“I’ve gotten so used to Tony Khan saying silly sh**, as a result of he is not the brightest bulb within the Christmas tree. He is simply not,” Bischoff started. “He could also be actually sensible on the subject of information analytics — though, I am even starting to query that, as a result of he is clearly not analyzing his personal information. I am certain there’s many issues that Tony Khan is clever about, however not on the subject of the wrestling enterprise, and definitely not on the subject of WCW.”
The latest episode of “AEW Dynamite” drew in practically 700,000 viewers, and as of writing, simply lower than 41,000 tickets have been offered for AEW’s All In pay-per-view.

“So, when Tony Khan makes comparisons and tries to check AEW and Tony Khan’s strategy to the enterprise to WCW, I simply snort,” Bischoff scoffed. “Once we’re speaking about … even ’95, ’96, ’97, ’98, and sure, even in 1999, with wheels falling off and flying down the freeway and sparks flying and all the pieces else. Tony Khan and AEW aren’t even near the place WCW was when WCW was on its technique to the underside. Do not legitimately attempt to evaluate what you are doing to even WCW, at considered one of its lowest factors.
Khan has not made any current comparisons to AEW and WCW, and the newest occasion of an AEW to WCW comparability was made in April 2024, when a number of within the skilled wrestling sphere in contrast The Elite and Jack Perry’s assault on Khan to an NWO-adjacent storyline.
