AEW hits a major milestone this week as it becomes the longest-running episodic wrestling show on TNT.
There are plenty of loud voices in the wrestling world, all ready to criticise when they can.
Tony Khan has said the following to The Takedown:
“I do like to listen to feedback from lots of people across pro wrestling, and especially if it’s constructive, it can be really helpful. I think there’s a lot of times where you hear somebody say something, and they say, ‘oh, why didn’t they do it this way? Or ‘instead of going from point A to point B and then to point C, you know, maybe off in between point and point B, they could have added this,’ and so maybe there’s a good idea there they can use in the future.
I really do love hearing feedback from all kinds of people, from people in wrestling, wrestlers, people who work in wrestling in the production side or both, and fans. Fans that I’ve never been backstage at a show in their lives, but just love wrestling and watch it a lot, and they have great ideas… I had never been backstage at a wrestling show until I was in my 30s. And I just grew up watching it and loving it and following it and, you know, trading tapes and talking about it.”
