AEW President Tony Khan appeared on The Five Star podcast to talk about a number of topics, including his childhood dream of becoming a wrestling promoter.
Khan said, “When I was growing up, before I went to University of Illinois, actually before I went to University of Illinois Laboratory High School even, [being a wrestling promoter] was something I’d thought about and dreamed of. I started writing a show when I was in seventh grade called ‘Wednesday Night Dynamite,’ and it’s on every Wednesday now. We built it up and it became a real thing.”
On promoting wrestling on TNT and TBS:
“… It’s always been a dream to do pro wrestling as a promoter. I never dreamed I would get to do it on TBS and TNT. That was hollowed sacred ground. I don’t have to tell you guys being from the Carolinas, like you both are, how special wrestling on TBS and TNT is. It’s a great tradition.”
