Tony Khan makes sure "everybody is happy," says AEW wrestler: "You can't have everybody look great"
Tony Khan has been praised after one of his stars said that he keeps everyone happy. This will come as a breath of fresh air for the AEW President.
Tony takes a lot of flak for how he books the shows. He usually takes it in his stride and does not dwell on anything that could negatively affect the company. Bobby Lashley, who recently signed up with AEW, has revealed that Tony Khan makes sure all the stars are happy and everybody is taken care of.
While speaking with Chris Van Vliet, The All Mighty revealed how difficult it can be to manage things and book matches, but TK does it well.
“In the wrestling business, it is hard because the wrestling business can eat you up if you don't put your foot down, and I think that is the only thing that I can say with Tony is that he goes out of his way to make sure everybody is happy and everybody is taken care of and I think that is hard to do in a wrestling business because you can't have everybody be the champ. You can't have everybody look great, win every match, and have all the TV time. You’ve got to be able to, like, massage in and put it where it needs to be but ever since working with him, everybody is really cool,” he said. [1:18:47 - 1:19:27]
Bobby Lashley reveals Tony Khan knew everything about him
Former WWE star Bobby Lashley also narrated an incident that happened before he signed up with AEW that floored him. In the same interview, he revealed how Tony Khan knew everything about him.
“Going back to what I was saying before on why I picked AEW because when I did meet Tony, man, the dude actually surprised me in a lot of different ways. Like he knew everything. I saw him and he knew the matches that I had, where I was at, what I was doing, interviews that I’ve had. Just all the way across the board, he really is in touch with a lot of things," he said.
