AEW Original Says He Helped Tony Khan Book Multi-Man Matches During Early Days: “Sometimes He Listened”

[WWE Forum News]

An AEW original has elaborated on their creative input and how he would work with Tony Khan in putting together multi-man matches.

Following the success of All In back in 2018, All Elite Wrestling was officially established at the start of 2019 and presented its debut show Double or Nothing later that year.

In the early days of TV and pay-per-view, battle royals would regularly take place to determine new number one contenders for championships. During this time, Khan also had help from some of the veteran performers to put the more complex matches together.
During a virtual signing for K & S Wrestlefest, former AEW star Frankie Kazarian detailed how he would book the battle royals alongside Khan during the early days, but Khan would not always listen to his input:

“Tony (Khan) loves wrestling. That’s one thing we all have in common. He loves this business but, we had a lot of conversations. I helped him. A lot of those early battle royals, he would call me up and have me come down and book them with him because I had done a bunch of multiman nonsense matches and he would ask my opinion a lot which was cool, you know? And whether he listened, that’s another story.
Sometimes he did but, yeah, and then those days started… He surrounded himself around other people or honestly, he started just tightening his grip a little bit more and doing stuff more on his own so, which is fine. I was happy to help but I’m also just happy to be a wrestler. I don’t necessarily need to be in that position.”

Tony Khan Praises Rising Star In AEW​

While many established veteran performers have become All Elite in the past 6 years, so too have many wrestlers who are only at the start of their careers. During a recent interview, Tony Khan gave praise to a rising star, noting how much they have improved in the past year.
