Tony Khan Very Interested In Holding AEW Shows At ECW Arena

All Elite Wrestling have never held a show at the 2300 Arena (FKA ECW Arena) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but AEW President Tony Khan is "very interested" in holding Dynamite and Collision tapings at the famous building.

After being asked about holding a show at the venue on the post-Dynasty media scrum, Khan said: "2300 Arena, right? I would be very interested in that, truthfully."

Khan revealed he has an emotional connection to the 2300 Arena due to seeing an ECW show at the venue as part of his parents' trying to convince him to leave his friends behind and move to a better high school when he was 13 years old.

"I want to go to ECW Arena and I want to go and see the show that weekend. So when I was 13 I came here to Philadelphia and it was the first time I'd ever seen wrestling outside of my hometown and it was the first time I'd met most of my best friends in real life before it was like a normal thing to have online friends that you didn't interact with in real life. In like 1996, that was not normal, especially when you're like 13 and a lot of your friends are in college…So I would absolutely love to run there. It would be a reunion of some old friends and I think that would be really cool if we could go to the 2300 Arena sometime. I haven’t been there in a long time," Khan added.

Due to the building's iconic status, pro wrestling events continue to be regularly held at the 2300 Arena, with WWE NXT, MLW, TNA, and NJPW all holding shows at the venue in recent years.

All Elite Wrestling's Dynasty pay-per-view emanated from Philadelphia's Liacouras Center. Full results from the show can be found here.
