Tony Khan Believes Wrestling Is ‘Hotter Than Ever’

Pandemic aside, the wrestling business as a whole has been doing better than it has in years. There is a legitimate number two company in America, the independent scene was thriving, it was a good time to be a wrestling fan. Tony Khan agrees, saying the business is hotter than ever.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Khan discussed his feelings on the state of the business. Here is the quote, courtesy of Wrestling Inc.:

“Wrestling is hotter than ever. This past week, to have three different wrestling shows ranked number one on their night, and to have AEW be a part of it, it’s huge. And it’s a great time for wrestling. I feel like we were all there, part of the peak era of fandom, and now it’s a splintered audience. Things are very fragmented, it’s hard to get as many people to watch something as there used to be.

But I believe that, and I see it first hand with the NFL and the great numbers we do, if you deliver a quality, compelling product consistently, people are going to show up and watch it. And that’s why we built audience and we’re up year over year. And I feel like with the great card we have tonight and the big pay per view card ahead later this month, it’s a great time to come and join AEW as a fan. Hopefully people like what they see tonight. I feel it’s one of our best cards.”

Tony Khan has been very vocal about the success of All Elite Wrestling thus far. With AEW working with a number of different promotions, it makes all the sense in the world for him to want the business to do well.
