Tony Khan Says He Will Always Listen To Fans

The AEW president states that he will listen to fans as long as he is running the company.

As a booker, it is safe to say Tony Khan listens to fans a lot more than WWE have as of late. With some high profile storylines that have had fans praising Khan, time will tell how long he can keep things up. Most recently, Khan has drawn the ire of some fans for how he handled the title unification match between Jon Moxley and CM Punk on last week’s Dynamite.

Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan was asked about fan reaction to the match and his decision to air it on TV.

“It’s okay. As long as everybody can watch the show and have a good time, however people want to react, it’s fine. The fans are always right. If I left them with a lot of questions going into the pay-per-view, for some people, they’re not used to that. It’s a different way to do it. It was a big success, it brought a huge rating, and I still think we’re going to have a big audience for the pay-per-view and hopefully, it will influence it in a very positive way. It’s okay for people to have questions and to express their questions in frustration or anger. I think’s perfectly normal. It’s obviously a different way to get from point A to point C. It’s not just going directly through point B in a straight line. I think it’s good. There will be a lot of exciting things, including a lot of great wrestling action on Dynamite, and we’re going to learn a lot about the pay-per-view. Remember this, the fans are always right. I will always listen to the fans, their opinion is always the most important ones and I hope by the end of the week, the fans understand how much I care about them and pro wrestling and how important AEW is to me and how strong AEW can be going forward for the rest of 2022 and many years in the future,”
