Shahid Khan, in particular, had reservations about creating a wrestling promotion. He told Forbes, “I absolutely didn’t think this was a good idea. But I told Tony, ‘Look, when I’m dead and gone, I’m going to be leaving you and your sister a lot of money. Why don’t you blow some of that while I’m alive?’” However, the father-son duo pressed forward, undeterred by naysayers. The result? AEW's rapid rise and undeniable success. The promotion's blend of fresh talent, engaging storylines, and fan-focused approach has resonated deeply, dispelling doubts and making AEW a legitimate contender.
Wow look at that, a direct quote.
