TONY KHAN STATEMENT ON AEW, Tuesday, January 8, 2019

Wrestling fans are a community unlike most others. I’ve been a part of this community since I was 7 years old, and I can tell you that wresting fans see the world every day through a special lens. We see wrestling in Hollywood films and tv shows, we see elements of wrestling in the presentation of sports and in the marketing of grandiose star athletes, and we certainly see wrestling in politics.

The wrestling community is a constant; its members are diverse, we are physically located on all corners of the planet, yet we are constantly connected. Recently, a new family has formed, bonded by love and respect for wresting but armed with a vision and resources that have never before been available to the wrestling community. Our objective is to connect our community closer than ever before through All Elite Wrestling, or AEW.

AEW does not mean any less of a continued commitment to existing obligations and duties that I have, or my family has, to our business and sports interests. That will never be the case. What’s important is that every individual decision we make as family, whether it’s ownership or investment in a team or property, is 100 percent beneficial to those specific interests. I will always welcome that accountability and responsibility, as nothing is more important than serving our supporters and friends.

AEW will launch with a roster of the top wrestlers in the world. While they’ll clash in what will be some of the most intense and fast-paced contests ever sanctioned in the squared circle, they’ll also share a common goal: to make this the true golden age, to make this the greatest time ever to be a wrestling fan. Likewise, as a business, by treating our wrestlers with respect and warmth, we also seek to make this the golden age for the performers themselves.

I urge everyone who believes in what we’re doing, or wants to believe in dreams coming true, to support AEW by spreading the word and passing the wrestling bug onto someone else. My message: Get in on the ground floor with AEW today and help lead our movement to grow the wrestling community and ensure that the voices of the wrestling fans, their creative minds and their remarkable ideas, will always be heard.

 

As long as they put AEW on a TV channel I have or somewhere easily streamable, I'll definitely watch

 

Hadnt seen them working twitter, just feels so odd to have it be two face teams do it to them. Though I guess the RAW tag division is so bare that they cant have AOP do it, and the B-Team doesnt really fit either.

 

Have they done anything to get the revival over other than people saying "they're a great technical team"?

 

Stream is down but separately announced Billy Gunn as a producer..

 

ROH lost SCU too?

 

Cody's theme gets stuck in my head and I fucking hate it.

 

kinda lame to be saying a big part of this is "making sure wrestlers get paid" and "changing the wrestling economy" when this really only changes things for top indy talent

 

I mean it’s a little early to say that’s how it is?

 

But isn't that incredibly unlikely? It won't effect anyone below ROH/Impact/MLW level stars




and oh shit OWE/Cima partnership

 

Is OWE the monks? That one show I saw was fucking badass.

 

Double or Nothing May 25th at MGM Grand Arena (~17k) in Vegas

 

yes it is

 

MGM is almost 17,000 seats

 

fuck yeah. I'm pumped on that.

 

stardom partnership?

 

Eh I think it might. We’ll see.

 

thought it'd be Tessa

 

Awesome
