Tony Khan as Head of AEW Creative?

I feel like this is gonna be the Bischoff/Russo regime and I’m here for it.

Why would Heyman leave a sweet gig for a much more stressful and time consuming one?

He seemed to relish booking Raw towards the end of 2019 and before the pandemic. Who knows.

I'd mark like fuck for it, though. Heyman getting to go full Heyman would be awesome.

 

[Smart Marx]

Tbh "head of creative" could also just mean he's in charge of delegating people to actually do the writing and booking lol If he tries to run it like I imagine Vince does in WWE then yeah, I don't have much faith in him but if he listens and is opened minded then it could be fine.

That is what Vince does, but usually the person he delegates the book to is head of creative. Rn Brucey.

No he banned her bc she hated on "afro americans"

Pretty sure that's a separate issue and it's not like she was ever going to appear on AEW. So yeah, still has more to do with her last name than anything else.

I’d pop for some Brandi on a pole right now.

Tony banning Linda from AEW shows over a tweet and casually mentioning Hulk in the same tweet was bush.

Would draw more than the 800,000 viewers they typically get

But how's it a separate issue when he quoted the tweet? I'm not saying he's open minded by any means and he was clearly just trying to get woke clout from doing it but uh I def think it was the tweet lmao

The problem is, who the fuck cares about what Linda Hogan has to say about anything? It literally shouldn't matter what anyone says and this goof decides to ban her because she has the last name Hogan and because she says dumb shit? If this was anyone else, I doubt Khan would even mention it, but because Linda HOGAN said it, he just has to respond.

I don't see how this means he's not open minded enough to listen to guys he puts in charge and the wrestlers that are VPs though? He just wanted woke clout, it's that simple.

 

[Smart Marx]

There are plenty of racists in the fandom and industry and he singled out Linda to make a public example of.

He was virtue signaling because of her name and you the proof is in the pudding. He literally name drops Hulk for no reason. Like either Hogan were going to AEW.

Excellent point.

Woke clout doesn’t mean he can’t do business.

 

[Chris]

If he has like full creative control and a lot of influence and just tries to get shit he thinks will work over...then I do not have much faith though and I do think it'll be Jim Herd-like. Khan has seemed to be very competent as a promoter though and even the shit with Linda that I think was obvious pandering for woke points, shit it ain't a bad move to make in 2020 for the most part anyway.

 

[Dale]

I pay barely any attention to AEW but the stuff i've seen of this guy, he seems like a massive mark and wants to be one of the boys as it were. I do wonder if he has the balls though to make those unpopular and ruthless decisions that might piss some people off.

 

[Chris]

He seems more like someone that would placate as best as he can and give a lot of fan service pops (which I like so that's not a criticism), but that could end up being taken advantage of easily.
