From word around the wrestling world, Tony Khan is not only a great owner but is also a great guy to be around. It was reported that during the high of the pandemic that Tony Khan was still paying workers who at the time were unable to travel. While this may not seem like a big deal to a normal person, in the wrestling world this is a big deal.
On the most recent media call for the All Out show, Tony khan went into details on how he worked side by side with NWA to get AEW talent to the Empowerr PPV.
I’m trying to help other companies in addition to my own. I think people have seen a lot of our women’s wrestlers…this past weekend, I loaned some of them out to the NWA and I thought that was a cool event they put together and I was happy to help out with it by sending our AEW talent and paying.
During the call, Khan also brought up how big the Casino Battle Royal is and how he is using the match to bring more attention to the division.
I had moved the Casino Battle Royale on this card because it is a really valuable match and in the two years when we did the first one, which I was the agent on and I will be the agent on this one too, it was great working with the talent. It’s a much better roster. Just like the first men’s casino battle royale, there were a lot of independent wrestlers and people who, God bless them they are great, but in my opinion the roster is much better. Just like at Double or Nothing, it was a much more coherent and better roster and much better match than the first one and I expect a more coherent roster and better match (with the women). The first women’s casino battle royale was good and I commended everyone coming back. I think we can top it and have a better match. The roster is more stacked and we have more star power. A lot of the biggest stars in the match weren’t here a couple of years ago.
The Casino Battle Royal is set to be one for the ages and if that wasn’t enough of a reason to watch Tony khan also hinted at a big surprise of a mystery entrant for the match, with many speculating on who the mystery entrant is. We will have to see tomorrow live on ALL OUT.
