Tony Khan says he had a blast booking the first-ever AEW Continental Classic.
Speaking on the media call prior to last Saturday’s AEW Worlds End 2023 pay-per-view event, the AEW President commented on his approach to booking the tournament, why he enjoyed booking it, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the media call below:
On his approach to booking the tournament: “When you do an experiment, there’s an experiment group and a control group, and for me the control was everything we’ve been doing… The nature of [the Continental Classic] is a very sports-based presentation and it has some changes from the [G1 Climax], for example.”
On enjoying booking the tournament: “When I look at the tournament itself, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had working on something. It’s been so tremendous and such a highlight of the holidays. For me, it really put a smile on my face on Christmas to go back and watch some of it with my family.”
On being proud of the tournament: “The experiment was increasing the allocation of this very meat-and-potatoes, sports-based, old-school pro wrestling at its finest, in my opinion. The experiment I think has been very successful, and it has yielded really interesting results.”
