AEW CEO Tony Khan recently did an interview with WGN Radio, where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During the interview, Khan discussed taking in fan feedback.
“Well, it depends on what it is. I think a lot of it is constructive,” said Khan. “Sometimes fans have a good perspective, and a lot of times it’s really worth listening to the feedback. Sometimes, if it’s disingenuous, there’s nothing you can do. There’s just not, like you said, not constructive. But I do think it’s always worth hearing the fans out and hearing viewpoints. Sometimes it’s fans of a different promotion that don’t really have anything positive to say, no matter what you do, and that’s fine.
“We sold 81,035 tickets at Wembley Stadium, and there were people trying to tear it down,” Khan continued. “People were saying, ‘Oh, they only got 73,000,’ as if that’s bad. That’s more people than were at the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight, and people were trying to say that, like, it was a bad number for AEW, it’s insane sometimes. So, you do have to be willing to take it all with a grain of salt because we’ve accomplished a lot with AEW, and we still have so much more to do. Really, it, in many ways, began here in Chicago. So, it’s very fitting that we keep coming back here to this great city.”
