Speaking on a recent episode of South Beach Sessions, Tony Khan stated that he holds a different business mind than Vince McMahon. However, the WWE Boss’ younger version inspired him in a lot of ways.
The AEW chief further added that the global juggernaut was at the top of its game when the chairman himself used to write for the show:
Vince McMahon has played a pivotal role behind WWE’s swift rise in the wrestling business. His promotion stayed relevant and as a top dog for almost four decades, which speaks volumes for the chairman.
Mr. McMahon was the brainchild behind nurturing some of the top-notch superstars like The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock, to name a few.
He may have found himself under the radar of criticism for his recent bookings and letting go of multiple incredibly talented superstars. But he has already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest creative geniuses of professional wrestling.
AEW is gradually posing a tough competition to WWE
In many ways, AEW filled the void left in the marketplace by WCW decades ago. In the two years since its inception, Tony Khan has helped All Elite Wrestling become a competitive wrestling promotion.
It may not have exponential growth like WWE, but AEW holds the most stacked roster, featuring both rising stars and legends of the wrestling industry.
With the recent addition of CM Punk to AEW and the rumored debut of Daniel Bryan, the company could grab massive headlines and even initiate a similar version of the war that WCW started with WWE back in the day.
