 91 and going to RSPW in 94 to find out if the Steiner Brothers are real brothers and the Beverly Brothers are not, is how you know wrestling is in safe hands in 2020
Khan's the rain man of wrestling.
Definitely, definitely, definitely rain man of wrestling.
absolutely
he does seem kinda on the spectrum. very little eye contact i've noticed.
Good wrestling is apparently "hot water burn baby" to him
Thank you for everything Tony Khan. You refueled my passion for wrestling
This man saved pro wrestling in America.
No he didn't lol.
@@TheDemonCaine Sure did bud.
@@MattAlbie No, he didn't. Explain how. You won't have a good answer because it's not true. It's not like he's brought back millions of fans in America, so what has he done?
Caine Te Whare let the cult do their cult stuff lol
@@TheDemonCaine Aew has reignited the love of wrestling for some people. A lot of people stopped caring about it because of the stale product the WWE has put out in recent years. That's about all AEW has done so far
Side note: is it a coincidence the Other company decided to re introduce Jessika Carr and THEN introduced Aja Smith as the first Black referee now that Aubrey Edwards is gaining Hellacious popularity?🤔
Jessica carr was refereeing before aew was even thought of, please try again to find a conspiracy
Thing is , Aubrey did some work with the WWE along with Jessika, the WWE decided to keep Jessika and not hire Aubrey. Their loss is our gain.
@@bladestormviking so did Aubrey you idiot. But it's funny that Jessica hasn't been seen on any of the main roster shows or events in forever but once Aubrey gets popular they decide to reintroduce Carr to the main roster. Its facts guy. Not a conspiracy.
Mr. Sinister its just virtue-signaling from all corporations
Invisible Libra there’s no coincidence
Much props to Tony and the entire Khan family for AEW. Truly, thank you so much. 🎉
Wow, I didn't know that Dustin Rhodes wrestled in the WWF/E until his Goldust character in 1995. But he actually did wrestle in the WWF against "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase in the 10-minute challenge in 1990.
Tony Kahn is awesome.. Id love to work for this guy
I'm happy they hired Tony Schiavone. I've missed his commentary since 2001. AEW man, love it.
Double or Nothing was amazing.
Kenny Omega,M.J.F, Sammy Gueverra,Pac,Lance Archer,Lucha Bros was great signings....
World Wrestling Entertaining will finally be out of business soon thanks to the brilliance of AEW!!
I am one of those people who stopped watching when Nitro ended. Thank you so much for bringing me back.
I was a WWE guy since I started watching wrestling during the attitude era........ Tony Kahn made me an AEW guy.
As one of those lapse fans that gave up on the current products that have come back due to AEW thank you for all you do! Haven’t missed an episode of Dynamite or Rampage
Tony khan will change wrestling for good. Wow he was writing dynamite since 95. Thats a long dream coming true and it sure will be best for us fans.
PLEASE DON'T CANCEL DYNAMITE!!!😭😭😭
Don't worry, BAY BAY! DYNAMITE ROLLS ON!
safety comes first.
They got it for 4 more years with or without coronavise. 🤓
It's going to be from Dalies place in a closed set meaning only the talent and essential staff will be there
Mustaquim Ahmed Tanbeer hahaha mass hysteria and fear you mean
AEW is what both Ring of Honor and TNA should have been.... but never fully achieved... the next big thing. These guys are doing most things right......and the sky is the limit - if I were WWE, I would be very worried......
Tony Khan is Awesome!!!! Most impressive thing to me about him is that he pays attention and wants to improve on shows that AEW does. Not out do the “other” wrestling program
First off Thank You Tony Khan for taking that huge leap.
All Elite has surpass that other company that's ran by an Egotistical Bigot and it's only gonna get better.
I still watch that New Years episode of BTE when AEW popped up on Adam Page's cell and I knew that night All Elite is gonna hit the ground running but, I digress.
WWE won't do it and ECW would've done it, Mr. Khan, would you entertain the idea of having a Women's Tag Team titles? Men and Women teamed up to wrestle is also unsung, would you entertain the idea of having a Intergender Tag Champion Title?
@Hal Jordan what if they made a title that could be won by both gender?
And made a tournament out of it?
@Hal Jordan Do you think they should make a tournament like NJPW?
@Hal Jordan I stand corrected, I guess I've been out of the loop since I stopped watching that garbage the moment it became too unbearable to sit through for Three Hours.
@@r.ferguson1120 that be awesome if they did it like New Japan.
Side Note: I forgot all about Lucha Underground having Intergender Titles.
Hal Jordan Actually TNA had Women's tag titles first.
Hope Tony with Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone , Cody and the rest can keep the good vibe in the locker room and carry on improving the product, the only way is up let’s go AEW.
Ppl thought Vince was a genius but it seems like Tony Khan knows so much more about wrestling, he's a true brainiac
#thankyoutony
realhiphopfan91 exactly! He’s not a genius all he’s done is steal his father’s company and turn it into trash and hold petty grudges against employees who didn’t kiss his ass and bury superstars that weren’t his creations
Finally, a wrestling company the people can get into
Vince put wrestling on the map. He had cultural icons in their respective eras like Hogan, Rock and Stone Cold. Who is the biggest superstar Tony Khan has in his company? Cody Rhodes who was a midcarder at best at WWE. Ask 10 people who is Cody Rhodes there is good chance that no one knows him.
Y'all know this guy is worth Billions right ?
lmao
My two favorite Tony’s!
Wow, Tony Khan is such a decent classy guy. Wish him nothing but the best!
Tony comes across so genuine and nice. I really enjoy AEW. Thanks Tony!!
Tony's cool man
Tony Kahn: Hey Buddy!
Vince McMahon: Hey pal!
I LOVE AEW
What a great show and a great group of people I’m so excited for A.E.W wrestling is back in full gear
SEÑOR TONY KHAN 👌🏽 YOU ARE A VERY GENUINE HUMAN BEING. GRACIAS.
Tony and I got started watching wrestling in very similar ways. I love that hes a fan first
An underrated thing about Tony Khan is that he's brilliant for a guy his age and all the ideas he has for wrestling.
I stopped watched wrestling after the WWE PG era began, and got back into it thanks AEW.
I'm of the fanbase who kept watching after the Invasion b/c it became more about the evolution process of the business. I watched TNA(NKA Impact) when I heard about it and ROH when I could. AEW is a GODSEND right now b/c I want to watch the people who lace up the boots and care enough to want to create a legacy for themselves actually get their chance in the sun. Gotta keep it goin! #4MoreYears
takes you guys forever to upload these things, this was nearly a week ago!
Coz its primarily an audio podcast. Premieres every Thursday on Spotify etc.
KairosObjective I know guy.
And it was recorded three months ago... they’re strategic, FREE releases.
I listened to this already on Thursday but I guess I'll watch it now 😂
I love Tony Khan as an owner in pro wrestling. Hes done everything right as far as I am concerned. I love AEW
"Tony Khan is basically a supehero" - Aubrey Edwards.
I couldn't agree more, he rescued all of us pro-wrestling fans.
Y’all also seeing yourself in Tony? what you have done as a genuine wrestling fan? Fuck yes! Thank you Tony
Thank you, Tony!
i can listen tony k forever because he seems so real no fake bullshit nd he has gr8 memory toooo
Didn't realize what a huge old school wrestling fan Tony is. It would be AWESOME to see him incorporate more elements of old school pro wrestling in AEW.
You can call him a nerdy beta all you want, Tony Kwan is *RICH*
Who’s calling him a “nerdy beta”?
I'd rather have a "nerd" whom knows his wrestlin history and happens to run a wrestlin' company.
@@KairosObj For real.
@@ucorelduo6759 I've seen some comments from WWE fanboys saying stuff like that
beta? this man can walk into a room and take your girl bro. EZ clap
Wow! Just wow!!
To say that Tony Khan is wise and smart beyond his years is an understatement.
Damn Tony Khan Telling Tony Schiavone How He Never Made A Mistake Must Bring Schiavone Happyniess Inside.
AEW is far from perfect but it has the potential to grow into something huge, a mega house wrestling organization. Man I haven't been this excited about wrestling in years and at one point I thought I was going to give it up altogether, but AEW has restored my faith in wrestling in full again and I'm proud of Tony Khan has created. AEW almost makes me feel like a kid again. The stories, the characters, the larger than life talent. Thank you Mr. Tony Khan for turning your dream of wrestling into a reality. May All Elite Wrestling have success for many many years to come. The Revolution has begun!
my man Tony!
The difference between a fan billionaire promoting wrestling and a classic billionaire promoting wrestling.
Who runs two different types of football teams also.
Wrap Wraper what billionaire promotes wrestling? Anthem? Sinclair Broadcasting?
@@QTCutes lets relax on the term "promote" with Sinclair lol
Hal Jordan a millionaire whoshould be a multi billionaire
It seems everyone forgotten the attitude era that Vince created!!! Vince is a fan of wrestling anyone that suggest otherwise is delusional!!! Also, Blood and Guts is what built WWE and to trend downwards would be to lose sponsors in which case AEW is trying to build sponsors!!! This is business 101.
Geeesss Tony Schiavone talked soooo much on...Schiavone can you let people talk brother..😉
man khan is a breath of fresh air in the business. love what aew is doing
I love the transparency of AEW. Very refreshing.
Tony Khan is a human audiobook. The things he says enlightens us all.
I want to work for Tony Khan.
THX............................TK !!!!
We love Tony Khan. You are a legend my friend. Thank you for saving pro wrestling. Come to Scotland sometime please.
I attended that Halloween Havoc in Chattanooga with my Dad when I was in the first grade and it was my favorite wrestling memory growing up
Tony Khan seems so chill. It's like he can be your boss and also one of the boys at the same time
I have nothing but respect for this guy, wish him nothing but the best.
AEW should sign Hammerstone, EC3, Will Ospreay.
tony khan = humble
To hear about who helps run stuff in the back is a breath of fresh air with all the wrestling minds
Met Tony Khan at a PWG show was a really coo down to earth guy. That's probably why I am happy AEW is being successful.
