Tony Khan was a recent guest on the Grapsody podcast, and during his appearance, he explained why AEW won’t go the same route as WCW. The AEW President was asked about not making the same mistakes as WCW did in their later years. Several folks have drawn comparisons between AEW and WCW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Discussing WCW’s downfall: “It wasn’t even one thing with WCW. It was so many things. Death by a thousand cuts.”
Why AEW won’t suffer the same fate as WCW: “A lot of the reasons WCW would go away or go out of business just don’t really exist and aren’t really realistic business concerns for AEW. It’s not a company owned by a network, or even really a media property. It’s a family business, owned and operated and run by me. And I love wrestling, and I’m not going anywhere.”
