WWE legend Ric Flair had advice for AEW president Tony Khan
With injuries piling on for Tony Khan, it might benefit him to have someone assist him with the company's creative operations.
Tony Khan has clarified that he is the sole booker of All Elite Wrestling programming. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair believes that the Jaguars owner should delegate some of his work as Vince McMahon does.
"I would continue to own the company but I would let somebody fresh book it. Because he runs it, but he is also very vested personally in that football which he takes a lot of pride in... What I am saying is that Tony has to divide his time and his passion between two things, and sometimes I think you know how Vince doesn't like to delegate authority. Well, in this case, he delegated a lot of authority to Hunter [Triple H] and it's working."
With Tony Khan running ROH, Fulham FC, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. His hands are full with respect to being occupied, so it will be interesting to see if he hires any bookers to work on the weekly AEW product.
