In a recent interview with “Quinn and Cantara ? The Blood and The Treasure,” AEW President Tony Khan was asked whether he had watched the new Netflix documentary series about former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Khan said that he hadn’t had the chance to watch “Mr. McMahon” and that his attention has been primarily on the Jacksonville Jaguars football season and AEW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if he?s watched Netflix?s Mr. McMahon?yet:??No, I?ve been so busy with football and wrestling that I have not seen that documentary. I?ve not gotten to watch that. I?m mostly focused here on what we?re doing in AEW. I do love watching wrestling all over the world.?
On Vince McMahon?s work in the wrestling business:??Vince did a lot of wrestling, you have to give him that. I?ve never met him and have never really worked with him. I have grown up as a wrestling fan and historian of the pro wrestling business, so absolutely, we love being the challenger promotion and trying to grow and build AEW from the ground up. It?s only been five years and we?ve done a lot in that time.?
On possibly reviving War of the Worlds or Global Wars shows:??Yeah, I?d love to do that. That?s absolutely something we?re interested in. The War Of The Worlds concept, there?s definitely something to it. We?ve built something really special with Forbidden Door coming to North America and now expanding to Europe and also with AEW going over to Japan to compete at Wrestle Dynasty.?
On AEW?s collaboration with NJPW: ?We?ve got a great collaboration with New Japan, I?d love to expand it. You?re absolutely right, a few years ago, we hadn?t started working together and it?s kind of amazing how much in the past few years that AEW has been able to do in terms of collaborating with international wrestling promotions like New Japan and lucha libre in Mexico and really growing the business overseas and teaming up with the best international wrestling promotions and putting on these great matches.?
