AEW President Tony Khan appeared on the Battleground podcast to talk about a number of topics, including how the company had a great collaboration with the Costco Guys.
Khan said, “We absolutely look to the wrestling fans and we’re always looking to find ways to make new fans, but doing so in a way that’s respectful to wrestling. Just in recent weeks, we had a great collaboration with Big Boom AJ, Big Justice and The Rizzler.”
On how the Costco Guys helped last month’s AEW Full Gear PPV:
“With Big Boom AJ making a comeback in pro wrestling, he had that excellent match versus QT [Marshall] at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view show. It was a huge part of the live event. It helped drive buys. The pay-per-view was a huge success and the live event was a huge success.”
On AEW All In Texas:
“All In, the big stadium show, the first time anybody in America since the 90s has attempted to do a stadium show in America, [no] other wrestling company, any alternative wrestling company has tried this. It hasn’t been tried in a long time I think probably since WCW ran the Georgia Dome I believe. I think it’s going to be a great success for us.”
On selling over a million dollars in tickets:
“The [general] tickets go on sale on Monday. The pre-sale is open now, so you can look for the code, get into the pre-sale, try to beat the rush on Monday and be a part of this pre-sale that’s open now. We’ve already sold over a million dollars’ worth of tickets for All In and those VIP packages went greatly.”
