Tony Khan Reveals Surprising Benchmark That ‘Speaks Highly’ Of AEW

AEW

Tony Khan has revealed that surprising source that he uses to benchmark the success of AEW and it’s not necessarily TV ratings.

The AEW owner has spoken previously about his appreciation of online feedback from multiple platforms.

During the AEW Worlds End media call, he revealed the importance of Cagematch, the online wrestling database, saying:

“Recently, we’ve had some of our best shows we have ever done. And this year if you look at 2023 and just to use as samples, you can look at fan feedback from different shows. One site that measures fan feedback is Cagematch.

“Look at the top 100 shows this year and look at how many of them are from AEW.

“And if you throw this version of ROH in there too, you get some more but it’s pretty incredible and the top 100 shows that I’ve over 50 votes, top 100 shows even more so than I have over 100 votes look at those and look at how many of them happened in 2023 from AEW or even a couple more from ROH, and that speaks pretty highly I thought but much more so I would talk TV ratings.”

Eric Bischoff took umbrage at the revelation, having previously been critical of Tony Khan being awarded Booker of the Year by Wrestling Observer.

The WWE Hall of Famer tweeted out “this can’t be real” in response to a post about the revelations.

Khan recently revealed the names who helped with the booking of the December 27 episode of AEW Dynamite.

A avid Twitter user, Khan recently used the platform to celebrate the viewership of AEW Dynamite, thanking fans and crew.
