During a recent appearance on the “Into The Danger Zone” podcast, AEW Superstar Colt Cabana commented on Tony Khan’s ‘Forbidden Door’ concept in AEW, how it has changed his mindset on pro wrestling contracts, and more. He said,
“When Tony did this Forbidden Door thing, I just loved how it changed everyone’s thought process about wrestling. I was around when they started doing these contracts in Independent wrestling, which was mind blowing to me. I was always very against it. ‘How are you going to contract me when you’re not even paying me minimum wage of what a minimum wage worker is? What is the point?’ I feel WWE and the idea of wrestling made everyone think ‘this is how it has to be, no one can go out.’ I’m such a romantic for the old territory times where Dusty [Rhodes] is doing Florida, but he shows up in New York. Bruno [Sammartino] shows up in Australia. It’s so cool. It really took for Tony to be like, ‘yeah, that’s cool.’ Now, our wrestling mindsets are allowed to change a little bit. It’s not hurting anyone involved in the Forbidden Door. It’s only good.”
