Tony Khan and AEW are preparing for one of their major pay-per-views with WrestleDream now in the history books. The October 18th event was the third-ever edition of the PPV held by All Elite Wrestling in honor of wrestling legend and NJPW founder, Antonio Inoki.
Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently called out Tony Khan after his comments didn't sit right with Russo. Tony Khan strives to bring more and more eyeballs to his product and repeatedly talks about maintaining family-friendly ticket prices.
Talking on an episode of Writing with Russo on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Russo said that Khan can't book spots like the ones he does and still say that he is keeping family-friendly ticket prices. He said the fans would bury Khan for such a statement, as some of the extreme spots that wrestlers do in AEW aren't suitable for families, even if the prices are.
"You can't have Moxley matches with cheese graters, ripping ears, and drowning people in a fish tank. The spikes in the head, the Darby Allin spot in the last Sting match. Bro, you can't have this type of programming and then have Tony Khan go out and say, Oh, we're trying to keep our ticket prices family-friendly. That right there, Tony, they're going to bury you," Russo said.Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!
