Tony Khan, the President of AEW, has shared his perspective on WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg’s recent opinion on All Elite Wrestling. In a recent interview, Goldberg stated that he has “not a chance” of joining AEW and criticized the product as “too cheesy.”
Tony Khan, who recently appeared on Josh Martinez’s Superstar Crossover, responded to Goldberg’s remarks on AEW. He stated, “Bill wanted to work here. I met with Bill several times. Bill was looking to work here. It’s funny because I had a bunch of really nice meetings with Bill and would have honestly been interested in doing something. I have a lot of respect for Bill.
Khan further added, “I was surprised by that because that certainly wasn’t what he said to me when he was talking to me about working here at some point, which I’ve always been open to and I really like Bill. It’s all about timing and we’re doing a lot of exciting things right now. Sting just finished up and went out on his own terms doing things he liked and felt strongly about. I know Sting and Bill are good friends.”
He continued, “I really like Bill and have respect for him. When I saw that, Bill has talked to me about working here, so I don’t think he had any problem with any of that content and anyone who saw Sting’s send off has had positive things to say. I’m not sure what that was about, but I do respect Bill and I like him very much. I wish him the best and God bless him. He’s a great name in wrestling. I love what we do in AEW, and he’s entitled to his opinions.”
Tony Khan took physical hits on AEW Dynamite last week
Last week, AEW Dynamite concluded in a shocking manner as Tony Khan was attacked by The Elite and Jack Perry. The episode saw Perry punching Tony Khan in the stomach, followed by The Young Bucks from The Elite delivering a ‘Tony Khan Driver.’
Following the attack, many stars from the locker room came to the ring. Even Tony Khan’s father, Shahid Khan, also made his way to the arena. Tony Khan was also seen wearing a neck brace at the recent NFL Draft.
