Tony Khan On Eric Bischoff Comments: I Don't Really Care

Eric Bischoff has been rather outspoken when it comes to his criticism of AEW, slamming the company in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, declaring there to be ‘no hope’ for the company due to Tony Khan’s booking. 

The AEW president hit back when asked about Bischoff’s comments on K&C Masterpiece, shrugging them off and stating he doesn’t care about anything Bischoff says. 

“I have no idea. I don't really care what he says. We have done really really well and we have a great thing going with AEW and something to be really proud of. We're not only, for years to come, be doing shows on TBS and TNT, but we're going to set the record for the longest run of pro wrestling ever on TNT. It's pretty amazing because for a company only five years old, we've accomplished so much. We set the world record for wrestling ticket sales and we're just going into this new media rights deal that is historic and it hasn't even kicked in yet. 

“Starting January 1, every week, you can watch Dynamite, still on TBS, but we're going to be livestreaming on Max, which is a top streaming platform and, I think, the best streaming platform. We're going to have AEW every Wednesday night and every Saturday night on Max, in addition to TNT. It's really important for us because cable is massive and massive for sports and wrestling. TNT and TBS are staples of cable, as Eric himself knows very well, but it's really important for the future to also have a foothold in streaming, and that's what we're going to have now with AEW on Max. I think AEW is doing fantastic.”

Bischoff appeared on WWE NXT this week on a show which featured the worst rating in some time. It was reported that Bischoff is not planned for any WWE appearances in the near future.
