In a recent interview with the K&C Masterpiece, All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan discussed several topics, including his relationship with Eric Bischoff these days, and Bischoff’s criticism of the AEW product.
“I have no idea, I don’t really care what he says, we have done really really well and we have a great thing going with AEW and something to be really proud of, we’re not only, for years to come, doing shows on TBS and TNT, but we’re going to set the record for the longest run of pro wrestling ever on TNT.
It’s pretty amazing, because for a company only 5 years old, we’ve accomplished so much, we set the world record for ticket sales, and we’re just going into this new media rights deal that is historic and it hasn’t even kicked in yet.
Staring January 1, every week you can watch Dynamite still on TBS, but we’re going to be live-streaming on Max, which is a top streaming platform and I think the best streaming platform, we’re going to have AEW every Wednesday night and every Saturday night on Max, in addition to TNT.
It’s really important for us, because cable is massive and massive for sports and wrestling, TNT and TBS are staples of cable, as Eric himself knows very well, but it’s really important for the future to also have a foothold in streaming, and that’s what we’re going to have now with AEW on Max, I think AEW is doing fantastic.”
