Tony Khan says AEW is “the wrestling I would love to watch” as a kid

While speaking to 103.5 KISS FM, AEW President Tony Khan commented on being a wrestling fan during his childhood…

“AEW, when I was a kid, is the wrestling I would love to watch… The first wrestling show I ever went to outside of Champagne, Illinois was actually in Philadelphia, was ECW. The first two shows I ever went to outside of Champagne were back to back, outside Philadelphia Friday night and then in Philadelphia Saturday night in the ECW arena and it was fantastic stuff. The late great Sabu passed away recently and I actually saw his stretcher match with RVD.”

“I grew up in Champagne, Illinois and when I was 12 years old, I started writing a show in an email thing with my friend and we would write shows and email them to each other. We drafted all the wrestlers and split all the wrestlers in the world up and wrote our shows and mine was Wednesday Night Dynamite and his show was at the Aragon Ballroom. He called it the Aragon Brawl Room.” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
