A WWE Hall of Famer has revealed why he thinks that Tony Khan is “one of the best men” he’s ever met in a recent interview.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts had previously discussed being in “pretty rough shape” where he needed an oxygen tank for nearly a year and a half.
Speaking Steve Fall for WrestlingNews.co, Roberts revealed his appreciation of AEW and Tony Khan, saying:
“I was still trying to carry on, you know, having to use the machine (oxygen tank), but I was wanting to carry on with it, but they didn’t want me to go out to the ring with that.
“That was the whole thing and I respect them for that. It’s not like they sh*t canned me and told me to take a hike.
“They still took care of me and AEW is just wonderful to work for. They really, really are, and Tony Khan is one of the best men I’ve ever met.”
Robert returned to AEW television in February 2023 and has also adopted a backstage coaching role to help talent develop their characters.
